Chapter 141 Aurora, Help Me

The sound of the bedroom door being closed could be clearly heard. Darlene realized what hadhappened. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The door separated her from the outside world. At this moment, there were only her and Gustave in thebedroom.

Darlene looked up and met Gustave’s scarlet eyes.

His reaction and expression looked really abnormal.

When his heavy and hot breath gushed out, Darlene was so panicked that her fingers were clenchedtightly. She frantically tried to reach for the door handle and open it.

She could finally guess what was going on with Gustave. Using ice to cool down the fever? It was notthat simple.

However, she reacted a bit too late. The more anxious she was, the more her hand. trembled. Her backwas pressed against the door by Gustave. There was not enough

between her body and the door for her to open the door.

space

She was completely confused. The servants and Darnell were outside the door. They watched asGustave pulled her in.

Now they just watched and turned a blind eye to her suffering?

The door could not be opened, so she could only try to appease Gustave. “Mr. Walpole, calm down. I justheard someone talking downstairs. It seems that the doctor is coming. Why don’t we let the doctor checkon you? Otherwise…‘

Darlene moved to the side with difficulty, wanting to leave Gustave.

The bath towel was tied to his waist. He wasn’t wearing anything. At such a close

distance, Darlene’s face was almost pressed against his chest.

Just as her body moved a little to the side, she seemed to be able to distance herself from Gustave.Darlene held her breath. When she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief,

her shoulder was suddenly pulled, and she directly fell to the sofa.

Her back touched the switch on the wall, so the light was instantly turned off. The bedroom fell intodarkness.

Gustave pressed her shoulder and leaned down.

Darlene was so scared that her face turned completely pale. She almost screamed,

“Help!”

However, Gustave said in a heavy voice, “Aurora, help me.”

Darlene’s words choked at her throat. She leaned back on the sofa and clutched its edge,

trembling.

She didn’t dare to move, but she dropped the idea of screaming for help.

Ten years ago in the deep sea, when Gustave helped her out of the water, she also said, “Help me.”

Gustave saved her life once. That was something she would never be able to repay in her

life.

Her body was extremely tense. She did not move, except for a slight tremble.

Gustave leaned his head on her shoulder. He felt like losing control of himself, but he

seemed to still be conscious.

At least at this moment, he could still tell that Darlene was afraid.

His hand holding her loosened a little. “Don’t be afraid. Just stay here for a moment. I’ll

just lean on you for a while. I won’t do anything.”

Although he just soaked in ice water, the coldness had dispersed. His body was

beginning to heat up again.

She carefully reminded him, “Let the doctor give you some medicine, right?”

Gustave did not answer. After a while, he suddenly asked, “Did you eat mint?”

Darlene replied, “No.” Then she realized something and added, “I put some mint leaves when washingmy hair. I have had a headache recently. The taste of mint leaves makes

me more comfortable.”

Gustave loosened his grip a little and groped for the fruit knife on the side. The blade pierced through theback of his hand.

Then, he got away from her body and leaned back to sit beside her.

“Mint is not good for your health. You are seriously ill now. Try not to use it.”

Darlene subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. “I won’t anymore. I only add a few

pieces.”

She knew that mint was not good for her health, but her heart was weak and always had a burningsensation. When her heart ached, her body became unbearably hot.

Mint smelled cool. Since she was about to die, she didn’t care about her health at all.

Through the dark night, she couldn’t see Gustave’s face clearly. She only heard him sigh lightly. “He ismy biological father, and I don’t have any other family. My biological

mother can’t recognize me now.

“The people around me are all scheming against me. My relatives, partners, and friends. are all thesame, but I didn’t expect that my father could scheme against me to this extent and use such dirty tricks.”

Darlene barely understood what he meant. Gustave got drugged probably ordered by his

father.

The dark night covered Gustave’s face. Perhaps since she knew Gustave before, she let down her guardand comforted Gustave.

“At least, you have a mother. Although she can’t recognize you, she still remembers

your name. She remembers that she has a son. That means she still misses you in her

heart.

“But I haven’t seen my biological parents since I could remember. I don’t know what

they look like or what they do.”

For so many years, she hadn’t felt much care from others.

Gustave kept silent for a long time. He looked at Darlene in the dark night, “Aurora, let me help you replaceyour parents.”

“If you can change your heart and replace your biological parents, maybe you can live a good life. You arestill so young. It would be a pity to end your life like this.”

A glimmer of light appeared in Darlene’s eyes, but then it dimmed. “Forget it. It’s been so many years.They probably didn’t want to replace me at all. Besides, I’m dying. There’s no point in seeing them.”

Gustave interrupted her. “Who said that? You can last for more than two months.”

With the medicine and the artificial heart, her life would last longer. The possibility of replaceing a suitableheart would be high.

Darlene lowered his eyes and didn’t say anything else.

Gustave asked her in a deep voice, “No one will choose to die if they aren’t forced to. Aurora, don’t be sopessimistic. Don’t you want to live well?”

Seeing that she was still silent, Gustave continued, “You can get a new heart. Reina will come round.Your brother’s heart disease can also be cured.

“You can be all healthy. When your birth parents are found, they may also take care of you. Don’t youwant that kind of life? Isn’t it much better than death?”

Darlene’s palm slowly tightened, and she was touched. The expectation made her heart

beat faster.

After a long time, her eyes were a little red as she nodded seriously. “You’re right.”

She was in her twenties. If her life stopped here, she would have lived her entire life without properlyenjoying it.

When she clenched her fist, she felt something sticky in her hands. She looked at it under the moonlightand realized something. She was shocked.

“Are you bleeding?”
