Chapter 16 Avery Suspects Vivian
Avery was indeed also suspicious of Darlene’s real illness. Recently, he had run into the moment when Darlene took pills several times. There were many colorful pills. Each time Darlene would take a lot of pills.
Avery remembered that Darlene did not take various pills before, but the labels of those medicine bottles were torn off.
Although Avery did not like Nathen, he could not help but ask, “So what exactly is her illness?”
Nathen could not wait to tell Avery that Darlene had a heart illness and could only live for half a year more.
Moreover, Darlene had to be lucky for half a year. Every time she had a heart attack, she would have to be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
Otherwise, if she could not be treated in time, she would be another normal patient who suddenly died of heart disease.
However, Darlene had told Nathen not to speak it out. So he had the obligation to respect the patient’s choices.
Nathen said unhappily, “In short, she has a serious heart disease. Mr. Gallard, if you cared about her, you would have to ask her about the matter when she wakes up. It would be better to change another heart. It is very difficult to find a suitable heart for her. You can also help her on the matter
when you are free.”
Avery stared at Darlene on the bed. He had not realized how serious the
matter was. More importantly, he still felt that Nathen had made a fuss over This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
some little matter.
Avery could not believe it. Ordinary heart disease could also have taken place
suddenly. How could she have to change a new heart?
Nathen saw that Avery did not listen to him, so Nathen still left the room
first.
It was useless for Nathen to tell Avery more details. If Avery indeed cared about Darlene, he would also have understood that Darlene was in an extremely bad condition no matter whether Nathen told him the truth or
not.
In the past few days, Darlene had thrown up blood so many times that her face was always extremely pale. If Avery cared about her, how would he ignore what was going to happen to her?
As soon as Nathen left, the room became quiet. It was already dawn.
Avery was awake. He just sat by the side of the patient’s bed. He did not know when he had sat down there. The door was opened, and Seth walked in.
Before Avery opened his mouth, Seth spoke first, “I heard from a friend in the hospital that something had happened to Darlene, so I came over to pay a
visit.”
Avery replied “got it” indifferently and did not say anything else.
Seth took a chair and sat down. “If I was not wrong, it would have been caused by Vivian again, right? I heard that Darlene even lost her breath, and she could only live once. If she died, you would have no chance to regret it.”
Avery’s face darkened. “Darlene took the knife herself, and she was the one
who caused the matter. If she didn’t mess around, nothing would have
happened to her.”
Seth sighed. “You just have overdone it. In the few days that Vivian returned
from abroad, I heard about what you have done. You have indeed gone a little
too far with Darlene.
“Vivian said that Darlene had trapped her, but did you just believe what Vivian said without any investigation?”
Avery looked unhappy. “Vivian wouldn’t lie. I know what kind of girl she is?”
Seth argued back, “Then what kind of person is Darlene? How she has treated you all these years? Even if she was not warm–hearted enough to you, at least she did nothing bad to you, right?”
Avery replied indifferently, “She might be good at playing a role. She might
hide it.”
Seth spoke for Darlene, “Remember what Darlene had done before? How did Darlene take care of you all these years? When you were hit and could only lie on the bed in the car accident, Vivian abandoned you and went abroad. Darlene, who was only nineteen years old at that time, dropped out of school and took care of you for a year. She cared nothing but the matter at that time.
“At such a young age, she has taken care of you day and night in the patient’s room, wiping your body on her own. She kept asking me what kind of massage could help you recover. Just after learning it, she would do it for
you.”
Avery knew well about it, it was just that he was not willing to recall it
anymore.
It was the most unbearable period for him. As for Darlene’s efforts, he
thought that it was only because she had harmed Vivian so that she felt
uneasy.
Avery ignored it and explained, “She forced Vivian to go abroad. If Vivian was here, she would have taken care of me like that. Moreover, Vivian saved
my life back then, so I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Seth smiled. “I didn’t know that Vivian saved your life and I have no comment. But you said that Darlene drove Vivian away to get close to you. I would like to ask about it. Mr. Gallard, what did Darlene want?”
“At that time, she had the shares of the Gallard Group, and Mrs. Gallard had given her enough money and power.” Seth felt sorry for Darlene when he heard what Avery said.
Seth added, “As for you, the doctor had already declared that you would be in such a state for the rest of your life. Did she go out of her mind just to ruin her future and happiness for the rest of her life by taking care of you, such a hopeless patient?”
Avery stopped him impatiently. “Seth, I know it well. You don’t have to speak for Darlene. The only reason I could not allow her to die now is that she owes Vivian. Darlene should pay back for her sins.”
Seth looked at Darlene’s pale face when she still lay on the bed. “All right, I have no comment about your family matters. But I have to remind you. It’s better to be kind to Darlene. Don’t wait until you regret it in the future. When you recall what you have done to her, you may have no way to make up for it
even if you want to.”
Avery disagreed, “I have nothing to make up for Darlene. She should make
up for what she has done. It is her fault.”
The conversation could end now. Seth sat for a while longer. Seeing that
Darlene was fine, he left first.
Avery did not know why, but as he repeatedly recalled what Seth had said, he
began to doubt what had happened.
When Avery recalled the day when Vivian suddenly broke into the room and what happened next, he felt that something was wrong.
He called Cyrus to come in and asked, “Did you find it out? Roselyn who took care of my grandmother before should have known best about what my grandmother did to Vivian.”
Seeing Darlene still resting on the hospital bed, Cyrus replied in a low voice, “Mr. Gallard, we have already found something. We will bring her back as soon as possible.”
After he finished speaking, he continued carefully, “Sir, excuse me. I have also stayed with the Gallard family members for so many years, and I know
Mrs. Gallard well.
“In my opinion, even if Ms. Garcia urged Mrs. Gallard to do something, Mrs. Gallard would not have done anything to drive Ms. Sheridan away. Moreover, Ms. Garcia has always been gentle and kind. It would be a little weird if she suggested Mrs. Gallard in that way.”
In the end, Avery was unwilling to suspect Vivian. Vivian had once saved his life. If there was no absolute evidence, he would never hurt her.
Avery said, “All right, Cyrus, stop it. You can leave now.”
Cyrus stopped talking and was about to leave when they heard the sound of
porcelain bowls shattering suddenly from outside.
Avery immediately stood up and walked to the door. “Who is it?”
He opened the door and saw Vivian turning around to leave.
The door had already been opened, so she could only pause. She seemed to be in a panic.
