A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 173 Darlene Hides in the Bathroom

It was already the latter half of the night. Darlene had just finished her drip and had already fallen asleep on the bed.

Gustave was resting on the side of the bed when his phone suddenly rang. It must not be something good if he received a call in the middle of the night..

Gustave got up and picked up his phone. He looked at the caller ID on the screen and didn’t look good.

The ward was quiet. The ringtone broke the silence in the ward. Darlene also woke up. She looked at Gustave and got out of bed with a dark face, asking, “Are you alright?”

Gustave took his phone and walked out. “I’m fine. Continue to sleep. I’ll come in after I

answer the call.”

He left the ward and closed the door.

Darlene was no longer sleepy, and she always felt that something might happen.

Speaking of which, during this period of time, Gustave had never left her.

After Ricky was elected as the temporary president of the Walpole Group, Gustave did not go to the company and stayed with Darlene all day long.

Cassius originally wanted to use this excuse to force Gustave back, but the result now undoubtedly made Cassius very dissatisfied.

Darlene was afraid that the Walpole Group would do something.

Darlene lay on the bed, tossing and turning. The more she thought about it, the more

uneasy she felt.

Gustave had been out of the ward for long. She stared at the ceiling, and Leana’s voice
