A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Slap Vivian On Her Face

Darlene, with what Gustave had said on her mind, failed to notice the slit in

the door.

Since she was in a rush to get dressed so as to get to the hospital right away,

she put her phone on speaker.

Gustave’s voice sounded again. “Well, we still have to wait for the final results. I mean, the heart might not be a match. But come over anyway. Nigel

needs to go through some examinations.

“And I will keep in touch with the donor. Once we are told that a heart

transplant operation is viable, I’ll arrange everything right away.

Worried that he might give Darlene false hope, Gustave added, “Don’t get your hopes up. What I am saying is that there might be a chance. That’s it.”

But Darlene, who was getting dressed, was so excited that her voice

trembled. “Great, thank you so much, Mr. Walpole. I will be there in twenty

minutes.”

Since Nathen wasn’t around, Darlene had to take Nigel to go through those

examinations herself.

Then Gustave responded, “Well, I’ll wait for you in the hospital. Drive safe.”

Then Gustave hung up the phone right away. Darlene thought, he must be

busy now.

Outside the door, Vivian gently closed the door and dialed Avery’s number

right away.

Avery was in a meeting, but he picked up the phone right away, just like he

did whenever Vivian called.

After leaving the meeting room, Avery said, slightly displeased with Vivian interrupting his meeting, “What’s the matter, Vivian?”

Vivian sounded hesitant. “Avery, I overheard Ms. Garcia’s call just now. I wonder whether I should tell you about it or not.”

Avery restrained himself and said, a bit impatient, “Vivian, just say what you have to say since I’m in the middle of something now.”

Hearing that, Vivian replied, no more hesitant, “As I walked past Ms. Garcia’s bedroom just now, I heard her talking to someone over the phone,

mentioning that she was in a hurry to go out because of some heart donor

and of something about Mr. Walpole. Avery, is Ms. Garcia alright? Can I ask?”

Avery replied, his voice gloomy, “She’s going out now? Put her on the

phone.”
