A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 247
Chapter 247 The Lull Before the Storm (2)
Rylie could not wait and ran out. She thought that Darlene looked quite normal these days. Nothing
could happen to her even if she stayed in the kitchen for a while alone.
Moreover, all the knives and tools in the kitchen were locked in the closet. There was a lot of noise
outside.
Nataly saw that Josefina came over to stop her. The only evidence of pregnancy was taken away by
Josefina. She was anxious and worried that she could not get the money.
Those creditors were waiting for her to take the money back. Nataly made up her mind that she
wouldnât leave the Swaleâs home without money.
Since tears didnât work, she sat down on the ground and made a scene. âYou have no conscience. The
Swale family is prosperous.
Your son made a mistake, but you refuse to shoulder the responsibility.
âMy son is still lying in the hospital. You pick on Josefina and the Bulwer family. Today, my daughter-in-
law and I will die here since we couldnât afford to raise the child.â
Braylen looked at Josefina with burning eyes and asked, âWhen did you know your pregnancy?â
Josefinaâs face was pale, and she reached out anxiously to pull Nataly up from the ground. âNo. Iâm
not. Mom, letâs go back. Donât make a fuss here. If you want money, Iâll give it to you. Iâll think of a way.â
Nataly flashed her hand away. âIt sounds good, but where can you get money? With your current
salary, itâs difficult to raise yourself. I wonât count on you.â
Only when she finished speaking did she realize that it was a slip of the tongue. She added, âWhat I
mean is that you donât have much money. Without its father, how could the baby be raised well?â
Braylen approached Josefina with a cold face. âGo to the hospital for a checkup.â
As soon as he walked over, Josefina immediately retreated in a panic. âNo. Itâs impossible.â
Nataly was worried that without the pregnancy test, it would be difficult to prove to the Swale family that
Josefina was pregnant.
Hearing Braylenâs words, Nataly could not wait to rudely pull Josefina.
âWell, weâll go to the hospital. How can we lie to the Swale family? Josefina, donât be afraid of them.
We get what we deserve. We are not to blackmail them.â
She was in a hurry for the examination to get the money ASAP. Thus, she didnât care a lot.
As Josefina struggled, Nataly pulled her fiercely to drag her directly into the car that
Adam had driven over.
Josefinaâs face was a little pale and strange.
When Nataly dragged her fiercely, cold sweat began to pour down her forehead. Soon, she revealed a
painful expression.
Her voice became low and weak. âLet me go. Let me go.â
Nataly did not hear her voice at all. With great difficulty, she pulled Josefina to the car and reached out
to pull open the door of the back seat.
Josefina stumbled and subconsciously grabbed the car door. She powerlessly slid down against the car
door.
She pressed a hand on her lower abdomen and felt dizzy. The medicine she had taken at home was
now working.
Dakota sensed that something was wrong.
She immediately walked over and scolded
Nataly in a deep voice, âLet her go! Tim, pull Nataly away!â
Tim immediately stepped forward and pulled the crazy Nataly to the side. Josefina fell to the ground
with a bang. She rubbed against the white car door, and the door was stained with blood.
Braylen suddenly realized something. With a dark face, he picked up the unconscious Josefina. Before
getting into the car, he kicked Nataly, who had fallen to the ground hard.
âYou crazy woman, if anything happens to Josefina, the Bulwer family will be doomed!â
Nataly panicked for a moment. She didnât do anything to Josefina just now. She did not understand why
Josefina was bleeding.
She anxiously explained, âItâs not me. You canât blame me. She must have taken the medicine herself. I
went to her to get the money. She said that she would not keep this child. It must be herâ¦â
Adam pulled her up in disgust and called the police. He interrupted, âShut up.â
Braylen took Josefina into the car and coldly ordered Tim, who was in the front seat, to the hospital.
Josefina was bleeding massively. The doctor said that her physical condition didnât allow for an
abortion, so she bought the medicine herself and ate it.
Outside of the villa was a mess. The police rushed over. When Gustave went over to help, he looked
sideways and saw Rylie, who was enjoying the scene.
Gustaveâs face darkened. âRylie, who let you out? Didnât I tell you to guard Darlene inside?â
Rylie rarely saw such a scene happening between powerful families. How could she have Darlene in
her mind? Hearing this, she came back to her senses.
âAh, dinner is ready. Ms. Garcia asked me to come out to ask everyone to have dinner.â
She was so guilty when she realized that she had been out for about twenty minutes.
Gustaveâs face darkened, and at that moment, his heart sank to the bottom.
There was no time for him to question Rylie.
He turned around and hurried back to the kitchen. In the large kitchen, Darlene was nowhere to be
seen.
All the dishes were well prepared. The kitchen door leading to the backyard was wide open. Gustave
hurried to the backyard.
No one was there.
He was about to walk out through the door in the backyard when he recalled that when he came in, the
car key he had left on the coffee table was gone.
The car was parked in the underground garage of the Swaleâs home. One could go to the underground
garage through the backyard without passing by the front yard.
He trembled. Dakota and Lucian rushed over.
When they saw that Darlene was not in the kitchen, they panicked.
âMr. Walpole, where is Darlene?â
Gustave hurried into the underground garage. âI couldnât find my car key. She probably drove out.â
