Colin nodded and left the elevator. He quickly followed the woman who left in a hurry.

There were many people in the hospital hall. When the woman walked out, she paused for a momentand probably noticed that someone was following her.

The woman quickly went out of the gate, turned a corner, and walked left into the parking lot.

Colin rushed out and did not see the woman. He looked around and finally saw the woman in a dark coatnot far away.

When Colin caught up, the woman stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him with a puzzledexpression.

The person who turned back was Sandra, but Colin recognized that it was definitely not the woman whowas wearing a mask and sunglasses.

The coat Sandra was wearing was very similar to the woman’s, but if one looked closely, there were stilldifferences. The color and style of the base shirts they wore were

different.

Sandra looked at Colin. “It’s you, Colin. Where are you going in such a hurry?”

Colin made up an excuse with some embarrassment. He then looked at the crowd and found the womanhad already disappeared. It was obvious that the woman was nowhere

to be found.

Colin could only turn around and leave, returning to Avery.

After Colin left, Sandra continued to walk toward the parking lot.

Sandra took the car key and approached a car. The woman who had just worn a mask and sunglasseshad already taken them off and was waiting beside Sandra’s car.

Sandra did not look at the woman, only passing by her to get in the car, and said, “Come

on up.”

The woman immediately got into Sandra’s car in a panic. Katrina, who had already taken off her mask,was obviously still in a state of shock. “Sandra, I was scared to death just now. As soon as I stepped outof the elevator, I happened to run into that woman and Avery. That woman’s grandmother seemed to bein a bad condition. Could it

be…”

Katrina only wanted to teach Darlene a lesson, reminding Darlene to leave Avery as soon as possible.

Katrina did not wish for someone to really die.

Katrina knew if things were to get out of hand, not only the Swale family would not protect her, butDakota would even kick her out.

Thinking of this, Katrina clasped her hands together and panicked a little.

However, Sandra said calmly, “Katrina, you just told the truth. What is there to be afraid of? The one whois to blame is the one who killed Nigel. What does it have to do with you?

“Besides, no one knows that you are the one who said it. Don’t worry. Just don’t get too nervous and giveit away.”

Katrina calmed down and nodded. “I see. Sandra, you are right.”

Sandra drove away. Behind a black car not far away, a figure walked out and looked in the direction ofSandra’s car. His eyes were deep.

In the hospital inpatient building, when Darlene rushed to the ward, Reina had already

been sent to the emergency room.

There was a little blood on the white bed sheets and a little on the floor.

Darlene could guess at a glance how big a shock the news of Nigel’s death had on Reina.

Reina was over eighty and she was so startled that she vomited blood. The situation was undoubtedlyvery serious.

The nurse hurried over. “Ms. Garcia, Mr. Gallard, I will bring the two of you to the emergency room.There is a critical illness… There is a document that needs to be

signed.”

The nurse saw that Darlene’s face was extremely pale and swallowed back the words.

Darlene turned around and hurriedly followed the nurse. Darlene was still sweating, her

vision blurred, and she propped her hand against the wall beside her as she walked down the other sideof the corridor.

Avery followed closely. He intended to reach out to support Darlene, but she shook his hand off. He feltguilty and did not dare to help her anymore. He just followed her to the

emergency room.

Giovanni quickly walked over from afar. When he passed Darlene, he patted her on her shoulder. “Calmdown.”

Darlene wanted to ask Giovanni if the situation would be very bad, but Giovanni had already pushed thedoor open and entered the emergency room.

Darlene almost fell down, her body shaking violently.

When Avery reached out his hand again, Darlene flung his hand away. Her eyes were

red. “Get lost!”

Darlene believed that if not for Avery leaving Reina here and not allowing anyone to keep a close eye onher, there definitely wouldn’t have been any random people. sneaking into the ward and telling Reina thenews of Nigel’s death.

Avery took a step back. “Don’t worry. With Mr. Dawson’s medical skills, Reina will

never…”

“If something happens, can you give me your life as compensation? Can you?” Darlene interruptedAvery harshly, shivering all over.

