A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 222 Her Heart Has Changed

Dakota's voice on the phone suddenly stopped, and she turned around to look at Leana in the back seat. "Ms.

Elicott, what did you just say?"

Nathen personally sent the email over.

Leana flipped through the email she had received. In the email, Nathen asked Leana to contact someone to pick up

Darlene. The contents on the back of the email were slowly revealed as Leana flipped through the phone screen.

Leana's hand began to tremble violently. The phone in her hand slipped to the ground. Her face quickly turned

deathly pale. Leana was like a puppet, completely frozen in place, not moving at all.

Dakota had a terrible premonition. She forced herself to be calm and comforted Leana, "Ms. Elicott, calm down

first. Don't let your imagination run wild.

"Let's go take a look at which sanatorium it is. No matter what happens, there are so many people around. It can

be solved."

Before Dakota ended the call, Braylen asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Avery picked up the phone that Leana dropped to the ground. The contents of the long email entered his eyes.

"Leana, don't look for me. I'm probably crazy. I want to save her. This email was edited a long time ago. When you

receive this email, everything will be over.

"Darlene doesn't know anything, so Leana, don't make things difficult for her. Let her live well ... I'm sorry for the

Elicott family. In my next life, I won't save anyone else. I will repay what I owe you and grandpa."

Avery stared at the email for a long time. A great sense of guilt surged through him. He felt so ashamed.

Only after a long time did Avery tell them the location of the sanatorium mentioned in the email.

Dakota did not read the email and could guess that something serious must have happened.

She responded to Braylen in a trembling voice, "Don't ask too much. Come to Detroit first. I'll send you the address

of the sanatorium. Come over immediately."

"Okay," Braylen answered.

Braylen had a fork in his hand. After hanging up the phone, he put down his fork and quickly picked up the coat

beside him. "I need to go. I have something to do."

Josefina immediately put down her fork and got up. She followed him out. "What's the rush? Aren't you going to

eat?"

Braylen had walked to the entrance. Hearing this, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her

mockingly.

Josefina immediately shifted her gaze away from Braylen. Thinking about their current relationship, she shouldn't

have said anything to keep him.

Braylen should be responsible for the matter of Cody touching Josefina that night and the results of her pregnancy

test. Or it could be said that she deserved it.

Now they could no longer sit opposite each other and have a calm meal.

Josefina's voice was a little light. "Goodbye."

Braylen did not like the way Josefina was. This was how he felt recently. He thought that her calm look was

disgusting.

At the dining table just now, Josefina even had the nerve to ask Braylen, "You don't like little kittens or puppies.

What if you and your wife have children?

Will you dislike them?"

How could Josefina have the nerve to mention "wife" and "children" in front of him?

Thinking of this, Braylen said lightly, "I might have to reply to what you just said. I don't like pets, and I hate children

very much. They always cry and are dirty. I won't like them.

"I have a lot of lovers. I can sleep with whomever I want. If someone gets pregnant, it won't be difficult to solve it.

Why do I have to have children? They will be in the way no matter what I do.

Braylen knew very well that Josefina liked children very much.

When they were together, she always used some childish mobile phone software and combined their photos to

form the photos of their future children.

Josefina would proudly show Braylen the photos of the children she had got and praise them.

"We have such excellent genes. Our children will be beautiful. How can we waste our genes? We should have many

children. Two, three..."

Those words were fresh in Braylen's memory, so he replied to her, "I hate children very much."

It was as if he hated Josefina and did not like her at all.

Josefina did not speak. Her eyes dimmed as she stood at the door and watched Braylen leave.

When Braylen opened the car door and was about to get in, Josefina felt unreconciled and asked, "That night. Was it

Cody..."

This was the third time Josefina had asked that bodyguard today.

Braylen opened the car door and looked at Josefina impatiently. "You don't have to beat around the bush. I

remember that you have his phone number. If you want to find him, contact him yourself. You can say whatever

you want to do."

After Braylen finished speaking, he got into the car and slammed the door shut. Then he stepped on the

accelerator, and the car drove off.

Josefina stood stiffly at the door, her fingers curled up, and her nails sank deep into her palm.

Her mind was occupied by Braylen's words. "I have a lot of lovers. If anyone gets pregnant, it won't be difficult to

solve it..."

"Don't you know whether it was Cody or not that night?"

Josefina knew that this would be the result.

No matter who the person that night was, it was impossible for her to give birth to this child.

When Braylen's car had gone far away, Josefina snapped back to reality. She picked up the pregnancy test sheet

and went out to take a taxi to the hospital.

After Braylen drove back, he rushed straight to Detroit.

Darlene felt that she had slept for too long.

She seemed to have heard something in her ears, such as the sound of others talking and the sound of

instruments. Meanwhile, dazzling light was on her face.

Darlene felt these dimly. She was not sure whether she was in a dream or reality.

Darlene remembered that she was sitting on the balcony outside the ward. She smiled at Nathen and said that she

would give him a painting on New Year's Day.

Then Darlene sat on the rattan chair and thought about how to draw the painting. She fell asleep somehow.

She seemed to have been moved to many places and stopped in many places. Now, Darlene was lying on the

hospital bed safely, and the surroundings were silent.

Her fingertips trembled. At that moment, something in her heart suddenly sank. It was like she was in a weightless

environment without any support.

Darlene suddenly opened her eyes. What entered her eyes was the snow-white ceiling and walls, as well as cold

instruments and pipes. The sky outside the window was pitch dark.

Darlene was in pain. The anesthetic was gone. An abrupt and sharp pain struck her.

Darlene felt that she had experienced something serious. So, she thought of the heart transplant she had been

waiting for before she fainted.

It was a strange feeling. Darlene could feel that the heart in her chest had changed. It was something that did not

belong to her.

Darlene found it difficult to speak, but she tried her best to shout out, "Dr. Elicott?"

There was no response. In this huge medical courtyard, it was as if there was no one else.

Darlene was in a panic. After a long while, she gathered some strength and shouted, "Is there anyone?"
