A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Itâs Hard to Make It Through
The servant of the Elicott family never expected Avery, who had always been proud, to do that on such
a snowy day.
Avery was always tough. If the servant had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that.
The servant was at a loss and didnât know what to do. âMr. Gallard, I have passed on the message.
âYou also know Mr. Elicott is sad after his grandson died. Itâs not that he does not want to see you but
that he doesnât want to see anyone.â
Avery begged in the snow, âPlease tell Mr. Elicott the hospital has issued a notice of critical illness for
Darlene. Although I have made a mistake and shouldnât be here, I could only ask Mr. Elicott for help.â
In the dark and cold night, there came a tired and sarcastic voice inside the door. âWhat do you ask me
to do? Do you ask me to tell Darlene that her heart was not donated by Nathen?
âIs it not enough for Nathen to donate his heart to her? Does she have to accept it without any guilt or
gratitude?â
Avery looked over. Not far away, Martin walked over with a cane.
Dressed in black, Martin had a cold expression and was supported by Frank to the iron gate.
After what happened in the Elicott family, Martine sent away most of the servants in the old house,
leaving a few to help with what was necessary.
Therefore, many things had been neglected. The snow accumulated outside the gate had not yet been
cleaned up.
At that moment, Avery stayed in the thick snow.
Martin walked closer and said coldly, âOff you go. I wonât agree. Darlene has taken Nathenâs life. If she
can bear it, just bear it. If she canât, I will take it as she gives it back to Nathen.
âThe Elicott family has not pursued your responsibility, but I am not kind enough to make further
compromises.â
Martin turned to leave, but Avery said in a hurry, âI owe the Elicott family. Mr. Elicott, I can pay you back
any way you want.
âHowever, Darlene did not know about it at the beginning. She could not bear such a result now. The
doctor said she would have a hard time getting over this.
âMr. Elicott, please hide the truth from Darlene so that she could get through. No matter what request
you make, I will try to satisfy you.â
Martin turned around and looked at Avery with burning eyes. Then, he sneered, âI am not interested in
that. Donât dream about it.â
Avery clenched his fists and said, âIf you feel that Darlene owes Nathen a life, I can pay my life back.â
Martin seemed to have heard a joke. He laughed, but his eyes turned red.
After a long while, Martin continued in a cold voice, âYour life? Mr. Gallard, can your life make Nathen
revive? Otherwise, your life is worthless to me.â
Martin stared coldly at Avery. âYou have overestimated yourself. Who do you think you are? Even if you
die here, it has nothing to do with me and the Elicott family.â
Avery trembled. Knowing Martin had made up his mind, he couldnât say a word.
Nathen had dead. He was Martinâs only grandson, which meant the Elicott family would have no more
descendants.
Avery realized his life was useless in front of those facts.
Martin walked in and coldly instructed the servant, âI wonât see him again.â
Martin returned to the living room. The elders of the Elicott family had left.
Leana had not come back yet. She begged the police to let her see the people from the black market.
She wanted to know the whereabouts of Nathenâs body.
However, her efforts were in vain.
Martin frowned subconsciously when he saw Nathenâs photo in the living room.
He had to pretend it was true, but the photo looked unpleasant.
Martin instructed Frank, âPut the photo away and tell the elders of the Elicott family that they donât need
to come again.
âThe others donât need to come either. Tell them the funeral wonât be held because we havenât found
Nathenâs body.â
Frank nodded and took the photo away.
Thinking of Avery, who was still outside, Frank ventured, âMr. Elicott, Darlene is someone Mr. Nathen
risked his life to protect.
âShe is kind-hearted. If she gets excited after the operation, something unexpected might happen. How
about talking with Ms. Garcia as Mr. Gallard wished? Just take it as one more good deed.â
After all, Nathen had been saved and was not dead.
Martin became angry. âFrank, you have stayed by Nathenâs side for years. Taking that into
consideration, I will ignore what you have said. However, donât say it again.
âThe Elicott family has done so many good deeds for years. What have we gotten in return? Do you
think I am cruel?â
Martin clenched the cane in his hand. Because of his hatred, blue veins stood out on the back of his
hand.
âNathen made such a choice because he cared about Darlene. Besides, he had a psychological illness.
Therefore, he didnât even care about his life. What about the others?
âBefore the heart donation surgery, Sandra, Katrina, and Avery knew it. Gustave was shrewd and might
know it
Martinâs voice began to tremble. âThe Bullock family, the Swale family, the Walpole family, and the
Gallard family all have a relationship with the Elicott family. However, they all watched Nathen die and
kept me in the dark.
âFrank, from the moment Nathen was injected with an anesthetic and laid unconscious on the operating
table, he was dead. It is indisputable that they sinned by deliberately hiding something from me.
âFrank, it is impossible for me to be soft-hearted and sympathize with them.â
Frank lowered his head and dared not to say a word.
Martin said coldly, âFrom now on, Nathen is dead. I would never lie about him not dying.
âThe one I saved is another man. I will protect him to survive. As for doing good deeds and being a
good person, the Elicott family gives it up.
Avery knelt outside the Elicottâs old house the whole night. He was surrounded by bone-chilling snow.
No matter how long he stayed, no one in the Elicottâs old house came out to look at him.
Even no servant came out to chase him away.
That night, the scenes he saw in the divorce court floated into his mind constantly.
He forced Darlene to stay in the heavy rain outside the hospital, the Scenery Villa, and even in front of
Vivian.
Avery believed Darlene should be a thousand times colder than he was.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the snow, the snow began to melt. The gate of the Elicottâs old
house was still tightly shut.
Cyrus drove over. Averyâs legs were numb, and he was almost carried into the car by Cyrus.
Avery had never known how desperate Darlene was when she constantly pleaded after being wronged
and tortured by him. At that moment, he started to understand.
When he returned to the hospital, Darlene was pushed out of the emergency room, but she was not out
of danger and was transferred to the intensive care unit.
When Avery walked over, he heard the doctor talking to Darleneâs family. âWe must make Ms. Garcia
believe her heart is not Dr. Elicottâs. Otherwise, it will be hard for her to make it through.
âShe could not accept the heart. However, if she wanted to survive, the heart must exist.â
