A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 250

Chapter 250 She Won’t Die

“Ms. Garcia jumped into the sea and died.”

That sentence suddenly came without any warning. Cyrus held the phone and completely froze there.

Darnell did not wait for him to respond and directly hung up the phone. There was a “beep” sound fromthe phone.

Cyrus’ hand shook. When the phone almost fell to the ground, he suddenly came back to his senses.Apart from disbelief, there was also great horror on his face.

Cyrus wondered, dead! Darlene’s dead.

Then what about Mr. Gallard? He just happened to replace the evidence that Nathen is alive, but Darlenewas dead. How could he accept this fact?

Cyrus stood at the door. He slowly put down the phone that was held up to his ear and turned back tolook inside.

His glance met Avery’s eyes.

At this moment, Avery looked joyful, relaxed, and satisfied.

Avery knew that after Cyrus called, the news that Nathen was still alive had definitely spread to theSwale family and Gustave. Naturally, Darlene would know it.

As long as Darlene knew that Nathen was still alive, wouldn’t the overwhelming guilt in his heart beresolved?

Nathen stood not far from Avery and was still being controlled by the bodyguards. He looked at Kellywho sat on the ground with her hands tied with concern.

Nathen looked worried and angry. He said coldly, “Avery, I don’t want to waste too much time on you.Let Kelly go. Just tell me what you want.”

Avery smiled and got up. The gloom all over his body was gone. “There’s nothing else I want. Thankyou for making a trip, Dr. Elicott. Take her back.

“Oh, but her surname is not Garcia. I don’t care about other things, but she doesn’t deserve to use thissurname. Ms. Elto, change your surname earlier.”

Kelly’s face was pale, and there was a panic in her eyes that was difficult to hide. “I don’t know whatyou are talking about. Dr. Elicott, can we go back now? I am a little afraid.”

Avery signaled the bodyguards to let go. The bodyguards immediately let go of Nathen.

Nathen rushed over and helped Kelly up.

In the end, he could not hold back his anger and immediately promised, “Don’t be afraid.

This matter is not over. I will contact the

police and ask them to punish him. I will not let you be bullied for nothing.

Kelly knew that Avery knew her true identity. She was not sure how much information

Avery had in his hands. She said with an uneasy expression, “Dr. Elicott, I am fine.

Let’s go back. Let’s not pursue it.”

Avery sneered. He still wanted to mock her. Cyrus hesitated for a moment outside the door. He walkedover and whispered beside Avery.

“Mr. Gallard, Darnell, Mr. Walpole’s driver, just said over the phone that Ms. Garcia jumped into theBeaufort Sea by the cliff in the middle of the night last night. I’m afraid… she passed away.”

Avery had wanted to mock Kelly, but his words were stuck in his throat. The mocking smile on his facewas still there, but he no longer moved at all.

He looked at Nathen holding Kelly as they walked outside. When Nathen walked to the door, he askedCyrus, “What?”

Cyrus’ voice trembled a little. “Ms. Garcia jumped into the sea… and seemed to have passed away.”

“Are you kidding me? Didn’t you send it over?” Avery’s voice was very calm, so calm that it was as if hewas extremely sure that Cyrus was talking nonsense.

But after he said that, his expression quickly changed. It became extremely violent and ugly.

He suddenly turned to look at Cyrus, who was silent. Then he reached out and grabbed Cyrus by thecollar, pushing him into a corner.

“Where is the video I asked you to send?

Where is the video showing Nathen is still alive? Nathen is still alive, so why did she jump? Cyrus, doyou think there is something wrong with her brain, or do you think there is something wrong with mybrain?”

Nathen, who had walked to the door, paused the moment he heard this sentence.

He heard Avery mention his name, but it seemed that this name had a completely different meaningfrom what was in his memory.

Just like now, Avery clearly said that Nathen was still alive, but he could not understand what Averymeant at all.

Kelly, who was beside him, was urging him to hurry up, but Nathen did not move anymore. He turnedaround and looked at Avery, his face full of doubt and confusion.

Cyrus was fiercely strangled by Avery. His mouth trembled as he struggled to say, “Mr. Gallard, it’s toolate. It’s almost four o’clock in the morning. Ms. Garcia jumped into the sea at midnight.”

Avery fiercely exerted strength in his palm, venting the great uneasiness and panic that surged withinhis heart to the man in front of him.

It was as if as long as he used a bit more strength, Cyrus would definitely admit that those words wereall lies.

He stared fixedly at Cyrus and hissed, “I’m not a fool! I’m not a fool! What kind of trick is this?Impossible! What a big joke!”

Cyrus panicked. There were no other people from the Gallard family here, nor were there any doctors.This was not the hospital. He was worried that something would happen to Avery if he lost control ofhimself like this.

He could only try to appease Avery. “Mr. Gallard, you are right. That might not be the case. The rescueships are still searching on the sea. Perhaps Ms. Garcia is lucky. Maybe she is still…”

Avery did not have such an unrealistic hope.

The Beaufort Sea was vast. The cliff was dozens of feet high, and it had been four hours. It was simplya pipe dream for her to be found alive.

His voice was low, and after he went bananas, he slowly came back to his senses.

His eyes were slowly filled with begging and fear as he didn’t dare to confirm whether it was true or not.

“Cyrus, she won’t jump. I told the Swale family that I would soon replace the evidence that Nathen is alive.Cyrus, she won’t die. Her life is very precious, and she can’t bear to die.”

He had seen Darlene’s eyes. After she learned that she had a suitable heart to be transplanted to her,her eyes and face were filled with joy and expectations.

Who didn’t want to live? Who wanted to jump into the cold, bone-chilling deep sea in such a festivenew year on impulse?

She wouldn’t! She wouldn’t!

Avery shook his head. He let go of Cyrus’ hand and took a few steps back.

When he spoke again, it was as if he was talking in his sleep. “Cyrus, don’t lie to me. I found theevidence to let her survive not because I want her to be grateful to me. If she doesn’t want to see me,I’ll stop showing up before her. Don’t tell me that she’s dead.”

Nathen stood at the door and watched silently. Kelly, who was beside him, pulled him a few times in apanic, but he did not move. He just looked at Avery, who was starting to go crazy from a mentalbreakdown.

For a moment, he had a very strange feeling. When Avery went bananas, he could replace a resonance.

Why did he also feel uncomfortable, as if he could clearly understand Avery’s current despair?

He watched in a daze until Avery staggered out of the factory and then followed Cyrus into the car toconfirm Darlene’s situation by the sea.

On the way here, Nathen thought that Avery had gone too far in kidnapping Kelly this time.

After all, Kelly was his fiancée and the woman he deeply loved for so many years. He definitely couldnot let her suffer such grievances.

But now, he seemed to have forgotten all of these. He watched helplessly as Avery left and even forgotto collect any evidence that could prove that Avery had kidnapped her illegally.

When the car drove far away, Nathen suddenly felt a terrible pain in his heart. That feeling was as ifsomeone had forcibly cut off a piece of his heart.

He was a doctor, and he could understand that it was how a patient suffering from heart diseasesuddenly felt when the disease acted up, but he was very sure that he was healthy.

With a pained expression, he covered his chest and crouched down.

Kelly was completely flustered. She hurriedly called Martin. “Mr. Martin, Dr. Elicott seems to havesuddenly had a stomach attack.

We’re at…”

Avery had already left the abandoned factory. Cyrus followed Avery’s instructions and went to theBeaufort Sea.
