Chapter 31 Darlene Runs Away

Avery looked skeptical. Darlene’s condition these past few days had clearly

been very unstable.

Avery didn’t believe that Darlene didn’t suffer from depression.

Vivian said, “Could it be that you made a mistake? You’ve checked it before

and said that Ms. Garcia had depression. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t have

pushed me.”

As she spoke, she deliberately hinted at the doctor not to speak nonsense in front of Avery.

Ramiro Hansen, the head of the psychology department, continued, “Mr. Gallard, Ms. Sheridan, it’s ourdereliction of duty. Since we know the real

situation, we can’t avoid responsibility and have the obligation to inform the truth to you.”

Avery said impatiently, “Cut it short. Nathen is a surgeon. Even if Darlene is

misdiagnosed with depression, it’s not his fault. What does it have to do with

him?”

“It was our negligence. Nathen’s sister, Leana Elicott, is a doctor in the

psychology department. It was she who diagnosed Ms. Garcia with

psychological depression.

“If we had not heard Leana’s call by chance, we would not have known that

Dr. Elicott asked her to make a fake diagnosis report.”

Avery originally did not believe that Darlene did not suffer from

psychological illness. How could a normal person act so real?

Darlene’s fear and rejection of the outside world showed that she was seriously ill.

But when Avery heard Nathen’s name, he couldn’t calm down.

Ramiro continued, “To be honest, when I first heard it, I didn’t believe it either. Nathen and Leana had agood reputation in the hospital.

“So yesterday morning, I specially arranged a psychological hypnosis diagnosis for Ms. Garcia. Ichecked it myself. Now the results have just come out. Even if Ms. Garcia suffered a psychological blow,she was not so serious

as to suffer from depression.”

Avery looked stern and did not say anything.

Ramiro apologized, “I’m really sorry. It was our fault. It’s just a false alarm.

“We have already suspended the two doctors. If you have any other requests, you can raise them. Wewill try to make up for you.”

Vivian whispered, “Avery, I didn’t want to say it. After all, Ms. Garcia has just been released from prisonand can’t withstand any provocation. But since Dr. Hansen has already said it, I think that I can’t hide

something from you.”

Avery said in a deep voice, “Go ahead.”

Vivian looked embarrassed. “Actually, when I went to Scenery Villa, you were not there, so I wentupstairs to see Ms. Garcia. When I just arrived at the door of the bedroom, I happened to hear her callingDr. Elicott.”

Vivian pretended to hesitate for a long time before whispering, “Ms. Garcia said that she thanked Dr.Elicott much for the psychological diagnosis report. Now that she had been released from prison andNigel could get the heart, she felt it was worth it, although she deliberately allowed Kynlee to hurt her

in prison.”

Avery’s palm suddenly grabbed onto the bedside table, and his face

darkened.

He still felt that something was wrong. Darlene had suffered so many injuries in prison. If she deliberatelyprovoked Kynlee, then Darlene was too

cruel to herself.

As for the fake psychological diagnosis report, Avery remembered that Darlene lost control and smashedthe mirror last night, and he didn’t think that her fear was fake. He didn’t jump to a conclusion. He tookout his phone

and called Darlene.

If Darlene was in the bedroom, her phone could get through. But he didn’t

get through to her.

Avery called the servants at home.

The call was quickly connected. Avery said coldly, “Send Darlene to the hospital right now. Send her tome.”

The servant replied, “Sir, but Ms. Garcia is in the bedroom doing

psychological hypnosis treatment. The psychologist said that no one can go

in and disturb them within an hour.”

Avery frowned. “Dr. Sharpe is still on the plane back to the country. He will only land in Baltimore in theafternoon. How could there be any psychologist?”

The servant was surprised. “But sir, there was indeed a psychologist. He’s a tall young man. He said thathe is the psychologist you hired. He has been

here for almost half an hour.”

Avery immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, “How tall is he? What’s his figure?”

The servant’s voice became uneasy. “He’s about the same height as you, sir.

And he’s not too thin or too fat.”

Avery signaled Cyrus to stay and take care of Vivian with his eyes, and he quickly stepped out of theward and headed for the elevator.

“It’s not Dr. Sharpe. Go to the bedroom and take a look.”

Some noisy and chaotic voices immediately came from the other side of the

line. Soon, the servant’s terrified voice came over.

“Sir, there is no one in the bedroom. Ms. Garcia and that man have

disappeared. There’s a rope on the balcony. They should have escaped from

the balcony.”

Avery’s face was livid. “Call the police and replace them!”

After he got to the underground garage, Avery punched the wall. “Darlene,

how dare you! You are so good at acting. I want to see where you can run to!”

The hospital had just told the truth and said that she didn’t suffer from

psychological illness. But now, she ran away with Nathen. If she was not guilty, why did she run?

The day she was released from prison, Nathen said that Nigel would be sad to

see her like this and transferred Nigel to another hospital.

Avery had agreed at that time. But now, he thought that Darlene and Nathen

had planned this.

First, they let Nigel escape from Avery’s control, and then Darlene escaped.

Reina was almost eighty years old. A cruel woman like Darlene was planning

to ignore her, right?

The more Avery thought about it, the angrier he became. He did not even know that he had run a redlight along the way. He went back and checked

the surveillance cameras in the backyard. It was really Nathen who took

Darlene away.

Avery said angrily, “Get the police to check the surveillance cameras on the road. We have to replace them.Now, prepare to sue Nathen for illegally kidnapping Darlene!”

In the car, Nathen helped Darlene fasten her seat belt and let her sit in the front passenger seat. Then heheaded outside the city center.

Darlene’s mood had not yet recovered, and she was still confused.

Just now, when Nathen went down from the terrace and took her away, coughed up blood again.

Along the way, Darlene spoke intermittently, and Nathen barely knew what

had happened.

He remembered the text message and asked, “Vivian fell from the stairs just before you sent me amessage, right?”

Darlene looked at him in a trance. Those who suffered from depression would occasionally haveemotional agitation, but Darlene slowly recovered

now.

She shook her head. “I didn’t send you a message.”

Nathen was stunned for a moment. “How could that be? So what I received… Forget it. It doesn’t matter.Your current situation is very bad. Whether it is psychological illness or heart disease, you’re seriously ill.You have to stay in the hospital for observation. And it’s dangerous to stay at home.”

Darlene slowly came to her senses and suddenly said anxiously, “Dr. Elicott, I can’t go. If I go, whatabout my brother and grandma? If you take me away,

I will drag you down.”

As soon as she finished speaking, they were rear-ended.
