A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 183

Chapter 183 A Complete Loss

When Avery left the bedroom early in the morning, Darlene got off the bed

softly.

She knew that Aleena had come and naturally knew about the show that

Gustave had put on.

Last night, she had put on a good show in front of Avery. First, she cried in the backyard of Gustave’s villa. Then, she was brought by Avery to Southwood Villa and pretended to commit suicide.

As the show went on, even she almost took it seriously. After all, the show was fake, but there were some emotions in her words that were true.

For example, the pain of accusing Avery of causing her child to die and telling him that she had a terminal illness.

No matter what the entire show was like and how well she acted, the result was finally achieved.

She sat in front of the floor–to–ceiling window and stared at a text message on her phone. It was from a strange number with two simple words: “Don’t

worry.”

When that message came in, Darlene was completely relieved.

Gustave said that she could be at ease, which meant that she could be completely at ease. From the beginning to the end, her grandmother and younger brother were controlled by Avery. From now on, they could finally

live a peaceful life.

This matter was settled. Darlene felt that even if she were to die now, she

would no longer have anything to worry about.

Now, she was the only one who was trapped in Avery’s place. She was not even

afraid of dying. She would no longer have any burdens in the future.

The door behind her suddenly opened. Just listening to the hurried footsteps approaching, one could imagine the anger of the comer.

Darlene could know who had come in without turning back. Although this message was no longer important, she still immediately clicked on the message, intending to delete it.

Before she could delete it, the phone in her hand had already been snatched away by the man who came from behind.

Ever since Avery lost his memory, this was probably the first time he had acted so rudely to Darlene.

When Darlene’s cell phone was snatched away by him, she quickly activated the screen lock. The cell phone was locked and prompted: “Please input your fingerprint.”

Avery’s face was dark. He took the cell phone and walked in front of Darlene. He directly reached out and grabbed one of her hands, pressing her finger on

the phone screen.

Darlene was disgusted and wanted to pull her hand back. “Let go! Even if we have not divorced, it is my privacy. You are not qualified to check my phone.”

Avery did not say a word, and he looked very furious. He insisted on grabbing Darlene’s finger and unlocked her phone.

Then, he quickly found the text message that Darlene had just read.

It was just a number without a note, and there were only two words in the message. It seemed to mean nothing or everything.

Why was he worried that Darlene probably did not know about it and would find it hard to accept if she knew that her grandmother and brother were missing?

He clenched the phone in his hand tightly. When he looked at Darlene, his eyes

were filled with anger.

Darlene knew what he wanted to ask and what he wanted to know, but she just smiled. Since he found it, she relaxed and leaned back on the sofa.

“What? Is there a problem? Where did you get angry and have nowhere to vent your anger? You want to vent your anger on me, right? To be honest, I am

quite curious. Do people like you know anything other than bullying the weak?”

At this moment, Avery clearly realized that Darlene really did not have any feelings for him.

Last night, she cried bitterly in front of him. She also wanted to commit suicide. She accused him of killing her child. She said that she had a terminal illness. It could be said that she was as pitiful as she could be.

He also thought about it all night. Did he really force her too hard?

But in the end, he was fooled by her with another man. Her so–called sadness

and despair were all fake.

His face was tense. He wanted to ask Darlene something but found that he was

so angry that he did not know where to start.

The truth was right in front of his eyes. Speaking of which, what else was there

to ask?

If not for Darlene informing Nigel in advance, how could he leave easily with another man? He wasn’t stupid at all.

Avery’s face was extremely tense. Compared to him who was completely unable to remain calm, at this moment, Darlene had a look of anticipation. She was extremely calm. When she looked at Avery, it was as if she was looking at a clown.

Avery dialed the number that had sent the message, and a mechanical voice notification directly came: “The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable…”

Avery sneered and threw her phone on the coffee table beside her. “He’s very thoughtful. After sending the message, his card would be wasted, right? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Darlene, what’s so good about that man? You trust him so much. Aren’t you afraid that he will take your brother and grandmother away and attack them?”

Darlene was stunned for a moment, but there was still a smile in her eyes that was neither faint nor broad. “What did you say? What do you mean by taking my grandmother and brother away?”

Avery took a screenshot of the text message and sent it to his phone, wanting Cyrus to investigate this number later.

However, it was most likely a new number, and now it had been directly destroyed, so there was probably no way to find out anything.

Darlene looked at his series of actions with a baffled expression. She looked very innocent, “It’s clear that someone sent the wrong message. I didn’t even save the number and don’t know it. What’s the use of the screenshot?”

Avery was so angry that he wanted to smash something. If she hadn’t teamed up with others, how could she be so calm when she found out that her grandmother and brother had disappeared?

He clenched his fists and pressed them on both sides of the sofa. He leaned over and approached Darlene, who was sitting on the sofa. “Don’t play dumb. You know very well. What is so good about that man? Where am I worse than

him?

“Darlene, don’t forget that we have always been a legitimate couple. For such a long time, have you been so openly cuckolding me?”

Darlene seemed to understand. “You mean that you lost my grandmother and younger brother, and now you want to blame me for that.

“Avery, if that’s the case, then I will sue you. Because of my illness, you got custody of my grandmother and younger brother. This was clearly stated.”

She paused slightly and looked at Avery’s stiff expression for a moment. She continued, “I want to sue you for harming my grandmother and younger brother and making them missing intentionally. It is a great blow to me.

“I demand that the court demand you compensate me for all my mental damage and my grandmother and younger brother’s personal losses. As a matter of course, I will sue you for a divorce.
