Chapter 103 Repaying Debts.
It seemed that the person lying in that hospital bed truly mattered.
Yunice lowered the binoculars and said calmly. “We’ve lost them. Let’s head back.”
It was true. Gill had already slowed the car, having long since lost sight of their target.
On the drive back, Gill wore a troubled expression.

Yunice comforted her lightly. “Don’t worry. My marriage to Wyatt is just for show. Whatever he does outside has nothing to do with me.”
But Gill only sighed again and again without speaking.
After all, with Wyatt’s style, even if he had other women, what could Yunice do? She would have to swallow the bitterness herself.
But Yunice did not care in the slightest. In fact, she wished he would find another woman. That way, she would not have to deal with him herself.
Back at the hospital, Yunice buried herself in her studies.
Now that she had her ID card, all she wanted was to take the national college entrance exam this year, get into university, and further her education.
Meanwhile, in the very same hospital, Owen had slept a full day before finally waking up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the thick bandages wrapped around his hands. His palms were numb with pain, the swelling making even the slightest movement impossible. He let his hands fall back down and turned his gaze to the figure asleep beside his bed.
Yenny?
For a second, Owen’s vision blurred. He thought he saw Yunice lift her head, smiling brightly at him.
“Owen, you’re awake?”
But that gentle, imagined voice was quickly replaced by reality. The face in front of him gradually sharpened into Elsie’s tearful one.
She sat up, sobbing, “Owen, you’ve been unconscious for so long. I was so worried about you!”
“So… it’s Elsie…” Owen’s voice was tinged with disappointment. His eyes swept around the room, searching for any sign of
Yunice.
I had been injured and unconscious; surely she would not have ignored me completely, right?
Elsie clutched his hand, crying pitifully, “Owen, how could Yunice be so heartless to you? The doctor said your injuries are very serious. You must stay in bed or risk permanent damage.
Owen slowly realized that Yunice really had not come to see him. His heart sank. “She resents me… she hates that I locked her up in that asylum.”
Covering his chest with his good hand, he choked back his emotions. “I never knew she suffered so much. If I had known. I would have brought her home long ago… Elsie, do you think I’ve done wrong?”
Elsie clenched her fists tightly.

“Look at her now, running around like nothing happened. But you? You’ve been unconscious for an entire day!” She continued fanning the flames.
Hearing this, Owen opened his eyes and looked at Elsie with gratitude. Anxiously, he asked, “So… does this mean I’ve repaid my debt to Yunny?”
Elsie smiled gently. “Owen, what are you saying? There’s no debt between siblings. If I were Yunice, I would never blame you. You’re the best brother in the world.”

Owen beamed, reaching out to pat Elsie’s head. “Elsie is the sweetest.”
But as he moved, a sharp hiss escaped his lips. The pain in his hand flared up from the strain.
Elsie immediately held his hand carefully, her face full of worry. “Owen, I forgot to tell you.. Your tendons were injured. The doctor said you might never be able to hold a scalpel again.”
