A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 177 About to Die of Heart Failure

Avery’s heart suddenly sank. He did not even notice he had dropped his phone. He immediately walked to the sofa with a tense expression.

“Darlene?”

Standing in the huge living room, he got no response. He had only turned to the French window and talked on the phone for a few words, and she was gone.

He shouted a few more times, but there was no response from Darlene. Instead, a servant who had gone to rest quickly came when she heard his shouts.

Avery had a terrible expression on his face. As he searched around, including places behind the curtains, he asked, “Did you see her?”

The servant was stunned for a moment before she realized who he was talking about. She hurriedly walked down. “She… Wasn’t Mrs. Gallard downstairs with you just now? I didn’t hear any noise upstairs. I don’t think anyone has come up.

A few servants stood below the stairs and panicked.

Then Avery said impatiently, “Go and look for her. Why are you just standing there?”

The servants finally snapped back to reality and fanned out in panic to search for

Darlene.

Soon, some people said, “Mr. Gallard, she isn’t in the bedrooms downstairs.”

“Mr. Gallard, she’s also not in the kitchen or the backyard.”

Avery looked around and walked upstairs with a cold face. “Search upstairs and the

terrace.”

Chaotic footsteps went upstairs, and the noise receded.

Darlene came out of the cupboard in the kitchen and looked at the knife on top of the
