Darlene stood up from the sofa and rushed over. “What did you say? Who was

in a car accident?”

Avery also didn’t expect that such a thing would happen. Just now, the hospital called and said that Nigel was in a bad state.

He took Darlene out and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Go and see what happened. Your brother has been sent to the emergency room. The doctor will take care of him. There won’t be any problems.”

Cyrus was already waiting outside. Darlene sat in the back seat and panicked. “How could there be a car accident? Nigel is not a naughty kid. He is not in good health and has always stayed in the hospital. It is impossible for him to

run out.”

Avery looked at her and said the truth, “Before your brother left the hospital, he told the nurse that he received a call from your phone. The person on the phone said that you collapsed, so he took a taxi to the hospital. The accident happened on the way.”

Darlene was about to lose control of her emotions, and Avery immediately comforted her, “It has already happened. Calm down. Vivian said your phone was damaged and couldn’t work, so she sent it to be repaired.

“I will ask the repair store why your phone gave a call. There may be some

misunderstanding.”

Darlene clenched her fists, her eyes red. She sneered, “Misunderstanding? Avery, listen, if something bad happened to my younger brother, I swear I would kill your Vivian even if I might risk my life!”

Avery frowned. “What the hell are you talking about?”

He naturally could not believe that it was Vivian who did it. However, he

thought that Darlene might lose her mind, so he did not say anything.

When they arrived at the hospital, Nigel was still in the emergency room.

Gustave who somehow received the news was sitting outside the emergency

room.

When he saw Darlene, he immediately got up. “Where did you go? I called you for a whole day but no one answered. We finally found the matched heart, and you should keep an eye on your brother. How can you let him go

out at this time?”

He was probably a little unhappy. He had spent a lot of effort in the past half

month to get a donated heart for Nigel.

He had not always been that helpful. He just thought that Darlene was

similar to that person, so he reached out his hand.

However, he did not expect that after he got the heart, Darlene, who seemed

to have disappeared from the world, would not answer his phone and not

take care of her own brother.

Darlene got stunned. She stared at Gustave for a few seconds before asking him, “What did you say?”

Avery did not expect that he would meet Gustave here, and Gustave would

say it out.

Avery felt very guilty and wanted to interrupt Darlene and Gustave’s

conversation. “Mr. Walpole, this is between my wife and me. You don’t have

to worry about it.”

Darlene stared at Gustave without blinking. “Mr. Walpole, what? What do you mean you found the matched heart?”

Gustave felt a little strange. “I called you in the morning and said we were

close to getting a matched one. It has been confirmed in the afternoon. I

couldn’t contact you, so I told the hospital to tell Mr. Gallard.”

He paused for a moment and suddenly understood that the problem might

be Avery.

Gustave found it hard to believe. He looked at Avery. “Mr. Gallard. They are

your wife and brother–in–law. You won’t be against them, right?”

Avery was at a loss for words. When he met Darlene’s furious gaze,

subconsciously avoided it.

he even

He tried to appease Darlene. “It’s not a good thing to transplant the heart.

Mr. Dawson said that Nigel could be cured without transplantation…”

With a clear sound, he got a slap on his face.

Darlene did not say anything. After she slapped him, her hand trembled.

Avery didn’t look good. He felt guilty and wanted to explain, “Things are not

that simple. Listen…”

Darlene clenched her fists, raised her hand, and ruthlessly slapped the other

side of his face.

Avery ran out of patience. His face darkened. He reached up to grab Darlene’s wrist. “Enough. Stop.”

Darlene was so angry that she trembled all over. “That is my younger brother! A matched heart means he can finally live healthily like normal This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

people. Avery, how dare you! You’re like a murderer!”

Gustave stood to the side and didn’t get involved.

When they were almost done arguing, he reminded them, “Well, things have already happened. Let’s see if Nigel can recover faster and catch up with the time of the heart transplant. The donator might be able to hold on for a few

more days.”

Darlene finally regained some of her senses and nodded at a loss. “Right. The heart transplant is the most important thing. Maybe there is still time.”

Gustave waved his hand and gestured for his assistant to come over.

“Since I have helped Nigel with the heart transplant, and now that he happened to be in a car accident, I can’t stand by. I gave him a business card in the morning, and after he got into a car accident, the police contacted me

immediately.”

He handed some photos and files to Darlene and Avery. “Before Nigel left the hospital, he just received a call from Ms. Garcia’s phone. This car accident might be planned by someone.”

Avery was not willing to accept Gustave’s things, so Darlene took them.

Gustave continued, “It might be rude to ask … but I heard that despite your wife, you’re in love with someone, called … Vivian?”

Avery looked upset. “Mr. Walpole, it’s not your business.”

Gustave chuckled, “I know, and I’m not interested in your private affairs.

“I just asked the police and my assistant to gather some evidence. The photos captured by the surveillance cameras on the road show that the driver looks similar to a female clerk from the repair shop which fixes Ms. Garcia’s mobile phone.”

Gustave took out a piece of paper from the files in Darlene’s hands and handed it to Avery. “It is not difficult to temporarily erase or fake personal

information, and it’s hard to investigate it.

“But I thought of a way, and it worked. That person happens to be surnamed

Sheridan as well. She is Vivian’s aunt.”

Avery obviously wanted to refute it immediately. Gustave smiled and cut him off. “I know. The evidence is not solid. I’ll give you another one. This transfer record says Vivian has transferred 80 thousand dollars to her aunt.”

Avery’s face finally darkened.

Gustave looked at him with interest. “This is my first time meddling in other people’s business. It seems a little interesting. I’m very curious about what decision you will make.”
