Chapter 200 Owe Him
Josefinaâs face was pale. At this point, she had no other choice but to beg Braylen.
She thought, no matter what, I couldnât sit by and watch Dayton die. A year ago, it was Dayton who
risked his life to donate half of his kidney to my dad.
Although Dad did not make it, Dayton lost half of his kidney, and he has become much weaker.
Otherwise, he probably wouldnât have ended up hanging by a thread because of a minor car accident a
few days ago.
Her voice trembled violently. âI know you think Iâm cheap and that I donât deserve it. Please, lend me
some money for the last time for the sake of what we had.
âI only need 17 thousand dollars. I swear that Iâll pay you back soon, and I wonât ask you again
shamelessly. Will you trust me one more time?â
Braylen did not say a word. He just looked at her coldly, as if he was watching a clown performance,
extremely intrigued.
Josefina was so anxious that her eyes were red. âDayton is still lying in the hospitalâs hallway, and
doctors wonât let him into the emergency room. If this continues, he will die. Braylen, there are some
things I canât tell you, but I do owe him. I canât watch him die.â
Braylen chuckled and said, âWhat we had? Ms. Hogan, arenât you disgusted by your words? How dare
you mention the past?
âYou owe him? Alright then. Come up with something touching enough. Perhaps Iâll be delighted or
moved. Then Iâll lend you the money.â
He tapped his fingers on the edge of the sofa and pondered for a moment. âLet me help. What kind of
excuse is touching enough? Why donât you say that you had a terminal illness a year ago, and Dayton
saved you? What do you think?â
Josefina reached out, wanting to beg him again. Braylen, who was on the sofa,
suddenly got up and avoided her hands in disgust. His eyes were cold.
âMs. Hogan, if you want money, you can have it. You strike me as a cheap slut. Well, as I said, my
bodyguard is not picky.
âSpeaking of which, I have never treated my men unfairly, and Iâm sure he can afford 17 thousand
dollars. Why donât you go ahead and please him? The check for 17 thousand dollars is in the
nightstandâs drawer. You can take it after youâre done.â
As soon as Braylen walked out, a tall and strong bodyguard in black walked in
and directly approached Josefina.
Josefina tightened her grip on the corner of her clothes and immediately got
up to leave. âIf you donât want to lend me money, Iâll think of something else.
Sorry about wasting your time.â
Braylen stood at the door and turned to look at her. âMs. Hogan, you havenât changed at all. Do you think
you can just come and go as you please?â
He ordered the bodyguard who came in, âCody, if you want her, you can keep
her.â
When he finished speaking, he walked out of the door and closed the bedroom
door behind him.
Josefina watched as Cody Wat approached. She frantically tried to grab the fruit knife in her bag. Just as
she reached the bag, Cody suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her onto the bed.
âMs. Hogan, sorry to offend you. 17 thousand dollars in exchange for one night with you? Well, given
what kind of woman you are now, I guess itâs a
great deal for you.â
Josefina gritted her teeth and tried her best to push Cody away. Her wrists were pressed against the bed,
and then he wrapped a rope around her hands
and tied it in a knot.
Her legs, which she had just lifted, were pressed down and tied.
He didnât like the resisting look on her face, so he grabbed her by the shoulders, turned her around, and
threw her down on the bed.
Josefina could not see Codyâs face anymore. She could only sense that he opened the bedside table to
take something out. Then he complained impatiently, âWhy isnât that thing here? Iâll go get one.â
When he got up from the bed, his voice was full of ridicule as he said, âMs. Hogan, I wouldnât want a
woman like you to come after me with pregnancy after we are done.â
The door opened, and Cody left. He then quickly came back and pressed down on her from behind.
Josefina smelled the cheap, foul perfume she had smelled earlier. She knew that it was still Cody.
Braylen would never use such a kind of perfume.
Josefinaâs struggling body stiffened as Cody fucked her from behind.
Her heart turned completely cold. Her fingers clung to the quilt beneath her, and her eyes were dull.
She thought, over the past year, I have often wondered how I ever made it to
this day.
For my dadâs kidney, I agreed to the Bulwer familyâs request and married Dayton to take care of him for
the rest of his life after the kidney transplant.
The law only allows kidneys to be donated to relatives and spouses, so his donation to my dad is illegal.
In other words, such a matter cannot be made
public.
Therefore, I canât tell anyone. If I did, both Dayton and I would have to take legal responsibility. Even the
doctor who performed the surgery on my dad would be implicated.
Yet less than a month after I abandoned Braylen and married Dayton, my dad
died.
From then on, I often thought of killing myself. My dad was dead anyway, and I simply didnât care about
my promise to the Bulwer family.
However, I still made it this far. Perhaps I still have a glimmer of hope. Maybe Braylen willâ¦
He will what?
She couldnât tell. Lying on the bed, she showed a selfâdeprecating smile, her tears sinking silently into
the pillow.
It was already late in the night when the man behind her finished his business. She heard a door open,
and she figured that it was probably the bathroom
door.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. A moment later, Cody came out of the bathroom.
He walked to the bedside and knocked on the
bedside table beside her.
âMs. Hogan, are you planning to stay here for the night? This is Mr. Swaleâs room. Iâm afraid he wonât
agree.â
He untied Josefinaâs hands and feet and watched as she rose, her face ghastly pale. Her clothes were in
disarray, and marks were all over her neck and body. She looked horrible.
Josefina looked at Cody, her eyes lifeless, as if she were dead. Her line of sight was like a black hole,
sucking him in. There was nothing but deep hatred in her
eyes.
Cody avoided her gaze and coughed. Then he said, âMs. Hogan, if you feel that you suffer a loss being
fucked by me, you may go to the police.
âI think you know very well that the Swale family has the best law firm in the country. They also have
countless connections in both the police department
and the court. Ms. Hogan, if you are stubborn enough to insist on giving it a go, go ahead.
âHowever, we should make one thing clear. If you want to go to the police, you
canât take the check away. After all, once you take the money, what has happened will be a different
thing. Right?â
Josefina sat at the head of the bed, silent and motionless.
Someone called her. It was Nataly Doyle, her motherâinâlaw.
She pressed the answer button and heard Natalyâs sobbing voice, cursing, âCome back if you get the
money. Daytonâs breath stopped for a second earlier. If it hadnât been for the help of a kind doctor who
gave him CPR, he
would have died now.
âIf you donât come back, they wonât operate on him. Then he will die for sure.â
After a long time, Josefina said, âI seeâ. Then she hung up the phone.
As before, she sat still at the head of the bed, looking out of the dark French window. After a long time,
she opened the nightstand and took the check out.
Then she got up, put on her shoes and her coat, and grabbed her bag.
The sweater inside was a crumpled mess. She reached out and tugged at it, but
the folds would not smooth out whatsoever.
The rubber band on her hair was nowhere to be seen. She reached out and
gathered her hair casually, tucked it behind her ears, and walked out of the
bedroom.
When she opened the bedroom door, Braylen was standing outside, smoking.
Through the smoke, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her, looking
disdainful.
Josefina walked past him and heard him sneer, âMs. Hogan, hold on to the
money and donât show up here ever again. I only have one bodyguard who isnât
picky, and heâs not interested in you anymore.â
It seemed that Josefina didnât hear anything as she walked down the stairs. When she went downstairs,
she felt that her vision was a bit dark, and her body shook.
For some reason, Braylen immediately reached out and grabbed her subconsciously, though they were
so far away from each other, and he couldnât reach her at all.
His subconscious action made him gloomier.
He pulled down his sleeve and covered the tooth mark on his wrist.
