The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Finished

One of the cars had a license plate that matched the second assassination target for today—Elsie.

She was just a small fry. The man didn’t even think she was worth wasting a bullet on.

He aimed at Wyatt’s car and pulled the trigger.

The massive impact made Jordan lose control of the steering wheel; the vehicle suddenly veered to the side.

Owen, driving straight toward them, couldn’t swerve in time. His car scraped against Wyatt’s, spun out again, and slammed right into Yunice’s car.

In the pouring rain, Yunice had just rolled down her window to wave at Wyatt when she saw Owen’s car barreling toward her.

The distance between them closed fast. Owen’s eyes widened–he saw her too!

A deafening crash.

Yunice’s car was flipped on impact; Owen’s speed had been too high. After flipping her car, he crashed into several more before finally slamming into a guardrail.

As soon as his car stopped, Owen whipped around to check on Yunice.

He saw her car rolling violently after the hit, then hurling her out as it tumbled.

Yunice hit the ground hard, rolled twice, and finally landed on the asphalt, soaked by the pounding rain.

“Yunny!” Owen kicked open the crumpled car door and jumped out.

“Owen…” Just then, Elsie’s weak voice called out behind him. “Owen, don’t leave me here alone… I’m in so much pain…”

In the storm, Owen turned to look–Elsie was slumped in her seat, her injuries unclear, but she looked like she was barely hanging on.

Tears slid down from the corners of her eyes as she whispered, “Owen, you should go… They’re after us. If you leave me here, they won’t chase you anymore…”

”

Owen had been driving so fast because someone had been ramming into him from behind the

entire time.

That explained why he hadn’t avoided Yunice.

He looked frantically toward Yunice lying motionless in the distance, then back at Elsie, who couldn’t move at all.

Whoever was after them had to still be nearby. If he went to save Yunice now Elsje–left alone-

309 PM & S .

Chapter 220

In that instant, the same choice from three years ago returned like a curse.

Finished

The freezing rain did nothing to cool the fire tearing through Owen’s chest. He wanted to scream out in frustration. Why did life keep backing me into these heart–wrenching decisions?

When he’d abandoned Yunice in the fire three years ago, he’d had nightmares for months- visions of Yunice crying and asking him why he didn’t want her anymore.

He believed Elsie would understand. One time each–it’s fair, isn’t it?

Nothing. His mind went blank. In an instant, he started the engine and slammed the gas pedal down.
