Chapter 235 Not Nathen’s Heart

Avery stood not far away and listened to the doctor.

He was very clear about it. Darlene would only believe that the heart in her body was not Nathen’s when she heard it directly from the people of the Elicott family.

She would not believe any other people’s words.

He really had no other way. He asked Cyrus, reluctant to accept the truth, “Could it be that the heart is really not Nathen’s? In that case, as long as we find enough evidence, we don’t need the Elicott family’s help.”

Cyrus looked helpless. “Sir, we’ve found out practically everything. What you said is very improbable.”

Actually, it was impossible. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The best evidence was that those from the black market, who were sentenced to death, had admitted to performing illegal surgery on Nathen.

If they had not done it, why didn’t they defend themselves?

Avery recalled the reactions of the people of the Elicott family in the past few days. Originally, it was only that he couldn’t get help from the Elicott family and hoped that the heart was not Nathen’s. He thought that he could save Darlene this way, and he also knew that this was almost impossible.

But now he thought about it, he suddenly felt something was wrong, “Cyrus, don’t you think that Martin took Nathen’s death too calmly? Apart from some grief on his face, he had no other reactions.”

Cyrus responded, “After all, he is old, and the whole thing must be too much for him to take. Even if he wants to take revenge, he might not have the energy to do it at the moment.”

Avery shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it looked. “I heard that he went abroad to deal with some company business a few days ago.

“If it really was too much for him to take, he should be in no mood to work even if the Elicott Group collapsed right now. So why would he take a business trip abroad at a time like this?

“Moreover, after I sent Sandra to him and told him the truth, he did not lay his hand on Sandra and gave up on suing me.’

He also remembered what he learned from the police a few days ago. “And Mr. Dorsey said that Martin helped find those from the black market and also send these criminals to the police station.

“Cyrus, those people have killed Nathen with scalpels. But after Martin found them, he did nothing to them and sent them to the police station unharmed.”

Cyrus also found it a bit strange, and his voice became a little heavy. “Perhaps, he thought that it was not worth it to punish those people himself. After he sent them to the police station, they would be sentenced to death and be killed anyway.”

Avery turned around and walked out of the hospital. “This is different. When I asked you to check Nathen’s background, I found something.

“When he was in university, he was a loner and a grumpy person. He pissed off some gangsters and was injured by those people.

“Later on, someone broke those people’s arms and legs. And they all told the police that Martin was the culprit. But the evidence was insufficient, so it was left unsolved.”

Cyrus remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

Avery said in a low voice, “Martin is kind on the outside but not on the inside. In the face of the murderers of his grandson, there was no way he would be so calm.

“With the Elicott family’s power, he could secretly torture them half to death before he sent them to the police and still get away with it.

“If Martin could show mercy to those who killed his grandson, he would not be so indifferent to Avery’s begging last night when Darlene was dying.

After leaving the hospital, Avery got into the car and continued, “Cyrus, this is not a simple thing. Back then, when Nathen planned to donate his heart, even Katrina and Sandra knew about it. Martin might know it too.

“Go and find out what Martin has been doing these days and where he went. And who he met when he took care of the company business abroad.”

Cyrus remembered that on the day when Sandra was taken away by the police, Martin had a fight with Leana in the hospital corridor.

He recounted what had happened. “A few days ago, I heard Martin tell Leana that he chose to not sue and pursue the matter for the sake of the Elicott Group’s future. He didn’t want to make an enemy of the Gallard family and the Swale family.”

Avery sneered, “Cyrus, since you heard it, then Martin didn’t say those words for Leana to hear but for you to hear.

“Katrina is abandoned by the Swale family. As for Sandra, she was the target of public criticism. Even if he chose to pursue the matter, the Swale family, the Bullock family, and the Gallard family wouldn’t be

pissed at all.”

Cyrus’ face sank. “Martin is quite shrewd. It seems that this matter is indeed not simple.”

Avery replied, “Let’s find out what Martin did abroad first. I don’t think he went abroad for business. Perhaps, Nathen had been transferred to the country he went to.”

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Cyrus could not help but ask, “Then if Ms. Garcia’s heart is not Nathen’s, whose is it?”

Avery was silent for two seconds and snapped, “Didn’t I ask you to investigate? How would I know?”

Cyrus coughed and did not dare to ask any more questions. He focused back on driving.

In the hospital.

There could only be one person in the intensive care unit to look after the patient.

Considering Darlene’s mental state, Dakota asked Gustave to stay in the ward to take care of Darlene.

The Swale family couldn’t bring themselves to leave Darlene alone in the hospital, so they rested in a lounge on the same floor.

It was almost midnight at this time. It had been a tough night, and everyone was exhausted.

In the intensive care unit, Gustave also found it unbelievable that Nathen donated his heart.

He figured that he should ask Darnell to investigate the whole thing. But Darlene had just calmed down a little, and he did not dare to mention those things to her.

Darlene had been lying there for days and wanted to sit for a while. Gustave helped her sit on the edge of the bed and then went to the bathroom to get water for her to wash up.

When he came back with the water, the person on the bed was gone.

The water basin in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. He rushed out and searched everywhere. The people of the Swale family also rushed over.

Even the head of the hospital joined the search. Finally, they found Darlene on the rooftop. She was sitting on the edge of the roof with her legs swaying.
