Chapter 34 Your Skills Are Good
At first glance, Gustave felt that Darlene looked like that person.
If Darlene had not denied it and said that she had never been to an
orphanage, Gustave would not have easily dispelled his speculation.
Darlene felt a little strange. Why did Gustave care about her?
That day, Darlene was purely afraid that Gustave would take revenge on her
because of Douglas, so she deliberately concealed everything about herself.
Gustave asked himself, âThatâs right. Itâs the first time we met. You are inevitably on guard.â
Darlene looked a little embarrassed. She lied that day and said that she had
never been to an orphanage. She had never thought that she would see
Gustave again.
She said embarrassedly, âSorry, I did lie to you that day.â
A nosy inquiry appeared in Aleenaâs eyes. Her gaze swept between Darlene
and Gustave. âYou guys, so you have known each other, havenât you? How
did you know each other?â
Gustave did not hide anything and followed them inside. âIâve seen you in
Twilight Paradise.â
âTwilight Paradise, a nightclub?â The desire for gossip on Aleenaâs face
became even stronger.
Aleena knew Twilight Paradise because she had worked part-time in
Twilight Paradise.
She needed money very much and always did a few jobs at the same time.

She knew that the pay in Twilight Paradise was high.

Even if she was an ordinary waiter there and sold a few more bottles of wine in one night, she would
earn more money than a monthâs salary in other
places.
If she met a big shot who would throw a check to tip, she would earn more.
Gustave did not say anything more and only responded with a nod.
Darlene had gotten rid of the two men who had just controlled her, and she did not know where to go for
a while. With Gustaveâs permission, they went
to Gustaveâs motherâs ward.
When they entered, Catalina was sitting on the bed, watching cartoons. She looked at the people who
came in and smiled happily, âDad and Mom, you come. There will be snacks.â
Gustave had long been accustomed to it. He put down the fruit basket and shopping bags and explained,
âItâs a psychological illness caused by depression after giving birth. Her brain doesnât work well.â
Catalina wanted to get out of bed, but it seemed that her legs were weak. Her hands were holding the
bed, unable to get off.
Aleena took a chair for Darlene and sat down to peel an apple as she said, âThe nurse who knew how to
massage left. Mr. Walpole, you should find another one earlier. It has been raining for the past few days.
Your motherâs
legs ached again.â
Darleneâs gaze fell on Catalinaâs legs. The loose patientâs pants were rolled
up, and one of her legs was exposed.
Perhaps it was because Catalina didnât walk much and her nerves were damaged, so her muscles
became atrophied.

Darlene remembered that during the year when Avery was paralyzed, his legs were also like this. If his
legs were not given a massage, his legs would become very stiff.
Catalina was in a hurry to get out of bed, but she could not get out. She
hugged her legs and gasped.
Darlene got up and walked over. She looked at Catalina who was on the bed. âI know a little. Why donât I
give you a massage?â
Catalina seemed to be a little afraid of Darlene. Gustave went over to comfort
Catalina, and she obediently laid down.
Darlene brought a hot towel over and helped Catalina roll up her pants.
Darlene first stroke the outer part of Catalinaâs legs, and when Catalina
slowly calmed down, Darlene stroked Catalinaâs ankle to her knee joint.
Gustave just wanted to let Darlene try. Logically speaking, there were not
many young girls like her who knew massages. The nurses whom he had
previously hired for physiotherapy and rehabilitation were all middle-aged.
Aleena was only here to help Catalina with some trivial matters.
Gustave was a little surprised. âHow do you know massage?â
Aleena quickly said, âHer bastard husband used to be paralyzed in bed for a
year. She learned massage more professionally than a professionalâ¦â
Halfway through her words, Aleena realized that she should not say this in
front of Gustave. She smiled and stopped talking.
After Darlene massaged for half an hour, Catalina fell asleep comfortably on
the bed.
Darlene turned around and looked at Gustave. âYou can find someone to

