A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 8 He Splashes Boiling Water On Her

The tea splashed on Vivian and then flowed to the ground.

Vivian had a panicked expression as she slipped and fell.

The cup in her hand naturally rolled to the ground. Vivian covered her lower abdomen and groaned in pain, “It hurts. It hurts. My child…”

Avery hurried over. Darlene had already known what would happen next.

But, Darlene still hoped that Avery would see the cup in Vivian’s hand, and could guess that the tea was not spilled by Darlene.

Therefore, Darlene said, “I did not splash the tea. You also saw it. The cup is in her hand, not in my hand.”

Vivian leaned against Avery’s chest with an expression of pain. It seemed that she was unable to stand up. Vivian cried in a grievance, “Ms. Garcia, I know that you don’t like me, but you can say it out. You know that I am pregnant, so why did you pour hot tea on me? I was anxious to stop you, so I snatched the cup.”

As Vivian spoke, she looked at Avery with guilt. “I’m sorry, Avery. I shouldn’t care about this child. After all, it is not your child. But it is mine. I am really…

really…”

Vivian stopped speaking halfway and kept crying.

Avery was angry. He carried Vivian up the stairs. “Go upstairs and rest first. I’ll let the doctor take a look at you.”

Vivian leaned into Avery’s embrace and looked at Darlene with a pleased expression. However, she pretend to be weak and said, “Avery, don’t blame Ms. Garcia. After all, vou and she are already husband and wife…”

Avery did not say a word.

Darlene stood downstairs, and she felt that something wrong would happen. She knew that Avery would not let her go.

Darlene had just had a miscarriage operation and was suffering from cardiac failure. She could not stand Darlene’s torment.

Darlene suddenly felt afraid and did not know what was waiting for her. Darlene turned around and wanted to go outside.

The nanny immediately came over to stop Darlene. “Ms. Garcia, please wait here. Mr. Gallard seems to have something to tell you.”

Darlene’s face was a little pale. She looked at the nanny and noticed the

hostility in her eyes.

Darlene was still wondering why this new nanny was so hostile towards her when Avery came downstairs.
