Chapter 193 Lines, Lies, and Unwanted Ties
Finished
Yunice had clearly already prescribed detox medication for Wyatt under Dr. Rylie’s identity–so why hadn’t he taken it?
Did he not trust her, or did he not want to get better?
Before she could ponder further, the nurse called their names. It was their turn for the exam..
Wyatt picked up his cane, and Yunice tucked the documents away and stood.
As they passed the greasy–haired man from earlier, Yunice deliberately leaned toward Wyatt and. said, “Later, crush some gardenia seeds and rub them on your face. My cousin swears by it- every guy in the family who used it had a son. Works every time!”
Wyatt cast her a glance, then noticed the man he’d kicked earlier seemed to be eavesdropping.
Once inside the examination room, Wyatt asked without even looking at her, “What’s gardenia seed?”
Yunice tried not to laugh. “A prank ingredient.”
Wyatt gave her a sideways glance–playing games again, huh?
Yunice explained, “That stuff stains. Turns your skin purple–black like you’ve been beaten–and the color won’t fade for months.”
She added casually, “With how rotten he is, he deserves a little lesson.”
Wyatt took a couple of seconds to process that, then gave a soft, cynical snort. “You’re devious.”
After their blood was drawn, the nurse pressed cotton balls on both of them. Yunice obediently held hers in place, then looked up and saw Wyatt toss his aside, tugging down his sleeve even though the wound was still bleeding.
She frowned. “Hold it a little longer.”
“No need. It’s annoying.” He had to hold a cane–he didn’t feel like bothering with the rest. The bleeding would stop on its own anyway.
“Then at least wait a bit before we leave. You already waited out there earlier–what’s the rush now?” Yunice rolled up his sleeve again.
Sure enough, male circulation was wild. Her own blood had barely come out, but Wyatt’s had already trickled along his arm in a bright red trail.
She quickly pressed the cotton back down. “Look–it’s getting everywhere…”
Wyatt looked down at the top of her head, his expression unreadable. Since when did she start giving him orders?

Finished
Taylor, holding her own paperwork, first noticed Paul’s lingering gaze. Then she turned to see Wyatt and Yunice sitting side by side. “Well, what a coincidence.”
Paul quickly looked away from Yunice. A moment ago he’d been in a fine mood–now, something dark stirred behind his eyes.
Taylor went off to get her blood drawn, and Paul followed soon after.
She looked subconsciously at Taylor’s back. High–born, poised, beautiful–just standing next to someone like that gave them status. Compared to her, Yunice felt like a downgrade.
As if reading her mind, Wyatt said with a snort, “If you’re standing next to me, no one dares look down on you.
Paul, now done with his blood draw and still holding the cotton to his arm, turned to look back- only to find Yunice’s seat empty.
Taylor tossed her cotton in the trash and smirked. “Don’t bother. She’s long gone. Didn’t even glance at you.”
Paul scoffed, “Who cares?”
“Shut up. Just hearing her speak made his skin crawl.
Yunice looked up and locked eyes with Paul.
