A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 220 Please Help Me Find Him.

Lucian looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say? Mr. Elicott might donate his heart to Darlene?"

Dakota looked even more astonished. "How is that possible? Mr. Elicott is a healthy person."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she quickly realized that something was wrong, and the people present

also realized that something was wrong.

There was only one reason why Nathen would bring her to such a far place when Darlene was so weak. It was to

honor his previous promise and bring her here to complete the heart transplant.

However, if the donor was just a stranger who was about to die, then he should at least let Darlene bring another

close person with her.

Even if Darlene did not have a family around at that time, at least she could bring Aleena with her.

The heart transplant was such a big deal. Why did he leave alone with Darlene before dawn and cut off all the

people?

It did not seem like a simple heart transplant.

The policeman's face became serious. "It seems that this is far more serious than we imagined. We have to find

them as soon as possible. There is no time left. But will Mr. Elicott really do such an irrational thing?"

Although it was said that he wanted to save Darlene's life, everyone knew that it meant death.

Leana was so anxious that tears came down, and she directly knelt down in front of the police. "My brother has

been mentally ill for many years. Over the years, his stubbornness has been morbid when he dealt with people and

things.

"But he has always rejected and resisted all psychological treatment. I have tried many times, but he is unwilling to

accept treatment.

"Please. Please help me find him. Don't let him do anything stupid. I only have one brother, and my grandfather

only has one grandson."

She recalled that Martin did not choose to come back with her when she hurried back to the country. He must have

been really anxious and did not have the strength to return to the country.

Thinking of this, Leana's heart ached. Her grandfather was more than eighty years old and only had two

grandchildren. If something bad happened to Nathen, how could her grandfather bear it?

Avery did not say a word. At this point, as the person who had already known the truth, he was too ashamed to

speak.

The police immediately helped Leana up. "Ms. Elicott, don't be like this. Calm down. We will definitely do our best to

find your brother and Ms. Garcia as soon as possible."

Leana was so anxious that her head was covered in a cold sweat. She said helplessly, "I shouldn't have gone

abroad. It's all my fault. I should have noticed that something was wrong with him a long time ago. I should have

kept a close eye on him. Not long ago, he called me and said that he wanted to prepare a birthday gift for me..."

Her voice suddenly stopped. She remembered something, and a chill spread all over her body.

She said urgently, "Sir, I remember something. I realized that I didn't bring my ID card with me when I went abroad.

"Maybe my brother took it away. With my ID card and a person who looks like me, he can have someone disguise

herself as me and sign the agreement as a family member.'

Without the family member's signature, one could not donate his or her organs. But now, as a family member, she

didn't have her ID card with her.

Dakota walked over and put her arm around her shoulder to comfort her. "Ms. Elicott, calm down first. It is more

important to find them now."

Leana trembled violently. "Yes, yes. It's more important to find them. Let's go find them first."

Several people left in a hurry. Behind the pillar next to them, a woman who was covered tightly walked out and

looked at their backs.

She took off her mask slightly and let out a breath. Her face was revealed. It was Vivian's face.

She followed Dakota and the others all the way here.

In an inconspicuous sanatorium in the suburbs.

Darlene sat on the balcony outside the ward and looked down at the large but empty lawn.

Since she came here in the morning, she felt a little strange. There seemed to be no one here.

She could not help but look at Nathen beside her and asked again, "Does the donor really live here?"

"Yes, this is a private sanatorium. It is a little cold and quiet, and it is far from the city. There is almost no one here.

"However, the environment is quiet, and it is a suitable place for people to recuperate. Moreover, it is the end of

the year, and the patients were almost discharged from the hospital and went home."

Darlene thought about the time. The new year was approaching indeed.

When she first learned that her heart was failing, it was still the rainy season in July or August.

And now, if Nathen had not found a suitable heart for her, she would face death.

She thought of something. "Today is Christmas, right? Dr. Elicott, if I can make it through this time, I will definitely

send you a New Year gift to show my gratitude."

Nathen smiled and sat beside her without saying a word.

Darlene looked serious. "I mean, you have helped me a lot these years. I didn't show my gratitude, but I remember

everything. Although I can't give you something really nice, I will do my best to give you the best gift."

Moreover, she had left 850 thousand dollars to Aleena. When she passed away, her grandmother and brother could

use the money.

If she could successfully get a heart, she would not die. At that time, she could think of a way to earn money, and

she would not need to save a large sum of money.

Even if she only used half of the money, she could definitely buy a good gift.

Nathen nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll keep it in mind. I'll be waiting for your gift. Don't forget to give it to me."

Darlene agreed, but her hands were sweating.

She was a little nervous about the heart transplant.

However, she had no family, and she only had several friends, like Aleena and Gustave.

Aleena returned to her hometown a few days ago and went to visit Braydon's parents.

Gustave still did not know what was going on, and it was even more impossible for him to keep Darlene company at

the moment.

Nathen patted the back of her hand that curled up with his broad palm. "What? Are you afraid?"

Darlene shook her head. "I'm not afraid. But the moment I am waiting to have my heart changed with expectations

will be the moment the donor passes away."

A strange look flashed across Nathen's eyes, but his expression remained the same. "That person is a cancer

patient. Whether you accept his heart or not, his life is about to end.

"In this sense, he might have to thank you for being able to live with his heart in you."

Darlene felt a little sad. "After the transplant is over, I want to see that person and thank his family."

Nathen turned his gaze away and looked forward. "You know that this is against the rules. It is not allowed. Organ

donation must be anonymous, and it is also to prevent illegal transactions. You can show the greatest gratitude to

that person by living a good life."

Darlene did not know what else to say, and both of them were silent.

After a moment, Nathen suddenly spoke again, "Why don't you give me your painting as a new year's gift?

"I remember that you have been painting for many years. That is something you like to do. After the heart

transplant is done, without the Gallard family and Avery's restrictions, you can keep doing it.

'Darlene, don't live for others anymore. Look at you now. It's unworthy."

Darlene's eyes were a little red. It was truly not worth it.

She had loved a man with all her heart for so many years, but in the end, she had put herself into such a sorry

state.

Darlene nodded. "Okay, I will draw a portrait for you and give it to you. I hope that I can have the chance. Dr.

Elicott, you must live a good life too."

She felt a little dizzy. In the beginning, she just felt a little sleepy, but now Darlene began to be so sleepy that she

could not open her eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Nathen say "OK". And then Darlene fainted.

She vaguely heard Nathen coming closer and talking to her. "Darlene, have a good sleep and have a good dream.

When you wake up, everything will be fine."
