Chapter 28 Psychological Trauma
Avery took off Darlene’s hospital gown. The size of the hospital gown, striated blue and white, was the
smallest. But it was still loose on Darlene.
He took off her clothes bit by bit and discovered that not only her arms, calves, and neck but also her
entire body was covered in dense wounds.
Avery’s fingertips trembled violently, and he touched her wounds slowly and
carefully.
Every time he touched them, he imagined what she had experienced at that time. How ruthless were
those people and how sharp were the tools before they left so many scars on her?
Darlene would even show Avery when she skinned her fingers in the past. How could she endure all the
injuries without telling the police?
Avery suddenly felt fear. The former lovely Darlene had be so
vulnerable.
Just as his fingers touched the wounds, Darlene began to tremble violently. Her face was pale as she
begged, “I didn’t run. I was not being disobedient. No. Please… Don’t hurt my brother.”
Avery felt that he seemed to have heard something wrong. It seemed to be something very important
that had something to do with him.
He leaned over and wanted to hear her more clearly, but she did not say
anything more.
When he approached her, Avery found that there was a very long scar on the left side of her neck that
extended all the way to the back of her neck where
he could not see.

He suddenly could not breathe and tried hard to take a deep breath, but he
still felt as if he was about to suffocate.
Avery gently pushed her head and let her lie down on her side, exposing the
entire wound.
Avery’s palm was very big. This was what Darlene said to him on the night of their first wedding
anniversary.
When they had just been married for a year, his legs had just recovered, and they were in a stable
rtionship.
He remembered the first time they had sex that night. The lights in the bedroom were turned off, but she
was still so nervous that she did not even dare to open her eyes.
At that time, he pressed her hands on the pillow, and his palms just happened to cover her hands.
When she was under him, Darlene blushed and said, “Your palms are much bigger than mine.”
She liked his hands, probably because she felt that his hands could give her a
sense of security. One hand of his could cover both of her hands.
But now, Avery found that his palm could not cover the scar on her neck.
The scar was too long. He closed his fingers, trying to cover the scar, but he
couldn’t.
He tried to loosen his fingers, and the scar was exposed between his fingers.
He found that his big palm could not cover this scar. The scare was just like what he had done to her. He
personally sent her to prison and threatened her
to be obedient.

All of this left an indelible mark on their rtionship. From then on, Darlene, who would put her hands in
his palm, was gone.
Avery tried hard to guess how such a long scar was left.
Someone should have pressed her to the ground, pressing her head to the side of the ground, and then
another person with a sharp weapon like a knife
cut her neck from the front to the back.
Before she fainted from the pain, Darlene probably screamed, and Kynlee,
who escaped, should be holding a knife in her hand and standing in front of
Darlene with a sneer.
While Darlene was screaming, the two prison guards might havee over.
Under her desperate and begging eyes, the prison guards might just stand outside watching.
And at that time, what was Avery doing?
Was he watching Vivian change into a beautiful and sexy new dress, or was he socializing at the wine
party?
Avery seemed to have seen the scarlet blood flowing down from the bed to
his feet at that moment.
The blood was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which caught him off guard and wrapped
around his neck. Avery suddenly released his hand that was touching Darlene’s wounds. He suddenly
turned around and
left the ward in a hurry.
Vivian called out to him from behind him, but Avery didn’t hear it. He walked all the way to the dim fire
escape, sat on the stairs, and lit a cigarette with trembling hands.
The smoke entered his lungs. Avery lowered his head and buried his face in

the shadows, smoking withrge mouthfuls.
Avery had never seen such a long scar on a living person’s neck.
That kind of scar was more like an animal that had been pulled into a ughterhouse. It would only be
left when it was killed.
Avery raised his hand to look at his palm. For some reason, he felt that there was blood on it. He wiped
his hand on his body several times, but he could not wipe it clean no matter how hard he tried.
Darlene woke up the next day. She was suffering from serious depression. She was afraid of seeing
people and light.
Except for Nathen, no one else could get close to her.
As for Nigel, Nathen was worried that when he saw Darlene be like this, something would happen
to him.
Therefore, Nathen could only temporarily transfer Nigel to another hospital and ask his friends to take
care of Nigel.
However, Avery could not stand Darlene looking at Nathen with trust and
reliance. After Darlene stayed in the hospital for two days, Avery insisted on
taking Darlene away.
Now that Darlene was suffering from psychological trauma, Avery, as her
husband, became her only guardian. Avery could temporarily make decisions
for her.
Nathen had no right to stop them. No matter how unwilling he
could only let them leave.

Avery first brought Darlene back to Southwood Vi, but the moment
Darlene entered the door, she was suddenly agitated.

Avery realized that there were too many bad memories left in this ce, so he could only take her away
and return to Scenery Vi.
It was ironic. They had been married for two years, and Darlene had known him for ten years, but he had
never taken her to Scenery Vi.
Avery always felt that Darlene was just a substitute. He would not truly love her, so she was not worthy of
going to Scenery Vi.
After they got married, he bought Southwood Vi as their wedding house and allowed her to live in
Southwood Vi.
The huge Scenery Vi was brightly lit. When Avery brought Darlene in, although she was very vignt
because she was not familiar with this ce, she was not as excited as when she first returned to
Southwood Vi.
Avery took Darlene to the bedroom and specially told the servants to close the thick curtains in advance,
leaving only a small light on.
Darlene was afraid of the sound of water flowing. Avery first put water in the bathtub for her before letting
her in to take a bath.
However, less than two minutes after she entered the bathroom, a terrified
scream came from the bathroom.
Avery’s face darkened. He immediately got up and rushed over. When he
pushed open the bathroom door, Darlene was holding the shower with a pale
face and smashing it on the mirror in fear.
Darlene seemed to be crazy, as if she did not even recognize herself in the
mirror or she seemed to see a ghost. The mirror was smashed, and broken
shards of ss fell. She continued to smash the mirror with all her might.
Avery tensed up. He quickly pulled a towel over and covered the mirror tightly. He rushed over and
hugged Darlene, not letting her smash the mirror
again.

“It’s a mirror. Darlene, that’s a mirror. Inside it is your shadow, not someone
else.”
She struggled to get free from him and stumbled back. Then she shrunk behind the bathtub and sat
down, hugging herself tightly.
Avery walked over and heard her say in a trembling voice, “I want to go
back.”
Avery exined to her, “This is your home. From now on, this is our home. There are no bad people
here. Don’t be afraid.”
She was absent–minded and uneasy. “Where is Nigel? Why isn’t Nigel in my
house?”
Avery secretly let out a sigh of relief. Even though she had lost control, she still remembered Nigel.
He tried tofort her. “Nigel is in the hospital. Darlene, I will help you contact the person from before
and let him continue to donate his heart to your brother, OK?”
Darlene looked at him, skeptical. After a moment, she finally calmed down and nodded cautiously.
Seeing that her mood had stabilized, Avery took her out of the bathroom. He put her on the bed and then
went to make a phone call.
On the other side of the line, the director said regretfully, “Mr. Gard, Mr. Oliver has already been
seriously ill for a year. Last weekend, he suddenly fell ill and passed away.“
