Later, Avery was spoiled by Darlene andbecame pickier and pickier. Therefore, all of Avery’s meals were taken care of by Darlene alone, and shesimply became the only servant in his house. Darlene served Avery like serving an Emperor. Shewashed clothes and cooked during the day, and warmed his bed at night. Avery said that Darlene hadracked her brains and tortured Vivian for three years. Did he think that Darlene would have time? Thephone rang and interrupted Darlene’s thoughts. Darlene pressed the answer button, and Nigel’s weakvoice came from the other side. “Darlene, are you not here yet?” Darlene just remembered that she hadpromised to go to the hospital to see Nigel yesterday, but Darlene did not expect that those thingshappened later.

He won’t be hospitalized here.” Nathen Elicott frowned. “Why? Don’t listen to others.Foreign doctors are not better. The medical level here is already top–notch. Besides, in your currentsituation, I am thinking of a way to replace a suitable heart for you.
