A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 54 Car Accident

Darlene did not say a word, lying on the sink and still vomiting.

Avery looked at her sideways, coughed lightly, and restrained from betraying his happiness.

After a long time, she had finally been pregnant with his child once again.

With this child, she should be able to slowly get over many things, right?

Judging by Darlene’s appearance, there was no doubt that she was pregnant. Avery was in a hurry to prove his conjecture, so he immediately went out to search for the pregnancy test kit.

He finally found it, but he did not dare to let Darlene try it. He quickly walked into the bathroom, grabbed her arm, and walked out. “Let’s go to the hospital for a check–up. You must be pregnant. The blood test is more reliable.”

Darlene had just finished vomiting and took a glance at him, who was walking around nimbly.

She sized him up and then smiled. “Leg injury? In a wheelchair?”

He had just rushed in and out of the bathroom so quickly. How could he look like he was sitting in a wheelchair because of his leg injury?

Avery just remembered this and immediately wanted to reach out to support the wall.

He realized that it was too fake and retracted his hand.

Although he felt guilty, he still spoke with confidence. “My leg is injured, but it’s not crippled. Did I say that I can’t walk? It’s inconvenient to walk, so I sit in a wheelchair.

Never mind. Let’s go to the hospital for a check–up first. We can’t be careless about

pregnancy.”

Darlene turned off the tap and walked out of the bathroom. “As long as you are happy. It is indeed convenient to sit in a wheelchair. I hope you will sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”

Avery did not want to argue with her about this matter. His mind was filled with thoughts of how badly Darlene had vomited just now.

Either it was a physical problem or a pregnancy. What he was looking forward to the

most was her pregnancy.

If Darlene could have a child, she might choose to stay with him. And the three of them could lead a happy life. Wouldn’t it be great?

Thinking of this, Avery followed Darlene closely. “Let’s go to the hospital first. I forgot to tell you that your grandmother has also been brought to the hospital. She wants to

see you.”

Darlene turned around and looked at him suspiciously. Avery obviously could not wait any longer. He grabbed her arm and directly walked out of the bedroom. “Don’t worry. I won’t lie to you. Take good care of the baby in your belly. If you want anything, I will give it to you. I won’t send your grandmother abroad.”

He walked in a hurry. When he went down the stairs, he suddenly remembered something and slowed down again. He held Darlene’s arm carefully to make her watch

her feet.

The disgust that Darlene had just suppressed in the bathroom once again surged up at this moment. This man always had ways to make her feel disgusted.

It was not until he left Southwood Villa and got into the car that Avery remembered that

he could not drive.

Just now, Avery came back with Darlene. Cyrus did not follow him. If he called Cyrus, he would only wait for ten minutes, but Avery did not want to wait for a moment now.

He hesitated for a moment and looked at Darlene. “My leg is injured. You can drive. Drive slowly. There’s no rush.”

After he finished speaking, he soothed her, “Don’t worry, it’s already so late. There aren’t many people on the road.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Darlene still wanted to go to the hospital to see Reina. Avery did not look like he was lying to her.

She took the car keys and got into the driver’s seat. After getting in, she slammed the

door shut.

The car shook as well, but Avery endured it and did not say a word.

He asked her to drive, so he couldn’t complain.

The door closed and the seat was adjusted. Darlene leaned back and closed her eyes.

Avery thought that she was just a little nervous because she had not driven for a long

time.

When he was sure that she was about to fall asleep, he frowned and said, “Drive. What are you doing?”

Darlene opened her eyes slowly and looked at him calmly. “I’m waiting for you to fasten your seat belt.”

Avery put on his seat belt with a sullen face and said unhappily, “Why didn’t you just say

it?”

Darlene’s expression was cool. “Can’t you see it yourself? What do you want me to say? Like Cyrus, ‘Sir, please fasten your seat belt.‘ Right?”

Avery was used to being treated respectfully by others. He got angry and wanted to quarrel with her, but when he thought that she might be pregnant now, he endured it

and did not get angry.

“Let’s go,” he said.

When Darlene started driving, he felt that something was wrong. “What do you mean by driving with your two feet?”

Darlene looked ahead and replied, “The left foot on the accelerator, the right on the brake. Not everyone has one foot crippled like you.”

Avery got angry this time. His hand had unknowingly grabbed onto his seat belt. “Do

know how to drive or not? Who taught you to drive in such a nasty manner? You can only use your right foot!”

you

Darlene retracted her left foot. “Is that so? I used to drive like this.”

Avery was very suspicious. Previously, when he was in a wheelchair, he had Darlene drive a car for him for a year. How did he survive until today?

He was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He was worried that something would happen and cause her to have an abortion. He said in a low voice, “Stop the car, I’ll

drive!”

Darlene gripped the steering wheel tightly. “That won’t do. I’ll practice more. I’m not

used to using only my right foot. Isn’t one of your feet injured? It’s inconvenient to drive. What if you have a car accident and hurt me?”

Just as she finished speaking, a dazzling car light shone.

It was already late at night. The road that Darlene took was relatively close to the hospital, but it was also a bit remote. There were no cars on the road.

The car light shot straight over. The speed of the car did not decrease but increased instead. It turned and hit the car that Darlene was driving.

Darlene had not driven for a long time. Seeing that the car was approaching intentionally, she was stunned for a moment and her reaction was a little slow.

When she was in a hurry to turn the steering wheel to avoid the car, Avery had already quickly blocked in front of her. He took the steering wheel from her hand and turned to the right. “Move back, you jinx.”

Darlene would not have mentioned the “car accident” just now if she had known it.

Her body quickly fell back to make space for Avery. When the car approached, through the dazzling headlights, Darlene could clearly see the face on the driver’s seat.

It was Nathen, but Darlene was not sure. The expression on his face was not the same as

usual.

Before Darlene could come back to her senses, the approaching car had already fiercely

turned aside and stopped.

Avery had also seen the face. After he confirmed that Darlene was fine, he questioned Darlene, “How dare you collude with a man to kill your husband in the middle of the night?”

Darlene did not understand. When she saw the car approach, her first reaction was that someone had driven the car under the influence of alcohol.

She froze for a very short moment, then quickly pushed open the door, and got out of the car. “It must be a misunderstanding. I’ll go and take a look.”

By the time Darlene got out of the car, Nathen had already stopped the car and got out of the car. He walked over with a guilty look on his face. “I’m really sorry. Are you all right? I don’t know what happened. The car seems to have broken the brakes.”

Avery got out of the car. When he thought of how Darlene had just defended Nathen and said that it was a “misunderstanding“, he was so angry that his face turned livid. “Since the brakes are broken, why didn’t you pull the handbrake to stop the car? Why did you even accelerate the turn to hit the car?”

Nathen explained, “I didn’t expect to encounter such a situation. I was a little flustered. I’m sorry. I can compensate you.”

Avery was unwilling to give up. “Do you think I’m a three–year–old child? You saw that I was not the only one in the car, and there was also Darlene, so you changed your mind at the last minute, right?”
