Chapter 263 Scars Behind the Screen
Finished
It was also Taylor’s wedding day. But it was clear from her somber tone that things weren’t going well.
“I can come,” Yunice replied.
Taylor’s voice brightened.
“Send me your location. I’ll have Alan pick you up.”
Half an hour later, Yunice stepped out of the car, fully covered.
She knew the layout of the Powell mansion even better than Alan, but she deliberately took a wrong turn and circled around Paul’s residence, Maplecrest Manor.
Alan didn’t realize she’d gotten away until he turned around. He had to go back to find her.
Yunice stepped out from behind the mansion.
“This place is huge. I must have lost track for a second.”
This time Alan led the way carefully, looking back every few steps. He led them through a winding waterfront corridor before stopping in front of a secluded courtyard.
Yunice looked up. This is Jensen’s residence.
Moments later, Taylor emerged and motioned for Yunice to speak with her privately.
She said, “The patient I’m going to show you…please don’t ask too many questions.”
Yunice asked, “What are the symptoms?”
Taylor looked embarrassed.
“Loss of bladder and bowel control, constant shivering in bed, and mumbling nonsense.”
“Sounds like he’s been terrified,” Yunice said with a faint smile.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand.
“Acute stress reaction. Muscle tension and gastric distress.”
She wrote a prescription.
Taylor didn’t even look at it before handing it to Alan to fill.

Just then, the sound of a cane echoed through the hall. Jackson entered and casually took the prescription sheet.
As he read it, his face darkened.
“Children’s urine?”
Taylor cringed and subtly covered her nose. What kid could pee that much?
And how could anyone drink that…
Still, she had no doubts about Yunice’s abilities. The last thing I wanted on her first day as a Powell bride was to be labeled “the one who ruined her father–in–law.”
I’d been spoiled all my life. It was bad enough that my new husband ignored me. But now, right after marrying into the family, I had to deal with this father–in–law’s mess?
