Chapter 86 What Goes Around Comes Around

Darlene sat by the bed and played with her phone. When she heard this, she looked up at him. “You canthink about it, or maybe I really did it. Since you asked me, that should be what you mean, right?”

“You know very well that I am not doubting you.” Avery frowned.

“The police have checked the car. The brake should have been touched by someone, and it is almostcompletely damaged. When I was driving, at first it was not broken. But when I stepped on the brake atthe intersection, it broke.”

Darlene let out an “oh”. She was obviously not interested in studying this issue.

People like Avery, who were scheming in the business field, had offended many people, so it was notimpossible for them to secretly attack Avery.

Darlene only felt regretful that Avery was actually fine.

Avery stared at Darlene. “You really don’t have any ideas?”

“Do you really want to listen to my thoughts?” Darlene had been constantly questioned by Avery andcould not write the script, so she simply put her phone aside and planned

to have a chat with Avery.

Avery immediately nodded, waiting for her to continue.

Darlene looked at him in silence for a long time. “Avery, you have done too many bad things. It is betterto walk less at night.

“Today is a cloudy day, and the weather is not good. Although there is no thunder, you should go outless. Don’t you replace that as long as there is a car in front of you, the brake will always break?”

This time, it was his own car that the brake was broken. The last time they went to the hospital late atnight, they bumped into Nathen’s car and broke the brake.

If not because Avery was too unlucky, Darlene really could not think of any other reason to explain thesecoincidences.

The anticipation on Avery’s face turned into disappointment. He was so angry at her logic that he couldnot speak for a long time.

Darlene picked up her phone and stood up. “Are you done? If you are done, I will leave. Since you areinjured, you can stay there. I will go upstairs.”

Avery pulled her arm with a dark face. “You reminded me of something. I heard that Nathen happened tobe in this hospital today. Last time, it was him too. I don’t believe. that there was such a coincidence.”

Darlene had not thought of this. Avery was in a car accident, but she did not think of

Nathen.

But now that Avery said this, she suddenly remembered that when Nathen left her ward upstairs, thenurse asked him where he went.

Darlene thought back to the time. The nurse said that at one o’clock in the afternoon, the family of thepatient had looked for Nathen and did not replace Nathen.

Thinking about this, and then thinking that Nathen was so close to her when she just woke up andNathen had a strange look in his eyes, something Darlene thought was impossible appeared in her mind,and she was suddenly frightened.

Speaking of the last time, late at night, Nathen almost crashed into Avery’s car so coincidentally. Nowthat Darlene thought about it, there was really something wrong.

Darlene always felt that she was familiar with Nathen’s character. They had known each other for toomany years. These years, Nathen had helped her a lot, and Nathen’s personality had always beengentle and measured.

But at that moment, Darlene suddenly felt that she could not see through that person.

Avery’s eyes darkened. “Darlene, do you doubt him too? I feel more and more that Nathen is veryabnormal. If it really has something to do with him this time, I will never

forget it. I think there is a high possibility that there is a problem with his mental

health.”

Darlene thought about those things in her mind, and when she came back to her senses, she retorted, “Ithink there is a problem with your mental health. Dr. Elicott is working in the hospital. He has beenstaying in the hospital today.

Every year, the doctors would have a regular medical examination, including a psychologicalexamination. It is impossible for the hospital not to know that he has a problem, if he does have anyproblems.”

No matter how Avery thought about it, Avery always felt that there was something wrong with the man.“Psychological examination is not a problem for him. Leana is a

of psychologist. As long as Nathen is not stupid, he could completely know the process mentalexamination and the questions that should be asked.

“Mental examination is different from other physical examinations. It is not impossible to disguise himselfand get through the mental examination”

Darlene looked at him mockingly. “You are very experienced. All these years, your mental status hasbeen checked to be normal. Did you disguise yourself like this?”

Just as Darlene finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Nathen’s voice. “Darlene,are you inside? I heard from the nurse that you have been transferred to this ward. You need to put onan intravenous drip in the afternoon.

Avery became angry when he heard Nathen’s voice. “Look, he’s just pretending to be calm. I’m sure thathe has something to do with the brakes.”

Darlene sneered. “If Dr. Elicott didn’t come, you

would say

that he ran away because he

had a guilty conscience, right?”

Darlene walked to the door and opened it. “I’m here.”

Nathen came in from outside and looked at Avery who was lying on the bed. “Is Mr.

Gallard also sick?”

Avery looked displeased and ignored Nathen.

Nathen glanced around the ward and continued, “There is only one ward bed here.

except for an escort bed. The quilt on the escort bed is temporary and a little thin. If Ms. Garcia alsostays here, I will change the quilt for her later.”

Avery’s voice immediately became strange. “Is Dr. Elicott so idle? There are many wards here. Why don’tyou change the quilt for all those wards?”

Nathen explained with an awkward expression, “Ms. Garcia is a patient. The patient has a weakerresistance than ordinary people and is easily afraid of the cold. If Mr. Gallard feels that it is notnecessary, I won’t change it.”

Avery did not know why, but he felt that Nathen’s words were particularly harsh. Before Avery couldspeak, Darlene said coldly, “Dr. Elicott has good intentions. He does not owe you. Avery, can you stoplooking for trouble?”

Avery was extremely angry. “I’m looking for trouble? Dr. Elicott, where did you stay in the afternoon? Letme think. It’s about one o’clock in the afternoon. Is Dr. Elicott taking a break or working?”

Nathen looked at him in confusion. “I was busy at the hospital today. I didn’t take a break at noon. I wentto Mr. Dudley’s office and have been working. Why does Mr. Gallard ask this?”

Avery obviously did not believe it. “Is that so? What time did you go to Mr. Dudley’s office and what didyou do?”

Darlene said angrily, “Avery, don’t go too far without proof!”

Nathen looked at Darlene strangely and smiled. “What do you mean without proof? What is going on?”

Darlene took the list in Nathen’s hand and said, “Dr. Elicott, I know that I still have to take a drip in theafternoon. You can just ask the nurse to do it later.

“I will replace the staff to change the quilt myself. He has a problem with his psychology, so he said so manystrange words. You can go to work first.”

Avery said in a deep voice, “Who is the one with a psychological problem? Darlene, are you sure thatyou want to protect him again and again?

“With the criminal record of being previously arrested by the police station, he can still easily change to ahospital to work. Dr. Elicott, is your background really that simple?”
