A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 250

Chapter 250 She Won’t Die

“Ms. Garcia jumped into the sea and died.”

That sentence suddenly came without any warning. Cyrus held the phone and completely froze there.

Darnell did not wait for him to respond and directly hung up the phone. There was a “beep” sound from the phone.

Cyrus’ hand shook. When the phone almost fell to the ground, he suddenly came back to his senses. Apart from disbelief, there was also great horror on his face.

Cyrus wondered, dead! Darlene’s dead.

Then what about Mr. Gallard? He just happened to find the evidence that Nathen is alive, but Darlene was dead. How could he accept this fact?

Cyrus stood at the door. He slowly put down the phone that was held up to his ear and turned back to look inside.

His glance met Avery’s eyes.

At this moment, Avery looked joyful, relaxed, and satisfied.

Avery knew that after Cyrus called, the news that Nathen was still alive had definitely spread to the Swale family and Gustave. Naturally, Darlene would know it.

As long as Darlene knew that Nathen was still alive, wouldn’t the overwhelming guilt in his heart be resolved?

Nathen stood not far from Avery and was still being controlled by the bodyguards. He looked at Kelly who sat on the ground with her hands tied with concern.

Nathen looked worried and angry. He said coldly, “Avery, I don’t want to waste too much time on you. Let Kelly go. Just tell me what you want.”

Avery smiled and got up. The gloom all over his body was gone. “There’s nothing else I want. Thank you for making a trip, Dr. Elicott. Take her back.

“Oh, but her surname is not Garcia. I don’t care about other things, but she doesn’t deserve to use this surname. Ms. Elto, change your surname earlier.”

Kelly’s face was pale, and there was a panic in her eyes that was difficult to hide. “I don’t know what you are talking about. Dr. Elicott, can we go back now? I am a little afraid.”

Avery signaled the bodyguards to let go. The bodyguards immediately let go of Nathen.

Nathen rushed over and helped Kelly up.

In the end, he could not hold back his anger and immediately promised, “Don’t be afraid.

This matter is not over. I will contact the

police and ask them to punish him. I will not let you be bullied for nothing.

Kelly knew that Avery knew her true identity. She was not sure how much information

Avery had in his hands. She said with an uneasy expression, “Dr. Elicott, I am fine.

Let’s go back. Let’s not pursue it.”

Avery sneered. He still wanted to mock her. Cyrus hesitated for a moment outside the door. He walked over and whispered beside Avery.

“Mr. Gallard, Darnell, Mr. Walpole’s driver, just said over the phone that Ms. Garcia jumped into the Beaufort Sea by the cliff in the middle of the night last night. I’m afraid… she passed away.”

Avery had wanted to mock Kelly, but his words were stuck in his throat. The mocking smile on his face was still there, but he no longer moved at all.

He looked at Nathen holding Kelly as they walked outside. When Nathen walked to the door, he asked Cyrus, “What?”

Cyrus’ voice trembled a little. “Ms. Garcia jumped into the sea… and seemed to have passed away.”

“Are you kidding me? Didn’t you send it over?” Avery’s voice was very calm, so calm that it was as if he was extremely sure that Cyrus was talking nonsense. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

But after he said that, his expression quickly changed. It became extremely violent and ugly.

He suddenly turned to look at Cyrus, who was silent. Then he reached out and grabbed Cyrus by the collar, pushing him into a corner.

“Where is the video I asked you to send?

Where is the video showing Nathen is still alive? Nathen is still alive, so why did she jump? Cyrus, do you think there is something wrong with her brain, or do you think there is something wrong with my brain?”

Nathen, who had walked to the door, paused the moment he heard this sentence.

He heard Avery mention his name, but it seemed that this name had a completely different meaning from what was in his memory.

Just like now, Avery clearly said that Nathen was still alive, but he could not understand what Avery meant at all.

Kelly, who was beside him, was urging him to hurry up, but Nathen did not move anymore. He turned around and looked at Avery, his face full of doubt and confusion.

Cyrus was fiercely strangled by Avery. His mouth trembled as he struggled to say, “Mr. Gallard, it’s too late. It’s almost four o’clock in the morning. Ms. Garcia jumped into the sea at midnight.”

Avery fiercely exerted strength in his palm, venting the great uneasiness and panic that surged within his heart to the man in front of him.

It was as if as long as he used a bit more strength, Cyrus would definitely admit that those words were all lies.

He stared fixedly at Cyrus and hissed, “I’m not a fool! I’m not a fool! What kind of trick is this? Impossible! What a big joke!”

Cyrus panicked. There were no other people from the Gallard family here, nor were there any doctors. This was not the hospital. He was worried that something would happen to Avery if he lost control of himself like this.

He could only try to appease Avery. “Mr. Gallard, you are right. That might not be the case. The rescue ships are still searching on the sea. Perhaps Ms. Garcia is lucky. Maybe she is still…”

Avery did not have such an unrealistic hope.

The Beaufort Sea was vast. The cliff was dozens of feet high, and it had been four hours. It was simply a pipe dream for her to be found alive.

His voice was low, and after he went bananas, he slowly came back to his senses.

His eyes were slowly filled with begging and fear as he didn’t dare to confirm whether it was true or not.

“Cyrus, she won’t jump. I told the Swale family that I would soon find the evidence that Nathen is alive. Cyrus, she won’t die. Her life is very precious, and she can’t bear to die.”

He had seen Darlene’s eyes. After she learned that she had a suitable heart to be transplanted to her, her eyes and face were filled with joy and expectations.

Who didn’t want to live? Who wanted to jump into the cold, bone-chilling deep sea in such a festive new year on impulse?

She wouldn’t! She wouldn’t!

Avery shook his head. He let go of Cyrus’ hand and took a few steps back.

When he spoke again, it was as if he was talking in his sleep. “Cyrus, don’t lie to me. I found the evidence to let her survive not because I want her to be grateful to me. If she doesn’t want to see me, I’ll stop showing up before her. Don’t tell me that she’s dead.”

Nathen stood at the door and watched silently. Kelly, who was beside him, pulled him a few times in a panic, but he did not move. He just looked at Avery, who was starting to go crazy from a mental breakdown.

For a moment, he had a very strange feeling. When Avery went bananas, he could find a resonance.

Why did he also feel uncomfortable, as if he could clearly understand Avery’s current despair?

He watched in a daze until Avery staggered out of the factory and then followed Cyrus into the car to confirm Darlene’s situation by the sea.

On the way here, Nathen thought that Avery had gone too far in kidnapping Kelly this time.

After all, Kelly was his fiancée and the woman he deeply loved for so many years. He definitely could not let her suffer such grievances.

But now, he seemed to have forgotten all of these. He watched helplessly as Avery left and even forgot to collect any evidence that could prove that Avery had kidnapped her illegally.

When the car drove far away, Nathen suddenly felt a terrible pain in his heart. That feeling was as if someone had forcibly cut off a piece of his heart.

He was a doctor, and he could understand that it was how a patient suffering from heart disease suddenly felt when the disease acted up, but he was very sure that he was healthy.

With a pained expression, he covered his chest and crouched down.

Kelly was completely flustered. She hurriedly called Martin. “Mr. Martin, Dr. Elicott seems to have suddenly had a stomach attack.

We’re at…”

Avery had already left the abandoned factory. Cyrus followed Avery’s instructions and went to the Beaufort Sea.
