Chapter 187 Five Days

Darlene tightly gripped the blanket, forcing herself not to make a sound.

What was recorded on the recording device was the most desperate and helpless time she had last night. Her crying and pleading were mixed with Avery’s cold, angry, and reprimanding voice.

Fortunately, everything was clearly recorded. The entire fact that Avery forced her to hurt herself was irrefutable.

Even if Avery later argued that it was because he was drunk, the fact that the husband or wife had been drinking and refused to reform after repeated education, and the fact that he or she abused his or her family while drunk,

could still be considered grounds for divorce.

Moreover, now that Avery and Darlene were in the process of getting a divorce, forced sexual intercourse between one party and the other could be considered marital rape.

If Darlene could gather more beneficial evidence before the next court session,

then in the matter of divorce, unless the court completely disregarded the

evidence and sided with Avery openly, it would almost definitely be judged as

a divorce.

After the last time Avery lied through his teeth in court, this time, Darlene had

no choice but to make sure that even if Avery could find a way to refute some

evidence, the remaining evidence would still be enough to determine their

divorce.

Gustave comforted her, “Don’t worry, this time you can definitely get divorced. I will take good care of this for you. When the time comes, it will be used as evidence to testify for the court.

“Also, you don’t have to worry about your grandmother and younger brother. They have already settled down this morning. I left someone there to take care

of them.”

Darlene still wanted to ask a few more questions. Thinking that Avery was still outside, it was better not to mention Reina and Nigel.

She nodded. “OK. Thank you so much…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman’s voice could be heard. “Ms. Garcia, Avery is not bad to you. Why are you still thinking of divorcing him?

“Avery has lost his memories. What recording are you talking about? It can’t be a conversation between you and Avery, right? You even secretly recorded it and handed it over to other men. How shameless you are.”

Darlene looked at Katrina who had walked in. Katrina had a proud expression on her face. She felt that she had caught Darlene and Gustave’s secret affair.

Gustave looked at Katrina with a normal expression. “Has no one told you that you should knock on the door before entering someone else’s room?”

Outside the door, Avery walked in with a gloomy face and asked Katrina coldly, “Who asked you to come in?”

He had just gone to the doctor to get the report. When he left, he bumped into

Katrina and told her not to go in.

When Katrina was questioned by them at the same time, she felt a little

embarrassed.

However, when she thought of the conversation she had just heard outside,

she spoke with confidence, “Avery, I originally thought that Ms. Garcia and Mr. Walpole were not very close.

“So when I heard them talking outside, I thought that they were just chatting for a while.

“But I did not expect that Ms. Garcia would actually say that she wanted to give the recording which can be useful for the divorce to Mr. Walpole. Avery, you are her husband, yet she gave the recording between you two to another

man. I really feel angry for you, so I couldn’t help but come in.‘

Avery’s expression changed as he looked at Darlene. “Recording?”

He looked at Darlene’s hand that was placed on the blanket and almost

immediately thought of it. Darlene had been clenching her fists for the whole night last night. Even when she slept until dawn, she didn’t let go.

He thought that she was scared, but after hearing what Katrina said, he

understood.

He sneered, “Darlene, you are quite calm.”

No wonder she was unwilling to enter the emergency room last night. She knew she would most likely have to inject anesthetic if she entered the emergency room, so she had to let go.

Avery approached and stared at Darlene. “Take it out. Mr. Walpole, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.”

Gustave laughed. As he spoke, he had already pressed the bell at the bedside. “Mr. Gallard, you’re really interesting. You believe everything other women say. Ms. Swale is going to become your second mistress, like Ms. Sheridan, right?”

His words angered Avery and Katrina at the same time.

Katrina was so angry that her face turned livid. How could she not know what had happened to Vivian?

Vivian was almost deaf and mute. The face was completely disfigured. Now,

Vivian was almost a cripple.

Moreover, she was the daughter of the Swale family. She was much nobler

than Vivian.

Katrina and Avery said in unison, “Gustave, what do you mean?”

Avery recalled what he had said and asked, “Who is Ms. Sheridan?”

Gustave smiled, “She was once a smart person who knew how to play tricks. However, her tricks are all also based on your intelligence, Mr. Gallard.”

Darlene almost laughed out loud.

Although Avery did not know who “Ms. Sheridan” was or what he had done to “Ms. Sheridan“, he could still tell that Gustave and Darlene were mocking him.

Avery approached Darlene and reached out to press Darlene’s shoulder. Gustave spoke again, “What? The doctors and nurses are coming in right away. Do you want to beat us up now, Mr. Gallard? It will also be strong evidence to determine the divorce.”

Just after pressing the call bell, a nurse came in very soon. It was also time to change into a fresh dressing. The nurse pushed a small cart in.

Because Darlene was injured in a special position, the nurse looked at the few people in the ward. “Please wait outside. It’s time to change dressing for Ms.

Garcia.”

Avery was furious, and the gaze he looked at Darlene with could spit fire.

The nurse did not recognize him. Seeing that he was standing next to Darlene, she urged him with a somewhat bad tone, “Sir, I asked you to leave for a moment. Ms. Garcia needs to change her dressing.”

She thought that Avery had poor hearing, so she deliberately raised her voice. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gustave looked at Darlene, and when he was about to leave, he added, “Don’t worry, I will inform the court to hold a court early. In less than five days, the divorce will be determined. I’ll get you out of this place.”
