A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 208 A Blo*dy Car Accident

Gustave sensed something wrong with Darlene and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Darlene shook her head and calmed down. “I’m fine.”

She suddenly felt that she couldn’t breathe. This felt strange but very familiar.

Darlene remembered the day when her grandmother had an accident. She also had this feeling before the accident.

She was a little overwhelmed, unable to breathe, and felt flustered.

Gustave raised his wrist to look at the time. “It’s not even seven in the morning. You woke up too early today. I asked Darnell to send you back for breakfast and then have a good sleep. I won’t go back first.”

Because of that strange feeling, Darlene immediately asked, “Where are you going?”

Gustave was stunned for a moment. It was not the first time that Darlene had stayed with him, but it was the first time that she asked about his whereabouts.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Darlene’s face. She said unnaturally, “I was just asking casually. You’ll go to work, right?

“Why don’t I go to Dr. Elicott and copy the surveillance footage from the day my grandmother had an accident? I will ask Mr. Tyrell later.”

When he thought that Avery was also in the hospital, Gustave felt uneasy, “No need. You can go back first. Just ask Dr. Elicott to send you the footage later.

“I will come back before noon. Then I will find a professional lawyer. I will think of a way to find out where to start and find other evidence.”

While they were talking, the elevator stopped at the bottom floor, and the door opened.

The other elevator next to them also opened at almost the same time. A woman wearing a mask walked out. Darlene casually glanced at her, but the person lowered her head a little and walked to the other side of the underground garage.

Darlene recalled that glance just now and felt that person looked very familiar.

When she wanted to look again, Darlene could only stare after that person, who turned to the side and walked to the back of a row of parked cars. She then disappeared.
