The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370 An Unwanted Distance

Owen sat on the ground in a daze for a long moment, as if he finally understood what Wyatt meant.

But soon he remembered Elsie’s injuries. He scrambled up and pressed the call button, trying to get help for her.

He had already lost one sister. He couldn’t lose another.

Wyatt asked Yunice, “Why did you run over there? Does it feel good to watch someone who will never love you no matter what?”

Yunice looked up at him and said, “Why don’t you lick your own lips and see if you get poisoned?”

He was too sharp–tongued, always rubbing salt in her wounds.

After suffering two harsh lessons in a row, neither Owen nor Elsie dared to bother Yunice again.

A week of peace passed, and Yúnice was discharged from the hospital.

She had missed a lot of coursework during that week, and she could already imagine the cold face Laurie would give her once she got back to the lab.

Yunice pressed the elevator button and rushed in. She moved so quickly that by the time she looked up, it was already too late.

As the elevator rose, Yunice found herself face–to–face with Paul, dressed in a sharp business suit.

Paul rarely wore formal clothes, and right now he did look a bit like a polished professional.

But Yunice knew it was all just surface–level polish.

After a few days apart, Paul had changed mostly, he had become gloomier.

Understandable, considering he had discovered that the woman he thought was his true love had cheated on him.

Neither of them spoke first. Afte

locking eyes briefly, they each looked away as if they were strangers.

Yunice’s floor was the top floor, so Paul got off first.

After he stepped out, Yunice moved to stand farther away from the door.

Paul stood outside the elevator without leaving. Just as the doors were about to close, he suddenly turned back and looked at

Yunice.

He asked, “If one day I have money and power, would you still be with me?”

Before Yunice could respond, the elevator doors shut.

She just wanted to roll her eyes. Even now, Paul still thought she left him because he wasn’t successful enough?

Yunice arrived at the lab, changed into her protective gear, and immediately plunged into her intense study schedule.

Pharmaceutical research required extreme focus. The slightest distraction could cause major problems. The only sounds in the lab were the faint clinks of tools being moved no one spoke..

Not until they wrapped up today’s project did Laurie leave the lab to change clothes.

She pulled off her protective cap and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Yunice followed behind her. “Ms. Laurie, why didn’t Mr. Wyatt come today?”
