thrown down. In the end, even the bed sheets that she had slept in were all

thrown down.

Mary raised her head in disbelief and met Avery’s deathly gaze. “Pack

everything up and throw them away. After that, replace Cyrus to receive your

salary and leave.”

Mary said carefully, “Mr. Gallard, Ms. Sheridan has already been given a notice of critical illness by thehospital. She is still in the emergency room. She only has you to rely on.”

Avery took a deep look at her, and without saying a word, he returned to the

master’s bedroom.

He placed Darlene on the bed, closed the curtains, and closed the windows tightly. However, he felt thesound of rain getting louder and louder.

In the end, he realized that it was not the sound of rain. His mind was like a

clock at the entrance of the temple. It was knocked heavily without an end.

Avery didn’t turn on the light in the bedroom. In the dim light, he could not

see Darlene’s deathly pale face. He could only vaguely see her lying there as

if she was asleep.

The bedroom was deathly silent. Avery could hear his heavy breathing. He imagined that it wasDarlene’s breathing on the bed.

Avery thought, Darlene is still alive. She is sleeping soundly and her

breathing is steady.

He sat on the sofa and hid in the dark. It was as if he was back two years ago

when he was in a wheelchair.

At that time, in this bedroom, Darlene brought him warm water to soak his

feet. The water temperature was just right and Darlene added a medicine bag

to the water.

Darlene crouched in front of Avery and said as she washed his fet, “Thave to

gon a business tip tomorrow. I know that you are not used to being taken

care of by others. Don’t worry, will be back two days later and I have picked

the best muse totake care of you.

When Avery had a bad temper, he kicked the water from the basin on her

body and smashed the knife and fork on her face.

However, Darlene never complained. After that the secretly wiped her tears

and looked at him with a smile. “I don’t blame you. If I were paralyzed and

sat in the wheelchair for a year or so, my temper would be worse than

yours.”

Avery remembered so many things in the past. In the past, he always

thought that when he could stand, he would not let Darlene suffer anymore.

But he forgot everything when Vivian came back.

He even almost forced Darlene to death.

Avery bent over and rolled up his trousers.

His legs had already recovered, but there was a deep scar on his calves that extended all the way to hisknees. It didn’t disappear for so many years and

was clearly visible.

Avery remembered that he was sitting in a wheelchair at that time, and every

time Darlene saw this scar, she would feel extremely distressed.

Avery thought, was it because my legs were healed that something changed

between us, so Darlene left?

Avery opened the drawer under the coffee table with shaking hands and took

out a fruit knife from it.

Avery suddenly thought of something. He got up in a hurry and moved the

wheelchair that he had been sitting in before over.

Avery thought, if I can’t walk and need to sit in the wheelchair now, then

Darlene will return.

When Avery thought of this, without any hesitation, he stabbed the fruit

knife deep into that scar.

The scar was scratched, and bright red blood quickly slid down along his leg, dripping onto the beige–colored carpet.

Avery felt that this kind of injury was not serious enough.

He continued to press the knife down, pushing it inward until there was an increasingly large pool ofblood left on the ground. Even the carpet could not

be absorbed and the blood floated on the messy carpet.

The dizziness after losing too much blood began to hit Avery. He was satisfied. His body was tightenedand he struggled to support the armrest of

the wheelchair, letting him sit in it.

Avery pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bed and grabbed Darlene’s‘ hand with his shaking hands.“My leg is injured. I need you to take care of

me.”

The phone that he had left on the bedside table began to ring. It was Vivian

calling him over and over again.

Avery remembered something and reached out to take the phone. He pressed

the answer button and used a speakerphone.

On the other side of the phone, Vivian said anxiously, “Avery, I am outside your home. I am very worriedabout you. Can you let me come in and take a

look at you…”

Before she finished her words, Avery grabbed Darlene’s hand and interrupted Vivian. “Let’s split up. Weare not suitable.”

Vivian had never expected that Avery could be so heartless one day.

She tightened her grip on her phone. She still wanted to say something, but

Avery had already hung up.

Avery leaned over to Darlene. “There is no one else here. I have driven them

away. In the future, there will only be the two of us here. It will be the same

as before.”

A bone–piercing pain surged from his legs. Avery said hoarsely, “Darlene, you can’t be so cruel. Youshould at least look at me again.”

Blood dyed a large carpet red.

Avery was in a coma. With a bang, he fell to the ground with his wheelchair.

The bedroom fell into silence. When the phone screen lit up, a text message popped up. “Mr. Gallard,Ms. Sheridan went to the hospital rooftop and wanted to jump!”
