    A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 263


    Chapter 263 I’ll Give You Anything


    Avery and Andrew looked over, but because it was nighttime and the carmps were on, they could not


    see Darlene clearly in the car.


    This honk was a bit abrupt. But since Andrew’s car was almost parked in the middle of the road and the


    two of them were in the middle of the road, Avery and Andrew probably thought that Darlene did that


    because she wanted to pass by but was blocked.


    Darlene calmed herself down and wanted to sit back in the driver’s seat. Whether it was turning around


    to leave or directly passing by Avery, it was better than stopping here.


    Darlene could feel Avery staring at this side. Even if she thought that he would not be able to see her


    clearly, she still felt a little uneasy.


    When Darlene was anxiously climbing to the driver’s seat, Braylen had alreadye out of the police


    station not far away. He quickly came over.


    Braylen noticed that Avery was looking at his car and Braylen also heard the sound of the horn from


    afar. Braylen quickly realized what was going on.


    However, Braylen still looked very calm. When he passed by Avery, he calmly greeted, “Hi, Mr. Andrew,


    Mr. Gard, what a coincidence. What is going on? Whoops, it seems that Mr. Gard is getting beaten


    up now.”


    Andrew heard the sarcasm in Braylen’s words and ignored him.


    As for Avery, who was kneeling on the ground, he was even less in the mood to talk to Braylen.


    Instead, Avery continued to stare at Braylen’s car.


    Avery thought, just now, there was a honk in the car, so there must be someone else inside.


    But is it strange that there was someone else in Braylen’s car?


    No, it is not strange at all.


    In Braylen’s car, there might be a woman he newly met, friends, or rtives. It might also be Mrs.


    Swale or Mr. Swale. There are too many possibilities, but it cannot be Darlene.


    Braylen walked to the side of the car and could feel Avery’s gaze still following behind.


    So when Braylen opened the car door and got in, he deliberately raised his voice a little and


    comined, “Mom, can’t you just give me a call if you get impatient? I can hear you honk from afar. We


    are now outside the police. station. What if the police say that I disturb the other residents and detain


    my car?”


    Darlene was about to get into the driver’s seat when she saw Braylen getting into the car. She did not


    respond and retreated back to the passenger seat.


    Avery and Andrew quickly shifted their gazes away. When Braylen drove away, Avery turned back to


    take another look again.


    Avery couldn’t exin why he turned back to take another look, but Braylen’s car had already


    disappeared into the night.


    The Gard’s ce was still in a foul and lifeless state. When Andrew brought Avery back, Avery


    chased away the new clinical psychologist again.


    There was also a high-level nutritionist Andrew had finally managed to find to help Avery to quit


    smoking and drinking and regted Avery’s diet and rest. The nutritionist had confidently made a long


    list of the daily diet for Avery and even wrote a book about his ns to change Avery’s bad habits step


    by step.

    On the night when everything was ready, the nutritionist had just shown Avery the results of his hard


    work, and Avery kicked him out together with his recipes and book.


    After being a nutritionist for so many years, this was the first time he had been chased out. The


    nutritionist was so angry that he left immediately and refused toe again no matter what.


    The servants in the Southwood Vi were getting fewer and fewer day after day, and the few that


    remained were the most honest.


    Whenever the servants saw Avery, they looked scared and reluctant. They only hoped to get their


    sry after fulfilling their duties.


    The more Avery looked at those servants, the more he disliked them. In the end, he dismissed all of


    them.


    Only Cyrus and Roselyn left. Roselyn used to be Teresa’s maid.


    Roselyn spent most of her life in the Gard’s ce and did not want to leave.


    Avery drove her away a few times in annoyance, but in the end, he gave up.


    After Avery returned to the Southwood Vi, he still sat in the living room drinking wine.


    Roselyn did not try to persuade Avery. She must be tired of doing that after failing so many times.


    Roselyn directly went into the kitchen and got some honey water and hangover soup ready for Avery.


    After she got everything ready, she came out again, silently sitting on the sofa opposite Avery.


    Avery was tired of drinking and felt annoyed.


    He had drunk too much wine, and the more he drank, the more clear-headed he became.


    Avery threw the bottle of wine in his hand onto the coffee table and drunkenly looked at Roselyn sitting


    opposite him.


    “Roselyn, do you also think I deserved it? I was so stupid back then.”


    Roselyn saw that Avery stopped drinking and got up to clean up the wine bottle and cigarette ash on


    the coffee table.


    Meanwhile, Roselyn said lightly, “Mr. Gard, you know that Ms. Garcia is already dead. Rather than


    being like this, you might as well cherish the things you have now.


    “I heard that the Gard Group has been in a bad situation recently. Your grandpa’s health is getting


    poorer day by day. You should just move on.”


    Avery did not listen to what Roselyn was saying.


    Avery propped himself up against the back of the sofa, staggering out into the backyard.


    The Southwood Vi was much smaller than the Scenery Vi, but the backyard covered more than


    1,000 square feet. In the past, there were various flowers and nts in the courtyard, but now it was a


    veryrge grave.


    Darlene’s body was not found, so what was buried there were her clothes.


    Avery walked closer and sat down next to the tombstone.


    Avery touched the tombstone. There was nothing but Darlene’s name on it, not even a single photo.


    Avery thought, in those two years of marriage, how much has Darlene been wronged? As her husband,


    I can’t even take out a single photo of her.


    Avery gently stroked Darlene’s name with his fingertips. Other than the howling autumn wind, there


    was no sound in the backyard.


    Avery never dared to count the days. Only now did he realize that Darlene had been gone for two


    whole years.


    It had been two years and Avery had no news of Darlene at all.


    All these years, Avery would always think of the words Darlene had said and her resolute gaze as well


    as her tone filled with hatred.


    Darlene said to Avery word by word, “Avery, if I die one day, you must note to my grave and cry.


    Please don’t.”


    Therefore, Avery didn’t dare to shed tears here. A year ago, he had set up this tombstone, and now, in


    the blink of an eye, another year had passed. He had always remembered Darlene’s words.


    But at this moment, for some reason, Avery couldn’t help it. The wind blew so hard that his eyes hurt.


    Large drops of tears fell to the ground of the tomb. Avery curled up and stooped, unable to restrain


    himself from sobbing.


    “Darlene, pleasee back. Open your eyes and look at me again. I’ll make it up to you.


    Pleasee back and have a look at me again. I’ll give you anything, okay?”
