The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366 A Misguided Loyalty

Owen looked at Carl, guilt written all over his face, as if waiting for a sentence to be handed down.

+8 Pearls

He knew he had lost today and that things would not end well for him, but he still said, “It was all me. It had nothing to do with Elsie. Carl, if you want to punish someone, punish me.”

Yunice kept her head down, her eyes focused on her nose, her nose on her heart. At a time like this, Owen was still thinking about protecting Elsie. Maybe he really did care for her, cared enough to defend her more fiercely than anyone else in the Saunders family.

Oscar snorted. “What an idiot.”

Carl’s expression darkened. He said nothing for a long time. Then, after a heavy pause, he spoke lightly, “Leave.”

His words left everyone stunned.

He was just letting them go?

Oscar leaned over and glanced at Yunice. They couldn’t just let it go like this! But neither Yunice nor Wyatt said a word.

Oscar was furious but also knew the situation had been decided. No matter what he said now, it would be useless.

Owen, meanwhile, was so shocked that he let out a sigh of relief. Gratitude filled his eyes as he bowed to Carl and said, “Thank you, Carl.”

He quickly dragged a dazed Elsie out of the hospital, as if afraid Carl would change his mind.

Owen thought Carl must still have some affection left for old times‘ sake. After all, Owen was the son of his sworn brother. Even if Carl was backing Yunice now, he wouldn’t go too far.

Once they were out of sight, Owen finally calmed down.

He stopped walking.

Elsie, her face swollen like a pig’s head, looked at him in fear.

Owen stared at her for a long, long time. “Why did you press on Yunice’s wound?”

Elsie’s eyebrows twisted up, and she looked like she was about to cry.

A crisp slap landed on the other side of her face.

Owen didn’t use much force; it was meant to shock her more than hurt her.

It was the first time he had ever hit Elsie

anymore.
