A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 38 Dirty Woman

Avery’s voice rang out. Jax was kissing Vivian affectionately, but when he heard this, he immediately wanted to

push her away.

Vivian used the hand that Avery could not see to tug at Jax, telling him not to push her.

Jax was not stupid, so he immediately understood and pressed down on Vivian’s shoulder even more harshly,

wanting to continue kissing.

Vivian had an expression of unbearable humiliation on her face. She raised her hand and slapped Jax hard on his

face. The tears in her eyes looked like they were about to drip down. She looked like she was about to cry, but she

did not. It was more like she had been greatly wronged.

Avery thought that they cheated on him. But he then saw that Vivian was obviously resisting. She was no match for

Jax.

His expression immediately darkened. He quickly approached with anger, grabbed Jax by the collar, and threw him

to the side.

Vivian trembled as she retreated to the corner, looking at Jax in horror.

She seemed to be so scared that she could not even speak clearly. “Mr. Bullock, you are shameless. Since you are

the younger brother of Avery’s stepmother, I respect you. But you actually, actually…”

She stopped talking and walked behind Avery, sobbing in a low voice.

Jax had just come from Twilight Paradise where he drank wine. The smell of alcohol on his body had not dissipated

yet.

In this situation, he simply began to pretend to be drunk and shoved Avery.

“Go… Go back to where you came from. It’s not your turn to snatch what I’ve

set my eyes on.

Avery’s face completely darkened as he threw a punch at Jax’s nose.

Jax gritted his teeth in pain as blood flowed out from his nose and his mouth. He raised his hand and wiped his face.

He fell uncontrollably. Avery was really ruthless.

He got up, still looking drunk. He shakily pointed at Vivian, “Lucky woman,

don’t let me see you next time.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and propped himself against

the wall, slowly leaving.

Avery ignored him and approached Vivian, asking, “Are you alright?”

Vivian bit her lips and shook her head. “Avery, I’m fine. I came to the hospital to see my cousin–in–law and

happened to meet Mr. Bullock, so I greeted him politely. But I didn’t expect that after drinking, he actually…”

As she spoke, she was about to cry. Avery comforted her, “Don’t think too much about it. Jax is not a good person. If

you see him in the future, you should take a detour. You don’t have to greet him. He is not qualified to be

my family.”

Vivian nodded obediently. “I understand.”

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Avery gave up his plan about asking the

doctor about Darlene’s situation.

He took Vivian to the elevator. “I’ll take you back first. Are you done with

your work?”

Vivian nodded. “I’m done. I came to see my cousin–in–law. I have been there

for half a day.”

Avery responded with an “OK“. When he walked to the elevator, he glanced at the long corridor next to him. Not far

away, there were many doctors and

nurses walking.

He did not know why, but he thought that if Vivian had shouted just now,

someone must have heard her.

He felt that he should not have such thoughts, but he was a little suspicious. Once suspicion appeared, it would be a

little out of control.

When he entered the elevator, he even remembered that Jax had always been a good drinker. Jax was not

someone who would get drunk easily.

Even if he was really drunk, he should have drunk somewhere else other than in the hospital.

But just now, Avery saw that Jax had the car key on him. Jax drank too much and then drove here by himself?

Avery was lost in thought. He did not even realize that when he stood in the elevator, his gaze at Vivian had a hint

of inquiry.

Vivian was even more uncertain when he looked at her. She forced herself to ask, “Avery, what’s wrong? Is there

something on my face?”

Avery came back to his senses and immediately averted his gaze, returning to his normal appearance. “It’s nothing.

I was just thinking about the

company.”

Vivian pouted playfully. “You are in the company during the day. Why are you still thinking about business at night?”

However, Avery obviously did not have the mood to flirt with her. It was as if

he could not hear the coquettish tone in her words. He only replied, “It’s

nothing important.”

Vivian felt guilty, so she did not ask any further.

Until she got into the car, Avery hadn’t held her hand or held her.

She felt that although he did not seem to care on the surface, he was actually looking down on her.

It was because he had just seen Jax forcefully kiss her.

Vivian was unhappy, but she sat in the car and could not show it.

She would always subconsciously compare herself to Darlene. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that time

when Jax had pressed Darlene onto the bed. Avery had not shown such dislike, and he pulled Darlene’s arm

and left with her without a word.

Vivian realized that she had been secretly comparing herself to Darlene recently. In her relationship with Avery, her

sense of security was getting

lower and lower.

She could not tell why, but she felt that although Avery treated her well, he

treated Darlene better.

The car stopped in the front yard of the villa. Avery had the habit of occasionally smoking in the car before he got

out of the car.

He took out the cigarette box and let Vivian go in first. When she got out of the car and entered, he lit a cigarette.

He did not remember when this habit was developed.

It seemed that during the two years he married Darlene, she was sensitive to

the smell of smoke. Sometimes, before he went in, he would smoke in the car

first.

His tobacco addiction was not too heavy, but he had never deliberately

wanted to quit.

When a cigarette was about to be finished, maybe because this kind of night was too cold, he thought more about

it, and somehow he remembered the two years when he married Darlene.

He put his hand outside the window until the cigarette reached his fingertips. Then he came back to his senses and

frowned.

What was he thinking about?

He put out the cigarette, got out of the car, and ordered Cyrus, someone drive the car away to wash it.”

“Have

Cyrus felt a little strange. It was so late at night. Why did Avery suddenly

want to do this?

But in the end, he could only comply.

Vivian did not interact with him too much tonight. Seeing that, Avery said that he was tired and directly went back

to the bedroom, and she went back

to her bedroom to sleep.

Avery came out of the shower, but he was not sleepy.

He opened the bedroom door and went out. He originally wanted to go to the study to wait for a while, but when he

looked in the direction of Darlene’s bedroom, he guessed that she should not be sleeping at this time.

He suddenly felt unhappy. Since she was missing another man, why should he sleep in separate rooms with her as

she wished?

He directly went over. This was his home, and he was married to her. He could go if he wanted to. What was there

to be cautious about?

Because Avery wanted her to give birth to a child for Vivian in the evening, Darlene was so angry now.

She had a heart attack, so she had to take an extra dose of medicine. She also spat out blood, and she had already

fallen asleep now.

When she was half asleep and half awake, she felt as if she heard the sound of the lights turning on. Soon, the bed

beside her seemed to sink.

She was still not awake, but she immediately felt something pressing against her body. Her heart skipped a beat,

and she suddenly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, Avery’s eyes were right in front of her. He was very close to her, which almost scared

her to death.

Before Darlene could say anything, he spoke calmly, “Why are you sleeping so early today?”
