A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 52 Come to Me

The mall was crowded and noisy.

Darlene looked over, and Avery seemed to feel her gaze at once. He looked

sideways into hers.

He sat in his wheelchair and looked haggard, making her feel that he was

His eyes, which had always been cold and aloof, now looked exhausted. The

and stumbled into the crowd.

Avery felt great heartache. He quickly pushed his wheelchair to chase after her. “Darlene… Darlene! Hear me out!”

The woman in front of him seemed to hear nothing. She ran away from him as if he were some kind of fierce beast. She was so flustered while trying to stay away from him that she kept bumping into others along the way.
