A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 137 Leave the Hospital

Avery wondered if he had misheard. What was wrong with Gustave? What did he do here? Was he crazy?

Before Avery could figure out what was going on, he heard Gustave say to Darlene. “Aurora, I’ll take you away.”

In an instant, Darlene, who had a frightened expression on her face, froze. She stopped struggling.

She looked at Gustave with her red eyes and could no longer hold back her tears.

She gave Gustave a pleading look. “Please save me.‘

Avery clenched his fists tightly. He finally understood why Gustave had come over and why his attitude had

changed.

He was furious and reached out his hand, trying to pull Darlene to his side.

He shouted, “Darlene, did you call Gustave over? It seems that I underestimated you. Did you forget whose wife

you are? Do you think he can really take you away?”

Just as he reached out his hand, Darlene retreated in fear. Soon, her back hit the bedside.

table.

Her face turned pale, but she had no time to groan in pain. The only thing on her mind.

was to run out of the ward.

She was afraid of Avery and did not want to see him. She had a nightmare about what had happened between

them just now.

He had pressed her down in the heavy rain and kicked her hard on the knee.

He had stepped on the back of her hand with the tip of her leather shoes, making the

back of her hand bleed.

He had ordered his tall and robust bodyguards to take her to have a miscarriage. He had ignored the doctor’s

suggestion and said coldly, “No matter what happens, she can’t give birth to the child.”

He had poured the hot water on her and pressed her head into the bathtub. He had stopped Nigel from having

heart transplantation twice in a row.

The more she did not want to think about these things, the clearer they flashed across

her mind.

It was like a movie on a big screen. She could not do anything to stop it but watch it until

it finished.

She didn’t stop stepping backward until her back was against the wall.

She covered her hand on her chest. Although she had gotten those things through for a long time, she felt heart–

wrenching at the thought of them.

She suffered too much because of Avery. Ever since they met, she had fallen into despair

bit by bit.

Her breathing became heavier, and she was about to fall apart.

However, Avery continued to stare at her with a reproachful and dissatisfied gaze. He seemed to question her if she

was the one who had called Gustave over.

As he approached her step by step, Darlene felt the look in his eyes terrifying.

Her breathing was uneven, and her hands trembled violently.

Gustave grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him. Then, he looked coldly at Avery. “Mr. Gallard, don’t you see

that she is extremely resistant to you now?

“As she is suffering from depression, you can be considered her guardian to a certain

extent. However, it’s a special situation now. If you insist on keeping her by your side,

you will make her die.”

Avery’s eyes were red. He felt extremely uneasy. “Gustave, what nonsense are you talking about? Darlene is my

wife. Who do you think you are? How dare you try to take

her away from me!”

Gustave turned around and looked at Darlene. Then, he continued, “I have asked Leana about Aurora’s condition.

She still has the ability to think independently and rationally. I won’t force her to leave with me. I will ask her about

her opinion.”

He grabbed Darlene by her wrist tightly. “How about I take you away?”

Darlene looked at him in a daze.

Gustave continued gently, “You can trust me. I’ve known everything. I will help you the

same as before.”

Darlene’s hands trembled a little. After a while, she nodded and avoided Avery’s gaze in

fear.

She said in a soft but firm voice, “Thanks.”

Avery said as his face turned gloomy, “What are you doing? Gustave, listen, let go of Darlene!”

As he spoke, he walked close to Gustave and tried to pull Darlene back.

However, Darlene’s eyes were filled with great resistance toward him. Whenever he took a step forward, she would

take a step back behind Gustave. She wanted to escape at any time.

Avery looked into her eyes and finally realized that she hated him and wanted to stay away from him.

A strange confusedness descended on his mind. “Darlene, I am your husband. I will take good care of you. You are

not in good health right now. You can’t leave the hospital for

the time being.”

Gustave interrupted him, “I will ask the best doctor to treat her. Mr. Gallard, you should know very well that she will

recover soon as long as she doesn’t see you.

After that, Gustave turned to look at the policeman beside him and said, “Mr. Gallard, you don’t need to say

anything else. As you see, Darlene can’t stay with you now.

“Her mood is unstable. She wants to leave you. This is her choice. If you still feel worried, you can ask Dr. Elicott

about her suggestions.”

Leana, who had been standing at the side silently, handed the report to the policeman and said in a deep voice, “I

am Ms. Garcia’s therapist. Based on the result of her psychological examination, I suggest respecting her own

choice for the time being.

“Since she suffers from both depression and heart failure, we’d better not force her to do anything she doesn’t

want. We have to prevent her from having swing emotions. Otherwise, she will be in danger.”

Giovanni was too busy to come over. Therefore, Leana and Nathen became the ones who

knew Darlene’s condition the best.

Leana was Darlene’s therapist. Nathen worked together with Giovanni to be in charge of Darlene’s heart disease.

After Leana finished speaking, she looked at Nathen. “You are also clear about Ms. Garcia’s condition. As her

attending physician, do you have any suggestions?”

Nathen maintained silence for a moment. He did not want Gustave to take Darlene away, but he didn’t want to

show his dark side in front of Darlene either.

He didn’t say a word until Nigel, who had just rushed in, begged him in a trembling voice, “Dr. Elicott, please help

my Darlene. You know what is better for her.”

Nathen clenched the medical record in his hand tightly and finally said, “Now, the most important thing is to

stabilize Ms. Garcia’s emotions. She can’t stay by Mr. Gallard’s side calmly, which will make the illness worse.”

Gustave looked at the policeman beside him. “The situation is already very clear, right? Ms. Garcia is an adult. She

has the right to leave the hospital. Can I take her away now?”

As he spoke, he was about to take Darlene away. When he walked out, Avery motioned. to the bodyguards standing

outside the door to stop him.

In an instant, several bodyguards of Gustave immediately came over as well. The atmosphere quickly became

subtle.

Gustave laughed. “What are you doing? The police are still here. Are you going to resort. to violence? Mr. Gallard, I

will take Ms. Garcia out for a walk. Anyway, I’m her friend. Is

there any problem with it?”

Since both Gustave and Avery were powerful, the police didn’t dare to annoy either of

them.

The police had no reason to stop Darlene from going out with Gustave.

Avery’s bodyguards could only get out of the way. Gustave took Darlene out and comforted her in a low voice, “It’s

fine. Don’t be afraid. You fell into the sea and survived. You are brave. You can get through everything, right?“
