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 wouldn’t leave the Swale’s home
without money.
Since tears didn’t work, she sat down on the ground and made a scene. “You have no conscience. The Swale family is
prosperous.
Your son made a mistake, but you refuse to shoulder the responsibility.
“My 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 couldn’t afford to raise the child.”
Braylen looked at Josefina with burning eyes and asked, “When did you know your pregnancy?”
Josefina’s face was pale, and she reached out anxiously to pull Nataly up from the ground. “No. I’m not. Mom, let’s go back.
Don’t make a fuss here. If you want money, I’ll give it to you. I’ll think of a way.”
Nataly flashed her hand away. “It sounds good, but where can you get money? With your current salary, it’s difficult to raise
yourself. I won’t count on you.”
Only when she finished speaking did she realize that it was a slip of the tongue. She added, “What I mean is that you don’t have
much money. Without its father, how could the baby be raised well?”
Braylen approached Josefina with a cold face. “Go to the hospital for a checkup.”
As soon as he walked over, Josefina immediately retreated in a panic. “No. It’s impossible.”

Nataly was worried that without the pregnancy test, it would be difficult to prove to the Swale family that Josefina was pregnant.
Hearing Braylen’s words, Nataly could not wait to rudely pull Josefina.
“Well, we’ll go to the hospital. How can we lie to the Swale family? Josefina, don’t be afraid of them. We get what we deserve.
We are not to blackmail them.”
She was in a hurry for the examination to get the money ASAP. Thus, she didn’t care a lot.
As Josefina struggled, Nataly pulled her fiercely to drag her directly into the car that
Adam had driven over.
Josefina’s 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. “Let me go. Let me go.”
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, “Let her go! Tim, pull Nataly away!”
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.
“You crazy woman, if anything happens to Josefina, the Bulwer family will be doomed!”

Nataly panicked for a moment. She didn’t do anything to Josefina just now. She did not understand why Josefina was bleeding.
She anxiously explained, “It’s not me. You can’t 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 her...”
Adam pulled her up in disgust and called the police. He interrupted, “Shut up.”
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 didn’t 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.
Gustave’s face darkened. “Rylie, who let you out? Didn’t I tell you to guard Darlene inside?”
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.
“Ah, dinner is ready. Ms. Garcia asked me to come out to ask everyone to have dinner.”
She was so guilty when she realized that she had been out for about twenty minutes.
Gustave’s 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 Swale’s 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.
“Mr. Walpole, where is Darlene?”
Gustave hurried into the underground garage. “I couldn’t find my car key. She probably drove out.”
