Chapter 8
Chapter 8 He Sshes Boiling Water On Her
The tea sshed on Vivian and then flowed to the ground.
Vivian had a panicked expression as she slipped and fell.
The cup in her hand naturally rolled to the ground. Vivian covered her lower abdomen and groaned in
pain, “It hurts. It hurts. My child…”
Avery hurried over. Darlene had already known what would happen next.
But, Darlene still hoped that Avery would see the cup in Vivian’s hand, and could guess that the tea was
not spilled by Darlene.
Therefore, Darlene said, “I did not ssh the tea. You also saw it. The cup is in her hand, not in my
hand.”
Vivian leaned against Avery’s chest with an expression of pain. It seemed that she was unable to stand
up. Vivian cried in a grievance, “Ms. Garcia, I know that you don’t like me, but you can say it out. You
know that I am pregnant, so why did you pour hot tea on me? I was anxious to stop you, so I snatched
the cup.”

As Vivian spoke, she looked at Avery with guilt. “I’m sorry, Avery. I shouldn’t care about this child. After
all, it is not your child. But it is mine. I am really…
really…”
Vivian stopped speaking halfway and kept crying.
Avery was angry. He carried Vivian up the stairs. “Go upstairs and rest first. I’ll let the doctor take a look
at you.”
Vivian leaned into Avery’s embrace and looked at Darlene with a pleased expression. However, she
pretend to be weak and said, “Avery, don’t me Ms. Garcia. After all, vou and she are already husband
and wife…”
Avery did not say a word.
Darlene stood downstairs, and she felt that something wrong would happen. She knew that Avery would
not let her go.
Darlene had just had a miscarriage operation and was suffering from cardiac failure. She could not stand
Darlene’s torment.
Darlene suddenly felt afraid and did not know what was waiting for her. Darlene turned around and
wanted to go outside.
The nanny immediately came over to stop Darlene. “Ms. Garcia, please wait here. Mr. Gard seems to
have something to tell you.”
Darlene’s face was a little pale. She looked at the nanny and noticed the
hostility in her eyes.
Darlene was still wondering why this new nanny was so hostile towards her when Avery came
downstairs.
Avery approached Darlene with a straight face. Without saying a word, Avery took a pot of tea from the
coffee table, opened the lid, and directly sshed it
at Darlene.
Darlene immediately dodged to the side, but the tea still sshed on her left
shoulder and neck.
Hot water sshed down, and Darlene screamed in horror. Half of her neck and shoulder were instantly
flushed red. Darlene felt mind–wrenching pain.
Darlene thought, if I had not dodged just now, my entire face would have been disfigured now.
Darlene’s face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped down from
her forehead. As if she had seen a ghost, Darlene desperately retreated to
avoid Avery.
Avery was still holding the teapot in his hand, and he was also stunned for a
moment.
Avery knew it was hot water, but he did not expect it would be boiling water. In the past, when the
servants or Darlene prepared tea, the water in the teapot would always be warm.
However, when Avery thought of how Darlene had just caused Vivian to fall and how Darlene had hurt
Vivian before, Avery suppressed the reluctance in
his mind.
Avery approached and said somewhat unnaturally, “I have warned you many times not to hurt Vivian…”
Before Avery could finish his sentence, Darlene’s eyes turned red and she retreated in fear to distance
herself from Avery. Then, Darlene staggered away from Avery and rushed upstairs.
The water that had just been sshed had left arge puddle on the ground.
Avery frowned and looked at the nanny. He said, “Contact the doctor. You
can pack up.
“Get lost.”
The nanny wanted to exin in panic, but Vivian’s weak voice came from the stairs. “Avery, it’s not her
fault. I remember that you used to like hot tea. I was worried that you wouldn’t like it when it was cold, so
I asked her to take out the teapot with boiling water. It’s all my fault. If you want to me
someone, me me.”
Avery could only give up and let the nanny continue to stay.
Seth came over with the medicine box on his back. Avery took Seth into Vivian’s bedroom and asked
Seth to examine Vivian carefully.
Vivian was not scalded. After all, the cup of tea had already cooled down. Seth checked Vivian and said
that she was fine.
Avery finally heaved a sigh of relief. When Avery apanied Seth downstairs, he saw that the door to
Darlene’s bedroom was tightly closed.
Avery thought, Seth hade anyway. I could ask him to drop by to take a
look at Darlene.
However, after knocking for a long time, Darlene did not open the door. Instead, the sound of the door
being locked came from inside.
Avery’s expression turned cold. He felt that he had simply done something unnecessary. Avery thought,
what was there for me to care about someone
like Darlene?
So, Avery let Seth go directly. Avery apanied Vivian downstairs for dinner and then went to the
study to deal with the work documents for nearly two hours. When Avery came out, the door to Darlene’s
room was still
locked.
Avery became angry. Avery thought, even if I had poured boiling water on her, she was the one who hurt
Vivian first. Moreover, I asked Seth to check
on her. It was she who did not open the door.
Thinking of this, Avery felt that he was not wrong. Avery knocked on the door impatiently with a cold face.
“Darlene, onest time, open the door.”
In the bedroom, Darlene curled up on the carpet in the corner and looked at the door in horror. The
knocking on the door kept on.
Darlene squeezed herself into a ball and trembled uncontrobly.
The burning pain in her body was still very clear. Darlene gritted her teeth and endured it. She was dizzy.
But Darlene knew that Avery woulde in. Darlene had to force herself to be alert. Darlene could not
imagine whether if she fell asleep, there would be another pot of boiling water pouring down from above
her head or not.
The knocking stopped outside the door, and then Avery kicked the door hard. “You better open the door
for me. If I kicked the door open, you know that I can do anything.”
Darlene couldn’t help but cry out in a low voice. She shrank back behind the window curtain and held
onto the curtain in front of her. Darlene imagined. that she could be hiding here and she wouldn’t be able
to be found.
With a bang, Darlene’s body trembled and she heard Avery’s footsteps
approaching.
Darlene let out a gasp of fear, and her hands that held the curtains tightly
trembled.
Avery approached and pulled the curtain in front of Darlene with a whoosh. Avery reached out to pull
Darlene up and threw Darlene onto the bed.
Avery ignored the horrible wounds on Darlene’s body and directly threw the
mobile phone that was showing a photo to her.
“Darlene, how dare you do this?”
In the photo, Nathen sat with Darlene outside the emergency room and
Nathen ced his hand on Darlene’s arm.
Darlene’s eyes were red. Avery thought that Darlene was pretending to be
pitiful.
As he spoke, Avery raised his hand and undid the tie around his neck. “With an ordinary medical–patient
rtionship, you can already hold hands so intimately? With an ordinary medical–patient rtionship,
would he directly deposit 17 thousand dors for your brother’s medical expenses?
“Darlene, it seems that I should tell you who your husband is!”
Darlene wanted to get up with a pale face. Averypletely ignored the injury on her shoulder and
leaned down to press down on Darlene’s shoulder. Avery’s face was filled with disdain.
“Is this how a slut woman like you seduce other men?”
Outside the bedroom, Vivian stood at the door and listened to the strange, breathing sounds inside. Her
nails dug into her palms.
Vivian took out her phone and sent a message. “Jax, we can’t wait any
longer. This fetus should be of use…”
