Chapter 78 The Past
All these years, Darlene had been repeatedly dreaming about the fall ten years ago.
The orphanage organized the children to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. When she
sat at the edge of the mountain cliff, she was pushed down the top of the mountain and fell into the sea.
After that fall, she did not remember much about what happened before she was twelve years old, but
she only remembered that time she fell clearly.
She could still remember that when she suddenly fell from the top of the mountain, the children on the
mountain and the leader screamed in horror. The morning wind
whistled past her ears.
The sun popped out, the orange sunlight shone on the surface of the sea, and the waves roared
endlessly.
All of that quickly enlarged in her eyes, and her mind was blank. After her body fell rapidly, she fell into
the sea with a âbangâ.
Before her body sank into the water, she heard people shouting on the surface of the sea, and several
people stepped on the surfboard to come over to her.
She saw the face of a big boy who looked like he was in his twenties. When he got close to her, he
jumped directly from the surfboard into the sea and swam to her.
Providing timely help would always leave a deep impression.
After he reached out and got Darlene up, a few men who came with him originally planned to help, but
instead laughed and jeered, probably believing that he could
successfully save her.
That place was not too far from the beach, and it was not too difficult for someone good at swimming to
save her.
The boy held her and swam to the shore. He looked at her and said, âAurora, itâs you.â
But soon, his expression changed. He obviously lost his strength. He could not hold her in his arms
anymore, and his body began to sink.
She heard him complain in a low voice, âI was unlucky.â
When the waves rolled over, it was very sudden. His body seemed to have a problem. He held her tightly
and could not speak. He turned around and looked at the other men who were surfing.
The waves rushed them into the middle of the sea. He lost his strength, and the waves took him under
the water.
A man jumped down and swam over to grab her arm, and then the big boyâs hand let go
of her hand.
The big boyâs eyes disappeared, and she had never seen them again. She could not
remember them anymore.
Darleneâs forehead broke in a cold sweat. She lay on the bed and grabbed the blanket tightly. When she
fell into the nightmare, her entire body trembled violently.
Seth had already carried the medical kit over. He held the electronic thermometer and was about to
measure Darleneâs body temperature. Just as the thermometer in Sethâs hand reached Darleneâs
forehead, the person on the bed seemed to feel it. Darleneâs hand holding the quilt immediately
tightened.
Avery stood to the side. Seeing Darleneâs sudden reaction, he immediately cast a questioning gaze on
Seth.
Seth felt wronged. After testing Darleneâs body temperature, he threw the thermometer to the side and
said with some dissatisfaction, âIt has nothing to do with me. I didnât touch her. Can you two stop being
surprised?â
Avery obviously felt that Darlene had just been sleeping well, and her sudden resistance was because
Seth approached her with the thermometer.
He naturally wanted to find fault with Seth. âI already said that her body temperature is
normal. You donât have to test it.â
Seth was so angry that he laughed and directly quit. âShe doesnât seem to be sick. Donât ask me to treat
her. Iâm leaving.â
As he spoke, he really reached out to pick up the medical kit on the bedside table and planned to leave
directly.
He wanted to examine Darleneâs body temperature, and now it became his fault?
Avery had no choice right now. Seth had come all the way here, so Seth was the only one
who could examine Darlene.
It was rare for Avery to compromise. He turned around and sat down on the sofa. âAlright, I wonât say
anything anymore. You can check her up and prescribe some
medicine.â
Only then did Seth continue to examine Darlene with the stethoscope, while accusing Avery, âIt has only
been a few days since she faked her death and came back.
âLetâs not talk about whether she is sick or not, normal people canât stand your torment. She just woke up
from her coma last night, right?â
Avery shifted his gaze away from the bed. âItâs not my problem, at least not just my
problems.â
Seth turned around to look at Avery and gave Avery a sneer.
Avery guiltily changed his tone. âAlright, itâs my problem. You can prescribe her some medicine. If she
doesnât get better, I will take her to the hospital later when she wakes
up.â
Seth sat down on the sofa opposite Avery. Seth placed the medical kit on the coffee table, opened it, and
took out the medicine.
âNo matter how I look at it, her condition is a little strange. Her vitality is so much worse than before. Do
you have the medicine she took before? How about I bring some to the hospital for a check-up? You
should also take her to the hospital for a check-up.â
Avery replied, âSheâs done a check-up. We went there two days ago, and it still turned out to be an
ordinary heart disease.â
Seth was writing down his prescription with a pen. When he heard this, his hand paused for a moment,
and he raised his head to look at Avery. âGo to another hospital to have a
look.â
He didnât want to say much, but he had heard that Vivian and Jax were caught having an
affair in the hotel by Sandra last night.
Sandra was angry. The hotel had spread the news to Andrew. If Andrew hadnât managed to suppress
public opinion, Vivian would probably go viral now.
Seth always felt that Vivian was not a good person. As for Jax, he was not a good person
either.
As for the hospital that Avery had brought Darlene to, the person in temporary charge
was Jax.
Avery obviously understood as well. He frowned and said, âJax doesnât have the guts.â
Seth nodded. âI wonât judge. In any case, itâs best if you change to another hospital and personally watch
over them to give Darlene a check-up.
âHeart disease isnât my research focus, but Iâm not completely ignorant. It is not impossible to vomit
blood when normal heart disease occurs, but it wonât be so
serious.â
Avery recalled the diagnosis paper that Gustave had given him before. It said that Darlene was in the
late stage of heart failure.
That was considered a terminal illness. He could not accept it, so he chose not to believe
1.
Avery could not face such a fact. He shook his head. âNo, she has had a heart attack for so many years.
It wonât suddenly worsen. I know this.â
Seth left the prescription and medicine on the coffee table and stood up with the
medical kit in his hand.
âItâs just to change a hospital. It wonât take much time, and you wonât lose anything. This is all I have to
say. Itâs just my kind reminder. In short, think about it yourself.â
He left the guest room and closed the door. The guest room returned to silence.
Avery sat silently on the sofa and did not get up for a long time. He stared at Darlene,
who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
After a long time, he still took out his phone and found Giovanni on his contact list.
Giovanni had recently returned to the US. He was an internationally renowned medical
expert.
Previously, Avery contacted him and asked him to treat Nigel, but then an accident. happened, and Nigel
died.
His fingers lingered on the contact list for a while before he sent a message: âGiovanni,
I would like to ask for your help to do a checkup for my wife.â
