A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 224 I'll Take You Home

Darlene tried her best to sit up from the ground. She was trembling. She moved backward until her back was against the wall by the door.

Darlene's face was full of fear, and her body became numb. She could hardly feel the pain in her heart.

Darlene shook her head. The cold sweat soaked her back. "My heart donor is a cancer patient. Dr. Elicott was just here to keep me company because I was having a heart transplant. You must've been mistaken..."

Leana interrupted her, "He said that you didn't know it. He asked me to keep it from you and not to blame you.

"But Ms. Garcia, you already know that my brother gave his heart to you. He has died for you. Ms. Garcia, tell me. How can I not resent you? How can I not tell you the truth?"

Large beads of sweat began to drip down Darlene's forehead. She had a booming sensation in her ears, and she could hear her heartbeats clearly.

The more resistant she was, the clearer the heartbeats became.

The sound was extremely terrifying. It was like a sharp voice asking her, "Darlene, you were dying. The person who should die was you. Why did you take someone else's life?

"Darlene, his heart is in your chest. You can feel it day and night.

"In the dead of night, when it is quiet, you can hear it beating clearly. How can you take a healthy person's life and continue to live in peace?

"Darlene, Nathen didn't do anything wrong. Your sufferings have nothing to do with him. How can you take his life?"

Darlene began to tremble. She struggled to raise her hands and cover her ears tightly, trying to block the sound in her ears.
