A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 You Know Exactly Who Did It

“Mr. Gallard is right. There is indeed no hospital that is willing to accept a doctor with a criminal record like me.” Nathen had a displeased expression on his face.

“It is rare that Mr. Dudley thinks highly of me and gave me a chance to work here. I went to look for him at noon to thank him for this matter.”

Avery sneered. “Everything you said sounds perfect. If you want to thank Mr. Dudley, why did you go to thank him this afternoon? Why didn’t you go earlier?”

Darlene wanted to stop Avery from continuing, but Nathen spoke again, “I really don’t understand why Mr. Gallard, you suddenly became dissatisfied with me, and you still keep asking me about my whereabouts today.

“But I just started working here today. I chose to go to Mr. Dudley’s office at noon because it was rest time. As for why Mr. Gallard said it was so coincidental, I don’t know what kind of coincidence it is.”

Avery obviously could not remain calm, especially when he looked at Darlene, who was anxious to protect Nathen. Avery’s unwillingness to give up surged up.

“Dr. Elicott, do you think that I can’t do anything just because the surveillance in the underground parking lot is damaged…”

Darlene coldly interrupted Avery, “Avery, don’t say such disgusting words here. If you can, go and bring the evidence first. After putting the evidence here, you can start your

ridiculous speculation.”

Nathen seemed to have understood something. He looked at the wound on Avery’s face and the bandage on Avery’s right arm. “After saying so much, is Mr. Gallard suspicious. of me because he was injured?”

Nathen closed the medical record folder in his hand, and his fingertips tapped on it lightly. He was obviously suppressing his emotions. “Then I have really let Mr. Gallard

overestimate me.”

Darlene felt apologetic. Although Avery’s nonsense had nothing to do with her, it was also because of her that the matter would involve Nathen.

Darlene lowered her voice and apologized, “Dr. Elicott, sorry that we troubled you. His words are nonsense. You can go back to your work first. Take it while listening to a

mosquito’s buzz.”

Nathen’s expression was not good. After a moment of silence, he looked at Darlene. “This matter really has nothing to do with me.”

Darlene nodded. “I know. Of course, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t take it to heart. Go and do your work first. He is just talking nonsense. It is not worth arguing with someone like him.”

Avery was so angry that his face was tense. “Darlene, what do

you

mean?”

A nurse came in to call Nathen. Darlene repeated, “Dr. Elicott, you go to work first. I’m really sorry for causing you trouble.”

Nathen frowned slightly, but he did not say anything more and went out first.

After returning to his office, Nathen closed the door and leisurely sorted out the medical records of the patient whose wards he was going to check.

Nathen clenched his palm and pressed it on the desk. His clenched knuckles made at light sound, and a smile appeared on his lips.

So what if he was suspicious of me? What was the use of talking without proof?

It would only make Darlene feel even more disgusted that he, Avery, was being

unreasonable.

In the sick room, Avery still couldn’t suppress his anger.

As soon as Cyrus came over, he ordered in a cold voice, “Find a way to get the

surveillance camera out, Even though the surveillance in the underground parking lot is

broken, we can always find clues. I don’t believe that it really has nothing to do with

Nathen. It was him last time.”

Cyrus nodded and agreed. “Sir, I will try my best to find a way.”

Darlene said coldly from the side, “If you want to accuse one of the crimes, you can always find a way. If you want to put the blame on Dr. Elicott, you will always be able to. find some clues related to him to testify against him. Even if you can’t find it, you can make it up.”

Avery looked at Darlene with anger, and after a moment, he said, “Cyrus, you can leave

first.”

When Cyrus went out, Avery stared at Darlene. “You don’t want me to investigate because you know who did it.”

you Darlene did not look at him. “I don’t know what you are saying. Whether investigate or not is your business. If the brake breaks, it may not be someone who did it on purpose. As for Dr. Elicott, he is not so bored.”

Avery sneered, “Don’t shirk for him. Darlene, I can stop investigating this matter. Since I was not seriously injured, I can let it go. But the premise is that he won’t do it again

next time.

“And I have conditions. You need to stay here to treat the illness and cooperate with Mr.

Dawson’s treatment plan.”

Darlene’s face was still cold, but her fingers were subconsciously curled up. In all fairness, after experiencing so many things, she had to begin to suspect that there was something wrong with Nathen.

But no matter how problematic Nathen was, he had never hurt Darlene, and he had helped Darlene and Nigel a lot over the years.

If not for the medicine that Nathen prescribed, it would have been a problem whether she, Darlene, could survive until today.

Therefore, deep down, Darlene did not want anything to happen to Nathen.

Avery reached out and grabbed Darlene’s curled-up hand. When she frowned and was about to pull it back, he clenched his palm tightly.

“Darlene, many people are not as simple as you think. I found something. Nathen’s

background may not be simple.

“Even Nathen, who you have known for so many years, you may not know his real

background, let alone Gustave. And we have known each other for at least ten years. I’m

the one who won’t do you any harm.”

Darlene was disgusted and tried to pull her hand back. “Let go!”

Avery wanted to negotiate with her properly. He did not want to continue this kind of Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

confrontation.

Avery softened his tone and said, “I’ve thought about it. Sometimes, I was controlling too much about you. There are a lot of things that I don’t do well. That’s why you feel uncomfortable.

“I won’t interfere too much with your matters from now on. As for the matter of you selling Gustave the copyrights to TV series and writing the script for him, I won’t oppose it. You should take good care of yourself. I respect what you mean.”

Darlene felt that it was ridiculous. “Respect? It’s actually such a rare word from your

mouth.”

Avery restrained his displeasure. “In short, no one is perfect. I can change the things that I didn’t do well. I don’t know if you and Mr. Dawson are hiding anything from me, but from today onwards, you have to take good care of your health.

“Since Mr. Dawson suggested changing the heart, I am also thinking of a way to find it for you. If you change your heart earlier, everything between us will slowly get better.”

As soon as Avery finished speaking, there were two knocks on the door. Andrew directly brought Vivian in.

Looking at Avery, Andrew said, “Come out for a moment. I have a few words with you.”
