“Elsie…” Paul’s voice was already choked with emotion.

Elsie’s tears streamed down. “I know you still love Yunice; she loves you too. If I die, you two can finally be together”

Paul’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared, “What kind of nonsense is that? Even if she still loves me, I could never love a woman that cruel. I won’t marry anyone–if I marry in this lifetime, it’ll only be you!”

Elsie clung to Paul even tighter, shielding him from the falling coins.

Gill stood there dumbfounded.

Yunice gave a disbelieving laugh and rolled her eyes so hard it could’ve turned back the clock. That acting–how many tricks from the love story playbook has she mastered to get this good? No wonder Paul falls for her every single time.

Wyatt, however, only caught the angle of Yunice turning her head away.

From his vantage point, he misread her giant eye roll and mocking smile as a bitter, self–deprecating one.

He turned his gaze away, lips pressed tight; a sharper edge crept into his stare as he looked at Paul.

Finally, he raised a hand and gave a signal

The hovering backhoe slowly tilted its bucket upright; the long arm retracted.

The rain of pain came to a sudden halt. When Paul realized the downpour had stopped, he shouted up at Wyatt, “What, that’s it? Backing down already? Come on, keep going if you’ve got the guts!”

Wyatt answered only with a look that screamed not the sharpest tool in the shed.

“Elsie!” Owen and Lily rushed toward her, but the ground was littered with both cash and coins–there was nowhere safe to

step.

They tripped and stumbled their way to Elsie’s side, crawling the last few feet..

“Owen… Mom…” Elsie murmured weakly, collapsing into Owen’s arms.

Owen’s eyes turned bloodshot as he cried out in anguish, “Elsie!”

Paul’s mouth hung open; his lips and pupils trembled as if Elsie had just laid down her life for a greater cause.

“Get her to the hospital! We need to get her to a hospital right now!” Owen shouted in a panic, scooping Elsie up in his arms.

“What hospital? Aren’t you and I both doctors?” Yunice had walked over at some point and now stood squarely in his path.

Lily, sobbing uncontrollably, lunged at Yunice to shove her out of the way–but Gill casually caught her wrist.

“Yunny, your sister’s unconscious. You won’t even let us take her to the hospital?” Lily cried.

Yunice calmly pulled a short, one–inch–long needle from her meridian pouch. “Didn’t I already say? I’m the one who practices medicine. If Mr. Owen can’t treat her, I can.”

Gill threw in a jab. And this guy calls himself a director? The second anything goes wrong, he’s panicking and rushing to send. her off to the hospital. No wonder your dad’s hospital went downhill with you in charge.”

Owen choked on the insult, then snapped, “Who says I can’t treat her? Of course, I can!”

He immediately pressed his fingers to Elsie’s philtrum. When she didn’t wake, he applied more pressure.

Elsie had been faking it all along. Things weren’t looking good for them; by passing out, she gave everyone a reason to back

off.

So even when his fingers dug in deep enough to leave marks, she still refused to stir.

Owen glared at Yunice. “See for yourself–she’s really unconscious!”

Yunice strolled up, calm as ever, and pinched Elsie’s middle finger. “If she won’t wake up, it only means your skills are

useless.”

The moment she said it, Elsie let out a shriek and jolted upright from Owen’s arms.

Owen flinched in shock, then noticed a long needle sticking out of Elsie’s middle finger.
