Chapter 159 Darlene, Get Closer to Me
Nathen was holding a medical record folder, standing silently at Giovanni’s office door.
Nathen had just received the news that part of Darlene’s important examination results. hade out.
The nurse said that the results had been sent directly to Giovanni, and she even told Nathen, “The
situation is not good.”
So Nathen immediately threw aside other things and wanted to ask Giovanni as Darlene’s attending
doctor.
During this period, it was Nathen who treated Darlene. As a doctor, he had expected. how terrible
Darlene’s condition would be and how fast it would worsen.
However, although Nathen had expected it, he was shocked to see Giovanni handing the critically ill
notification to Gustave through the open door.
Darlene was about to die, and Giovanni was telling her family to prepare for the funeral.
Nathen was in a trance for a moment. No matter how many mental preparations he had made, he felt
that this result was a little too abrupt.
Inside, Giovanni’s voice sounded. “I reminded you before that with Ms. Garcia’s condition, drug treatment
was not effective. It can only keep her in a stable and calm.
mood.
“If she is stimted again, the consequences are unpredictable. If I am not wrong, something had
happened to her before she suddenly fell ill and was sent to the hospital, right?”
Nathen clenched the medical record folder in his hand and recalled that when Darlene
had just been sent over, Aleena held the court file bag in her hand.
And when Aleena was in the sick room, sheined furiously, “Avery is a bastard. He still refuses to
divorce. He really wants to drive Darlene to death…”
The word Avery filled Nathen’s mind.
Nathen turned around and directly entered the elevator to go to the underground. garage. He wanted to
drive away.
Just as Nathen stepped out of the elevator and entered the garage, he saw Avery getting out of the car
and walking over.
It was such a coincidence that Nathen did not have to think of a way to find Avery.
Nathen strode over, and just as he was about to swing his fist, he remembered that Darlene was still in
the sick room.
Giovanni was about to leave soon. He would operate in another hospitalter, so now Darlene had to
rely on Nathen.
In the end, Nathen did not punch Avery, who walked up to him and said, “Dr. Elicott, is Darlene here?
Which ward is he in?”
It was rare for Avery to call Nathen so politely, probably because Avery was really
anxious to find Darlene.
Nathen nced at Avery and walked directly past him. “I don’t know.”
Avery frowned and turned around, wanting to stop Nathen. “Aren’t you her attending physician? How
could Darlene not look for you when she came over? How could you not
know?”
Nathen did not respond with a single word and directly walked away.
Avery had no choice but to take out his phone and make a call.
He called Gustave and Darlene, but no one answered.
Avery called the hospital director, who was not familiar with Darlene, so Avery asked
the department director. After quite a while, he told Avery about Darlene’s current
ward.
Nathen walked to the other side of the garage and entered a control room familiarly.
It was a power control room. Except for maintenance workers or the person in charge, no one else was
allowed to enter.
However, the Elicott Group had invested in this hospital, so it was naturally not difficult for Nathen to get
the keys.
Nathen opened the door and went in. He then turned on his phone and looked at the hospital’s elevator
surveince video. He watched as Avery entered the elevator…
There were not many people entering the elevator from the underground garage in the hospital, but it
was still daytime, and Avery was not the only one getting into the
elevator.
When Avery entered the elevator, there were two women walking in together, talking
andughing.
“It’s so cold. If he were not my boss, I wouldn’t havee to visit him. I was just worried that he would
dislike us and dock our pay if we didn’te.”
“That’s right. It’s so cold. Even taxi fares have increased a lot. Oh, let’s split it. I’ll transfer the money to
you.”
They chatted and stole nces at Avery, who was beside them, from time to time.
Such a tall and handsome man could not be seen even on television. It seemed that their trip to the
hospital today was worth it.
The two women exchanged nces andughed quietly.
Strangely, the elevator didn’t stop on the first floor. Normally, most people got in the
elevator on the first floor.
After the elevator went up a few floors, the two women were still chatting. Suddenly, the elevator
stopped, and then there was the sound of an electric current. The lights in
the elevator went out.

The two women immediately screamed in unison. The surroundings fell intoplete
darkness. Avery’s calm face quickly turned pale.
His head buzzed, and he vaguely heard anxious voices from the two women beside him.
“Why don’t I have my phone with me? Where’s your phone? Quickly take it out and turn. on the
shlight.”
“Isn’t my phone in your bag? Oh no. Was it left in the taxi? That’s my new phone. I just bought it for over
1,200 dors.”
Those voices were extremely noisy. Avery slowly crouched down along the elevator wall behind him.
Ever since Avery was young, he had been suffering from ustrophobia. From the moment he could
remember, his parents had always been at odds.
When Braelyn, Avery’s mother, was still alive, Owen rarely went home. Once he came
back, he quarreled with Braelyn.
They fought and smashed things in the bedroom, making it a mess.
Owen and Braelyn used to look very gentle and polite when they were outside. They were very good to
their subordinates, but almost no one knew that their rtionship was extremely bad.
Braelyn was emulous, domineering, suspicious, and jealous. Her words were harsh, and she always
suspected that Owen was fooling around outside.
Owen couldn’t bear to act humbly in front of women. When they fought, Braelyn could never beat him
because of the strength gap between men and women. Almost every time they fought, she was injured.
The dispute always ended in Braelyn’s screams. Owen directly left and wouldn’te back within a
month or two.
The couple got along with each other like this until Avery was twenty years old and Braelyn passed away.
Sandra married into the Gard family.
Braelyn hated her husband, but as a mother, she still cared about her son.
Therefore, every time there was a big quarrel or even a fight, she was worried that Avery would be
identally injured, so she would directly stuff him into the wardrobe in the bedroom and close the
wardrobe door, making Avery curl himself up inside.
Avery got ustrophobia at that time.
As a grown man, Avery felt that such a disease was embarrassing, so in these years,
almost no one knew about this.
In addition to Darlene, the few close elders of the Gard family, and Avery’s psychologists, no one knew
that he had ustrophobia.
One of the psychologists was Leana, Nathen’s sister.
The voices of the women beside Avery became blurred. Avery felt as if it were two years ago. Darlene
helped him push the wheelchair. They were also in an elevator that suddenly malfunctioned.
Darlene crouched down in a hurry and leaned against him, who was still sitting in the wheelchair. She
patientlyforted him, “It’s okay. Someone wille to repair it
soon. I’m here. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Avery recalled those two years. Darlene was thin and weak. When he was unable to
stand up, she seemed to be omnipotent. She always stayed by his side and took care of
him.
His mind shed back to the past, and it seemed to be happening at this moment.
Avery reached out to the person beside him, and his entire body began to tremble. “Darlene, get closer
to me. Don’t stand so far away.”
