The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 The Knife That Changed Everything

“Owen…” A look of jealousy flashed across Elsie’s face. She couldn’t let Owen go back to Yunice’s side.

She had to make him stay.

Just then, a few thugs swaggered toward Owen, twirling butterfly knives in their hands.

Owen immediately sensed they were after him and instinctively stepped back. But the men followed him lazily, saying, “Buddy, you know you gotta pay when you play. You didn’t really think you could do bad things and not pay the price, did you?”

Owen’s face turned cold. “Were you sent by Wyatt? Or Carl?”

hai No

–

Carl had already said he forgave him. He wouldn’t go back on his word. It had to be Wyatt.

The men didn’t answer. Instead, with the clear intent to end things quickly, one of them flipped the butterfly knife in his hand and lunged straight at Owen.

Caught off guard, Owen could only retreat again and again.

At that moment, a figure suddenly stepped in front of him. “Owen!”

Elsie’s voice caught in her thro Owen stood behind her, wide–eyed, as he watched the butterfly knife get pulled out of

Elsie’s abdomen.

The attacker frowned and cursed under his breath before turning and walking away.

Elsie’s body went limp and collapsed into Owen’s arms.

“Elsie… you, you idiot, why would you take the knife for me…” Owen pressed his hands against the bleeding wound.

Thinking

Elsie

by taking the knife for him, Owen would always stand by her side from now on.

Through her tears, she smiled and said, “Owen is the most important person in Elsie’s life. Owen gave Elsie a home. If you were gone, Elsie’s home would be gone too. So if someone had to die, I wanted it to be me.” As she spoke, her hand fell limp.

Owen was on th

verge of breaking down. He felt like a criminal.

Stiff and stumbling, he picked up Elsie and rushed her back into the hospital they had just left.

As he ran, he kept trying to comfort her. “Elsie, you’re gonna be okay. I’m not gonna let anything happen to you! Hang in there!”

At that moment, Yunice, who was walking with Wyatt after seeing Carl off, happened to witness the scene.

Owen was holding a bleeding Elsie, frantically searching for the emergency room.

He shouted at the top of his lungs in the hospital lobby, and when he spotted the emergency room behind Yunice, he charged straight for it, still carrying Elsie.

As he rushed past Yunice, he barked angrily, “Move!”

Wyatt quickly pulled Yunice to his side to avoid being knocked over.

What on earth had happened to Elsie?

Carl clearly had no intention of getting involved in Owen and Elsie’s mess anymore.

After sending Carl off, Wyatt stayed behind to walk Yunice back to her hospital room.

Oscar ran off to see what was going on with Owen.

Oscar asked, “Who stabbed her?”

Owen looked up, his eyes bloodshot. “Happy now? Have we paid off our debt to Yunice?”

Back in the room, with no outsiders around, Wyatt leaned against the table and looked at Yunice and Joe. “You two planned that?”
