A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 108 Get Out!

Darlene realized that something was wrong and wanted to pull her hand back.

However, Avery wrapped the tie around her hands and tied them.

Darlene turned furious and kicked Avery desperately. Avery pressed down her calves and looked her up and down.

He took the tie on her nightgown and tied her legs.

Darlene could no longer move except to roll. Avery put the ointment on the bedside

her hair. table calmly and tucked up

Darlene’s eyes were red. Seeing Avery approach, she tried to raise her head to smash his.

“Don’t touch me!”

She could not move her hands and feet, nor could she raise her head.

Avery completely ignored Darlene’s reaction. He took the bottle and looked at it for a while. “Seth didn’t tell me

how I should apply. It isn’t written on the bottle either.”

He dipped the cotton swab casually and wiped it on Darlene’s neck. “Forget it. Just apply it casually. You’re in good

health, so it doesn’t matter for you to apply it more or less.”

Darlene’s body stiffened. When the ointment touched her wound, she felt a stinging

pain.

She struggled to turn to look at the medicine bottle next to her. Froin Avery’s tone, she was worried that he had

applied the wrong amount of ointment and that he had taken. the wrong bottle.

Avery had never valued her life. If he applied some random stuff on her neck, the wound

might get worse.

With great difficulty, Darlene turned her head. Avery stretched out his hand and placed the bottle into the drawer.

“Don’t worry, it’s not poison. If you’re afraid, don’t move. I’m not a doctor. I can’t control my strength.”

The ointment had the effect of anti–inflammatory and disinfecting. It hurt a lot when it was applied to the wound.

Darlene gritted her teeth and did not say anything. She closed her eyes so that she wouldn’t see Avery.

After a while, the movement on her neck finally stopped. There was no sound around

her.

Darlene guessed that Avery should have left.

She tried to open her eyes. Seeing that no one was sitting in front of her, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she

turned her head, only to find that Avery was sitting on the chair beside the bed and staring at her silently.

It was late at night. Avery just stared at Darlene without saying a word. No one knew how long he had been staring

at her.

Darlene was originally a little tired and sleepy. When she saw Avery, she suddenly woke up in fright.

“Why aren’t you sleeping? Are you pretending to be a ghost here?”

It was rare for Avery to not react toward Darlene’s questioning. He still looked at her. “Where have you been in the

past two days?”

Darlene took a deep breath and was still in shock. “It’s none of your business.”

Avery stood up and sat on the bed. He did not want to quarrel with her. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were sick?

Vivian and Giovanni both said that you…!

Darlene’s face froze, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes. In the end, Avery

knew about her illness.

Before she died, she still had to see his disgusting and hypocritical face when he pretended to feel pitiful for her.

Darlene clenched her fists and kept trembling all over. In the past, when she mentioned death, she would feel cold.

The chill seemed to invade her flesh and bone marrow and made her entire body stiffen

and shudder.

But she no longer felt that kind of chill now.

Sure enough, people could get accustomed to everything slowly, and there was nothing that could not be endured.

Darlene sneered. “Does it have anything to do with you?”

Avery leaned down and pressed his palm on her shoulder, staring at her from a close

distance.

“You are my wife. What do you think of me? What do you take your life for? Do you think that I will watch you die,

or do you think that taking revenge on me with your is pleasurable and satisfying?”

Avery exerted more force on his palm. Darlene felt pain, but she could not break free.

life

Avery’s expression frightened her. She could not even avoid his gaze because they were

so close.

Avery’s voice was trembling, and he sneered. “In a fit of pique, you refused to be hospitalized and gave up looking

for a heart donor. What benefit will you get if you die? Your grandmother, your younger brother, your ideal life

would be all gone.”

Avery’s palms were also trembling violently. “I won’t pity you. I can have another wife. and live a happy life with my

children. I will never go to your grave at all!

Darlene clenched her fists, her eyes full of hatred. “Get out. Get out!”

“What? Are you feeling wronged? Do you think death is not worth it? Do you think I will be in great pain? Do you

think I will be desperate when you die silently?” Avery’s face

was full of sarcasm, yet his eyes were red.

He tightened his grip on Darlene’s shoulder. Darlene couldn’t bear it and took a deep breath. When her eyes welled

up with tears, she closed her eyes.

How disappointing. Even now, when she heard Avery’s harsh words, she still felt angry, as if her heart was stabbed

by a thorn.

Someone like Avery had no right to affect her emotions.

Darlene had no strength. She felt tired of saying one more word. She lowered her voice and said, “Go out. I’m tired

and want to rest. If you want to quarrel with me, you can do it tomorrow.”

The bedroom fell into a dead silence. Outside the window was darkness.

Avery could not accept the fact that Darlene would die soon and could not think it through. Darlene was only

twenty–two years old. At such a young age, how could she suffer such an illness?

He did not say a word. Darlene closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. However, her trembling eyelashes

showed that she hadn’t calmed down and couldn’t fall asleep.

Darlene felt pain. She had been hiding something unpleasant carefully, but suddenly, it was exposed to the public.

She became a miserable wretch and had to face the sympathetic gazes of others.

“Look! She’s dying at such a young age. She’s so pitiful.”

Darlene trembled. Even though she tried her best to restrain herself, she couldn’t help

but shed tears.

She was going to die. Who would be able to remain indifferent to the fact that they were

about to die?

The room was terrifyingly silent. The next second, she felt Avery’s forehead pressing against hers.

Avery’s voice trembled. “Darlene, it’s been ten years. How can I just watch you die? Am I so cruel and despicable in

your eyes?”
