A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 195 Heart Transplant

The relaxed expression on Gustave’s face faded a little. He stood outside the elevator door and looked at the text message. For a moment, he did not enter

the elevator.

The door had already opened. Darlene walked in and turned around to look at Gustave, who was still standing there staring at his phone. She asked, “Are you alright?”

His mood did not seem good.

Gustave put away his phone and entered the elevator with a relaxed expression. He replied, “It’s fine. Aleena and some others are still waiting outside the hospital. They said that they will celebrate with you.

“Why don’t you go to my place for a meal first? Later, I will help you with the transfer procedures. We will change to another hospital, and you don’t have to

meet Avery again.”

Darlene’s voice was a little anxious. “There is no need for that. I feel that my current physical condition is good. Can I go abroad directly to see my grandmother and brother?”

Although it wasn’t that she didn’t trust Gustave, she didn’t even know which country they were in, so there was no way she could truly be at ease.

Moreover, she had seen many of Avery’s methods. Even though he had no choice but to divorce her and even entered the emergency room pitifully, he

might use other methods when he woke up.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Since she had already decided to divorce, she was completely free to go wherever she wanted. She wanted to go as far away as possible right now. She didn’t want to wait any longer and was worried that something might happen

again.

Gustave didn’t respond for a moment. Darlene immediately felt uneasy and

continued, “I can go abroad alone. Just tell me where my grandmother and

brother are.

“Now that Avery and I have divorced and he has not woken up in the emergency room, he can’t stop me. I will definitely be able to go abroad alone.”

Gustave’s expression was unnatural. “Let’s wait a little longer. There is no hurry. You should continue to recuperate in the hospital for a period of time

first.

“We will set off after the doctor says that you can travel far away in your physical condition. Moreover, we may be able to find a suitable heart for you

in the country soon.”

Darlene felt that there was something wrong with his words. A few days ago, Gustave had personally told her that when she divorced, he would

immediately take her abroad and go to her grandmother and brother.

He also said that the hospital and doctors that could treat her were all

arranged to find a suitable heart. Perhaps the probability of finding it would be

higher.

She felt very strange. “Did something happen? If it was just waiting for the

heart, I could wait abroad. If there was a suitable heart in the country, I could

come back.”

She was afraid and did not dare to stay in the country any longer. Maybe she

would wait for nothing. She might not get a suitable heart, but Avery would trap her in his place again.

If that were really the case, the remaining time of her life would most likely be

completely wasted. She wouldn’t even be able to see her own grandmother and

younger brother for the last time.

She didn’t even dare to imagine such a possibility. Her voice was a little stiff. “I’ve thought it through. I want to go abroad now, regardless of whether a

suitable heart can be found or not. In the last period of time, I want to stay by my grandmother and younger brother’s side.

“After all, you still have many things to do in the country. It should be difficult for you to leave in a short time. I have already troubled you so much. I can go

by myself.”

Gustave knew that she was overthinking it. He suddenly changed his mind and wanted her to postpone going abroad. She would definitely think that

something else had happened.

He couldn’t stop her from going abroad, so he could only tell her the truth.

“Darlene, Dr. Elicott has already found a suitable heart for you. His original

intention was for me not to tell you first. He was afraid that if something happened later, you would be upset. It is not good for your health.

“But it has been confirmed. The probability of accidents is very small. You

should be mentally prepared. In less than a month, you should be able to get a heart transplant.”

Darlene froze and looked at him incredulously. “How is that possible? How could Dr. Elicott not tell me? He mentioned it to me once before, but he hesitated and said that it was not confirmed yet.”

Gustave was afraid that she would be too excited and expectant when she knew about this news. The more excited she was, the greater the blow she would suffer.

He nodded. “It is true. I have seen the test report. It is absolutely true. Dr. Elicott did not tell you because he was afraid that you would be too happy. In your current situation, great joy and sorrow are harmful to your body.

“I know that I can’t stop you from going abroad now. I can only tell you. You should treat it calmly first. I will wait for the day of your heart transplant with you.”

Once he said this, Darlene would naturally be unable to go abroad.

The time for the heart donation was an hour after death. People could only donate their hearts after death, but the time had to be controlled for a short period of time after death to ensure the activity of the heart.

Darlene was so happy that she couldn’t speak. She only opened her mouth when she got out of the elevator. “Great, I should go thank Dr. Elicott now. He has helped me too much. Now, my life is saved by him and that donor.”

Gustave looked at her and saw that she was so excited that her eyes were red,

and tears were falling.

He sighed, but he felt extremely happy for her from the bottom of his heart. “I knew I shouldn’t tell you now, and I told you to calm down. Look at you. You

are so emotional now.”

Darlene turned around impatiently. “I’m going to see Dr. Elicott and thank

him.”

Gustave stopped her. “Don’t go yet. There are so many people waiting for you outside. Eat first. Don’t worry. I’ll call Dr. Elicott over. You have plenty of time

to thank him.”

Darlene stopped and looked at him. This good news made her pale face a lot

rosier.

She smiled, a little embarrassed, “Yes, I am too excited. I should calm down.

Let’s go back first. It is time to celebrate. I should also thank you.”

Gustave sent her out. “Speaking of which, the divorce and the heart transplant

were all thanks to him.”

Darlene was excited in her heart. She didn’t hear what Gustave said clearly, and she didn’t know that the evidence was actually provided by Nathen.

When they arrived at Gustave’s villa, other than Aleena, there were also Elisa and Josefina. They had just come over from the crew.

They suggested barbecuing and eating together. Gustave wanted to let them have a good time and let the servants in the villa go home first.

Only Darnell insisted on staying here.

Darlene and Elisa had not seen each other for a long time. They were good friends in high school. When they washed vegetables in the kitchen together, they chatted about the things when they were studying.

She did not know why, but she thought of the large house of photos that she had found at Nathen’s place. They were all her photos.

At that time, Nathen said that it was Elisa who took the photos and asked him to give them to Darlene.

Thinking of this, Darlene casually mentioned, “I never had so many photos before. Thank you. When I saw the photos, I was shocked.”

Elisa paused for a moment and looked at her strangely. “What photos?”
