Chapter 37 You Should See the Outside World
Nicholas wondered what Avery had experienced in the past few days, but it seemed like her strong will
to survive had vanished. Her eyes no longer held a desire for life or a longing for death.
They were like a calm lake without a ripple.
"Is it because of him? Did he hurt your hand?"
Avery shook her head. "No."
"But it still has something to do with him, right? The genius Avery I know shouldn't be like this."
A hint of pity crossed Nicholas' calm face as he looked at the flying snowflakes outside the window. He
sighed. "Perhaps he truly loved you in that winter, but in this winter, he has chosen someone else. You
shouldn't dwell on the past."
In others' eyes, Avery seemed to have lost herself in love, but they didn't know that the grudges and
grievances between Avery and Jacob were far from over.
Avery knew deep down in her heart that Jacob no longer loved her. Even if he let go of the hatred and
stopped taking revenge on her, the death of Grace would haunt him and plunge him into misery for the
rest of his life.
Now that he had made his choice to marry Layla, Avery decided to use her remaining time to deal with
their entanglement. In that case, if Martin ever woke up, Jacob wouldn't trouble him anymore.
This decision was good for everyone.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
When Nicholas looked at Avery again, there was less fragility in her eyes. Instead, there was a rare
determination.
He sighed, "Since you've made up your mind, I can do nothing about it. Avery, you should know the
consequences of removing the PORT. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
It seemed that he liked to ask her this question all the time. Avery smiled and responded, "I won't."
She took off half of her clothes, revealing her arm and fair shoulders. The previous wound had healed
with tender new flesh.
It was just a minor surgery that Nicholas could handle with few procedures and not even the need for
anesthesia.
Although she was lucky that the PORT didn't come off, her arm had been hit by Ethan, which had
caused damage to her subcutaneous tissue and left large bruises.
Nicholas patiently treated her wound. When the sharp surgical knife cut into Avery's recently healed
wound, the pain spread from her limbs to her heart, suffocating her.
She tried her best not to make a sound, clenching her teeth, while Nicholas couldn't help but feel
distressed when he saw her try to put up with it.
As he continued working, he softly said, "If it hurts, just scream."
It was the same thing Avery's doctor had said last time, but Avery still clenched her teeth hard, sinking
her nails into the cold tabletop, trying her best to endure the pain.
Nicholas quickened his movements. Once he finished suturing the wound, Avery's hand had become
numb from the pain. She broke into a cold sweat, feeling weak as she slumped in the chair.
Nicholas brought her a glass of warm water and sat across from her, patiently whispering, "Avery, I've
been monitoring your father's condition with his attending physician. If we can find the world-renowned
neurosurgeon Leon to perform the craniotomy for him, there will be an 80% chance for your father to
wake up."
"I've looked into it. Leon disappeared in a car accident five years ago, and nobody is sure if he's still
alive."
Avery took a break after drinking the water and managed to recover slightly. Although her arm wound
still burned with pain, and even a gentle touch on the fabric would make her gasp, she stubbornly stood
up, ready to leave.
"Nicholas, thank you. Just leave me alone. Whether Jacob and I divorce or not, he won't let me get
close to any other man. I don't want to cause any trouble for you."
A hint of excitement appeared on Nicholas' refined face. Resting his elbow on his leg, he interlaced his
fingers and spoke in a deep voice. "Avery, I only care about your thoughts. Why do you have to confine
yourself in a prison? You should step out and see the outside world."
