A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Nigel, We’ll Reunite Soon

The pain in her heart was getting heavier and heavier. Darlene slammed the door with a

pale face. The footsteps outside paused for a moment, but they went far away until they

disappeared.

Someone came and left. She was not sure if the footsteps were Avery’s. She only knew

that once the footsteps disappeared, her heart was filled with despair.

Darlene could no longer stand up. She turned around and struggled to climb back to the

coffee table. Just now, she was in a hurry to ask for help from the person outside the

door and placed her phone on the coffee table.

Such a short distance took her nearly ten minutes. She was crawling. The pain in her

heart came too abruptly. Her fingers were deeply pinched in the carpet. As she crawled,

stomach acid and blood gushed out uncontrollably from her mouth.

Just a little bit more. Darlene reached for her phone, but her vision was blurred and she

could not see the phone screen clearly.

Immense fear rushed over Darlene. Her breathing became heavy and she tried to wipe

her eyes, but other than the pain she felt and the sharp ringing in her ears, she could not

see anything.

What was worse was that she used to be deaf in her left ear. Usually, it would not affect

her hearing if someone else talked to her in her left ear.

But now, she could not hear anything except the pain and the inability to breathe.

Her hand searched the screen of her phone. She did not know if the phone had been

called or not. She could not hear or see. It was as if she had fallen into bottomless

darkness.

The smell of blood in her mouth was getting stronger and stronger. Darlene was clear

that it was too late to ask for help. There was no way to ask for help.

Other than despair, there was only great regret and unwillingness left.

When her perception was still relatively clear, she should not have chosen to call Avery.

Darlene was wrong. She was ridiculously wrong. Even if she forgot to call the emergency

call, even if she just casually dialed a strange number, gave the address, and asked a

stranger to help her, perhaps the hope was still a little higher.

All the doors and windows were locked. She was locked in the quiet bedroom that was slowly darkening. She felt that there was wind coming over, and her face was a little cold.

She raised her hand and touched it. Her hand was wet, and the coldness in her eyes spread to her face. It was bone-chilling.

Darlene was crying. She felt funny. Why did she cry?

Avery was such a ruthless man! Darlene had paid her heart and soul to serve him for three years, but in the end, she still died in his hands.

Her throat was in so much pain that she was gasping for breath. Just as she was about to faint, she suddenly remembered that there was still an urn on the bedside table.

It was originally in Scenery Garden, but Avery planned to stay here and had someone

bring the urn over.

Darlene could not see it, so she crawled toward the bed with her intuition. She seemed

to have climbed in the wrong direction, and her hand touched the wall.

She forced herself to continue climbing in another direction until her hand touched the

edge of the bed and let out a sigh of relief.

She touched the edge of the bed and crawled towards the bed. After climbing for an

unknown period of time, her hand finally touched the edge of the wooden urn.

Darlene struggled to take it down and held it tightly in her arms. Her body was soft and limp on the ground. For the first time, she felt that such a cold urn was also very warm.

The twelve-year-old boy was now living in such a small urn. He was still in her arms

like before.

Nigel, who never had a father and mother, was brought up by her.

She watched him grow up little by little as tall as her. Then, she watched with her own eyes as his body fell to the ground floor. His face was ruined beyond recognition.

She could no longer breathe. Her consciousness slowly dissipated. She held the urn tightly in her arms and said weakly, “Nigel, are you cold? Why do I feel so cold?

Twilight Paradise.

It was extremely noisy in the private room, and there was a young lady holding a microphone and singing a love song with a boss.

Avery felt that the voice was extremely ear-piercing, and it was even noisier than the chirping of cicadas in the summer afternoon.

Avery also didn’t know where the sudden irritability had come from. It was like the soles of his feet suddenly stepping on air, and he suddenly lost his bearing.

There was no light in the private room, and the light was dim. No one noticed the emotions on Avery’s face, and they continued to sing in high spirits.

Until Avery suddenly stood up and reached out to turn on the big light in the private

room.

The boss, who was still flirting with the little girl who was singing with him in the dark,

was suddenly blinded by the strong light. He turned around and was about to flare when

he met Avery’s extremely unhappy face.

The noise in the private room suddenly stopped, and the people who were laughing were Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

confused. No one knew where they had offended Avery.

Without saying a word, Avery stood up and left.

The boss revealed a deeply skeptical expression. “Am I not good at singing?”

Seth also stood up and half-jokingly said, “Your mind is not on singing. You should know whether you’re singing well or not!”

With Avery gone, the people in the private room quickly dispersed.

It was a little cold in the middle of autumn. When Avery left Twilight Paradise, the wind was strong outside. Cyrus was already waiting outside in his car.

Avery took out his phone to take a look. He did not know when his phone had been muted. It was probably because he had not been turning it on after going to the

company.

It was filled with five missed calls, all from Darlene.

His heart skipped a beat. As he got into the car, he called back, but no one answered.

He called back several times, but still, no one answered. The mechanical voice

notification sounded, and his heart was a mess.

Cyrus was driving in front. Avery threw his phone to the side and felt that his hand was

a little stiff. He crossed his fingers and asked, “Cyrus, did you go to Southwood Villa in

the afternoon?”

Cyrus looked over from the rearview mirror. “Mr. Gallard, I did not go to Southwood

Villa. I only went to Scenery Villa. Mary helped Ms. Sheridan move the things over.”

The uneasiness in Avery’s heart deepened. “Mary? Didn’t I tell her to stay in Southwood Villa in the afternoon? Why did she go to Scenery Garden?”

Cyrus answered, “She said that Ms. Sheridan was not feeling well. Mary chatted with her for a while and then stayed in the Scenery Garden. Mr. Gallard, did something

happen?”

Avery looked out the window. “It’s nothing. Hurry up and drive.”

Cyrus agreed and stepped on the accelerator to speed up.

Avery called again, and as expected, no one answered.

He almost comforted himself and said, “Since she’s not done with me, why did she call

me?”

Avery thought that Darlene should be fine. She hated him so much now, and if something really happened to her body, she would definitely not call him.

If she was really uncomfortable, she could call Gustave and Nathen.

Otherwise, even if she called 120, she would not give in and call him.

Thinking of this, Avery felt slightly relieved.

The car quickly stopped at Southwood Villa. Avery immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car. He directly entered the door and went upstairs.

The bedroom door was locked from the outside just like before he left.

He opened the door, and a strange smell came from the door. It smelled rusty, and it

was a little cold.

Avery touched the switch and said, “Why don’t you turn on the light? Why are you

sleeping so early?”
