A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 57 Vivian Kneels and Begs

Get Bogtes

Avery had a long nightmare. In the dream were Darlene’s heart–wrenching cries and the baby’s shrill wails.

Those sounds all turned into horrible nightmares, making it hard for Avery to breathe.

He wanted to wake up but could not no matter what.

In the cold and long corridor of the hospital, Avery stood in front of the window, while Darlene stood on the other side of the corridor, holding a baby that was less than a month old in her arms. She walked towards him step by step.

Her body was covered in blood, and the baby in her arms was also bloody.

Avery wanted to retreat. Behind him was the windowsill, and there was no place for him

to retreat.

He watched her come closer and cry with empty eyes. “I will divorce you and let you marry Vivian. Can you let me take this child with me?

“Avery, you have no right to kill my child. I have served you for three years. I don’t owe you anything. What right do you have?”

“I beg you. If this child is gone, I will never be able to have another child…”

Avery breathed heavily as he reached out to pick up the child. “Darlene, we will keep this child. He is ours. We will keep him.”

Darlene walked to his side, crying and laughing.

Her hands reached out to him, and without waiting for him to take the baby, she suddenly put the baby out the window.

Avery turned around in horror, wanting to grab him. “Don’t throw him away!”

The baby fell, and Avery desperately tried to grab him. The cold night wind blew on

Avery’s face, and he touched nothing.

Darlene looked at him and smiled, “You didn’t want him. You killed your child with

your own hands.”

Avery turned around and ran downstairs like crazy. “Impossible! It wasn’t me. I’ll get

him back now.”

He stumbled to the elevator, and then with a bang behind him, he suddenly turned around. Darlene’s shoes were on the windowsill, but she was gone.

Avery’s eyes were red as he rushed over. “Darlene, Darlene, don’t jump!”

There was no one but him in the large hospital.

He looked down from the window, and there was only a pool of scarlet left in his sight.

In his palms, there was nothing left.

As if a pair of hands had grabbed his throat, he was completely unable to breathe and suddenly woke up.

The lights in the sickroom were still on, the room was brightly lit, and the bed was empty. Darlene was gone.

Avery breathed heavily, and his mind was blank. He got up in a panic and hurried out.

It was just a dream. How did she really disappear?

His forehead was covered in sweat, and he did not know when it had appeared. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

After he rushed out of the ward, he looked over and saw Darlene at the window at the end of the corridor.

Beside her were Andrew and Vivian.

Avery let out a sigh of relief. He quickened his pace and walked over.

Vivian had yet to dry her tears, and it seemed she had complained to Andrew.

When Vivian saw Avery come over, she immediately knelt in front of him with a thump.

“Avery, listen to me. I haven’t done anything to hurt you or Ms. Garcia.‘

Avery ignored her and walked past her to Darlene. He held Darlene’s hand and pulled

her to his side.

He could not bear to see Darlene standing in front of the window. His mind was still filled with the nightmare where Darlene had just jumped out the window.

When Avery brought Darlene over, he looked at Andrew. “Grandfather.”

Andrew looked displeased. “You still remember me? Vivian, get up. I will help you. Your parents are gone. Some people are determined to make things difficult for you. I know that.”

Vivian defended Avery with an anxious expression. “Mr. Gallard, don’t say that. Avery just misunderstood me. I can explain it to him myself.”

As she spoke, she anxiously took out a photo from her bag and handed it to Avery. “I saw the documents pouch you received, Avery, but you really misunderstood.

“Take a look at this photo at the airport first. The backs of these two people do resemble mine and Mr. Bullock’s, but the woman in the photo is wearing a sleeveless shirt. There are no scars on her left shoulder.

“Avery, you know best that because of that big fire, the scar left on my left shoulder cannot be completely covered even with makeup.”

Avery’s cold expression finally changed as he looked at the photo.

The back and shoulders of the woman in the photo were clean, and there were indeed no

scars.

Vivian pulled her dress to expose her shoulder. “Avery, have you forgotten? There has always been an injury behind my shoulder. I am really not the person in the photo. I will

show it to you now.”

There were many people coming and going in the corridor. Andrew realized Vivian was going to take off her clothes in public and stopped her in a low voice, “Vivian, don’t humiliate yourself. He is not blind. He can see clearly whether the person in the photo is

you or not.”

When Avery first received the documents pouch, he did not pay attention to it carefully.

Besides the two people’s backs, their profiles could also be seen. They did look like Jax

and Vivian.

But now, Avery only wanted to spend his life with Darlene and did not intend to have anything to do with Vivian.

The look in Avery’s eyes did not change much. “I will get someone to find out the truth. Anyway, Darlene and I are married, and it’s over between you and me. You don’t have to explain these things in a hurry. My grandfather is old, and there is no need to call him

over.‘

Avery hated complaining. They were all adults, and it was really boring to call their elders to cry about their grievances.

Vivian’s tears streamed down again. “Avery, I know this will make you unhappy, but I really have no choice. You wouldn’t let me see you. I just want an opportunity to explain.”

Avery did not have a good impression of Vivian.

Too many things were related to her. The more he thought about it now, the more he

felt she could not really be so innocent.

The words Roselyn had said back then made him more convinced. Roselyn had been a

servant of the Gallard family for decades, so she should not have made up those things.

As for Gustave, even if he had feelings for Darlene, Avery knew he would not make

things up to frame a woman.

Andrew angrily said, “You sound like you are doing the right thing, but aren’t you bewitched by Darlene to allow others to slander Vivian?”

Avery said coldly. “I will find out the truth. Grandfather, take care of yourself. You shouldn’t worry too much about these things.”

Andrew snapped angrily, “Vivian saved your life. When her parents were still alive, they

helped our family.

“I definitely can’t watch her get bullied for no reason. If you distrust her for no reason and just want to be with that woman, hand over your management rights and shares of the Gallard Group now!
