A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 169 He Won’t Find You

Darlene turned to look at Gustave. She felt she had heard something wrong. “Lost his

memory?”

Avery could not remember anything? But why?

Avery had done so many bad things, so he should keep his memory for the rest of his life. He should dream about

bloody bodies in the middle of the night.

Avery should have lived in a nightmare for the rest of his life, but he had forgotten everything now.

Gustave nodded. “Darnell found out about it from the doctor secretly. There might be more to it. It seems Avery

has forgotten everything, including Andrew and the others in the Gallard family.”

Gustave raised his wrist to look at the time and hesitated for a moment before saying, “It might be a good time to

check on your grandmother.

“Now that Avery has just woken up, the elders of the Gallard family are probably all in his sick room, and no one will

be in the mood to pay attention to your grandmother and younger brother.

“We can find a way to take away your younger first. As for your grandmother, it might

be a little troublesome.

Darnell found out Nigel had just finished school and was now in Reina’s sick room.

Avery was unconscious, so it was a good chance to take away Reina and Nigel and

escape.

More importantly, Gustave did not mention that Avery was unconscious, so Andrew might impulsively make a move

on Nigel and Reina out of resentment towards Darlene.

Not to mention, other people like Sandra might also take advantage of this opportunity

to scheme.

If Nigel and Reina continued to stay in the Gallard’s house, they would be in danger.

Darlene believed in Gustave, so she did not ask further.

Knowing it was urgent, she nodded. “Okay.”

Gustave got up and poured her a glass of water. “Let’s eat first. It’s still early. It’s better to go later.”

He noticed Darlene was a little out of sorts and was probably thinking about something else. Perhaps it was because

her body was weak and she was in a much worse state of

mind.

Gustave comforted, “Darlene, you don’t have to feel too much pressure. Avery has only himself to blame. It has

nothing to do with you.

away. Then we “It is only natural that you take your grandmother and younger brother

can go

abroad to treat your illness together. I bought an island abroad. It has everything. There are villas and schools for

Nigel.”

Gustave had not yearned for such a peaceful life, but now he was looking forward to it. “The island has no snow or

cold wind. Instead, it has birds, beaches, and warm

seawater.

“Even if Avery remembers everything, he won’t be able to find you. When your illness is cured, you can do

whatever you want and go wherever you desire. You will be free.”

Darlene did not say a word for a long time. Just listening to it felt great.

But she knew those days were too far away.

Her voice was a little low. “Are you going abroad too? What about the Walpole Group?”

Gustave did not seem to care. “It doesn’t matter. The Walpole Group already has a new CEO. I don’t need to worry

too much now. I have my own business overseas. Don’t worry. I have enough money for you to live with your

grandmother and brother.”

Darlene froze for a moment before realizing Gustave seemed to have misunderstood. “That’s not what I meant. I

feel I will drag you and your family down.”

Gustave chuckled and did not say anything else. “Alright, let’s eat now. Why are you thinking so much? You just

need to take care of your body.”

He knew Darlene only had two months left. During this time, he hoped to put aside other things and accompany her

to finish this last journey.

If her illness could be cured, then it would be great.

If it could not be cured, then at least in this last period of time, he hoped she would have

no regrets.

Footsteps came from outside the door, and then a strange laughter sounded. “Oh, Gustave, you and Ms. Garcia’s

relationship is so enviable. No wonder you can give away the company. Even the board of directors said you had a

big heart.”

Gustave’s face turned cold. He looked sideways at Ricky who walked in and said in a low voice, “What are you doing

here?”

Ricky smiled and put a paper box on the table. He deliberately did a terrible job, and the paper box fell from the

table, and the things inside fell on the ground.

The messy pile of documents, the laptop, and a few exquisite ornaments with cracks lay

on the ground.

Ricky immediately crouched to pick them up. “Gustave, don’t mind me. I am so careless. These things must be

expensive, right? Give my secretary a number, and I’ll double it. No, let’s make it ten times.”

Gustave glanced at the jadestone in his hand and said lightly, “My things are not worth much. The one in your hand

is only worth 2.3 million dollars, and the rest are about the

same price.”

Ricky’s expression froze for a moment, and his smile faded a little.

These things were worth that much money?

Ricky stood up after a long time, and his action of picking up the things back into the box became significantly

softer. “I made them fall. Don’t worry. I will compensate you

ten times the money.”

Gustave then casually glanced at an ornament that was placed on the top. “That

ornament is a little more expensive. I got it from Bob. It is ancient and worth 50 million

dollars.”

Ricky could not laugh at all. Darnell just happened to walk in from outside and said to Ricky.

‘Although these little things are not worth much, they all have invoices. Since you said you wanted to compensate,

why don’t you take the invoices and these things? Mr. Walpole won’t keep them anymore. It will be a waste if they

are thrown away, right?”

Ricky calculated and realized he would lose all his money if he fulfilled his promise.

Ricky laughed and wanted to change his words. “Gustave, you don’t have to do this, right? We are related, and I

don’t have much money. Why do you need to be so serious? Why don’t I help you pick a few small things and send

them over later? The new ones are better than the old ones.”

Darlene held the phone that had a video of what had just happened and waved it. “Ricky, one is 50 million dollars.

The other five are 2.3 million dollars per piece. As for the other ones, since Gustave didn’t mention it, just forget it.

“If it’s ten times, it’s a total of 615 million dollars. Are you going to give it now or later?
