A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 35 What Exactly Do You Hide From Me?

Gustave was not in a hurry to leave and greeted Avery with a normal

expression, “Mr. Gallard, what a coincidence to meet you here.”

Avery restrained his anger and looked at the ward behind Gustave. “Mr.

Walpole, are you here to visit your mother?”

Gustave replied, “Yes, I just happen to be free today. Let me say something more. Ms. Garcia looks quite normal. Is

there a need for you to send her to this mental hospital?”

If a normal person stayed in a mental hospital and stayed with a group of people with mental illnesses every day,

he or she would probably be forced to have some problems.

you.

This is my

Avery looked displeased. “Perhaps I should introduce her to

wife, not Ms. Garcia. I sent my wife here to treat her illness. It seems that it

has nothing to do with you.”

Gustave laughed softly. “Is that so? It is said that you are swift and decisive

in the business world and that you are not a lenient man. Now it seems that

you are not lenient to your wife.”

The fake smile on Avery’s face was gone. “Mr. Walpole, you have been too

nosy today. What I do to my wife is a matter between my wife and me.”

Gustave’s smiling eyes fell on Darlene. “Do you need any help? I don’t like to meddle in other people’s business, but

when I’m in a good mood, I can help.”

Avery’s face was completely black. Gustave’s words were obviously

provocative, and he was going to stand up for Darlene.

If Avery’s memory worked, Darlene and Gustave had only met twice.

The last time was in Twilight Paradise, and then the second time was in this

hospital.

Darlene would not implicate Gustave. She shook her head, “No, thank you,

Mr. Walpole.”

Gustave did not say much and nodded with a smile, “All right, excuse me.”

He turned around and returned to the ward.

The anger on Avery’s face almost poured out. He walked over with a sullen face and dragged Darlene to the end of

the corridor.

On the way back, Avery received a call saying that Darlene had been taken away by Gustave.

The nurse who had helped Darlene arrange the ward saw Darlene massaging

the legs of Gustave’s mother.

Avery had always felt that it was very humiliating for him to be paralyzed for that year. Now that everything was

back on track, he was never willing to

mention those things to others.

Even Darlene, who had massaged him for a year, was not allowed to tell

others that she knew how to massage. Avery didn’t allow Darlene to help

others in the same way.

But now, in order to please Gustave, Darlene had completely ignored what he

had said.

Thinking of this, Avery felt even more furious. He pulled Darlene to the end

of the corridor and pressed her back against the wall by the window.

“Even a mental hospital can’t stop you from seducing men. Darlene, don’t tell me that Gustave just came to visit his

mother today because of you.”

Darlene looked at Avery and felt that he looked like a madman. “You really think highly of me. You mean to say that

I called Mr. Walpole over, right?”

The more Avery looked at her, the more he felt annoyed. “Mr. Walpole? Darlene, you have only met twice, right?

Why are you so intimate with him?”

Darlene wondered if Avery really had a problem with his brain. What exactly did the words “Mr. Walpole” have to do

with the word “intimate“?

However, she knew that it wouldn’t work for this furious guy no matter what she said. As for the explanation, it was

no different from adding fuel to the

fire.

She did not want to speak anymore. She knew that she could not leave either,

so she simply allowed him to press on her shoulder and mock her.

Avery mocked, “Didn’t you just want to seduce Gustave? You deliberately

pretended to be pitiful in front of him again and again, showing off your so- called abilities in front of him. Darlene,

your dirty thoughts are all written on

your face.”

Darlene did not reply a single word as she watched his thin lips open and

close, only take it bird’s chatter.

Avery’s voice continued. “A woman like you…”

Every time he mocked her, he would repeat those words back and forth.

Darlene was tired of listening to them, let alone how many emotions she

had.

She counted the sheep in her heart and counted to a thousand. Before

Avery’s voice stopped, she counted again from the beginning.

She found that this method was really good. She could finally face his ridicule calmly and expressionlessly. Even if

she focused on counting the

sheep in her mind, she would not be able to hear what he was saying.

It turned out that counting sheep did not only have the effect of hypnosis. Darlene felt that this method should be

used more in the future. Competing with Avery was probably the most stupid thing in the world.

Avery mocked her for a long time and was almost done venting his anger. He was still thinking about whether his

words were too harsh. He thought that she was probably choked to the point of being unable to say a word.

Just as he was about to soften his voice, he suddenly heard Darlene say in a low voice, “Seven hundred and thirty–

two.”

His face darkened. “What?”

Darlene counted for a long time before she was suddenly interrupted. She subconsciously frowned and immediately

reacted. Avery’s voice stopped.

She had a mild compulsive disorder and wanted him to say a few more words

to wait for her to count to a thousand.

But now that she was forcefully interrupted, she could only give up.

She looked up at him. “All right, I understand. I understand.”

Avery was clearly very dissatisfied with her perfunctory response. He said

coldly, “What did you understand?”

Darlene was silent for two seconds. “Why don’t you say it again?”

The anger in Avery’s eyes had just disappeared, but Darlene had provoked him again.

Avery was so angry that he raised his hand to grab her chin, forcing her to

at him. As soon as she lowered her head, it was unknown what she

was saying.

“I’m warning you. Don’t always be so self–righteous. In the future, don’t

show off your abilities in front of others. Do you really think that those

things can please Gustave? He will only think that you are a joke.”

Darlene found that even if she tried to ignore his humiliation and sarcasm, there were some things she could not

ignore.

For example, Avery mocked her again and again. He always thought lowly of

her ability of massaging.

She looked at him and could not help but laugh, “Mr. Gallard, you now know

that I have lost face and that I am lowly.

“But it was only because of the lowly skills that I allowed you to stand in

front of me normally at this moment. Otherwise, perhaps today, you might

still be paralyzed in bed.”

Avery really did not like her saying those things. “Shut up. Don’t always

think that I can get better because of you.”

“Yes, of course not because of me. If you got better because of me, it would be too embarrassing.” Darlene

nodded.

How could someone like Avery admit that he survived the most difficult two

years with a woman?

Avery frowned. “Don’t be so weird.”

Darlene reached out and pushed his hand away. “Mr. Walpole will thank me because he has basic courtesy and

conscience. You don’t know what’s good for you, but that doesn’t mean that everyone in this world doesn’t know

what’s good for them.”

Avery didn’t want to continue arguing with her. Even now, he was still not

sure whether her depression was fake or not.

If not, many depression sufferers could talk to ordinary people, but once

their emotions fluctuated or they were stimulated, they would act

abnormally.

Avery stopped talking. “I came here to ask you something. The servants cleaned up Southwood Villa and found a lot

of medicine in your bedroom. I asked Seth to have a check. They all seem to be medicine for heart disease

treatment. Did you hide something from me?”
