Chapter 104 Find Ms. Garcia

As soon as Darlene brought her grandmother out of the bedroom, Darnell, who was standing outside thedoor, immediately asked, “Ms. Garcia, are you going out?”

Darlene nodded. “Yes, I want to take my grandmother to the hospital to take a look and treat her wounds.I can rest assured.”

Darnell immediately followed her downstairs. “That’s good too. That’s what Mr. Walpole said.Coincidentally, Mr. Walpole is also in the hospital. I’ll drive you and grandmother there.”

“No need. I’ll just take a taxi there. It’s not far from here to the hospital.” Darlene stopped and turnedaround to refuse.

your

Darnell looked a little embarrassed. “Ms. Garcia, this… Let me send you there. It’s troublesome to take ataxi. You don’t know which hospital Mr. Walpole is in. It’s better for you to go to his place.”

Darlene insisted. “You can tell me the name of the hospital. Darnell, my grandmother and I are fine. Ireally don’t need to trouble you. We can get a car outside.”

Darnell felt that something was wrong with her expression, but Darlene managed to leave Avery’s placewith great difficulty. Now, it was not good for him to restrict her.

Moreover, Gustave did not tell Darlene not to go out alone, and Darnell was not qualified to stop Darlene.

Thinking of this, he could only tell Darlene the hospital where Gustave was and let Darlene leave withher grandmother.

Not long after Darlene left, Darnell immediately called Gustave.

However, there was no way to get through. Darnell sighed. No matter how he thought about it, he feltuneasy. In the end, he drove to the hospital to replace Gustave.

Outside the villa, Darlene stopped a taxi and helped Reina into the car.

Only then did she remember that her phone had been changed. Before, she did not have much money inher account, and now it was all gone.

She did not have much cash on her. She took it out and counted it. It was less than 34 dollars.

She was afraid that there would not be much money left after she paid for the taxi, and it would bedifficult for her to even have a meal, let alone pay the fees for going out of

town.

The taxi drove to the station. Because it required identity information to buy a plane ticket, Darlene wasworried that Avery would replace her traces.

So she planned to go to the station first and take the short–distance bus to the city next to her. She couldbuy bus tickets without identity information and directly pay the fare

in the car.

This way, at least she could leave Baltimore first, and then when she arrived in another city, she wouldmake plans to replace a way to venture out of the country or continue to take a bus to a city further away.

She thought of a way and then considered what to do about the money.

There were only a few people whom she could ask for help, and her first thought was

Nathen.

But somehow, she thought that when she left with Gustave before, she just called. Nathen, and Averycame to her that night.

She now felt that there was something wrong with Nathen, and there was no way to

completely trust him.

Thinking of this, she dialed Aleena’s number on her phone.

There were only a few numbers that she could remember. Aleena had not changed her

number for many years, so she could barely remember it.

Because she was using an unfamiliar number now, she dialed several times in a row before Aleenafinally picked up the phone. Her tone was indifferent. “Who is it?”

Darlene breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately replied, “Aleena, it’s me, Darlene. How much money do you have? Can you lend me alittle first? I’m in big need of it.”

When Aleena heard her voice clearly, her tone suddenly became excited. “Darlene? You have noconscience! You left without a word. Where are you? Your grandmother is already so old. Don’t beimpulsive and run around with her.

“What’s more, what’s the situation with your own health? Why are you not in the hospital? Don’t youknow what condition you are in?”

Darlene was a little anxious. “Aleena, I don’t have time. I’ll talk to you when I settle down. Lend me somemoney. I want to take my grandmother away.”

Aleena was worried and could only give up. “You have to call me back later! I will

now?” transfer it to you now. Is the card you used before with you

Darlene took out her wallet and confirmed it. “Yes, transfer to this card. A few hundred dollars is enough.I can replace ways to earn money by myself when I settle down.”

Aleena sighed. “You have to be careful. I was wondering why you ran into a scumbag like Avery. Now,you are running away like a refugee every day. Alright, you should hurry up and go as far as you can. Trynot to use your driver’s license,”

Aleena quickly hung up the phone and transferred 3,400 dollars to Darlene’s bank card.

Scenery Villa.

Avery was still on the phone with the police in the study. He had just returned from searching aroundBaltimore, but he still had not found Darlene.

There was an urgent knock on the door outside the study, followed by Cyrus‘ voice. “Mr. Gallard, we gotnews of Ms. Garcia from Ms. Spence’s phone. Ms. Garcia called her to

borrow money. Ms. Garcia is probably on the way to leave.”

Avery’s face suddenly darkened, and he interrupted the policeman at the other end of the line. “Let’s talkabout it later.”

He quickly hung up the phone and rushed over to open the door. He looked at Cyrus who was outsidethe door. “What did you say?”

Cyrus played the recording of the conversation between Darlene and Aleena that he had just heard.

“About three minutes ago. Mr. Gallard, Ms. Garcia has probably brought her

grandmother along with her and is on her way out. There is a taxi navigation sound in the recording.”

Avery took the recording and roughly listened to it once. He immediately loosened the

tie around his neck and threw it away. Then, he rushed out.

“Go to the airport now.”

Cyrus immediately drove to the airport.

Halfway there, Avery felt that something was wrong. “She won’t go to the airport, and

she won’t use her ID. Cyrus, change the way to the short–distance bus station, and contact the people incharge of other stations to keep watch.”

Cyrus looked at the location where Darlene and Aleena had just been located. He opened the navigationto check the nearby station and then pointed to one. “Let’s go here first?”

Avery looked at it and nodded. “Sure.”

The car ignored several red lights and stopped outside the station in less than twenty

minutes.

The traffic at the short–distance bus station was bad, and the station hall was crowded. with people, withbags and luggage piled up everywhere.

Reina was very tired along the way. Darlene saw that Reina was panting heavily on the chair and had nostrength to get up. Darlene could only let Reina rest here for a while.

They had not eaten dinner yet. They would definitely not be able to endure hunger in the car later. Atleast they had to buy some bread and water, and the money in Darlene’s

bank card had to be withdrawn.

Darlene looked around and saw a convenience store not far away with an ATM. She told her grandma tosit properly and not move. She rushed to the convenience store and

went in to buy things.

In less than ten minutes, she withdrew money and bought things. Then she hurried to

the seat just now.

When she ran over with the shopping bag, Darlene’s heart sank. Her grandmother was

gone.

It was noisy everywhere. She looked over and saw that there was no trace of her grandmother exceptthe crowd.

It was impossible for grandma to leave on her own. She had just told Grandma to sit

here. Besides, Reina was exhausted and had no strength to run around.

Darlene had a bad feeling. She looked at a station security guard not far away and wanted to ask forhelp.

A voice came from behind her. “Darlene.”