Darlene only had Reina left, and Reina was her only relative in this world.

Avery paused, shut his mouth, and did not continue.

At the end of the corridor, Nathen dressed in a doctor’s overall quickly walked over.

Darlene noticed Nathen coming over and anxiously walked over.

Darlene was so flustered that she was a little out of her wits. “Dr. Elicott, my

grandmother, she… She is in the emergency room. The doctor has given notice of the critical condition.What should I do? Is it serious?”

Nathen comforted Darlene and looked at the nurse beside him. “Who is the chief

surgeon inside?”

The nurse answered, “It’s Mr. Dawson.”

Nathen’s expression relaxed a little, and his gaze fell back on Darlene. “It shouldn’t be a big problem. Mr.Dawson’s medical skills are the best in the entire hospital. He has never failed an operation in so manyyears.

“Older people are in worse health than younger people, and emergency situations would happen.However, with timely rescue, it would not be life–threatening.”

Hearing what Nathen, Darlene obviously calmed down a little, much better than when she had lostcontrol of her emotions when facing Avery.

Darlene nodded and clenched her fists tightly. “Alright. I only have Reina now. Reina suddenly heard ofmy younger brother’s death. She must have suffered a lot.”

Nathen responded, “There is no big problem. Don’t worry too much.”

As Nathen spoke, he reached out and patted Darlene’s arm. Avery’s face immediately turned cold as hewalked over.

Avery thought, with a doctor’s overall on, Nathen even dares to touch Darlene?

When Avery got closer, he lost his confidence again. When he met Darlene’s extremely pale face, he stilldid not say a word.

The more Nathen looked, the more he felt that Darlene didn’t seem alright. “Why do you look so pale?Are you sure you are okay?”

Nathen looked at Darlene carefully and noticed that there were obvious red marks on her neck andaround her collarbone. Her hair was also obviously a little messy.

The reason for such ambiguous marks was naturally self–evident.

In Darlene’s present condition, it was too much for her not to stay in bed, and all

strenuous exercise must be avoided.

Heart disease was not like other diseases. Any strenuous exercise and mood swings

could have serious consequences, even fatal.

Nathen’s face darkened, and his eyes were filled with disgust and hostility. He looked at

Avery, who was at the side.

The pain in Darlene’s heart was getting worse and worse, and she felt it from the time

she got out of the car.

This was as far as Darlene could go.

Everything in front of Darlene became blurry, and blood broke through her throat. Before she could turnaround, a mouthful of blood was spat on Nathen’s overall.

Snow white and scarlet red caused a huge contrast in color. The blood on the white overall wasshocking.

Nathen’s face suddenly darkened even more. Since Nathen stood closer, he reached out. and grabbedDarlene, who was falling down.

“Darlene?”

When Nathen held Darlene, he finally found that her body was already cold. Her face and forehead werefull of sweat. She must have been sweating from the pain.

Darlene’s lips were pale, and her voice was so soft that it could not be heard clearly. “It hurts, help me.”

Avery wanted to carry Darlene from Nathen’s hands, but Nathen did not let go. It was not until the nursepushed the wheeled stretcher over in a hurry that Nathen put

Darlene on it.

The nurse immediately pushed Darlene to the emergency room on the other side of the corridor, andAvery followed in a hurry.

There was a nurse in the hallway pushing a trolley with a scalpel and tweezers and other gadgets,presumably to be sterilized, and the scalpel still had some blood on it.

Nathen pulled a scalpel from the top with a dark face, took a few steps, grabbed Avery’s shoulder, andstabbed the scalpel at Avery.

Avery was unprepared. When he turned around, he subconsciously dodged, but the scalpel still cut hisface, leaving a wound that extended to his neck.

The scalpel was extremely sharp, and blood immediately appeared on Avery’s face.

Nathen was so angry that he was at the point of losing his mind, and he tried to stab again with thescalpel. “Darlene’s in the final stages of heart failure. She’s very weak and in danger now. Avery, do youhave any conscience? How could you go that far? You are a beast!”
