Chapter 100 You Are Really Crazy

For so many years, Darlene had always been dispensable to Avery.

She was always within his reach and would always be by his side, so Avery never felt how important shewas.

Or rather, he had never thought about it.

After the year when he was paralyzed in a car accident and fainted, too many things changed when hewoke up.

Vivian and Jax had left, and his father’s mistress had married into the Gallard family. The management ofthe Gallard Group had undergone a great change.

Everything had changed. Only Darlene didn’t.

Avery remembered that when he woke up from a year of coma, the first person he saw

was her.

Just like before, when he opened his eyes, she was there without any change.

Even the clothes that she wore, her hairstyle, and the expression on her face were exactly the same asbefore he fainted from the car accident.

That feeling was like looking at an item placed on the bedside table. No matter how many years oneslept or left, as long as he woke up or came back one day, that thing would definitely still be placed there,waiting for him.

Because it was so easy to obtain, it was not important at all. This was probably the deepest perceptionthat Avery had of Darlene in all these years.

But Avery forgot that Darlene was a human, not an item.

She had a heart, and she would be happy, angry, sad, or die of illness.

She was not destined to stay by his side forever. She would also leave disappointedly,

and she could also die of illness.

This was clearly normal, but Avery felt that he could not accept it at all.

How could she leave?

How could a person who had stayed by his side for ten years leave?

He looked at the empty intersection in a daze until a car stopped not far away from him. Andrew got outof the car with a gloomy face.

Andrew walked over with his walking stick and came to Avery’s car window. He knocked hard on thewindow and said something in a furious voice.

Avery could not tell if it was because of the car window, or because of other reasons that he did not heara word.

Andrew knocked for a long time before Avery in the car finally reacted. He opened the door lock, pushedopen the door, and got out of the car.

Andrew did not hear his explanation and raised his hand to slap him in the face. Avery did not react atall. He was like a puppet whose soul had gone, only looking at Andrew

blankly.

Andrew did not know why, but his heart trembled. He had never seen his grandson like

this.

However, he suppressed that strange feeling and said coldly, “You don’t even have a search warrant.How dare you bring Mr. Connor to search Gustave’s villa? Have you really gone crazy?

“Gustave sent the recording and videos to Lance of the police station. He called me. Do you know that itwill only cause trouble to both sides if the Gallard family and the Walpole family fall out? Do you knowyou will go to jail if the evidence is conclusive?”

Avery had a blank expression on his face. After Andrew finished, he replied calmly, “Then let me go tojail.”

Andrew said angrily, “What did you say? You unfilial grandson!’

Avery said in a daze, “She was also in prison. Speaking of which, I have never seen what it’s like inprison. I also want to go and take a look.”

Andrew slammed his cane on the ground. “Stupid! For a woman, you are really crazy!”

Avery did not speak again. He turned around and was about to get into the car.

Andrew asked coldly, “Let me ask you. Are Vivian and Jax with you? Did you take them away? Don’t youknow that what you did is illegal? You are simply lawless!

“I’m warning you. Hurry up and release them. Look at yourself. You’re mad!”

Avery opened the car door and turned around to look. “I won’t let Vivian live. Grandfather, don’t eventhink about it. As for Jax…”

He paused for a moment and sneered, “Jax… I’ll think about how to deal with him

later.”

Andrew said angrily, “What do you mean by that? Are you really nuts?”

Avery got into the car directly. Before Andrew could stop him, he stepped on the accelerator and the cardrove off.

He called Seth and said, “Where are you?”

It was a little noisy over there. Seth answered, “Twilight Paradise. Have a drink with Giovanni.Something’s wrong with you. It’s already early in the morning. Why are you calling me?”

Avery replied, “I’m coming.” Then he hung up the phone.

While Seth was still in a daze, he saw Giovanni sitting opposite him. He sighed, “Looks like he finallyknew.”

Seth was completely confused. “What?”

Giovanni replied, “Ms. Garcia is missing. Seth, you just came back from a business trip. You still don’tknow what happened today, right?”

Before Seth could reply, the door of the private room opened and Avery walked in from

outside.

The dim light in the private room was projected over, but Seth could still see that Avery’s face seemed tohave suddenly aged a lot.

Avery walked up to Giovanni and stared at him. “You lied to me.”

Giovanni felt a little apologetic. “Avery, I was forced to do it back then. As a doctor, I should respect thepatient’s wishes. Ms. Garcia didn’t want you to know.”

The last bit of hope in Avery’s mind was completely shattered.

He supported himself on the back of the sofa and sat down. His eyes were red as if he had suddenly lostall his strength. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known earlier, then…”

He couldn’t continue speaking. Only when he spoke did he realize how familiar these

words were.

He had said these words too many times in front of Darlene. Back then, when Darlene had faked herdeath, he had held her body and said that if he had known that she was in so much pain, he definitelywouldn’t have treated her like that.

When he found out that Darlene was unable to give birth to a child after the abortion, he said that if hehad known that it would be like this, he would definitely not have let

Darlene abort the child.

He was always regretting what he did, but he kept making mistakes.

Every step was wrong.

Avery leaned over and buried his face into his palm, his breathing heavy and he was unable to speak.

Giovanni said, “Back then, Ms. Garcia told me that if you didn’t care about her, there was no point intelling you.

“But if you care, she doesn’t want to tell you either. Perhaps she was afraid that you would be too sadafter knowing the truth, and you wouldn’t be able to take it.”

Giovanni wanted to comfort Avery, but Avery knew that the reason why Darlene was unwilling to tell himwas that she was disappointed.

He had broken her heart so many times, and she no longer wanted him to know anything about her,including her death.

Avery’s voice trembled as if he was talking to himself, “I should have known long ago. I should haveguessed it long ago. So many people have hinted at me. Why didn’t I believe

it?”

Back then, Seth had told him that Darlene’s condition was definitely not simple.

Giovanni had told him with such a serious expression that she had to prepare for the heart transplant assoon as possible.

He had clearly guessed it, but he was unwilling to believe it or admit it.

Even if Gustave sent the diagnosis report of Darlene’s heart failure to him, he chose to turn a blind eyeand not accept it.

But now, he could no longer deceive himself, and Darlene was gone. She had completely disappeared.

She was going to die, and she was not willing to look at him again before she died.

Avery sat there stiffly. After a long time, Cyrus called.

“Sir, our people took an important photo on the way to replace Ms. Garcia. It is the profile picture of a boy. Heresembles Nigel. It should be him.”
