The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 684

Chapter 684 Old Grudges

Then…” Yunice started to speak.

Wyatt cut her off. “It’s true that I want a child. But if you don’t, I can’t force you to change your mind. You’re a doctor–if you got pregnant and didn’t want it, there’d be no way to keep it, right?”

In the end, the only one hurt would be her body, and he’d get nothing.

Yunice’s gaze darkened as she stared at him. “You took precautions?”

Wyatt nodded. “Yeah. I made sure nothing could go wrong.”

Even with protection, nothing was guaranteed–unless…

Yunice felt a jolt in her chest. For someone who wanted a child so badly, he had actually gone to such lengths.

Just then, Wyatt changed the subject. “I just got a call. It’s about the Saunders family.”

Yunice snapped out of her thoughts.

“Yesterday, an ambulance went in and out of the Saunders estate. They took Lily away. Owen followed the vehicle. Peggy’s missing.”

Yunice threw back the covers and got out of bed. “Owen’s made his move!”

Yesterday’s conflict had done its job.

Wyatt handed her a pair of slippers. “No rush. The surgery’s already over. My people have been watching. Nothing will go wrong.”

Yunice’s heart pounded hard in her chest.

She couldn’t tell if it was excitement or pressure–probably both, tangled together.

Once outside, Wyatt drove her to a private hospital.

“Boss. Ma’am.” A man came toward them and reported, “Lily’s still unconscious in the intensive care unit. Owen just woke up.”

“Where’s Peggy?” Yunice asked.

“Owen dragged her into the basement. She’s probably with Timothy.”

Yunice quickened her pace toward the ICU. “Owen must have already planned an escape. Once he’s able to get out of bed, he’ll leave first. Keeping Peggy locked in the basement means he’s counting on no one discovering his crimes in the short term.”

“What are you doing?!” Yunice/froze in the doorway, spotting someone injecting something into Lily’s IV through the window.

She tried the doorknob, but it was locked from the inside.

Wyatt pulled her behind him, bent his leg, and kicked the door open in one blow.

The man inside had just finished with the syringe. He turned, startled to see them burst in. “Who are you? This is a hospital room, you can’t just get out-”

Before he could finish, Wyatt’s men had him pinned to the ground, his arm twisted behind his back.

Yunice rushed forward and pulled the IV out of Lily’s hand.

The man in the white coat frowned. The drug he’d injected hadn’t even had time to reach her bloodstream.
