hapter 221 She Was Not a Burden
Yunice threw herself over Wyatt the moment danger struck.
A gunshot rang out, the red laser beam brushing past them by inches!
The sniper in the distance had used an optical scope. There wasn’t even a laser warning.

Behind a white curtain, a man locked his sights on Wyatt and muttered coldly, “Say goodbye to this world.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a girl’s face suddenly filled the scope. The man was taken aback.
Yunice stood beside Wyatt, eyes burning as she tried to find the source of the shot through the heavy rain. She didn’t know which direction the bullet would come from, or that she had already stepped into the enemy’s line of fire.
Bang!
Another bullet sliced through the downpour, trailing compressed air in its wake!
Both Yunice and Wyatt instinctively shoved each other backward. After a moment of terror, they realized neither of them had been hit.
At the same time, the red laser dot vanished.
The Bluetooth earpiece on the ground buzzed violently. Inside, Jensen’s furious voice shouted, “Kingsley! You shot one of ours!”
High above, behind the curtain, the man watched as the opposing sniper across the street collapsed. Only then did he re–aim his smoking barrel toward the road.
His finger didn’t touch the trigger. He only watched through the scope; observing the scene
below.
Jordan drove back and pulled the car in front of Wyatt and Yunice. The two of them leaned on each other as they climbed inside.
Once he saw Wyatt’s car leave safely, the man behind the curtain finally lowered his gu

Kingsley Weston slung his McMillan sniper rifle over his shoulder, stepped on a cigarette butt, and walked out.
Outside, a car screeched to a halt in front of him.
“Kingsley, how’d you miss?”
Kingsley thought of Yunice barging into his scope. He said flatly, “If my little student gets hurt, who’s gonna bring me cigarettes)

With that, Kingsley fell silent, his face darkening.

In Wyatt’s car, Yunice was covered in scrapes. Her dress was stained with red and pink patches.
Wyatt didn’t dare touch her. Now that the danger had passed, his anger kicked in. “I told you to
wait on Riverston Street!”
Jordan tried to ease the tension. “Wyatt, Ms. Saunders was just worried about you…”
Wyatt snapped, “She caused more trouble!”
Owen froze. He looked up to see Wyatt’s cold, sharp eyes. He hesitated for a second, then said, “Mr. Cooper, ladies first. You don’t look that badly hurt. Please let my sister have this one.”
Owen looked down at Elsie in his arms, then chased after them. “Mr. Cooper, Elsie is Yunice’s sister. Can’t you let them share the room? If Yunice were awake, she’d agree!”
Wyatt said. “Get lost.”

Jordan shoved Owen and Elsie out together.
Finished
Owen’s face turned dark. He glanced back at Yunice’s hospital room one last time. Realizing he truly couldn’t get in, he finally gave up and went to wait in the ER line.
Yunice was lucky. She only had a mild concussion and multiple soft tissue injuries.
After her wounds were treated, she was wheeled into a regular room to rest.
Wyatt wanted to go with her, but Jordan stopped him. “Wyatt, your injury is worse.”
A jagged wound marked Wyatt’s shoulder. His black shirt had hidden the blood, but not the pain.
Annoyed. Wyatt grabbed a gauze soaked in disinfectant and pressed it to the wound. “Go guard Yunice’s room.
Jordan winced just looking at it. “Gordon’s already there. Joe’s on his way too.”
Only then did Wyatt let the doctors stitch him up.
Jordan added from the side. “Wyatt, Ms. Saunders wasn’t a burden. Really.”
