Chapter 188


    Chapter 188 The Night He Died


    “In less than five days, when you get divorced, I will get you out of this ce.” Gustave’s words were


    undoubtedly a fuse, igniting the anger and uneasiness that Avery was trying to suppress.


    Avery’s face was gloomy. He immediately undid his cufflinks and approached Gustave. “You don’t have


    the right to interfere with the matters between us. Are you bored with nothing to do all day?”


    Gustave smiled, waiting for him toe closer.


    Seeing that they were about to fight, the nurse said anxiously, “This is the ward. Please don’t mess


    around. The patient still needs to rest.”


    Gustave felt that this was reasonable. He took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm, walking outside.


    “Then let’s go out and talk, Mr. Gard.”


    As soon as they went out, they closed the door and started fighting.


    Cyrus and the bodyguards were frightened and immediately stepped forward to dissuade them. “Mr.


    Walpole, Mr. Gard, what’s wrong? Don’t be like


    this.”


    Avery nced at him impatiently. “No one is allowed to interfere. Stay away!”


    Darnell was actually more willing to watch the show. It was rare to see Gustave beat someone, so he


    thought that it was fun.


    However, when he saw that the bodyguards and housekeepers had already stepped forward to stop the


    fight, he also walked over to persuade them half–heartedly, “Mr. Walpole, maybe you guys can have a


    talk.”


    Gustave raised his palm to block Avery’s punch, then swung a punch over with


    a calm voice. “It’s fine, and don’t worry about it.”


    Darnell immediately nodded and stepped back to watch.


    Darlene stayed in the ward, worried that something might happen. When the nurse finished changing the


    dressing for her, she immediately tried to get out of bed and go out to take a look.


    She had never seen Gustave beat anyone before, and she was worried that he would be beaten up by


    Avery.


    After the nurse walked out, Aleena immediately walked in to stop Darlene. “What are you going to do?


    Avery is already furious! He may hurt you.


    “Don’t worry, Mr. Walpole will be fine.”


    Darlene’s expression was a little anxious. “Avery will show no mercy.”


    Even if Gustave could beat him, Gustave might still hold back a little, afraid of causing a big fuss.


    However, Avery would not be so kind. The things he did to Darlene were enough to prove that he was


    simply insane.


    Aleena helped her sit back on the bed. “Alright, alright. Take care of yourself first. Both of them will be


    fine. Nothing will happen to them.”


    Darlene wasn’t at ease. She listened to the chaos outside, but the nurse had just changed her dressing,


    so she still felt some pain. In the end, she didn’t go


    outside.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Aleena sat down beside her. She looked at the watch and said, “I have to goter. I still have things to


    do. I wille to see you after I am done with work.


    “You have to endure it for thest two days. The second trial of your divorce case is about to start. When


    you guys are divorced, that jerk willpletely have nothing to do with you. You don’t have to worry


    about it anymore.”


    Darlene nodded. Looking at her from such a close distance, she noticed that


    Aleena’s eyes were a little red as if she had cried.


    Darlene thought of something. “You don’t have to worry about me. Today is


    Braydon’s death anniversary, right?”


    Aleena replied indifferently, “Yes, there are no photos of his tombstone. It’s just a wordless monument.


    Other than me, no one knows where his tomb is. If I don’t go and take a look, no one will go.”


    Darlene reached out and patted the back of Aleena’s hand. “A few days ago, John called me and asked


    me to persuade you. He said that he applied to help you pay off the debts of the Colvile family.”


    Aleena shook her head. “No need. I can take the debts on my own. I don’t have time to think about it in


    order to pay back the money.


    “Unfortunately, he had sacrificed his life for the country, but he could not have a single word on the


    tombstone. And his name would not be on the list of public martyrs either.”


    Darlene felt that no matter what she said, it wouldn’t help. After a long while, she said, “The country will


    remember his dedication.


    “The country did not forget him, and the police did not forget him either. So after so many years, they still


    cared about how you were doing and wanted to repay the debts for the Colvile family.”


