A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 53 Are You Pregnant?

Darlene was not a fool. The meaning of his words was self–evident.

Avery looked at her. He was 100% sure that Darlene would not refuse him at the of losing her younger brother’s

ashes.

When he spoke again, there was a hint of ridicule in his tone. “Take off your coat and stand in front of me. I won’t

repeat it. Do you have other choices?”

Whether it was the Darlene who loved him deeply a year ago, or the Darlene who hated him and feared him now,

neither of them had the confidence to say the word “no” in front of Avery.

Darlene met his gaze and looked at him calmly. She then said, “What if I don’t do it?”

Avery moved the urn in his hand closer to the fish tank. “Then use your brother’s

ashes…”

“Whatever. I don’t care,” she interrupted him, her voice calm and steady. It seemed that the ashes weren’t

anything important to her.

Avery thought he had heard something wrong. This should not be what Darlene said.

He knew very well how much Darlene cared about her younger brother.

Nigel was dead, his ashes should be cherished by Darlene.

But now, Avery seemed to be unable to see through Darlene. He even began to hate the person who killed Nigel.

If Nigel were still alive, Darlene could not have been so calm and indifferent. If Avery placed a knife on Nigel’s neck

and asked Darlene to kneel, she would do it immediately.

After a second thought, Avery came around. “You’re right. There is no afterlife in this world. What’s the difference

between the ashes of the dead and the soil on the ground?

It’s the same whether we keep them or not.”

As he spoke, he closed the urn and threw it to the side.

Unfortunately, such a good leverage to control Darlene was no longer useful.

Darlene glanced at the wooden urn that Avery had thrown to the side and secretly

heaved a sigh of relief. She forced herself not to betray her true emotions.

It was not easy to act in front of Avery.

However, she now understood that the more she cared about something, the more she could not show concern in

front of Avery. Only then would she be able to truly protect it.

Back then, it was because she had shown too much care for Nigel that Avery threatened her with Nigel again and

again until Nigel finally died.

Avery did not intend to give up just like that. He opened his phone and chose a photo. Then he showed it to Darlene.

“Your grandmother is very sick. She is old. She has liver disease, lung disease, and high blood pressure. Two days

ago, she almost died. It cost me a lot to treat her illness.”

Darlene still looked indifferent. She replied lightly, “Thank you for saving me a lot of money. I’m afraid you’ll still

have to pay a lot of money.”

The expression of victory on Avery’s face almost collapsed once again.

He suddenly felt annoyed, so upset that he wished he could dig out Darlene’s heart and

see exactly what she truly meant.

He did not believe that Darlene did not care about anyone or anything.

His hands, which were hanging by his side, had tightened at some point. Not only was

he annoyed, but he also felt a sense of unease.

He opened Line and intended to send a message. “Coincidentally, I also want to save some money. I’ll ask the

doctor to directly push your grandmother out of the ICU.”

Darlene saw that he was talking, but his hand did not stop on any contact number.

She decided to gamble again, betting that Avery would not dare to destroy the last leverage that threatened her.

“Good. Nigel is dead now. I really miss him. If I can die with my grandmother, we can

reunite in the underworld. It will be wonderful.”

Avery finally lost his cool and reached out to grab Darlene’s chin. He said angrily, “Are you crazy?”

Darlene looked at him desperately, not resisting at all. “I have been crazy for a long time. Avery, did you just know

me today?

“Nigel is dead. Do you think I still want to live? My grandmother has been plagued with illnesses for so many years,

and she has long wanted to be free. Do you think she wants you to save her life?”

Avery suddenly felt that the thread that he had been easily holding in his hand had been completely broken.

He could not catch Darlene and he could not understand her.

He had never felt this way before. A few days ago, he thought she had died. Likewise, he felt now that he was going

to completely lose her.

That kind of panic came suddenly. He reached out and held her tightly, his voice soft, “Do you know how I survived

these two days? I thought you were dead.”

Darlene frowned and pushed him away with disgust in her eyes.

The harder she pushed, the stronger his grip became. “Look at me. My leg is injured. I was sitting in a wheelchair

when I was looking for you in Lancaster. Can’t you see? You shouldn’t have pretended to be dead to scare me like

that. You can’t do that again.”

Darlene could not push him away. His hand seemed to grow on her body and he tightened his grip on her.

Darlene was very disappointed in him. However sweet his words were, he couldn’t

warm her heart again. She once dreamed that he could take the initiative to hold her

like this. She even wondered whether he would look at her seriously if she died one day.

But now that he was holding her, she only felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

Avery carried her and pushed her onto the bed, pressing his body against hers.

One of his legs was injured and bandaged, but the other leg easily pressed against her

legs.

Through the pouring light, he stared at her carefully. “Darlene, we can return to the old days. Everything will be fine

and everything will be the same. From now on, there will only be the two of us in Southwood Villa.”

Darlene glared at him and sneered, “Then why don’t you just stab me to death?”

Anyway, she had heart failure and wouldn’t be able to live for more than two or three months. It would be better

for her to die early than to feel disgusted by him.

Avery stared at her for a long time. He was so angry that his face turned ashen. He then

mocked himself, “You won’t be willing to stay with me. You already have another man in your heart. Right now, we

are like strangers.

“I work hard to pull a string, but you work hard to break that string. In the end, my

strength will always be greater than yours.”

He kissed her wildly. Darlene kicked him with both hands and feet until she kicked his

injured leg.

Avery pressed down on her leg with his bloodshot eyes. He pinned her hands on top of her head. When he kissed

her again, Darlene was so disgusted that she couldn’t hold it in. She was so angry that she felt nauseous. She threw

up without warning.

When Avery kissed her, she didn’t have time to break free. Half of the vomit rushed from her mouth to his mouth.

Avery’s face turned gloomy. He froze for nearly ten seconds and didn’t move.

After a long time, he finally confirmed the fact that Darlene had vomited into his

mouth.

He finally got up and rushed into the bathroom with Darlene at the same time. They vomited for a long time in front

of a sink.

When Avery finally caught his breath and had no time to fly into a rage, he looked at Darlene, who was still

vomiting. He asked suspiciously, “Are you pregnant?”
