A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Forget Darlene

Martin narrowed his eyes. At his age, he had experienced much. No matter whether he was overjoyed or distressed, it was very difficult for people to tell his emotions.

Martin’s voice was still calm. “Leana, there are not many people left in the Elicott family. Now that Nathen is gone, many people in the Elicott Group want to take it over. If I cry in pain here today, tomorrow, the Elicott Group may have a new boss.”

Leana was sad. She said sarcastically, “Indeed. You are always calm and can weigh the pros and cons.

“So you can calmly face Nathen’s death and even let go of Avery, who indirectly caused Nathen’s death.

“You don’t want to lose such a good partner as the Gallard Group so that the Elicott Group can grow stronger. I have to say that I admire you very much.”

Martin frowned. He was displeased with Leana’s tone. “I know that you are sad right now, but you have to know that if I were to sue Avery for concealing the truth, I would sue Katrina as well. This way, I might offend the Gallard and the Swale families.

“Now Gustave is still lying in bed. It is hard to tell whether he can survive. The Walpole Group has suffered quite a bit. If I were to sue him, who else could the Elicott Group cooperate with? How could we grow stronger?

Leana clenched her fists tightly and said in a hoarse voice, “But Nathen is gone. He is not missing. He is dead.

“What is the point of us keeping the Elicott Group? Even at the cost of the group, I have to get revenge for Nathen and make all the people who directly and indirectly killed him pay the price.”

Martin was impatient. He said coldly, “Leana, calm down. Nathen donated his heart on impulse. It was caused by a mental disease. We can’t blame others.

“So what if you get revenge for him? If you destroy the Elicott Group, you will have nothing when I die.”

Martin combined hard tactics with soft ones. “Keep the Elicott Group. When I die, you won’t have anyone to take care of you, but you still have the group. With it, you won’t have to live a hard life.

“Moreover, the group has existed for decades. It is our responsibility to keep it.”

Leana lost control of her emotions. “You are not a qualified grandpa. In your eyes, compared to the interests of the group, Nathen’s life is not worth mentioning, right?

“Nathen is dead. If you insist on letting Avery go for the sake of the group and don’t care about Nathen’s body and funeral, I will break off all relations with you.

“From now on, I have nothing to do with the Elicott family. I will find Nathen’s body. You don’t care about him, but I do.”

Martin raised a hand in anger. “I do this for the sake of the Elicott family. How dare you say something rude?”

Leana did not dodge. She looked coldly at Martin, who was about to slap her in the face. “If you want to slap me, do it now. After today, I will no longer be a member of the Elicott family. By then, you can’t slap me even if you want to.”

Martin was furious. “You… How dare you!”

Leana coldly said, “Take good care of the group. After you die, the group will go with you. Don’t worry. I won’t take any money from the group. I can support myself.”

Leana turned around and left. Martin stood where he was. The anger on his face slowly turned into sadness and helplessness.

No mistakes were allowed in Martin’s plan. Even Leana could not know about it.

Martin was worried that Leana would not agree to the hypnosis. He was also worried that Leana would be impatient and let others discover something.

After Martin left the hospital, he went abroad.

Before Martin left, he asked Loretta to keep a close eye on Leana in secret and not let her do anything rash.

When Martin arrived at the foreign hospital, it was already evening.

Gregory, an internationally renowned psychologist and the attending doctor for Nathen’s treatment, stayed overnight in the ward with several other doctors.

Nathen’s former driver and housekeeper, Frank, stood outside the ward with a worried expression.

When Frank saw Martin come over, he finally relaxed a little.

Frank immediately walked over and respectfully said, “Mr. Martin, you are here.”

Martin nodded and walked over to the ward. “Hasn’t Nathen woken up after such a long time?”

Frank replied, “Around one in the afternoon, Mr. Elicott woke up once, but soon he fell asleep again.

“Gregory said that it was because of the hypnotic. Mr. Elicott’s consciousness was weak, so when he woke up, he was in a trance and soon fell asleep again.

“According to Gregory, Mr. Elicott could hardly be hypnotized and forget Ms. Garcia.”

Martin’s face darkened. “I know. I will talk to Dr. Smith.”

Martin had spent so much effort to bring Nathen here. No matter what, he could not let Nathen remember Darlene.

Otherwise, what was the meaning of bringing Nathen here? This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if Martin could stop Nathen from donating his heart this time, what about next time? What if Darlene needed Nathen’s heart again?

Martin still clearly remembered that when he took Nathen away from those criminals in the black market, Nathen had been voluntarily injected with anesthetic, waiting for his heart to be taken away and donated to Darlene.

This meant that Nathen really wanted to donate his heart. He didn’t have any other purposes. He only wanted to give his life to Darlene.

When Martin took Nathen off the operating table and took him away, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

At that moment, Martin made up his mind. No matter what, he would make Nathen forget Darlene.

Martin secretly found a healthy heart for Darlene. The owner was a cancer patient.

Darlene’s heart transplant was reasonable and legal. There was nothing that violated human ethics.

After all, Martin was from a medical family. His resources and connections in the medical field were much better than those of the powerful Gallard and Walpole families.

Therefore, it was not strange that only Martin could find a suitable heart for Darlene.

Moreover, Martin had made other preparations. If he couldn’t find a suitable heart, he could try to create an artificial heart for Darlene. He believed his family could do this.

Thinking back to the past, Martin still had lingering fears. Fortunately, he successfully saved Nathen and deceived everyone.

Martin raised his hand and knocked on the door. “Dr. Smith, do you have a moment?”
