Chapter 136 I’ll Take Her Away

Gustave was dumbfounded by Nigel’s words. He stared at Nigel. “What did you say?”

Nigel replied in an unhappy voice, “I heard you mention the names of Darlene and Aurora. Both of themare my elder sister’s names. Do you have anything to do with her? Why did you scold her as a fake?”

He continued as his gaze fell on Abigail, “What’s the matter with you? Why did you call yourself Aurora? Isee. You must have said it wrong. My elder sister is so kind that she won’t be angry at you. Don’t do itanymore.”

Although he didn’t know why Abigail slandered Darlene, he hated others speaking ill things aboutDarlene the most.

Abigail’s face was raked with rage. She took a step closer to Nigel and glared at him, asking, “Are youthe brother of that fake?

“It turns out that both of you are hateful. She pretended to be someone else, while you.

were rude.”

Nigel didn’t mean to argue with her. He happened to hear her talk unpleasant things about Darlene andwanted to stop her.

However, Abigail’s arrogance irritated him. After all, he was just twelve years old and hot–tempered.

Nigel clenched his fists and shouted in anger, “How dare you! Is there any between you and my eldersister?

conflict

“Even if your name is also Aurora, you don’t need to be so angry. It’s common for different people tohave the same name, isn’t it? Or you are actually the fake one. That’s why you become strangely angry.”

Abigail’s eyes turned red instantly. She yelled at him, “You are talking nonsense! Sandra told me that Ihave been called Aurora since I was little. The one who gave me

the name wished me to have a bright future.

“I didn’t change my name until I left the orphanage and was brought back by the

Bullock family when I was twelve. Back then, I fell into the sea by accident, and Gustave

saved me.”

Nigel had planned to make everything clear to Abigail and asked her not to slander

Darlene anymore.

However, he felt increasingly strange at what Abigail had said. She seemed to talk about. Darlene’sexperiences over the past few years.

What Abigail had talked about was exactly what Darlene had experienced.

Nigel thought, it’s not rare for the woman in front of me to have the same name as

Darlene before.

However, how could they have almost the same experiences from childhood?

Nigel remained silent for a while. Then, he changed his attitude and asked again, “Did you say that youfell into a sea at twelve? Which sea did you fall into?”

Abigail could tell that his attitude had softened. She thought that he felt guilty and up arguing with her.

gave

Her voice became even louder as she confidently repeated the name that Sandra had

once told her, “It’s Beaufort Sea.

“Do you hear me clearly? When I fell into the sea, Gustave happened to surf there. He tried his best tosave me. Now, do you believe that Darlene is a fake?”

Nigel looked at Abigail with pity. “I can basically confirm that you are lying.

“How did you know Darlene’s experiences? How dare you act so boldly and confidently in front of me?I’m Darlene’s brother, okay?”

As he spoke, he pointed at his face and then at Abigail’s.

He tutted, “I’m curious about one thing. What makes you put Darlene’s experiences on yourself?

“Mr. Walpole, do you know about it? Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me why she did so?

He thought of Abigail’s words and asked, “Mr. Walpole, were you the one who saved Darlene when shefell into the sea?”

Gustave did not reply to Nigel. He responded by asking, “Are you telling the truth?”

Nigel nodded. “Sure! Since I am ten years younger than Darlene, I didn’t know how these things exactlyhappened to her.

“However, my grandmother kept repeating to me that Darlene had fallen into the sea. ten years ago andstayed several years in the orphanage. I’m extremely familiar with these things.”

He paused for a moment. Then, he continued as his eyes lowered a little. “It’s a pity that my grandmothercan’t talk now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gustave turned around and walked toward Darlene’s

ward.

Abigail had a bad premonition and wanted to call Sandra. Seeing that Gustave had gone far away, shechanged her mind and hurriedly chased after him.

“Gustave, what he said was nonsense. He made it up. I’m Aurora. He and Darlene worked together todeceive you ….. Ah!”

Before she could finish speaking, Gustave put all his strength to shake her hand, which

was on his arm, away.

Abigail didn’t expect that he would do so. Even though Gustave became more and more indifferent to herrecently, he had never been this rude to her.

She wanted to stop him from going to Darlene. To her surprise, he directly pushed her

away.

Abigail stumbled back and fell to the ground, with her forehead hitting the wall beside

her.

She covered her forehead and exclaimed on purpose, “It hurts! It’s bleeding! Gustave,

please take me to the doctor. Don’t leave me alone.”

The people passing by in the corridor glanced at her with odd looks. However, Gustave, the one sheshouted to, kept going without looking back at her anymore.

Abigail was so aggrieved that her tears streamed down her cheeks. She took out her phone and calledSandra, “What should I do? Gustave wants to abandon me. He listened to what Darlene’s brother saidand thought that I was a fake. Can you help me?”

She burst into passionate weeping. The people around her looked at her with sympathy.

Then, they watched Gustave, who was about to disappear from the corridor, and shook their heads.They sighed, “What a heartless man!”

Nigel passed by her and sneered, “You deserve it. No wonder you are from the Bullock family. All of yourfamily are shameless.”

Abigail was incandescent with anger. She tried hard to stand up and continued to scold Nigel.

Nigel had a bad feeling when he noticed several doctors running toward Darlene’s ward anxiously in thecorridor. He immediately followed them.

The ward was once again in chaos. Darlene had just woken up.

She opened her eyes and saw Avery walking to her with a basin of warm water to wipe her face. Shewas shocked and directly knocked the basin to the ground.

The ward was in a mess as both the bed sheet and the ground were covered in water.

Her emotions were unstable. In spite of the slippery ground, she pulled the needle from her arm and wasabout to get out of bed in a panic.

She looked at Avery as if Avery was an extremely terrifying person. Her face was pale

with fear. “Get lost!”

Avery stopped her with a straight face. “Lie down. I’ll ask the servants to clean the floor, or you will fall.”

Darlene looked around the ward with her eyes full of vigilance. “Where are Nigel and my grandmother?You want to use them to threaten me again, don’t you? Where did you

hide them?”

She was extremely nervous and emotional as she had just woken up from her nightmare. She insistedon getting out of bed. “I want to replace them. I have to replace them and bring them back.”

The ground was covered in water. Avery wore a serious face when he saw Darlene stepping barefoot onthe ground. He went over to support her, but Darlene used all her strength to push him away.

However, she was too weak. She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Avery’s face turned sullen. Just as he wanted to pick up Darlene from the ground, he saw

someone else reaching out.

Gustave reached the ward with the police. He helped Darlene up and then looked into

Avery’s eyes.

Before Avery could stop him, Gustave said, “I’ll take her away.”
