Chapter 190 Second Trial

Gustave’s expression completely froze at that moment.

He found it hard to believe what he saw. The report Nathen took out showed that the heart of the testedperson was matched with Darlene’s and thus could be donated and transplanted.

He had spent so much effort looking for it, but now the report was taken out by Nathen so casually.

His mind went blank for a moment, and the huge surprise and shock made him begin to doubt that whathe saw was just an illusion or a joke made by

Nathen.

He stared at the report for too long. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice, “How did you replace it?”

In this country and even abroad, Gustave had almost tried his best to replace it.

To save her, he managed to contact hundreds of patients who could not live long due to physical reasonsbut met the standards for the donation of their heart and seriously injured patients for a heart matchingtest, except for healthy people who could not donate their hearts.

Nathen looked at him. At this moment, for the first time, he felt that he experienced the joy of victory inthe secret contest with Gustave.

Nathen was truly special for Darlene. So many people were trying their best to replace a suitable heart forDarlene, but no one would expect that the needed.

heart was just in his body.

There were various coincidences in the world. It was hard to tell what would

happen.

But only he could replace such a coincidence.

It was because there was probably no other person in this world who would do

a heart matching test when his body was healthy and was ready to give his heart to another person.

Gustave didn’t expect it. So did Avery. No one could expect it or do it.

The corners of Nathen’s lips curled into a smile. “Gustave, you lost.”

Gustave did not hear what Nathen said. He just continued to stare at the report, his face still full ofdisbelief.

The report could not be fake, and there was the signature of the dean and the director of the examinationdepartment on it to prove the authenticity of the

report.

Nathen checked the test report on the computer and showed it to him.

Gustave finally recovered from his shock, and his eyes were full of great joy

that was about to overflow.

He opened his mouth and said sincerely, “Mr. Elicott, I should thank you on behalf of Darlene. Thank youvery much. If Darlene can successfully accept the heart transplant, then you will give her a new life. Shewill be grateful to you

for the rest of her life…”

Nathen interrupted him. “No need. I will help Darlene. That is between me and her. Whether she feelsgrateful or not is up to her. Compared to you, I am more familiar with her. You don’t have to say that forher.”

Gustave nodded, unable to conceal the excitement in his voice. “Yes, you are right. I will tell her the goodnews now. She should come and personally say

thank you, Mr. Elicott.”

“Let’s not tell her first. It is not too late to tell her when the transplant

operation really begins.” Nathen stopped him.

After all, the heart transplant could only be done before the donation party died. If the donation partysuddenly got better or something unexpected

happened, it may fail.

Gustave nodded. When he walked to the door, he stopped. He had always been a calm and collectedperson. It was rare for him to lose his cool like this.

He replied, “That’s true. There’s no hurry. We can talk about it in a few days.”

Nathen got up and put the report back into the drawer. He then copied the surveillance video on thecomputer into the USB and handed the USB to

Gustave.

“Mr. Walpole, don’t forget what I just said. Whether Darlene can get a divorce smoothly or not, before theheart transplant is successfully completed next month, I hope she can continue to stay in Baltimore. Afterthe heart

transplant, I won’t stop her from leaving.”

At that time, he would lose his life, and there was no way to interfere.

Because Darlene had found a suitable heart, Gustave’s mind was full of sudden excitement, and heimmediately agreed.

“No problem. Dr. Elicott, your help means a lot. Darlene should do that. When the divorce lawsuit is over,I will replace a reason to delay her plan of going abroad and wait for the heart transplant.”

Nathen handed the USB to Gustave. “Alright, then it’s a deal, Mr. Walpole, you are a busy man. I havenothing else to do. You can go.”

In fact, he was not willing to give these videos to Gustave, because he always felt that he was the onewho had been helping Darlene all these years.

The person who took out the most important evidence and helped Darlene in court was clearly him.

However, ever since Gustave and Darlene had met, all the credit had naturally

fallen onto Gustave.

Darlene’s gratitude and affection had also been given to Gustave. As for Nathen, she had become moredistant from him and rarely came to ask for help from him.

In the past, he felt resentful. And he even would rather Avery control Darlene than allow Gustave to takeDarlene away.

But now, he was willing to hand the credit to Gustave, only because Gustave was the only personDarlene could entrust to.

Five days passed quickly. Baltimore suffered heavy snow for several days in a row. It was a rare sunnyday when the divorce lawsuit case restarted.

Gustave still had lingering fears about the last time when Darlene vomited blood outside the court. Hedirectly showed Darlene’s report of her late–stage

heart failure and asked the court to allow her not to show up.

The plaintiff only had Darlene’s attorney, Hank, to deal with the lawsuit at the

court.

In principle, the plaintiff and the defendant had to personally attend the

divorce lawsuit.

However, Darlene’s situation was too special. Gustave managed to negotiate

with the court. The defendant, Avery, had no objection to Darlene not

personally attending, so the court made an exception and agreed.

When Gustave and Hank arrived there together, Avery and his lawyer

happened to arrive outside the court.

When the two sides went in, they met face to face. Avery had an unfriendly

expression. He glanced at Gustave and went in without saying anything.

Gustave noticed that the lawyer beside Avery was not the black–hearted

Malcolm who had defended him in the court last time. He was a little

surprised.

Hank whispered a few words, “It is said that Mr. Gallard thinks that Malcolm

only wants money. He does not distinguish right from wrong. So he is not

willing to hire Malcolm. In addition, he found an ordinary lawyer.

He probably felt that he had victory in his grasp and wanted to show his confidence.

”

Gustave laughed. “He didn’t remember it. Bad lawyer Malcolm defended him once not long ago.”

Hank followed him inside as he replied, “No matter what, this time, we’ll

win.”
