What was even more terrifying was that this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. It was just that the previous incidents hadn’t caused enough of a stir to make headlines.

That night, Owen knocked on Yunice’s door again. This time, he came alone. His expression was exhausted, the excitement from a few hours ago completely gone. He had no other choice but to come to Yunice.

Sitting on a small stool in her room, Owen rested his head in his hands and sighed. “Yunice, the hospital Dad built is in

trouble.

When the hospital was making money, it was all thanks to Owen. Now that there was a problem, he suddenly brought up their father to play the emotional card.

Yunice scoffed internally. She already knew what he was going to say next.

She asked. “What happened?”

Owen let out a sigh. “The nurse forgot to clear the air out of the contrast agent before injecting it, which caused the patient’s heart to stop.

Yunice sneered. “That nurse was Elsie, wasn’t it?”

Owen’s brows furrowed tightly. He was unhappy with Yunice’s attitude, but he couldn’t refute her. If it had been anyone else, he could’ve just thrown them under the bus and handled it. But it was Elsie. Elsie didn’t have a medical license… Not even a proper intern permit. At best, she was just a hospital volunteer.

If this got out, it wouldn’t just affect the hospital. It would ruin Elsie’s future. So no matter what it took, he had to protect

her.

Seeing his silence, Yunice felt her heart twist with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, “Letting Elsie into the operating room was pure negligence!”

Owen snapped impatiently. “What’s the point of saying this now? Do you know how hard it is to train a doctor? Once Elsie finishes her studies, I’ll have a reliable right–hand person. Everyone is doing their part for the Saunders family–except you. You do nothing but complain about everything!”

Yunice’s disappointment deepened. “Did Dad train you the same way? By risking lives?”

She thought back to their childhood. All three siblings had been taught medical knowledge. Owen had always been bold- once, he had tried practicing on a patient just by following diagrams in a textbook,

Dad had caught him and beaten him severely, hanging him from a tree in the yard. Dad had told them that human life was sacred, and that they couldn’t treat patients who trusted them like playthings.

Even after that punishment, Owen still wanted to practice on someone, So Yunice had offered up her own arm, letting him use her as a test subject for free.

Owen had no sense of restraint. He had even pierced through her veins once, and instead of feeling bad, he had laughed, saying that if he couldn’t be a doctor, he could always become a tailor.

Every time he practiced on her, her arm would be bruised for days. Once, he even used the wrong medication, causing her to fall into a coma for seven days.

And yet, back then, she had actually thought it was worth it Yunice let out a self–mocking laugh. Owen must have remembered too, because his face turned red. He lowered his head, avoiding her gaze, his fingernails digging into his palins

Even if he felt guilty, he still had to say what he came for. “Yunny, take the blame for Elste.”

Then he looked up and said as if it was completely reasonable, “Oscar can’t afford to leave his research abroad. You don’t want him to come back and deal with this, do you?”

Owen studied Yunice’s reaction. He was sure she would throw a fit, like she always did whenever the family tried to push

responsibilities onto her. She would stream, cry, and resist, showing her complete lack of responsibility.

But surprisingly, Yunier didn’t react at all. She didn’t cause a scene. She didn’t even change her expression. It was as if she had known this would happen all along
