A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 131 One Cut

Gustave looked at Darlene. Even though she did not say anything, he felt as though he had heard something.

He looked at her and asked before he knew why, “What did you say?”

The elevator doors in front of them had already opened. Avery urged with a sullen face, “Mr. Walpole, if you aren’t getting in, please move aside.”

Gustave looked at Darlene, who was looking at him.

He unconsciously took a step to the side and let them inside the elevator. He had never seen Darlene like this before. Her appearance was even a bit shocking.

The marks on her neck were very obvious. Gustave had a vague guess about what had happened to her.

He was here for something. However, for some reason, he followed them into the elevator and even forgot to press the button. He stood beside them and asked, “What’s wrong with Ms. Garcia?”

Avery’s eyes were scarlet. After a long time, Gustave could no longer control the strange feelings and asked, “Who did this?”

Avery immediately glared at Gustave, his eyes filled with fury. Avery then said in an utterly cold and deep voice, “Who else but Douglas? Stop playing dumb here.”

“Douglas,” Gustave said in a much softer voice, and he was almost muttering to

himself.

He thought, no wonder Shannon suddenly called me in the middle of the night. She told me that Douglas was seriously injured and was in a critical situation. She wanted me to come over and take a look.

On the way here, I was still puzzled. It’s the middle of the night, and Douglas never drives himself. How could he be seriously injured?

Gustave slowly clenched his fists, and his eyes darkened.

When the elevator doors opened, since Gustave did not press the button, the elevator

reached the floor that Avery was headed to.

Avery carried Darlene to the ward, and Seth quickly rushed over. When Seth saw Darlene like this, he gasped and said, “This is?”

Avery placed Darlene on the bed and sat down by the bed. “Check her and see if she has any other injuries apart from skin injuries. She has been having great mood swings, and maybe she needs another check–up about her heart…”
