A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 22 A Gentleman Should Never Hit A Woman

Darlene was so nervous that her body was shaking. She suddenly remembered that when Douglas appeared in the elevator, Gustave was polite. Douglas seemed to be Gustave’s relative.

She suddenly felt that she was in danger again. She thought that Gustave must have come to take revenge for Douglas. That was why he asked about her age and name.

She almost fell to her knees in despair. “I didn’t mean to stab him in the neck. He forced me. Really, he was the one who forced me.”

Gustave was stunned for a moment before he recalled the bloody wound on

Douglas’s neck just now.

He should have been injured by a sharp weapon, and it looked like the wound

was quite severe.

Gustave and the driver in front of him looked at each other. Gustave

suddenly felt that Darlene was a little interesting. He said, “I’m afraid that you are the only one in this city who dare to stab him in his neck. But I don’t care about him. What is your name?”

Darlene did not reply. She was still vigilant. Gustave laughed in a low voice. and said, “Never mind. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. I still

have something to do, so I will take you to the hospital right now. Is that

okay?”

Darlene trembled with pain. She tried hard to answer, “Thank… Thank you,

sir.”

Every time she said a word, there seemed to be a knife cutting through her throat. She was even worried that her throat would really be ruined and she

would become mute.

Gustave ignored her and leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

Those memories began to appear in his mind again. It had been so many years. This sense of familiarity was probably just an illusion.

That girl in his mind was such a clean little girl. She should not have become like the woman beside him now. Darlene wore sexy clothes and showed up in Twilight Paradise. He didn’t believe that the girl would do this.

There were so many ways to earn money. He did not believe that a woman who was not greedy for money would really go to such a place.
