A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 174 Where Is Our Child?

Fear appeared in Darlene’s eyes. She hurriedly retreated and reached into her pocket, eager to get her phone.

Her breathing was heavy as if she felt a huge sense of oppression, which made her

unable to breathe.

Unable to find her phone, Avery handed the phone to her. “Are you looking for this?”

Darlene immediately reached out and got her phone back. In a flurry, she found Gustave’s number and dialed it.

But he was on the phone. Darlene just remembered that Gustave had just gone out and was having a phone call.

Avery looked at the name displayed on her phone. It should be a man’s name. When he thought of the coat next to the bed, Avery subconsciously felt displeased.

“Who are you calling? The floor is cold. It’s easy for you to catch a cold if you squat with your bare feet. Why don’t you go back to bed first? We can talk about it slowly.”

Darlene glared at him fiercely and stood up from the ground in a panic. “I have nothing to say to you. Get out!”

She got up in a hurry and stumbled.

Avery immediately reached out to support her. “Calm down. The doctor said that you are sick, which led to your emotional agitation. Don’t worry. I mean no harm to you. Why didn’t you tell me that you are here?”

Ever since he woke up, everyone had told him that Darlene had gone on a business trip.

But now, she was staying with him in the same hospital.

When Darlene shook off his hand, Avery looked at her lower abdomen. Then, he felt a little out of control and pressed his palm against her lower abdomen.
