Chapter 94 The Dead Cannot Be Revived

When he was about to open the door and get out of the car, Avery looked out the window and saw ablack Benz passing by his car.

Cyrus glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Avery seemed to have no intention of getting out ofthe car. He asked, “Mr. Gallard, do you want to get out of the car together with us, or should I go to theairport to look for them first?”

Avery looked at the back of the car leaving through the rearview mirror and only spoke after a long while,“Is Gustave still in the country?”

Cyrus felt that his question was a little strange, but he answered honestly, “Yes. His grandfather’s 80thbirthday is coming. It is rare for Mr. Walpole to stay in the country for a long time.”

Avery opened the car door and got out. “Why did he come to the airport?”

Cyrus followed him down and replied, “He might be here to pick someone up. I’m not

too sure about this.”

Avery recalled that there seemed to be something wrong with that glance.

However, since Darlene was released by his grandfather, she should not be taken. by Gustave byaccident, unless they had made a plan in advance.

away

After entering the airport and searching around, he could not replace Darlene. Avery checked the informationof the airport boarding staff, and there was not even a face like

Darlene’s.

Even if she used a fake identity to board the plane, she should not be able to take the

identity of a person who did not look like her at all and buy tickets. At least there should

be some similarities.

As the boarding information went down, Avery’s expression became more and more gloomy. He saidcoldly, “She didn’t leave. Let’s check the surveillance cameras.”

The staff members brought a player over and explained, “Mr. Gallard, the surveillance cameras in theairport hall have been broken for nearly twenty minutes. The other surveillance cameras are all working.”

Avery frowned as he watched the videos and asked, “There are so many people coming

and going to the airport. How could the surveillance be broken?”

A staff member replied, “Our colleagues in the monitoring room also said that it was very strange. Itsuddenly broke down, and we haven’t figured out the reason yet. The first thing we did was to fix it, butwe still lost about twenty minutes of surveillance footage.”

Avery carefully checked the videos, and as expected, he did not see Darlene.

If she had come to the airport, she must have left during the twenty minutes when the cameras did notwork.

Furthermore, she definitely had not entered the boarding gate because the surveillance at the boardinggate was working. He did not see anyone like Darlene.

Avery clenched his fists and calculated the time. He thought of the time when Gustave’s

car left.

He realized that Gustave’s car left at that time.

He got up and left the monitoring room of the airport. He could not replace them at the airport, so he couldonly leave a few bodyguards to keep an eye on them and

elsewhere to replace them.

In an inconspicuous corner not far away, Nathen looked at him.

go

Avery did not notice that. He was only looking for Darlene and hurriedly walked out.

Nathen took out his phone and looked at the two photos he had just taken. He was

hesitating whether to send them to Avery.

After hesitating for a moment, he called Darlene first.

On the other hand, Darlene was in Gustave’s car. The car quickly drove to the suburbs. There wasGustave’s villa and private planes in the suburbs. They could go there for a rest and then go abroadovernight.

Darlene felt good, but her grandmother was old and could not take it. In addition, her grandmother hadcar sickness. If they went abroad by plane at once, she might be in danger.

So no matter how anxious they were, they could only replace a remote and safe place first to rest andrecuperate.

Finally, silence fell upon the car. They were temporarily safe. Darlene was very tired.

Her grandmother was leaning against her. Darlene was also dozing off, leaning against

the window.

Darlene had just narrowed her eyes for a while when her phone rang. She immediately

woke up, nervous.

Before answering the phone, she even immediately looked back, worried that Avery’s car would catch upagain.

When she left with Nathen before, Avery came with the police and chased after Nathen’s car frombehind. The cars hit together.

The memories made her feel like in a dream although it had been a long while.

When she saw the caller’s name on the phone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was

Nathen.

After answering the phone, Nathen’s voice came over. “Darlene, I didn’t see you in the ward just now. Iheard that Andrew asked you to leave. Mr. Gallard was mad in the hospital and went to replace you. Whereare you now? Are you safe?”

Darlene hesitated but still did not tell him directly. “My grandmother and I are safe. Dr. Elicott, you don’thave to worry about us. We will go abroad. I am very grateful to you, and I’m sorry that I have causedyou a lot of trouble.”

Nathen did not like what she said. Obviously, she was saying goodbye. He had been waiting for the dayshe left Avery, but he definitely did not want her to leave with

another man.

For so many years, Avery had bullied her. Nathen was the only one who helped her.

In such a situation, Darlene should have undoubtedly asked for his help and left with

him.

There was a photo of Darlene and Gustave leaving together on the phone. Nathen looked

at it, and his voice was still as usual.

“How can I not worry about you? You and your grandmother are not in good health. What’s more, yourgrandmother is already old. The long journey will be hard to take for

her. Tell me where you are, and I’ll be right there. I can also help you.”

Darlene remembered the two times when she left with Nathen before. For the first time, he was chasedby Avery, and there was a rear-end crash. Nathen was taken away by the police and lost his job.

For the second time, the police pointed their guns at Nathen. He was taken away by the police again.

She already owed him. If she let Nathen get involved again, she was afraid that his future would really beruined.

Thinking of this, she refused, “Dr. Elicott, I am fine. I will take good care of Grandma and go abroad.Don’t worry about us. When we settle down there, I will tell you that I

am safe.”

Nathen restrained his displeasure. “Darlene, don’t trust others. I…”

Darlene was worried that if she kept talking like this, the police would locate her position. So sheinterrupted, “I can do it myself. Thank you, Dr. Elicott. The signal here is not good. I’ll hang up.”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone. She thought of something and looked at Gustave.“Should I throw my phone away?”

She remembered that the police tracked the suspects mostly through their phones on

1.

Gustave was reading a document. Hearing this, he glanced at her and said, “If you don’t mind, you cancut the SIM card and throw it away, just in case.”

Darlene took out the SIM card from her phone and broke it. Then he opened the window

and threw the phone and the card out.

“It’s safer this way.”

Gustave smiled. “It’s your phone. As long as you don’t feel bad, just do it.”

Darlene shook her head. “It doesn’t matter. As long as we can really leave this place,

only I and Grandma matter.”

She could even leave Nigel’s ashes here. The dead could not be revived, and the ashes did

not matter that much.

Avery hid the ashes well. She could let it go. As long as she could successfully bring her

grandmother away, she would be happy.

Nathen hung up the phone. Through the call just now, he located Darlene’s position.

The people Nathen sent secretly followed them to Gustave’s villa in the suburbs. Then Nathen sentAvery the photo of Darlene and Gustave entering the villa, as well as the

location of the villa.

When the message was sent out, he held the phone tightly. “Darlene, you should not have left with him.How could you go with Gustave after leaving Avery?”