    Aleena’s eyes were red. “I really regret that I agreed to let him be a policeman. It was fine if he was just


    an ordinary policeman, but…”


    Darlene carried her over andforted her softly, “Aleena, it’s been so many


    years. Forget it. Don’t think about those things.”


    Aleena sobbed. She had gotten through these years, but this was the first time


    she cried. “Those drug dealers killed him. At that time, he was only


    twenty–five years old.”


    She cried hard. “It’s been two years. I thought back to what happened that night. Everything came back


    to me. In the fire, he asked me to hide behind the washing machine on the balcony. Through the gap, I


    watched the man kill


    him.


    “There was still hot food on the dining table. That night, it was he who


    personally cooked. We haven’t seen each other for half a year. He secretly came back.”


    Her voice was cold. “I remember that he made braciole that night. Because I was on my period, he did


    not put in chili. I just took my first bite and the door was knocked open. Those men came in with guns…”


    Darlene hugged her tightly. “Aleena, don’t say it…”


    Aleena trembled. “All these years, everyone advised me to forget, and the psychiatrist also advised me


    to forget.


    “But I really tried my best. I could forget everything, but I just couldn’t control myself from thinking about


    that night. I didn’t dare to eat braciole. I was afraid to even cook. Darlene, I couldn’t stop thinking about


    him. He died, and I watched him die.”


    When Aleena left, Avery just happened toe in.


    Darlene patted Aleena’s back and cried for a while. His eyes were still a little red. The moment Avery


    entered to see her like this, he sneered.


    At that moment, Darlene suddenly thought that Aleena was right. Why did good men like Braydon die?


    There were so many damn men in the world. She


    really wanted Avery to die too.


    Avery’s expression was especially gloomy. There was still a wound on his face and the corner of his


    mouth. He sat down beside Darlene with a cold face.


    Darlene nced at it and mocked, “You’re injured. It looks bad.”


    Avery remained silent. The door to the ward was still open. Darlene heard a


    voice from outside. “Mr. Walpole, let me take you to the doctor to treat your


    wounds.”


    Gustave still spoke in a calm tone, “No need. Mr. Gard is injured and doesn’t see a doctor. Compared


    to him, how can I find a doctor with this skin trauma?”


    Avery was so angry that he wanted to go out. The nurse outside remembered something and turned


    back to say, “Mr. Gard, please pour some warm water for your wife and wipe her face. She had just


    had her dressing changed and was suffering from pain. She was sweating.”


    Avery was upset, so he walked to the door and went back to the bathroom to


    get some water.


    He brought some warm water over, but Darlene did not allow him to help her wipe her face. She wrung a


    towel and wiped her face.


    Avery looked at her with a cold face for a long time before saying, “You know that I am drunk. What did


    you recordst night?”


    Darlene did not look at him. “Just because you were drunk doesn’t mean you’re crazy. You should be


    held ountable for your actionsst night. You are my husband, but you cannot control your domestic


    violence against me when you are drunk. In a way, this is more serious.”


    Avery held his anger. “I was indeed a little impulsivest night, but there is a limit to everyone’s patience.


    “You are my wife, but you’re flirting with other men. You even secretly transferred your grandmother and


    brother away. Isn’t it to prepare for your own departure?” Avery resisted his anger.


    His tone softened. “No man would be able to tolerate this kind of thing. Besides, who didn’t make a


    mistake on impulse? Darlene, I don’t want to argue with you. I apologize for what happenedst night,


    but I have never hurt you


    before.”


    “Never before?” Darlene couldn’t helpughing.


    “The divorcewsuit is going to start soon. It won’t be long before you can see


    and hear what you have done with your own eyes and ears.


    “Avery, you can lose your memory, and your brain can selectively forget what you had done before, but


    the things that had happened in the past and the


    evidence will help you remember them clearly.”


    She looked at him and smiled softly, “I look forward to seeing your face soon. What will you do when you


    witness everything you have done?
