Chapter 69 He Is Afraid

The reporters wanted to ask Avery more, but Cyrus rushed in from outside the hotel and called for thehotel security guards to stop the reporters who were chasing after them.

“Sorry, I won’t accept any interviews.”

The reporters’ attention was all on Avery. Vivian took advantage of the timing to rush

out of the hotel.

Avery had already gotten into the car, and it was obvious that he did not have the

slightest intention of helping Vivian get away.

When the reporters saw Avery’s car leave, they immediately turned around and surrounded Vivian again.

In the hotel just now, the security guards would help drive away the reporters, but

outside the hotel, nobody planned to help Vivian.

The reporters crazily surrounded Vivian with their cameras 360 degrees around, leaving no blind spots,and their questions were tricky and unpleasant.

Some reporters directly started live broadcasting on the spot. In less than half an hour, the topic “Newpopular actress Vivian meeting a man in the hotel and being caught by the man’s wife” quickly becamepopular on various social media.

Avery sat in the back seat. Cyrus felt that the atmosphere was a little too heavy. As he drove, he turnedon the radio. When Avery was not working during a ride, he would listen to the finance radio occasionally.

But as soon as the radio was turned on, a female reporter’s excited voice sounded, “We are now atCrown International Hotel. We can see that the scene is already overcrowded. The lady in front of mewearing a mask and sunglasses is…”

Cyrus immediately turned off the radio. He glanced at the rearview mirror, but Avery did not react. Itseemed that he was thinking about something else.

Vivian’s affair with Jax was a certainty.

That was not very important to Avery, but if they had been together for many years, then the photo takenin the airport back then would probably be the two of them.

Thinking about it carefully, Vivian had left with Jax back then, which meant that all her

accusations against Darlene from the beginning to the end might all be completely

false.

Vivian lied to Avery. She lied to him, and let him torture his wife who had taken care of

him for so many years until now.

Avery’s hands, which were hanging by his side, gripped the edge of the seat tightly. For some reason, hefelt hot. His guilty conscience and powerlessness brought him sudden hot and choking feelings.

He opened the window. The wind in the middle of the fall night was so cold that it

started to hurt his face.

Avery suddenly did not know how he should face Darlene now.

Many lies were slowly being uncovered, and the truths were about to appear in front of

him.

However, he was afraid and did not dare to investigate deeper. He did not dare to

remove another layer of the veil that covered the ugly truth.

The knife that cut into the skin, every malicious word that stabbed into the heart, the

life of an unborn baby, and the life of a twelve-year-old boy…

A broken mirror couldn’t return to its original state. Avery was clear that even if he

knew he was wrong, he would not be able to make up for it.

The car stopped outside the hospital. Cyrus turned around and said, “Sir, we’ve arrived

at the hospital.”

Avery did not dare to get out of the car. He had never been someone who would run away, but at thatmoment, he was truly afraid.

He reached out to the car door but did not push it open. He said, “You go first. I will sit

here for a while.”

Cyrus nodded. He pushed open the car door and went not far away.

Avery took out a cigarette and lit it. He looked at his palm and found that it was trembling.

He held the cigarette between his fingers and stretched out the window. That little bit of light flickered inthe dim night, and there was no one outside the hospital.

Get Boyt

Avery rested his arm on the car door in a daze. He only came back to his senses when the

cigarette had burned his fingertips.

In the end, he got out of the car. When he entered the hospital elevator, he thought to himself thatDarlene would eventually forgive him.

He thought, I let her down so many times these years. Didn’t she always act as if nothing hadhappened?

At most, this time, I’ll apologize and compensate her more. She has loved me for so many years. She’llforgive me.

When he reached ICU, he heard the sound of a television broadcast coming from inside

the ward.

Avery’s heart tightened, and he immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.

Darlene, who was on the bed, had already woken up. A servant was standing by her side, and she wassitting on the bed watching TV. On the TV was Vivian.

Avery felt extremely guilty. When he heard the voice on the television, he did not dare to turn back tolook. He only walked towards Darlene. “You’re awake. Don’t watch television. Take a rest first. Do youwant to eat something? I will bring it over for you.”

Darlene took the remote control and turned off the television. She took her phone and flipped through itas if she did not hear Avery’s voice.

Avery brought a glass of warm water over. “Did you drink any water after waking up? You’ve beenunconscious for so long. Have more water.

Darlene looked at the glass that Avery handed over and then looked at him. Her voice was a littlesarcastic. “I’m not thirsty. Thank you.”

The servant at the side sensed the awkward atmosphere and immediately got up. “Sir, I

will leave first.”

Avery did not say a word and sat down by Darlene’s bedside.

The servant left the ward and closed the door.

In front of outsiders, Avery was still unwilling to condescend.

Now that there were only the two of them, his attitude immediately lowered. He

reached out to hold Darlene’s hand. “Darlene, I’ve found out something. Perhaps I was really…”

Darlene took back her hand that was about to be held by Avery and looked at him with amusement.“Avery, don’t tell me that you guessed the truth at this time and want to repent.”

Avery was very guilty. He was not confident when he looked at Darlene. “I will

investigate it. No matter what, I was the one who did wrong before. You can have whatever you want. Iwill make it up to you.

“When I replace out the truth, if Vivian really framed you, I will make her pay the price.”

Avery added urgently, “Believe me once. If Vivian really framed you, I will definitely make her pay doublefor everything you have suffered.”

Darlene placed the phone to the side. “Alright, everything I want? Let me go. Then we can settle ourgrudges. Avery, I don’t need the truth. I don’t want anything.”

Avery’s expression darkened slightly. “I can’t let you go. Anything else is OK.”

“Other than that, what else can you give me?” Darlene looked at him as if she had heard

a joke.

“You want to tell me that you are sorry for killing my baby and my younger brother? And you are sorry forbeating me, sending me to an asylum then prison? And you are sorry that you were blinded?”

Darlene sneered, “Avery, please, don’t disgust others, and don’t disgust yourself. You’ll be responsiblefor what you’ve done. Let me go. It is good for everyone.”
