A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 44

Chapter 44 The One Saving Him Might Be Darlene

Avery was recalling what happened many years ago. Avery had never doubted the fact that Vivian risked her life to save him.

It was also because of that thing that Avery’s feelings and tolerance towards Vivian had always been special.

With these memories, Avery said firmly, “Back then, because she was saving me, Vivian’s left shoulder was severely burned and there’s still a scar. Moreover, even in that chaotic situation, I saw her face.”

At the very least, he roughly saw her face. And it was after he escaped from death that Vivian’s left shoulder was injured and had a scar.

When he said this, Avery suddenly paused.

One thing came to his mind suddenly for no reason. That was, Darlene and Vivian looked alike, and there were many similarities in their facial features.

This was also why Avery often treated Darlene as Vivian’s substitute in the years that Vivian had been abroad.

Moreover, he vaguely remembered that there was also a scar on Darlene’s left shoulder.

However, he wasn’t sure about it. To be honest, he didn’t pay much attention to Darlene.

And now, because Darlene had been scalded by him, there was a new scar on her left shoulder. He couldn’t tell if there had been any old injuries.

He felt that his conjecture was very ridiculous, and as if he was comforting himself, he repeated it, “In short, it must be Vivian who saved me.”

Ge, denus

The sense of uneasiness grew deeper. He even began to fear. He was afraid that from the beginning, he had made a big mistake.

This was something he could not accept, so he subconsciously denied these

guesses.

He hoped that all his previous judgments were correct. Darlene had hurt Vivian, and everything she had suffered now was deserved.

Avery looked at Cyrus. For the first time, he felt hard to make a judgment. “Cyrus, why do I feel that I seem to have done something wrong?”

Cyrus said carefully, “Even if Ms. Garcia had forced Ms. Sheridan to go abroad and hurt Ms. Sheridan, I personally feel that Ms. Garcia has paid the price for that.

“Ms. Garcia had undergone a miscarriage and stayed in prison and a mental hospital. Now, her brother’s matched heart has been lost. I think it’s enough.”

Avery was a little absent–minded. “Yes, she had undergone a miscarriage, been imprisoned, and been sent to a mental hospital by me. Now, the chance for her brother to get a new heart has been ruined by me. If I were wrong, I wouldn’t have been able to make up for it, right?”

Cyrus was silent and did not respond.

If Darlene had been wronged from the beginning, then she had suffered too much. No matter how much she loved Avery, she must not have those feelings for him.

At this point, what was left was probably only hatred.

Avery shook his head. “I wouldn’t be wrong, I definitely wouldn’t be wrong. You are right. Although she deserves it, she has paid the price. I’ll let it go. I

forgive her.”

He would not admit he was wrong, ever.

Avery propped his hand against the window and saw the sky gradually lighting up. He said, “Tell the servants to get some food for her and Nigel. I’ll bring it in.”

Cyrus nodded and left.

A moment later, the servants brought the food over, and Vivian came here.

After she got closer, Vivian said considerately, “Avery, Ms. Garcia seems to have suffered a lot. I made soup for her and brought it here. It’s quite a lot. You haven’t eaten anything yet. Let’s eat some.”

Avery nodded. He took the food box from the servant and walked directly to

the ward.

This was probably the first time that Vivian was ignored by Avery. She held her soup awkwardly and quickly followed.

The door to Nigel’s ward was not locked, but Avery did not go in directly. He

raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Vivian looked at the ajar door and reminded, “Avery, the door is not locked. Ms. Garcia and Nigel might be asleep. Why don’t we go in?”

Avery did not open the door. After waiting for a moment, he raised his hand

and knocked on the door a few more times.

After knocking several times, Darlene finally got up impatiently, opened the

door, and looked coldly at them.

She noticed Vivian beside her, and her eyes were cold. “Can you get out?”

Vivian was about to cry, thinking that Avery would definitely be angry because he could not stand people talking to him like this.

However, Avery did not have much reaction. He handed over the things in his hand. “I see that you are the only one taking care of your brother here. You probably won’t be able to go down to buy food, so I get you some.”

Darlene did not accept it and sneered. “Sorry, we won’t eat your food. Avery, if you have a bit of conscience, get out with Vivian. Don’t pretend to be a

good guy. It’s gross.”

This was probably the first time Avery had been so humble to someone, and he unnaturally stuffed the thermos into Darlene’s hands. “Take it whether you eat it or not. They’ve been sent here. And I’ve already eaten.”

Darlene nodded. “Alright, thank you.”

She threw it into the trash can next to the door. “You said it’s fine whether

we eat it or not. I’m sorry. We won’t eat it. Can you leave now?”

Avery was a little displeased. Vivian immediately spoke, “Avery, don’t be

angry. Ms. Garcia is just in a bad mood.

“Ms. Garcia, I made soup for you. Why don’t you have some soup? Don’t

starve yourself.”

Darlene took the bowl of soup. It smelled greasy.

She looked at it and chuckled. “Oh, it’s healthy vegetable soup. Thank you, but I don’t need it. I’d rather you keep it.”

Just as she finished her words, Darlene took a step closer to Vivian. She raised the bowl of soup and placed it upside down on Vivian’s head.

The soup flowed all over Vivian’s face, and the makeup on Vivian’s face was

Darlene noticed that Avery looked angry, and she threw the empty soup bowl onto him.

“What else tricks have you not used? You can get me food as much as you want. Come on. I will hold on to the end.”
