Almost as if possessed by some unseen force, Paul found himself rolling up his trouser leg, wanting to test whether this medicine really had the miraculous effect Taylor claimed.

Taylor leaned in and carefully applied the medicinal plaster to Paul’s knee. Then, almost playfully, he blew a soft breath over the spot.

That simple gesture unexpectedly stirred a memory deep within Paul’s heart. A memory of Yunice..

She used to do the very same thing. Whenever he was hurt as a child, she’d blow on the wound like comforting a child. Gentle and soothing.

Lately, Paul did not know what had gotten into him. For some reason, Yunice kept creeping into his thoughts without warning. Yet, despite going out of his way to ‘accidentally run into her at the hospital, every attempt ended in disappointment.

After seeing Taylor off, Paul headed once more to Silverburgh Hospital.

Today happened to be the day Owen was being discharged. Lily and Elsie were busy packing up his things.

As Lily folded Owen’s clothes, a sudden wave of dizziness struck her. She swayed violently, almost collapsing onto the bed.

Both children were startled out of their wits.

“Mom! Are you okay?” Owen cried out anxiously.

Giana interjected with a sigh, “Mr. Owen, ever since you were injured and fell unconscious, and after Ms. Elsie’s broken engagement, Madam Lily has not eaten properly or slept a single night in peace. With Ms. Saunders refusing to come back and take care of her, Madam Lily’s been forcing herself to hold on until her body finally gave out.”

Elsie quickly tried to smooth things over, “Yunice is probably busy preparing for the wedding… maybe she just hasn’t had

time.”

Owen sneered, “Elsie, you don’t need to make excuses for her. When you were preparing for your wedding, you didn’t neglect family like this. She’s always been heartless.”

“Owen.” Leaning on his crutch, Paul waved him over.

Once they were alone in a corner, Paul pulled out the medicinal plaster and held it up for Owen to smell. Owen took a but did not find anything unusual.

“You don’t think this smells like something Yunice would make?” Paul asked quietly.

Startled, Owen frowned. “Where did you get this?”

Paul answered. “A little traditional medicine shop in the north of the city.”

Owen tossed the plaster back at him. “All medicinal plasters sinell pretty similar. I think you’ve completely lost it to be associating this with Yunice.” But as he spoke, emotion crept into his voice. Hands on his hips, Owen lowered his voice, “T don’t want Yunice to marry Wyatt

Paul’s brow furrowed. “Do you.

a way to stop it?”

Instead of refuting him, Paul’s reaction was to seriously consider the idea. This was something that darkened Owen’s gaze.

“might have a way, Owen said under his breath.

Paul gave him a complicated look, the faintest trace of anticipation flickering in his eyes.

Owen laid out his plan, “How about this.. I’ll trick Yunice into going to your place. Then we’ll have the reporters catch you two together. Even if Jackson wants to suppress Wyatt, for the sake of the Powell family’s reputation, there’s no way he’d still

Paul scrutinized Owen’s expression carefully. So what you’re saying is you want me to sleep with Yunice and let the whole of Silverburgh believe she cheated?”

Owen nodded solemnly. “Yunice is my sister. She’s placing her trust in the wrong man. I’m doing this for her own good. I wouldn’t feel safe lening just anyone create a scandal with her, but you, Paul, you’re my best brother. The one I trust the most. If I entrust Yunny to you. Ill have no worries”

Amazingly, Paul actually began to consider the proposal seriously.

Seeing this. Owen’s expression darkened. He raised his fist, ready to punch him. “You’re really fantasizing about it now, aren’t

you

Realizing Owen had been baiting him all along. Paul deftly dodged the incoming punch, replying coldly, “Don’t project your filthy thoughts onto me. I was merely thinking the plan was feasible. It’s just about being caught on camera. Who would know if anything actually happened?”

Finishing his words, Paul cast Owen a sidelong glance, as if mocking him for his failed test.

Owen stood there, his palm stinging faintly, memories of Wyatt protecting Yunice flashing through his mind, along with his suffocating sense of helplessness.
