A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 133 Darlene Is Dying

Nigel had never begged Avery like this before. He was still young, and for a very long time, he had no idea how much Darlene had suffered because of Avery.

Later, he found out gradually, but because he hated Avery’s guts, he never begged Avery.

Yet Nigel was twelve years old anyway, and he had started to understand a lot of things that he was supposed to understand.

He had no choice but to accept the fact. If Avery didn’t want to leave them alone, chances were, Darlene would never be able to get away from Avery even till the day she

died.

Avery ignored Nigel’s words. He had no way to respond to Nigel’s words anyway. Leaving them alone was something he couldn’t do, and he even found it hard to look into Nigel’s eyes.

Avery looked at Darlene, who cowered into the corner, shivering. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, “Darlene, I was careless, and I should be blamed for what happened today. But relax. Douglas has already paid the price. It’s almost midnight now, so let’s go back to the ward to get some rest, OK?”

Darlene still did not speak. She couldn’t hear out of her left ear, and now her right ear was ringing because of her great mood swings.

She had almost lost hearing in both ears, and she could no longer hear what Avery was saying. She put her hands around herself, trembled, and stared at him with her dark

eyes.

Under her gaze like that, Avery even subconsciously wanted to flee.

They were in a stalemate just like that. As time passed slowly, Darlene kept curling up

No one could come near her, and no one could communicate with her.
