A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 178 What if It’s True?

By the time Seth rushed over, Darlene was already unconscious.

She had made a scene. By the time Avery finally snatched the knife from her hands, she was already exhausted.

When she used the closet door as a support to get up, she

fainted.

Avery brought her upstairs to the bedroom. Just as he placed her down on the bed and brought some warm water

from the bathroom, Seth knocked on the door and came in.

Seth, who came in carrying the medicine box, noticed Avery’s pale face. He was stunned

sick?” for a moment before asking suspiciously, “Is she sick or are you

When Avery woke up from his coma back then, his face was not as pale as it was now.

Avery glanced at him and did not say a word. He motioned that Darlene was on the bed. After placing the basin of

water on the table, he sat down on the sofa.

Seth approached the bedside. As he examined Darlene, he secretly cursed in his heart, Avery has already lost his

memory. Why can’t he become a little gentler?

All year round, he wears a poker face and keeps silent. People around him have to work for him carefully. No

wonder his wife couldn’t stand it and ran away with others.

Thinking back to the days when Darlene was with him and saw his long face for such a long time, I know it was

really not easy for her.

After the examination was over, Seth adjusted his emotions and looked at Avery, who was sitting on the sofa like a

statue.

“Her emotions are unstable, which caused a sudden coma. Take a good rest, and don’t irritate her again. Pay

attention to her diet. And the medicine should be taken on time. As for the baby, I am very sure that she is not

pregnant.”

Avery looked at him for a while and suddenly asked, “What illness is she suffering

from?”

Seth still pretended to be calm and said, “Heart disease. It’s been so many years. Oh,

you don’t remember, do you?”

Avery believed that he remembered everything about Darlene. He replied, “I know it. Other than that, is there

anything else?”

Seth did not dare to tell him the truth. He walked over and sat down opposite Avery. “Why are you suddenly asking

this? Is there any other problem?”

Avery was a little hesitant, but he did not hide anything. “I brought her back today. She suddenly wanted to use a

knife to hurt herself. She also said that she was seriously ill and about to die. She said that it was me who killed our

baby.”

Those words sounded untrue.

Seth looked away and tried to avoid him awkwardly. “Oh, is that so? There’s such a

thing.”

Avery did not notice the strange expression on Seth’s face. He only thought back to Darlene’s crazy behavior just

now. “I’m wondering if she has any psychological problems, such as hypochondria or paranoia.

“It is impossible for her to be seriously ill, and it is even more impossible for me to kill our baby. Could it be a

miscarriage that caused her emotional ups and downs as well as other mental problems?”

Seth handed a few examination sheets to him. “She currently does have a certain degree of depression. When a

depression sufferer becomes extremely emotional, she may be unconscious and talk nonsense, or she may have a

tendency to self–harm.

“As for the cause of the miscarriage, it is because she has heart disease, and she needs to take medicine every day.

You know the medicine may hurt her baby, so the doctor suggested that she should give up the child. You signed it.

Avery frowned. “No wonder. She always said that I killed her baby. It turns out that I really signed it. She thought

that she was seriously ill. When I have time, I have to find a psychologist for her.”

Seth looked at him with a long face and tried to sound him out. “Sure. But if, I mean if, what Darlene said about her

having a serious illness and the matter of you killing the

child is true?”

Avery did not hesitate. He clearly rejected this assumption, “Impossible. She saw a doctor for her heart disease

regularly. She’s stable, and she takes the medicine on time.

“Even if a person’s body can suddenly change overnight, no one can predict the disease. But as for me killing the

child, how is that possible?”

He repeated it very confidently as if he was eager to prove something. “Anyway, it is impossible for me to do such a

thing.”

Seth was silent. Indeed, it would be difficult for men to kill their babies.

But Avery had done it in the past. He was truly cruel at that time.

As for now, Seth knew that there was no point in telling Avery anymore.

Seth stood up and looked at Darlene on the bed with some sympathy. He sighed, “Just pray that you never

remember it.”

But even so, Avery would not be able to immerse himself in his own world for long.

After all, Darlene only got less than two months. She may die soon.

Avery frowned and stood up. “What do you mean by that?”

However, Seth did not say anything to him. He left some medicine here before leaving

with the medicine box.

Avery walked back to the side of the bed. The water was cold, so he changed it. He then sat down on the edge of

the bed to wipe Darlene’s face with a towel.

When the towel reached over, he somehow used his palm to compare it with her face and found that her face was

not as big as his palm.

There were also a lot of mud stains on her neck. Probably the smudges were left when she fell in the backyard of

Gustave’s villa not long ago.

Avery approached her and carefully wiped her neck. Darlene seemed to be in pain. When he saw this, Avery

frowned.

Avery did it more gently. When the mud stains were wiped clean, the scar on her neck was slowly revealed.

The position was a little to the left from the middle of her neck, all the way to the back

of her neck.

Avery looked at the wound that suddenly appeared on her neck in disbelief. He could not

understand how such a long and eye–catching scar appeared on her neck.

His breathing almost stopped. He opened his palm and saw the wound that Darlene had

just cut with a knife in his palm.

Darlene used a lot of strength to leave a very deep and long wound in his palm, but the wound on her neck was

much deeper than that on his hand.

No wonder she always wore clothes with collars.

His hands trembled as he touched the scar. The wound had already scabbed, and it looked like she got hurt a few

months ago.

Avery reached out to cover his chest. His heart was clenched. In such a deadly silent bedroom, he asked himself

again and again what he had forgotten and what exactly he

had done.

Seth once said to Avery, “You better never remember it again.”

Avery repeated this sentence countless times in his mind. Fear began to surge like a tide.

Avery had to admit that he was starting to panic.

Darlene had lost her baby. The hideous scar on her neck was something that didn’t exist in his memory. But now, it

showed itself right in front of him.

Avery raised his hand to press the space between his eyebrows. He forced himself to stop thinking about it and

pretend that he had not seen anything. It was like nothing had happened.

He carried the basin into the bathroom. There was a look of uneasiness on his face that

he could not hide.

After a long time, he came out of the bathroom and lay down beside Darlene.

He pulled her into his arms, drew her close, and spoke in a low voice like he was hypnotizing himself, “Darlene, I

didn’t forget. I remember everything. We’ve been married for two years. You must be sick. You just remembered it

wrong.”

Darlene was in a deep sleep. When her brain was in pain and chaos, she felt that she could not breathe.

It seemed that something was pressing down on her body, blocking her breath. She wanted to break free from it,

but she could not.
