A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Put Darlene in Jail

Darlene was completely out of control, and her eyes were scarlet.

Avery had tortured her so cruelly, yet he still wanted to kill Nigel.

The only mistake she had made over the years was that even though she knew he had another woman in his heart, she still chose to love him regardless of everything and wholeheartedly take care of him for so many years to please him.

But in the end, she was going to die, Nigel was going to die, and Reina was still missing.

However, Avery was still blind and accused her of many things she didn’t do.

The blood in his heart reflected a scarlet color in her eyes, and also reflected

the disbelief on his face.

Avery could not believe Darlene would attack him. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He knew how much she had loved him. If not for her obsession with him, she would not have framed his childhood sweetheart, Vivian, out of the country.

She did all that just to be with him. Now, if not for the fact that she had another man, how could she let go of so many years of feelings and be so

ruthless?

The fruit knife fell to the ground, making a crisp and ear–piercing sound.

Avery even forgot the pain. With one hand covering his chest, he didn’t care about treating the wound. He grabbed Darlene with the other hand and dragged her into the bathroom.

To be with another man, she even dared to murder her husband. Today, he

must let her know who her husband was!

When the water opened, Avery did not have the patience to test the temperature of the water. He let cold water get into the bathtub.

The water quickly spread out from the bathtub. Avery picked up Darlene who was curled up on the ground and threw him into the bathtub.

The bone–piercing cold water covered her entire body. Darlene choked on her saliva and coughed hard. Her head was pressed into the water.

The gauze on her body was soaked in water and spread out. The wounds hurt like hell from the coldness.

Avery pressed her head down and then pulled her hair up.

Darlene’s wound was ruptured, and her blood spread to the surface of the water. However, it was as if he could not see it. He took a towel and desperately wiped her body up and down.

He did not hold back and only felt every part of her body was uncomfortable to see. “Darlene, even if you were to change your skin and blood, you won’t

be clean.”

The pain and coldness made her shiver, and her lips turned blue.

Her shirt was wet and stuck to her body. Avery tore the eyesore off and threw

it to the side. He looked at her humiliated appearance indifferently.

Darlene was in great pain, and her survival instinct made her grab the edge.

of the bathtub with force. She struggled to get up and leave the ice water.

She used too much force that her nails were broken. The pain was so immense that she could no longer feel it.

She only felt cold and dizzy. Her vision was spinning, and her ears were constantly ringing.

She trembled and just stood up a little when Avery pressed her down by the shoulder again.

Darlene’s face was sticky, and she could not tell if it was sweat or tears, or

the mist in the bathroom.

Darlene looked at him but could not see him clearly. The man whom she had loved deeply was now standing in front of her and cutting her flesh.

She lost all her strength and leaned against the bathtub. She did not know where the chill came from, and she could not tell where it was cold and

where it hurt.

She said hoarsely, “Avery, if you are still a man. Don’t dawdle. Hurry up and

kill me.”

She couldn’t stand being cut and bled, but she had concerns, and even death

was a sin.

Avery frowned and stared at her.

She said weakly, “When I really die, will you regret everything you have done?”

Avery’s expression became even sourer. He stopped moving her and did not make a sound.

Darlene seemed to have suddenly thought of something as she chuckled, “I forgot. You don’t have a heart. Avery doesn’t have a heart. You have no conscience.”

The fishy and sweet taste once again rushed into her throat. Darlene no

longer had the strength to hold back her urge to vomit. She coughed bitterly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was just a mouthful of blood, but it felt as if she had vomited out an

internal organ.

She didn’t have time to lean her head out of the bathtub, so that mouthful of blood was spat into the bathtub, spreading rapidly on the surface of the

water.

The shocking red mixed with the smell of blood, giving a ghastly vibe to the

bathroom.

Avery’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

He remembered Darlene had been so excited that she vomited blood. The

doctor said it was caused by a heart attack, but the test result said it was only due to the rupture of the capillary vessels. It was not too serious. After some

time, she would recover.

Thinking of that, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

If he hadn’t known about those things, he would have thought she was about

to die.

Avery rarely fell sick, so he did not know much about diseases. In his

opinion, as long as Darlene’s illness wouldn’t kill her, it was not serious.

He was not willing to sympathize with her. She had hurt Vivian so much and shamelessly seduced other men. What was there for him to be soft–hearted

about?

He turned around and went out of the bathroom. He took a bath towel and

threw it on the shelf next to her.

The blood on the surface of the water made him uncomfortable. He avoided looking at her and coldly said, “Wipe it yourself and come out after

changing.”

When he went out again, Darlene was so dizzy that she almost fell asleep.

The door was knocked on twice, and Avery’s impatient voice came from outside, “Darlene, I don’t want to repeat it. Hurry up and come out.”

He said coldly, “Vivian is seriously injured and has no ability to give birth. Since you didn’t behave in Twilight Paradise, don’t think taking Nigel’s

heart was the end of this.”

Before he finished speaking, the bathroom door opened.

Darlene’s face was deathly pale. She had put on clothes and staggered out while leaning against the wall.

She looked at him. Her voice was so light that it didn’t seem like it was coming from her. “What do you want me to do to satisfy you?”

Avery remembered she had just admitted to having sex with Gustave in the car. No matter what, he could not get rid of his anger.

He grabbed her and threw her onto the bed. He raised his hand to remove his

tie.

Darlene saw him approaching and struggled to retreat with a face full of

resistance. “Why don’t you kill me with a knife? You might as well kill me

now!”

Avery pressed down and pinched her chin. “You slept with the doctor. You also slept with Gustave when you first met him. But you look humiliated when I want to sleep with you? Darlene, you should know even if I don’t like you, we haven’t divorced!”

He untied the towel on her hand and tormented her.

Darlene was in so much pain that she almost fainted. When she was about to faint from the pain, she squeezed her nails into her palm and forced herself to wake up a little.

Then, when Avery was humping her, she ruthlessly slapped him in the face with all her strength.

The stab and the slap made Avery completely lose his patience.

He grabbed her wrists and pressed them against the pillow. He angrily said, “Darlene, you’re simply courting death! Vivian has suffered so much. If I let you stay in Twilight Paradise, it would be too easy for you. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then fine. Go to jail for your brother!”

He pulled himself away and tidied up his clothes. He stood by the bed and

said coldly, “As you wish, I won’t torment your younger brother. Either you kneel down and beg me, or you go to jail for him now.”

Darlene looked at him and felt he was extremely ridiculous. “I beg you? Avery, wake up. It’s dawn.”

She knew even if she begged him, Avery would not change his mind.

Avery took out his phone and sent a message. “Alright, Darlene, you asked

for it. I want to see what you can do in prison.”

The uniformed police arrived quickly. A man showed his identification to Darlene. “Ms. Garcia, we have received a report. You are suspected of an

attempted murder case. Please come with us.”