massage her legs more. She should be able to get better slowly.â
Back then, Averyâs condition was much more serious than Catalinaâs. After being massaged by her for
more than a year, there were no longer any symptoms left. Avery was no different from a normal person.
Gustave handed Darlene a clean hot towel. âThank you.â
Darlene took the towel and wiped her hands. She shook her head. âIâm fine.â
A nurse came in to call Darlene. âMs. Garcia, Iâm looking for you everywhere.
The ward has been arranged for you. This is your admission form. You should go early.â
Darlene got up and went over. She took the list and greeted Aleena, âAleena,
Iâll be leaving. Thank you for just now.â
Gustave called out to Darlene, âI have a few things to ask you. Why donât we
go out and talk?â
Aleena originally wanted to stand up for Darlene and scold Avery a few more
times. After hearing Gustaveâs words, Aleena immediately stopped talking
with a meaningful smile.
âOkay.â Darlene nodded.
After leaving the ward, there was almost no one in the corridor outside.
Mental patients were special, so they could hardly walk around the corridor
casually.
Darlene followed Gustave to sit down on the bench in the corridor and said,
âMr. Walpole, go ahead.â
Gustave got straight to the point. âI used to stay in the orphanage before and
Chapter 34 Your Skilis Are Good

thought you looked familiar. Maybe I met you at that time. How old were you when you were in the
orphanage?â
Darlene replied, âAbout ten years old, or even younger. I didnât remember it much. When I was twelve, I
had an illness and forgot some things. Then I
was adopted not long after.â
In addition to vague memories, she almost could not remember anything else in those years. She
remembered that there was one time when she was pushed into the lake by someone in the orphanage.
It was a boy who saved
her.
The boy who saved her back then was also an orphan without a father or
mother. The orphanage still had the boyâs information.
Gustave had been in the Walpole family since he was a child, so it was
naturally impossible to be that boy.
Therefore, Darlene was not very interested in what Gustave said.
At most, it was at that time that Gustave went to the orphanage to have a tour
and accidentally met her.
Gustave looked a little disappointed. âHave you forgotten it all?â
Probably because Gustaveâs identity was similar to Averyâs, Darlene did not
wish to have too much contact with him, so she simply nodded and said,
âYes, I donât remember it much.â
Since she couldnât remember, there was no point in asking anymore.
Gustave changed the topic. âI was merely curious. You just helped my mother. I donât like to owe others.
Do you have any difficulties?â
Darlene shook her head. âMr. Walpole, you donât have to take it to heart. It
Ge: Bunus
was just a hand lift. I didnât do much for your mother.â
Gustave recalled the news he had heard not long ago. âI heard that your brother needs a heart now. Why
donât I help you find it?â
Darlene thought she had heard wrong. When she reacted, she was so joyful that she even forgot to
reply.
Gustave chuckled. âYou donât accept it?â
âI accept it. Yes, yes.â Darlene snapped back to reality and quickly nodded.
âIf you are really willing to help my brother, then thank you so much. If my brother can successfully find a
suitable heart, I can do anything for you, Mr.
Walpole.â
When she finished speaking, she felt unconfident again. âBut I really donât
seem to repay you.â
Gustave thought for a moment. âWhen I find a suitable heart for your brother, Iâll hire you to give my
mother a massage. Take it as your
repayment. I think your skills are not bad.â
Darlene nodded. âOkay, of course.â
Gustave half-jokingly said, âDonât worry. When the time comes, the salary will be paid accordingly.â
Darlene was so happy that she was at a loss for words. There was finally hope
for her brother to change his heart.
âThank you so much, Mr. Walpole.â
Gustave got up and gave her a business card. âAll right, you go and do your work now. There are not
many good nurses like you. I have made a Your Skilis Are Good
reservation. If you need any help, you can call me.â
Darlene grabbed the business card tightly, and her heart beat fast because of
excitement.
Looking at Gustaveâs back, Darlene suddenly said, âMr. Walpole, many people in Baltimore say that you
are ruthless, but I think you are a good
person.â
âA good person.â Gustave turned around to look at her, feeling that this term was a little novel. âNot many
people say that I am a good person. I will take
your words as a compliment. I accept it.â
When Gustave turned around, he saw Avery standing not far behind Darlene. Averyâs expression was
extremely gloomy as he looked over.
