For so many years, Darlene had always been dispensable to Avery.
She was always within his reach and would always be by his side, so Avery never felt how important she was.
Or rather, he had never thought about it.
After the year when he was paralyzed in a car accident and fainted, too many things changed when he woke up.
Vivian and Jax had left, and his father's mistress had married into the Gallard family. The management of the Gallard Group had undergone a great change.
Everything had changed. Only Darlene didn't.
Avery remembered that when he woke up from a year of coma, the first person he saw was her.
Just like before, when he opened his eyes, she was there without any change.
Even the clothes that she wore, her hairstyle, and the expression on her face were exactly the same as before he fainted from the car accident.
