A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 50 Leave The Country With Me

In Gustave’s villa in Lancaster…

Darlene had been unconscious for nearly two days.

She was awakened by a nightmare. When she woke up, she sneezed.

As Darlene opened her eyes, the person in front of her was very close and

staring at her. There seemed to be a strange look in his eyes.

Darlene locked eyes with the man for a very short time. When she was so scared that she almost screamed, the

person close to her had already stood up and stepped back.

Nathen looked a little unnatural and put away the diagnosis instrument in his hand. “You have been in a coma, so I

wanted to check your eyes. I didn’t

scare you, did I?”

Darlene breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was because she had a

nightmare, she was still in shock.

She shook her head and scanned the unfamiliar environment in the room.

“I’m fine. Is this your home, Dr. Elicott?”

Nathen handed her a glass of warm water. “No, this is Mr. Walpole’s villa in

Lancaster. He saved you first and then called me over. If you are not used to

it, you can move to my place first. Then I will help you find a place to live.”

Darlene shook her head. “That’s not what I meant.”

She just looked at the unfamiliar place and casually asked.

The bedroom door opened, and Gustave came in. “You are awake. You had

been unconscious for two days. If that continues, I will have to send you to

the hospital.”

Darlene sat up from bed with the quilt around her. After being unconscious for so long, she felt fine now. “Thank

you, Mr. Walpole. I should be okay.”

Gustave nodded and walked to the bedside. “As long as you are fine. Something’s up. I need to go abroad now and

may stay there for a while.

“With your current condition, the matter of the human skin mask may not be kept from Avery for long. Do you want

to go abroad with me? It will also be safer.”

Before Darlene could answer, Nathen spoke first, “It’s better for her to stay and nurse her health now. I can take

care of her. Mr. Walpole, you don’t have to worry.”

Gustave looked at Nathen a little strangely. One didn’t know what he was thinking, but Gustave did not say much.

He looked at Darlene. “It’s just a suggestion. Of course, it depends on what you want.”

Speaking of which, Gustave had only met Darlene a few times and was

indeed not very familiar with her.

From Darlene’s perspective, it seemed that there was no reason for her to

leave the country with him.

In comparison, Darlene still believed Nathen more, so she declined, “I want to stay. It is not convenient to go

abroad, and it is not good to add more trouble to you, Mr. Walpole. Also, I have not gotten Nigel’s ashes. I need to

find a way to bury him properly.”

Speaking of this, she felt a pain in her heart, but now was not the time to

-vent her emotions.

No matter how sad Darlene was, the people in front of her had no obligation

to listen to her vent.

Gustave also did not persuade her. “Alright, it’s your decision. I will send

someone to help you find a way to get Nigel’s ashes. It is better for you not to go back to Baltimore recently.

“This is a detached villa. There are bodyguards everywhere, and even bullets can’t come in here. You can consider

staying here for a while longer.”

Nathen seemed to be a little upset. “There’s no need to trouble you, Mr. Walpole. Darlene can stay with me, and I

also have friends here who can help

her find a place.”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Darlene immediately said,

“Thank you, Mr. Walpole, for helping me so much. I will be careful on my

own.”

Gustave still did not persuade her. Whether he helped or not was his

business, but if Darlene did not want his favor, there was nothing he could

1. do.

He replied, “Alright, I have some urgent matters to attend to. I have to leave later. My butler, Arthur, will stay here.

You can ask him for a business card later. If you can’t contact me, you can look for him. You can also ask him for

a key to this villa, just in case.”

Even the police would not be confident about searching Gustave’s residence

here.

Darlene nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Walpole.”

Gustave’s phone rang, and the assistant on the other side called again to urge him..

He had stayed abroad for many years. This time, when he returned to the US,

many things there went a little chaotic.

After saying a few words, Gustave left that day.

As soon as he left, Nathen said that Darlene would definitely not be used to

staying here and insisted on taking her immediately to his place.

Darlene did not know anyone in Lancaster. Now, only Nathen counted as an

acquaintance. It was not easy to rent a house right away. As for staying in a

hotel, Darlene did not have her ID now and could not check into one.

Therefore, she had no other choice but to go to Nathen’s place first.

On the way, Nathen seemed to have endured for a long time and finally reminded Darlene, “It’s better if you don’t

trust Mr. Walpole too much. People say that he is ruthless and capable of doing many things. You don’t

know him well, and you can’t be too careful.”

Darlene sat in the back seat of the car, still thinking about Nigel. She was

snapped back to her senses by Nathen’s words.

She explained, “Dr. Elicott, Mr. Walpole should not be a bad person. You don’t have to guard against him too much.

He has saved me once before and later helped Nigel find a heart to transplant.

“He is a businessman. He may be a bit neat in his actions, but he has indeed helped me a lot. He does not have bad

intentions.”

Nathen replied, “But you still shouldn’t completely let your guard down. You trusted Mr. Gallard too much before,

and now you have come to this because

of him. It is better not to trust others too much.”

Darlene did not explain any further. “I know. I will keep this in mind.”

When they arrived at the villa over there, Nathen’s sister, Leana, was also there. When they went in, Leana, who

was washing her hair, came down the stairs.

Darlene had met Leana once. Back then, when she was forced by Avery to kneel in the heavy rain outside the

hospital, it was Leana who saved her when she passed out from the intense pain.

However, she never knew that Leana was Nathen’s sister.

Leana obviously recognized her. Nathen made the introduction, and Darlene greeted Leana with a little

embarrassment, “Hi, Ms. Elicott.”

Leana smiled and nodded. “You are Nathen’s friend? Sit.”

Nathen took Darlene upstairs directly. “You are tired. I will ask the nanny to clean up your bedroom. Let me take

you there first.

Darlene followed him up, but Leana still smiled and did not say anything.

After Nathen took Darlene to the master bedroom, Nathen asked Darlene to rest and take a bath first. And he went

downstairs and asked the maids to

make dinner.

When he went downstairs again, Leana was sitting on the sofa and watching

him come down.

Nathen approached and said, “Leana, go back to your own place to live. She is not close to you, and she will be

uncomfortable if you stick around.”

Leana wiped her hair with the towel in her hands and asked, “Not close to me? Is she close to you? And will she be

comfortable living here only with you?”

Nathen was a little unpleasant. “I have known her for many years. Why is she

uncomfortable with me? Besides, I still have Loretta here.”

Leana put down the towel and looked up at him. “You shouldn’t have

brought her here. I have long said that your feelings for her are not simply

love. Nathen, you should see a therapist.”

Nathen frowned, and his face was very ugly. “I have changed now. I can control a lot of emotions and will not do

anything to hurt her.”

Leana glanced in the direction of the stairs. After confirming that Darlene was not coming down, she lowered her

voice and said, “There is no point in deceiving yourself. Your love and possessiveness are abnormal.

“Don’t think that I don’t know that to get that Mr. Gallard beside her out of

the picture, you actually did something to her brother…“
