A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 72 You Must Tell Me

It was already after midnight, and the entire corridor was deadly silent.

Darlene clenched her fists with increasing force. The nails dug into her palms. When she saw the red light outside the emergency room go out, she immediately got up from the

chair.

The emergency room door opened, and a doctor came out. He took off his mask and said, “The patient is out of danger. Don’t worry, she will be out of the emergency room soon and transferred into a ward.

“But the patient is old. Someone must keep an eye on her all the time and her condition should be under observation.”

Darlene heaved a sigh of relief. Her tense body had suddenly relaxed and she was so

tired that she almost fell.

Avery quickly reached out to help her, but his hands were dodged by her.

Darlene reached out to support herself by the wall beside her and repeatedly thanked the doctor, “Thank you so much, doctor.”

Reina was quickly pushed out of the emergency room. Darlene rushed over and grabbed the skinny hand on the bed. Darlene’s eyes were very dry.

“Grandma, do you feel better?”

Reina’s hearing and sight were not very good. Rein stared at Darlene for a while before revealing a smile. “Aurora, you’re here.”

Darlene’s hands were trembling. She nodded and pushed the bed forward. “Yes, I’m here. Grandma, don’t worry. The doctor said that you’re OK.”

After settling down in the ward, the doctor checked again and said that there was no problem for the time being. He told Darlene to be careful and observe the patient’s

condition. Then, he went out.

Reina lay on the bed. Darlene leaned against the bed and squatted. Darlene covered Reina’s hands, trying to warm them.

“Grandma, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want a blanket? You just came out of the emergency room. Are you cold?”
