Chapter 83 Avery Provokes Darlene

Darlene’s breathing was heavy, and she anxiously wanted to retreat again.

The wound and blood on Avery’s neck were extremely glaring. At that moment, he was completely amadman who had lost his mind.

Avery let the blood flow down. When Darlene retreated again, he reached out and pressed down on hershoulder.

“Why can’t you be more ruthless? Didn’t you hate me so much that you wanted to kill. me? You even feltsick seeing me. What are you worried about?”

Darlene anxiously reached out to push him away. Her left hand was still on the drip. When she moved,the needle was pulled.

Avery pressed her left wrist against the bed. He did not let her hand move, and he still stared at her. “Igave you a chance. But you did not dare to kill me.

“Darlene, there is no second chance. As long as I am alive, I will never let you go. You should stay andtell me what you want to do. I can try my best to satisfy you.”

When he finished speaking, he added, “Don’t tell me to let you go again. You know it is impossible. Iwon’t let you go.

“Do you believe me? One day, I will definitely be able to replace your younger brother. When I say I cancompensate you, then I will definitely do it.”

Due to her excited emotions, Darlene’s voice was extremely hoarse. “Don’t mention my younger brother.You don’t deserve to mention him!”

Avery’s hands, which were pressing against her shoulder, trembled a little as he approached her. “Youare the one who forced me to mention them. It has been so long.

Have you ever let go of them?”

Mr. Mcmahon said, “It was strange about your brother falling from that room. Your brother might notreally be dead. I might be able to replace him.

“As for the miscarriage, the child was only two months old, and it has not taken shape. Moreover, withyour condition, you have to take medicine for heart disease every day. Even if I let you keep the child,can the fetus stay?”

“Shameless!” Darlene trembled violently, her eyes red, and she raised her right hand to

slap him.

The blood that flowed down from his neck had drenched Avery’s shirt, and now he felt pain fromreceiving a slap on his face.

Avery did not have much of a reaction, and he continued to stare at her. “I admit what I have done, butwas it all my fault?

“There are so many suspicious points as for the matter of your younger brother falling off the building.The murderer has yet to be found, but you look at me with hate as I

have killed him.

“I signed to abort the child, but was it completely decided by me?”

Every word he said was like a knife cutting through her through. He lightly got rid of the responsibility.

Darlene was so angry that she wanted to get out of bed to pick up the fruit knife. If he gave her anotherchance, she would definitely kill him.

She clenched her fists tightly and stared at the knife that had fallen to the ground. She wanted to pushAvery away to pick it up.

Avery kicked the knife away and increased the strength of his hands pressing against her shoulders. “Isaid before. You only have one chance to kill me.

“From now on, just stay by my side. I won’t treat you unfairly anymore, but I won’t let you have thechance to run away.”

He let go of his hands and bent over to pick up the fruit knife on the ground. When he got up to go out,he staggered because of the loss of blood.

He used his thumb to lightly scrape the blade with his finger. The fruit knife was very sharp, and theblood stained his finger.

Avery walked to the end of the bed and played with the fruit knife in his hand. He turned around andlooked at Darlene on the bed. “You can’t even kill me with such a sharp

knife. Darlene, do you really have no feelings for me?”

Darlene’s eyes were red as she threw the phone in her hand at him. “Get out!”

put

Avery quickly reached out and grabbed the phone that she had thrown at him. He back on the quilt, andfor some reason, his voice was tinged with joy. “It’s just a small

it

fight. You don’t bear to kill me.”

Darlene was so angry that her heart hurt badly. She wanted to reach out to pull out the needle and getout of bed. Avery finally stopped provoking her. He turned around and walked out of the ward. “Youshould rest. I’ll go out first. I won’t be coming in for a

while.”

The sound of something smashing on the ground came from the ward. Avery did not

gone look back and walked out of the ward. The confidence he had just had seemed to be

in an instant.

He held onto the wall in the corridor and took a deep breath. He could not tell if it was pain or exhaustion.

Things still came to this. If not for that knife, he probably wouldn’t even see her angry

appearance anymore.

The lifeless Darlene hurt him. Only when she stabbed the knife in his neck could he feel

that she was still alive.

Recently, he had an illusion that Darlene was no longer the one he was familiar with.

Cyrus and the doctor were waiting outside. They were anxious. Seeing Avery come out, theyimmediately surrounded him.

“Sir, let the doctor take you to treat your wound first.”

The doctor at the side immediately replied, “Mr. Gallard, follow me this way. This wound is not shallow.You have to treat it as soon as possible. If you lose too much blood, you might need a transfusion.”

Avery was a little dazed. He did not say a word and followed the doctor to the other side

of the corridor.

Halfway there, Avery turned around and looked at Cyrus, who was following him.

“Don’t follow me. Go outside the ward and look after her.”

Cyrus nodded with some worry and returned to Darlene’s ward.

When the wound was treated, Andrew called to ask Avery whether he still cared about

the company.

Andrew scolded, “If you continue to ignore the company, I think the business, which I

have been working on for years, will be destroyed in your hands!

“Just tell me if you will take care of the company. There are so many problems in the company, and theemployees even called me. If you can’t deal with it, I will let Erick handle the matter!”

Erick had been coveting Avery’s position for all these years, but he got nothing in the end after he hadfought with Avery for so many years.

If Erick could not get it with proper means, he could only slander Avery in front of Andrew and fan theflames.

Avery recalled that he had indeed not been to the company for a few days because Darlene had beenhospitalized.

He replied, “I’ll go over in the afternoon.”

Andrew was still furious. Avery directly hung up the phone and instructed the servants to stay and watchDarlene. He had to leave.

When he was in a bad mood, he liked to drive alone and did not let Cyrus follow him. When Avery arrivedat the underground garage, he saw a man wearing a black shirt and a mask in the distance. He walkedaround in front of Avery’s car and left, and his appearance was a little strange.

Avery took another look at him, but he was still thinking about Darlene, so he did not. pay much attentionto it.

He got in the car and drove away from the underground parking lot. He felt that something was wrong.

It was noon,

and there were not many cars on the road.

After Avery passed an intersection, the signal light turned red, and he stepped on the brake to stop thecar. Only then did he know what was wrong.

He stepped on the brake and the car slowed down a little, but the car could not stop. It drove through thestop line and quickly went to the intersection.

Because of the wound on his neck, Avery was a little dizzy, and his reaction was slow.

A truck from left to right rushed over. After a sharp whistle, the truck driver stepped on

the brake, but it still hit Avery’s car because of inertia.
