Chapter 171


    Chapter 171 She Almost Suffocates


    Darlene was flustered and wanted Nigel to leave from the window first, but the more anxious she was,


    the more flustered she became.


    Nigel was obviously a little afraid to go down from such a high ce.


    The footsteps outside the door were approaching. Even if Nigel went out, Darlene would not have


    enough time to clean up the seat and rope, and the people who came would see


    these.


    She clenched her fists, and in the end, she grabbed Nigel’s arm. “Nigel, it’s toote. Come down and put


    the chair back. Close the curtains,” she said in a low voice.


    Then, she quickly looked around the room. The intensive care unit was different from an ordinary ward. It


    had only arge number of all kinds of therapeutic devices but no


    tables or wardrobes.


    There was only one sick bed and no nursing beds.


    There was no ce to hide people. The only ce that could hide people was the bed that Reina was


    lying on.


    Reina had tubes and medical instruments on her body, so the quilt covering her body


    was a little bulging.


    Darlene had no choice but to quickly get on the bed, take off her shoes, and kick them. under the bed.


    Then, shey down next to Reina under the quilt.


    Almost at the moment when she justy down, the door of the room was pushed open. The footsteps


    were a little noisy. It seemed many people came in.


    When everyone came in, Sandra exined in a somewhat anxious voice, “Dad, Katrina did not know


    that Avery had forgotten it. She just happened to visit Avery and mentioned Darlene’s grandmother and


    younger brother without much thought.”


    Katrina was also a little frightened as she said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gard. I spoke too


    much.”


    Andrew coldly reprimanded, “Enough. What is the use of you still talking about this?”


    As the footsteps approached the bed, Darlene clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself

    not to make a single sound.


    Fortunately, there was the sound of instruments in the ICU to cover up her noise, so her subtle


    movements couldn’t be heard.


    As she listened to the footsteps, she could feel that someone had walked to her side. She


    subconsciously held her breath.


    However, the more she tried to hold her breath, the more she began tock oxygen. She wanted to take


    a deep breath and immediately move the quilt to get some air.


    She tried her best to rx, no longer holding her breath, but slowly inhaling and


    exhaling.


    Because of her heart disease, her breathing ability was a little worse than that of ordinary people. Being


    covered by the quilt like this, she was in so much pain that her face was flushed red and her forehead


    was covered in a cold sweat.


    Just when she felt that she could not hold on any longer, Avery’s voice sounded beside her. “Why can’t I


    know about Darlene’s grandmother and younger brother? Why are you guys apologizing to my


    grandfather?”


    He woke up a while ago and remembered no one except for Darlene.


    However, Cyrus had already exined some of the current situations to him.


    This included Avery’s current situation, his family, his father, his stepmother, and some other elders of the


    Gard family.


    When Katrina came to visit, Cyrus also introduced Katrina.


    No one knew if Katrina did it on purpose or not. She seemed to know nothing when she visited. After


    caring for Avery a bit, she suddenly mentioned Darlene’s grandmother and younger brother, saying that


    she knew a good doctor who could perhaps treat Darlene’s


    grandmother.


    Andrew felt a little guilty. “We didn’t mean to hide it from you. After all, you just woke up, and your


    situation is still not stable.


    “For some trivial matters, we will tell you when you feel better. It’s good for your


    health.”


    Avery was clearly displeased by the word “trivial” that Andrew said, and his voice


    became colder. “My wife’s family is also the most important thing to me.


    “She is on a business trip, and she must have entrusted her family to me before she left. I should take


    good care of them.”


    He looked at Reina on the bed. “What happened to her?”


    Cyrus answered from the side, “Sir, she was paralyzed due to the sudden onset of high blood pressure.


    It has been a while. It didn’t happen recently.”


    Avery’s health condition was still not good. The loss of memories was like a part of his body had been


    removed. He had just walked for a while and felt a little tired.


    He directly sat down on the edge of the bed. Darlene still had one hand on the side. Sensing his


    movement, she immediately retracted her hand to her lower abdomen as if an electric current ran


    through her.


    Then, Avery sat down at the ce where she ced her hand just now. The sick bed was not wide.


    Darlene curled up and wished that she could be as thin as paper.


    She really couldn’t breathe. In less than ten seconds, she would either suffocate or only stretch her head


    out in front of everyone.


    Her brain hurt so much that a burst of anger rose up in her.


    Since Avery had lost his memory, he should stay in the ward. Why would hee to the ICU? Why


    would he bring so many people over? Didn’t he know that the patient needed a quiet rest?


    Nigel was still squatting in the corner next to the window. He was a little afraid of Avery. He curled up


    there without saying a word. The people who came in did not even look over there. No one noticed him.


    Seeing Avery sit on the bed, Nigel finally reacted. He bounced up in just one second.


    He stared at Avery anxiously and angrily as he shouted, “You can’t sit on my grandmother’s bed!


    “The ICU doesn’t allow outsiders to visit. There are so many of you here, and you are sitting on my


    grandmother’s bed. What if you bring a virus or bacteria to her?”


    Avery looked at the boy who was using him of being dirty. After a long while, Avery finally realized


    what was going on. “You are Nigel Garcia, right?”


    This boy did note in with him. Since this boy had been in this room, he should be


    Darlene’s younger brother.


    However, this child suddenly appeared from nowhere.


    Nigel was extremely anxious and could only pretend to be calm. “Who I am has nothing to do with you.


    Go out. My grandmother needs to rest. With so many of youing in, you will disturb her and bring in a


    lot of viruses!”


    Cyrus was worried that Avery would get angry and immediately exined in a low voice, “Sir, Ms.


    Garcia’s younger brother is in puberty and rebellious. He speaks like this to everyone.”


    However, Avery was not as angry as Cyrus had imagined. Instead, Avery stood up and walked over.


    “Where is Darlene? She didn’t pick up my call. Did she tell you where she went on a business trip?”
