A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 200 Owe Him

Josefina’s face was pale. At this point, she had no other choice but to beg Braylen.

She thought, no matter what, I couldn’t 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 wouldn’t have ended up hanging by a thread because of a minor car accident a few days ago.

Her voice trembled violently. “I know you think I’m cheap and that I don’t deserve it. Please, lend me some money for the last time for the sake of what we had.

“I only need 17 thousand dollars. I swear that I’ll pay you back soon, and I won’t ask you again shamelessly. Will you trust me one more time?”

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. “Dayton is still lying in the hospital’s hallway, and doctors won’t let him into the emergency room. If this continues, he will die. Braylen, there are some things I can’t tell you, but I do owe him. I can’t watch him die.”

Braylen chuckled and said, “What we had? Ms. Hogan, aren’t you disgusted by your words? How dare you mention the past?

“You owe him? Alright then. Come up with something touching enough. Perhaps I’ll be delighted or moved. Then I’ll lend you the money.”

He tapped his fingers on the edge of the sofa and pondered for a moment. “Let me help. What kind of excuse is touching enough? Why don’t you say that you had a terminal illness a year ago, and Dayton saved you? What do you think?”

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.

“Ms. 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.

“Speaking of which, I have never treated my men unfairly, and I’m sure he can afford 17 thousand dollars. Why don’t you go ahead and please him? The check for 17 thousand dollars is in the nightstand’s drawer. You can take it after you’re done.”

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. “If you don’t want to lend me money, I’ll think of something else.

Sorry about wasting your time.”

Braylen stood at the door and turned to look at her. “Ms. Hogan, you haven’t changed at all. Do you think you can just come and go as you please?”

He ordered the bodyguard who came in, “Cody, if you want her, you can keep
