Chapter 160 His Breathing Is Weak

The two women in the elevator were originally nervous and scared because the elevator suddenly malfunctioned.

Now, one of them suddenly felt a hand touching her. The woman screamed, “What are you doing? Rogue, bastard, you look handsome. I didn’t expect you to be such a person!” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Avery felt dizzy, and his consciousness became blurry. He forced himself to say, “Darlene, get closer to me. Come to me.”

He was still squatting in the corner of the elevator. He vaguely felt that the person next to him was Darlene, and he reached out to the woman’s arm again.

The woman next to Avery even forgot her fear. In the dark, she directly raised her high heels, kicked him, and took a few steps away.

“Don’t mess around. We’re warning you! Although the elevator has malfunctioned, there are surveillance cameras inside. The cameras are capturing your motions clearly.”

The two women were so obsessed with Avery just now. They didn’t expect him to be this

kind of man.

They cursed at the same time, and suddenly, with a bang, someone fell to the ground.

The elevator fell into dead silence in an instant. After a long time, a woman said in terror, “It seems that someone fell to the ground. Could it be… something happened?”

The other woman calmed down a little and said with some doubt, “His voice just now

sounded abnormal.

“I heard before that some people had claustrophobia. Being locked in such a dark and enclosed space, they will be very emotional. They might even be suffocated to death in a short period.”

As soon as she finished her words, the woman next to her immediately took a step back in fear, her voice shaking so much that it was almost impossible to hear clearly. “I said that we should not go out today.

“What should we do? It’s okay that we are trapped in the elevator. Yet if something happens to him, we will be unable to get rid of the responsibility.

“I’m done for. I even kicked him just now. I’m afraid there’re surveillance cameras here.

If something really happens to this man, his family won’t sue me, will they?”

The more the woman spoke, the more terrified she felt. She recalled what Avery had looked like when they had just entered the elevator.

He was well–dressed and had an extraordinary air about him. It was likely that his background was not simple. The woman thought, if something happens to this man here, will his powerful family blame me?

Her heart was in a mess. She did not have the courage to approach Avery. She could only use her elbow to nudge her companion beside her. “Elisa, you are bold. Why don’t you.

check his breathing? I can’t even hear his breathing. Is he dead?”

As she spoke, she was about to cry. “I’m screwed. I’m not even thirty. I haven’t even had a boyfriend yet. I don’t want to go to jail.”

Elisa interrupted her, “Alright, alright. Don’t make it sound like you’re mourning. Maybe he just fainted because he is too timid. Some men are so timid. Let me take a

look.”

As she spoke, Elisa moved closer and squatted down to touch Avery’s nose. After a

while, she did not say a word.

The woman behind Elisa was so anxious that she said in a broken voice, “Is he still breathing? Say something.”

Elisa retracted her hand and stood up. Her voice was a little heavy. “The situation is not good. His breathing is a little weak. I think I guessed right. There must be someone outside trying to repair the elevator. We can only wait.”

Outside the elevator, Andrew quickly rushed over with a cane. Beside him was Katrina.

Because Lucian was sick and the Gallard family had a good relationship with the Swale family, Andrew came over to visit Lucian.

Andrew saw a commotion in the hospital. They said that the elevator had

malfunctioned. After checking the elevator, they found out that the people trapped inside were actually Avery and two strange women.

Andrew was so worried that he couldn’t even walk steadily. When he rushed outside the elevator, his entire body was trembling because of anxiety. Andrew couldn’t care about anything else. He urgently ordered the maintenance workers and the hospital director,

“Hurry up and think of a way. Avery has claustrophobia. If anything happens when he is trapped inside, your hospital will have to bear all the responsibility.”

The director was scared to the point that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He wondered why Avery had been trapped inside.

If something really happened, even though the boss behind the hospital was the Elicott family, it would not be easy to deal with the aftermath.

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the elevator, and the hospital could only form a cordon, keeping the unrelated people outside.

Besides them, Katrina looked at the elevator surveillance video and clearly saw the two women who had entered the same elevator as Avery.

She took a closer look and said in surprise, “I know this person. She’s Elisa, right? She’s a photographer of some renown and Darlene’s high school classmate. Why are she and Avery trapped?”

Katrina paused. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gallard. I shouldn’t have said say such useless things at a critical moment.”

Andrew originally did not think about it, but after hearing what Katrina said, he remembered that Darlene had sued for divorce today.

Andrew had just received the news that Darlene had asked Gustave to prepare a large amount of evidence. If the evidence was spread out, it would be enough to destroy Avery

and even the entire Gallard family.

Fortunately, Malcolm was experienced and denied all the evidence. In the end, Avery

won the lawsuit.

This was a coincidence. Darlene was also in the hospital now. Avery had not

encountered an elevator malfunction for so many years, and it just so happened that he encountered it today.

This hospital was the Elicott family’s property. The last time Nathen was at the Gallard’s home, it was obvious that his relationship with Darlene was not simple.

Andrew was angry and anxious, he fiercely slammed his cane on the ground a few times. “This ungrateful woman! The Gallard family has really supported her for so many years. How could she do that?

“If something really happens to Avery, I will teach her a good lesson!”

Katrina pretended to be amazed. “Mr. Gallard, what are you talking about? Avery is trapped in the elevator because it malfunctioned. What does it have to do with Darlene?

“I just happened to see a familiar face in the surveillance video. It was someone I knew, so I casually said that.”

Andrew’s expression was tense. “The elevator malfunctioned? The elevators in this hospital have not malfunctioned for many years. There are four elevators here, and this one just happened to have a problem. I don’t believe that there was such a coincidence in

this world.”

It took nearly twenty minutes for the maintenance worker to finally open the elevator

door.

One of the women inside was so scared that she crouched on the ground, unable to get up. Avery was already unconscious on the ground.

Elisa was relatively calm. When the door opened, she immediately said in a low voice, “This gentleman is unconscious. His breathing is weak, and he needs urgent

treatment.”

The doctors and nurses immediately carried Avery to the wheeled bed and took him away. Andrew followed them and glanced coldly at the two women who had come out of the elevator. He ordered the bodyguards at the side, “Take them away.”

Elisa’s expression changed, and she said coldly, “What right do you have to take us away?”

Andrew sneered, “What right? I will tell you slowly later.”

He then followed the wheeled bed in front of him.

Avery, who was on the bed, was still struggling to speak. “Darlene, Darlene…”

Andrew’s expression was sullen. “At this time, you are still thinking about that heartless woman! Rachel, bring Darlene here for me. I should settle scores with her

today.”
