A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 256

Chapter 256 I Don’t Want to Go Back

Braylen’s heart suddenly started to pound.

He was in a hurry to open his mouth, but he had no idea what to say.

Callie thought that Braylen was not interested in dealing with such a matter and added, “I admit that I was being stickybeaked. When I found her, I should have sent her to the hospital or the police.

“I didn’t know what was going on with my mind. I took her back to my place for a long time. Isn’t your family the most proficient in the legal profession? Your law office is also so powerful. I want to ask you to give me some advice. Let’s see how to deal with it.”

Braylen’s voice was hoarse, “How old is this woman?”

Callie replied, “I think that she is in her early twenties, probably twenty-two?”

Sean, who was beside Callie, immediately corrected her, “She is so slim, at most sixteen or seventeen.”

Callie glanced at Sean and said grumpily, “Dr. Cannon, are you blind? A girl in her sixteen or seventeen is not an adult at all, and how can she have such big breasts?”

Sean was so embarrassed that his face flushed. “You, you are too cheeky!”

Who would stare at the breasts of a dying patient?

Moreover, Callie was the only one who changed the clothes of the patient on the bed.

Braylen interrupted them anxiously, “Send me your position.”

“Mr. Swale, you misunderstood. I don’t want you to come to help me.” Callie felt a little strange and explained.

“I just thought you knew a lot about the law. You also have a lot of lawyers on your side. It is not suitable for this woman to stay with me all the time. I just want to ask you, can I let her go to the hospital by herself, or what to do?”

Braylen got up with a sullen face. When he hurried out of the door, his hand holding the phone trembled.

It was as if he had suddenly grabbed something very important. He was afraid that if he was not careful, that thing would disappear once again.

The moment Callie said that she had picked up a strange woman, Braylen had a very strong feeling that the woman might be Darlene.

He knew that Callie had a villa by the

Beaufort Sea. The villa was only a few miles away from the Beaufort Sea.

Callie was a carefree woman and liked some risky sports. It was normal for her to surf, dive and climb the rocks in the middle of the winter.

Moreover, Callie had just returned home a month ago, so it was not impossible for her to wander around the beach in the middle of the night to beat jetlag.

There was indeed a small possibility that Callie had just saved the dying Darlene by the seaside.

Braylen took the car keys and left the villa. He anxiously replied, “I will come over now. Perhaps I know that woman. Please help me keep a close eye on her.

“No matter what, even if you have to try to stall her first, don’t let her go by herself now.

I will be there in half an hour at most.”

Callie replied in confusion, “Oh, okay.”

Braylen got into the car and hung up the phone.

Callie was still sitting by the bed, looking at the woman who had fallen asleep again. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure it out. “I didn’t say what she looked like or what her name was. Why did Braylen feel that she was someone he knew?”

Callie carefully recalled what she had just said and she became startled. “Just because I said she had big breasts?”

Other than this, did she reveal any other special information?

Sean glared at Callie in disgust and reprimanded her once again, “Filthy!” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Then, Sean put Darlene on a drip with an expression that showed he didn’t want to stay with Callie for more than a second. He left the bedroom and went to the guest bedroom to rest.

Braylen said that he would arrive in half an hour. Originally, it was an hour’s drive, but he actually rushed over in half an hour.

A nanny from Callie’s villa came over to open the door. It was late at night and she did not see clearly that the person who came was

Braylen. She had wanted to say that she would go in first to tell Callie and then let him in.

In the end, Braylen directly pushed her aside and rushed straight in.

The nanny, who was originally very polite, immediately changed her face and shouted when she saw such a tall man rushing in. “A thief! A thief! Someone come!”

Sean was resting in the bedroom downstairs. At this time, he was still drinking coffee in the living room. When he heard this, he immediately got up and walked outside. He saw that the “thief” Braylen had already rushed to the door.

Sean saw that although Braylen did not look like a thief, he did not say a word and just rushed in. Sean thought that he might be

Callie’s enemy, who came to find trouble.

Sean could not stop Braylen no matter what he asked, and Braylen did not answer at all.

After Braylen came in, he still wanted to go upstairs.

Aside from Callie, there was also a sick woman lying on the bed upstairs.

Sean was anxious. This was probably the first time in so many years that he had beaten someone. He directly grabbed

Braylen’s shoulder from behind and started fighting Braylen.

Halfway through the fight, Sean was battered and bruised. Braylen was also injured. Callie heard the noise and came downstairs.

Looking at the scene downstairs, Callie was shocked, “What are you guys doing?”

Sean gasped and glared at Braylen with hostility, “Ask him! Did you owe any debt?

Who did you offend?”

Callie laughed and went downstairs, “Dr. Cannon, Mr. Swale, it’s a misunderstanding. We’re all on the same side.”

Sean found Braylen to be an eyesore, thinking Braylen was simply too rude. “Are you serious? Who is on his side?”

Braylen completely ignored Sean’s words, as if the fight just now had nothing to do with him.

He got rid of Sean and immediately walked upstairs. “Where is she? Upstairs?”

Callie nodded and followed Braylen. “Yes, she was in my bedroom. She woke up in the middle of the night and fell asleep for a while now. She should not be someone you know.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world…”

Before Callie could finish her words, she watched Braylen rush into the bedroom.

Braylen’s expression clearly changed, and Callie could even hear his rough breathing.

Callie stopped talking. This was the first time she had seen such a big coincidence.

Callie probed, “Is she your … girlfriend?”

Ever since Josefina left, Braylen had many affairs with different women. Could it be that this was one of them?

Braylen walked to the side of the bed and crouched down again. His body was trembling. He carefully grabbed Darlene’s wrist on the bed.

It had been more than forty days. It was more than a month. Braylen did not even dare to imagine the scene in front of him.

The face of the woman on the bed was seriously injured. The gauze had just been removed. Because of the severe coldness and injury, there were scars all over her face, and her face was somewhat blurred.

But Braylen clearly recognized that she was Darlene.

The hand that he grabbed trembled. The woman on the bed felt the touch and sound.

She frowned and slowly woke up.

Braylen’s heart seemed to jump out of his throat. His eyes were dry and red.

“I’m here. I will take you back.”

Darlene slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Braylen in silence. After a long time, she said with difficulty, “I won’t go back. Don’t tell anyone that I am still alive.”

Braylen’s face trembled. He shook his head and said, “No, our parents are dying of anxiety. I must take you back…”

“Please, I don’t want to go back.” Darlene on the bed interrupted him softly.
