The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Stranger at the Door

There was no way Lily was going to stay with Yunice. The second Owen stepped out, she followed right behind him.

Just like that, Yunice was left alone in the dressing room.

She sat quietly, idly spinning a makeup brush between her fingers. She didn’t feel hurt or ignored anymore. That kind of disappointment had worn itself out long ago..

Then, behind her, something crashed to the floor.

Yunice turned around and saw a little boy with a blunt bob haircut. He was dressed in a suit and stood stiffly, one hand hidden behind his back like he was clutching something.

She recognized him instantly–he was the same boy from the construction site, the one who’d been crying on his knees while his mother begged for help.

His dad was now behind bars, facing heavy fines. The man who used to hold the family together was gone. For a family like theirs, it was a breaking point–and life ahead would only get harder. But did that mean they deserved her sympathy?

Yunice stayed seated and didn’t move. She calmly asked, “Hey, kid. How old are you?”

The boy answered softly, “Three.”

He stopped a couple of feet away, too nervous to come closer.

Seeing Yunice wasn’t paying him much attention, he tried again, more desperate this time. “Miss, I got separated from my mommy. Can you help me find her?”

Yunice kept her eyes on the mirror, still spinning the brush in her hand. She didn’t respond.

The boy’s voice trembled, his eyes starting to well up. “Please, miss… If my mom can’t find me, she’s going to be really worried…”

Yunice finally turned to him, her voice steady, almost gentle. “Sorry, but if I left with

you and my family couldn’t find me, they’d be worried too. How about this–I’ll call the front desk, and they can help you find your mom.”

“Miss…” The boy’s expression shifted–his eyes flashed with something sharp, almost guarded. “Don’t call the front desk. I don’t need to look for her anymore…”

His tone turned panicked. He took a step toward her, still hiding one hand behind his back.

Meanwhile, Lily and Owen had searched the entire ballroom, and there was still no sign of Elsie.

Calls went straight to voicemail. No one could reach her

Frustrated and panicking, they suddenly got a call from hotel management. One of the guests had reported a missing child, and since the Saunders family was hosting the event, the hotel asked for help.
