Chapter 78 The Past

All these years, Darlene had been repeatedly dreaming about the fall ten years ago.

The orphanage organized the children to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. When shesat at the edge of the mountain cliff, she was pushed down the top of the mountain and fell into the sea.

After that fall, she did not remember much about what happened before she was twelve years old, butshe only remembered that time she fell clearly.

She could still remember that when she suddenly fell from the top of the mountain, the children on themountain and the leader screamed in horror. The morning wind

whistled past her ears.

The sun popped out, the orange sunlight shone on the surface of the sea, and the waves roaredendlessly.

All of that quickly enlarged in her eyes, and her mind was blank. After her body fell rapidly, she fell intothe sea with a “bang”.

Before her body sank into the water, she heard people shouting on the surface of the sea, and severalpeople stepped on the surfboard to come over to her.

She saw the face of a big boy who looked like he was in his twenties. When he got close to her, hejumped directly from the surfboard into the sea and swam to her.

Providing timely help would always leave a deep impression.

After he reached out and got Darlene up, a few men who came with him originally planned to help, butinstead laughed and jeered, probably believing that he could

successfully save her.

That place was not too far from the beach, and it was not too difficult for someone good at swimming tosave her.

The boy held her and swam to the shore. He looked at her and said, “Aurora, it’s you.”

But soon, his expression changed. He obviously lost his strength. He could not hold her in his armsanymore, and his body began to sink.

She heard him complain in a low voice, “I was unlucky.”

When the waves rolled over, it was very sudden. His body seemed to have a problem. He held her tightlyand could not speak. He turned around and looked at the other men who were surfing.

The waves rushed them into the middle of the sea. He lost his strength, and the waves took him underthe water.

A man jumped down and swam over to grab her arm, and then the big boy’s hand let go

of her hand.

The big boy’s eyes disappeared, and she had never seen them again. She could not

remember them anymore.

Darlene’s forehead broke in a cold sweat. She lay on the bed and grabbed the blanket tightly. When shefell into the nightmare, her entire body trembled violently.

Seth had already carried the medical kit over. He held the electronic thermometer and was about tomeasure Darlene’s body temperature. Just as the thermometer in Seth’s hand reached Darlene’s

forehead, the person on the bed seemed to feel it. Darlene’s hand holding the quilt immediatelytightened.

Avery stood to the side. Seeing Darlene’s sudden reaction, he immediately cast a questioning gaze onSeth.

Seth felt wronged. After testing Darlene’s body temperature, he threw the thermometer to the side andsaid with some dissatisfaction, “It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t touch her. Can you two stop beingsurprised?”

Avery obviously felt that Darlene had just been sleeping well, and her sudden resistance was becauseSeth approached her with the thermometer.

He naturally wanted to replace fault with Seth. “I already said that her body temperature is

normal. You don’t have to test it.”

Seth was so angry that he laughed and directly quit. “She doesn’t seem to be sick. Don’t ask me to treather. I’m leaving.”

As he spoke, he really reached out to pick up the medical kit on the bedside table and planned to leavedirectly.

He wanted to examine Darlene’s body temperature, and now it became his fault?

Avery had no choice right now. Seth had come all the way here, so Seth was the only one

who could examine Darlene.

It was rare for Avery to compromise. He turned around and sat down on the sofa. “Alright, I won’t sayanything anymore. You can check her up and prescribe some

medicine.”

Only then did Seth continue to examine Darlene with the stethoscope, while accusing Avery, “It has onlybeen a few days since she faked her death and came back.

“Let’s not talk about whether she is sick or not, normal people can’t stand your torment. She just woke upfrom her coma last night, right?”

Avery shifted his gaze away from the bed. “It’s not my problem, at least not just my

problems.”

Seth turned around to look at Avery and gave Avery a sneer.

Avery guiltily changed his tone. “Alright, it’s my problem. You can prescribe her some medicine. If shedoesn’t get better, I will take her to the hospital later when she wakes

up.”

Seth sat down on the sofa opposite Avery. Seth placed the medical kit on the coffee table, opened it, andtook out the medicine.

“No matter how I look at it, her condition is a little strange. Her vitality is so much worse than before. Doyou have the medicine she took before? How about I bring some to the hospital for a check-up? Youshould also take her to the hospital for a check-up.”

Avery replied, “She’s done a check-up. We went there two days ago, and it still turned out to be anordinary heart disease.”

Seth was writing down his prescription with a pen. When he heard this, his hand paused for a moment,and he raised his head to look at Avery. “Go to another hospital to have a

look.”

He didn’t want to say much, but he had heard that Vivian and Jax were caught having an

affair in the hotel by Sandra last night.

Sandra was angry. The hotel had spread the news to Andrew. If Andrew hadn’t managed to suppresspublic opinion, Vivian would probably go viral now.

Seth always felt that Vivian was not a good person. As for Jax, he was not a good person

either.

As for the hospital that Avery had brought Darlene to, the person in temporary charge

was Jax.

Avery obviously understood as well. He frowned and said, “Jax doesn’t have the guts.”

Seth nodded. “I won’t judge. In any case, it’s best if you change to another hospital and personally watchover them to give Darlene a check-up.

“Heart disease isn’t my research focus, but I’m not completely ignorant. It is not impossible to vomitblood when normal heart disease occurs, but it won’t be so

serious.”

Avery recalled the diagnosis paper that Gustave had given him before. It said that Darlene was in thelate stage of heart failure.

That was considered a terminal illness. He could not accept it, so he chose not to believe

1.

Avery could not face such a fact. He shook his head. “No, she has had a heart attack for so many years.It won’t suddenly worsen. I know this.”

Seth left the prescription and medicine on the coffee table and stood up with the

medical kit in his hand.

“It’s just to change a hospital. It won’t take much time, and you won’t lose anything. This is all I have tosay. It’s just my kind reminder. In short, think about it yourself.”

He left the guest room and closed the door. The guest room returned to silence.

Avery sat silently on the sofa and did not get up for a long time. He stared at Darlene,

who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

After a long time, he still took out his phone and found Giovanni on his contact list.

Giovanni had recently returned to the US. He was an internationally renowned medical

expert.

Previously, Avery contacted him and asked him to treat Nigel, but then an accident. happened, and Nigeldied.

His fingers lingered on the contact list for a while before he sent a message: “Giovanni,

I would like to ask for your help to do a checkup for my wife.”
