Chapter 235 Not Nathen’s Heart

Avery stood not far away and listened to the doctor.

He was very clear about it. Darlene would only believe that the heart in her body was not Nathen’swhen she heard it directly from the people of the Elicott family.

She would not believe any other people’s words.

He really had no other way. He asked Cyrus, reluctant to accept the truth, “Could it be that the heart isreally not Nathen’s? In that case, as long as we replace enough evidence, we don’t need the Elicottfamily’s help.”

Cyrus looked helpless. “Sir, we’ve found out practically everything. What you said is very improbable.”

Actually, it was impossible.

The best evidence was that those from the black market, who were sentenced to death, had admittedto performing illegal surgery on Nathen.

If they had not done it, why didn’t they defend themselves?

Avery recalled the reactions of the people of the Elicott family in the past few days. Originally, it wasonly that he couldn’t get help from the Elicott family and hoped that the heart was not Nathen’s. Hethought that he could save Darlene this way, and he also knew that this was almost impossible.

But now he thought about it, he suddenly felt something was wrong, “Cyrus, don’t you think that Martintook Nathen’s death too calmly? Apart from some grief on his face, he had no other reactions.”

Cyrus responded, “After all, he is old, and the whole thing must be too much for him to take. Even if hewants to take revenge, he might not have the energy to do it at the moment.”

Avery shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it looked. “I heard that hewent abroad to deal with some company business a few days ago.

“If it really was too much for him to take, he should be in no mood to work even if the Elicott Groupcollapsed right now. So why would he take a business trip abroad at a time like this?

“Moreover, after I sent Sandra to him and told him the truth, he did not lay his hand on Sandra andgave up on suing me.’

He also remembered what he learned from the police a few days ago. “And Mr. Dorsey said that Martinhelped replace those from the black market and also send these criminals to the police station.

“Cyrus, those people have killed Nathen with scalpels. But after Martin found them, he did nothing tothem and sent them to the police station unharmed.”

Cyrus also found it a bit strange, and his voice became a little heavy. “Perhaps, he thought that it wasnot worth it to punish those people himself. After he sent them to the police station, they would besentenced to death and be killed anyway.”

Avery turned around and walked out of the hospital. “This is different. When I asked you to checkNathen’s background, I found something.

“When he was in university, he was a loner and a grumpy person. He pissed off some gangsters andwas injured by those people.

“Later on, someone broke those people’s arms and legs. And they all told the police that Martin was theculprit. But the evidence was insufficient, so it was left unsolved.”

Cyrus remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

Avery said in a low voice, “Martin is kind on the outside but not on the inside. In the face of themurderers of his grandson, there was no way he would be so calm.

“With the Elicott family’s power, he could secretly torture them half to death before he sent them to thepolice and still get away with it.

“If Martin could show mercy to those who killed his grandson, he would not be so indifferent to Avery’sbegging last night when Darlene was dying.

After leaving the hospital, Avery got into the car and continued, “Cyrus, this is not a simple thing. Backthen, when Nathen planned to donate his heart, even Katrina and Sandra knew about it. Martin mightknow it too.

“Go and replace out what Martin has been doing these days and where he went. And who he met when hetook care of the company business abroad.”

Cyrus remembered that on the day when Sandra was taken away by the police, Martin had a fight withLeana in the hospital corridor.

He recounted what had happened. “A few days ago, I heard Martin tell Leana that he chose to not sueand pursue the matter for the sake of the Elicott Group’s future. He didn’t want to make an enemy ofthe Gallard family and the Swale family.”

Avery sneered, “Cyrus, since you heard it, then Martin didn’t say those words for Leana to hear but foryou to hear.

“Katrina is abandoned by the Swale family. As for Sandra, she was the target of public criticism. Even ifhe chose to pursue the matter, the Swale family, the Bullock family, and the Gallard family wouldn’t be

pissed at all.”

Cyrus’ face sank. “Martin is quite shrewd. It seems that this matter is indeed not simple.”

Avery replied, “Let’s replace out what Martin did abroad first. I don’t think he went abroad for business.Perhaps, Nathen had been transferred to the country he went to.”

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Cyrus could not help but ask, “Then if Ms. Garcia’s heart is not Nathen’s,whose is it?”

Avery was silent for two seconds and snapped, “Didn’t I ask you to investigate? How would I know?”

Cyrus coughed and did not dare to ask any more questions. He focused back on driving.

In the hospital.

There could only be one person in the intensive care unit to look after the patient.

Considering Darlene’s mental state, Dakota asked Gustave to stay in the ward to take care of Darlene.

The Swale family couldn’t bring themselves to leave Darlene alone in the hospital, so they rested in alounge on the same floor.

It was almost midnight at this time. It had been a tough night, and everyone was exhausted.

In the intensive care unit, Gustave also found it unbelievable that Nathen donated his heart.

He figured that he should ask Darnell to investigate the whole thing. But Darlene had just calmed downa little, and he did not dare to mention those things to her.

Darlene had been lying there for days and wanted to sit for a while. Gustave helped her sit on the edgeof the bed and then went to the bathroom to get water for her to wash up.

When he came back with the water, the person on the bed was gone.

The water basin in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. He rushed out and searched everywhere.The people of the Swale family also rushed over.

Even the head of the hospital joined the search. Finally, they found Darlene on the rooftop. She wassitting on the edge of the roof with her legs swaying.
