Chapter 33 Gustave Is Curious About Darlene

The road was covered in mud after the rain. Darlene was pushed out by Avery and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

On the contrary, Avery was dressed decently in a suit and sat indifferently in the car as he sized up Darlene, who was clutching the car door tightly.

Originally, he wanted to trust her and treat her better in the future.

However, his concession only made her go further.

She pretended to be depressed, let herself be released as she wished, and got a suitable heart for her younger brother.

However, she was not satisfied with all of this. She sent Nigel away, pushed Vivian down the stairs, and then escaped with the help of Nathen.

A person like her was not worthy of his sympathy.

When Avery thought of this, his face became colder. Then he looked at several men behind Darlene.

Those men stepped forward and violently pulled away Darlene’s hands when she was holding onto the car door. With a smile, they closed the car door for

Avery.

Avery did not spare her another glance as he stepped on the accelerator and

drove off.

These men dragged Darlene in. One of them said, “Why don’t we just throw her directly into the backyard? Anyway, Mr. Gallard did not send her here to

see a doctor.”

Another responded, “Okay. There are a lot of mental patients walking in the

backyard. Let her play with those crazy people.”

They kept talking, ignoring Darlene’s resistance and fear and pulled her back into the yard.

Darlene was anxious. She struggled and cried for help. The person who was dragging her became impatient and took a towel to cover her mouth.

At that time, a girl in a nurse’s uniform ran over quickly. When seeing Darlene, she frowned and said, “Darlene? What are you doing here?”

Then she looked at the people who were dragging Darlene. “Why are you dragging her like this? You’re in a hospital now. Even if she is a patient, you have no right to drag her by force. And more importantly, she got no illness!”

A man, who was dragging Darlene, looked at the girl, who was about the same age as Darlene, saying coldly, “Girl, mind your own business.”

Aleena Spence did not fear at all. She stepped forward and grabbed Darlene’s hand, saying, “You’re not allowed to come here. The mental hospital has prohibited outsiders from going to the backyard. If

something happens after you take her there, will you bear the responsibility? Or can you kill people without taking any responsibility?”

Darlene’s face turned pale, and she struggled to say, “Aleena, it’s Avery. You can’t compete with him, so don’t get yourself involved in it.”

Aleena cursed, “It’s that jerk again? After that bitch came back, he harmed you so many times. What an asshole!

“If you dare to take her away, I won’t let go of you. Don’t take another step forward, or I will stab myself with the knife and shout that you are molesting and killing me!”

When Aleena finished her words, she grabbed the knife in her hand and put

it on her neck.

She was a nurse here to take care of a patient. The patient was not sober, so she took out the knife for fear that the patient would use the knife to do something dangerous.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy.

Those men were in a dilemma and could not guess Aleena’s background. They could only explain gently, “We are not making things difficult for your

friend.

“But she offended someone powerful. That person specially instructed us to

do it.”

Aleena turned the knife, pointed it at those men, and swept it horizontally. “You are just bullying her. Let go of her!”

Those men hesitated and did not let go. Aleena screamed, “Help! Help!

Everyone, come and see! In public, they’re trying to rape a girl!

“I can’t believe that they are doing such a despicable thing to a girl in

modern society! And they are even doing it in the mental hospital! Everyone,

please come and help!”

As she shouted, the windows of the inpatient building opened one after

another, and the patients poked their heads out.

People sitting under the courtyard tree and on the stone bench were looking

over and discussing.

Even the mentally deranged patients pointed at this side and sneered, “Hey, they’re bullying a girl. What a shame.”

The faces of several men darkened. They frowned and wanted to stop Aleena

from shouting again, but Aleena immediately pointed her knife at them.

“Don’t come over to me! There are so many people watching us. Everyone is a witness. We two girls have no enmity with you, but you’re bullying us. Do

you think that there are no people who have a sense of justice in this mental

hospital? Do you think that no one will help us?”

When some people, who were originally watching the show, heard Aleena’s

words, they immediately felt a sense of justice to protect the two girls.

In addition, Darlene and Aleena were both good–looking, and some men came forward to defend them. “Hey, isn’t it inappropriate to drag a girl like

this?”

When one person stepped forward, more people gathered quickly. “Hurry up

and let go of her. Even if she is mentally ill, you can’t treat her like this!”

The several men holding Darlene could not bear it anymore. Now that they

were surrounded by so many people, they couldn’t even call Avery and ask

him what to do. They could only release their hands with a guilty conscience.

With so many people around, they couldn’t do anything to Darlene.

Therefore, they could only leave first.

Darlene thanked Aleena, and the people surrounding them soon left.

Not far behind, Gustave was dressed in casual clothes, standing under a tree.

He was holding a fruit basket in his hand and looking over with interest.

He knew Aleena. Aleena was a nurse he hired to take care of his mother

recently.

As for the other one beside her, she seemed to be the woman he saved at the

nightclub.

Judging from the situation, Gustave thought that Aleena did not seem to be just fighting for injustice. Instead, they should be familiar with each other. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Aleena supported Darlene as they walked inside. “I noticed your pale face just now. Are you feeling uncomfortable? I have a small bedroom here. I will

take you to rest now.”

Darlene was currently suffering from depression and was afraid of the

crowd. Just now, when she saw so many people around, her mind went

blank.

Moreover, considering the time, she couldn’t endure the heart disease for a longer time.

It had been a long time since Darlene was protected like this last time. She

felt grateful. “Aleena, thank you so much. But I don’t know if Avery will

target you.”

Aleena replied casually, “It doesn’t matter. My situation is different from yours. I don’t have a younger brother or a grandmother. Other than my life, I

have nothing, so I am not afraid of him. Moreover, you were the one who

protected me in the orphanage.”

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind. “Have you been in an

orphanage before?”

Darlene was shocked by the sudden voice. When she turned around, she saw

Gustave following behind them. At that moment, his eyes were full of inquiry

as he stared at Darlene.

“Mr. Walpole.” Aleena greeted him, and introduced him to Darlene, “This is my employer. I am taking care of Mr. Walpole’s mother.”

Darlene thought that Gustave had probably forgotten about what happened

at the nightclub that day.

Therefore, she pretended not to know him and greeted him, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Walpole.”

Gustave smiled, “We’ve met before in Twilight Paradise. Ms. Garcia, did you forget it? And I asked you that day if you had been to the orphanage, and you

denied it.”
