hapter 326 The Seed of Ambition
Owen said nothing.
Just then, Elsie came home, humming with satisfaction. But the moment she saw Owen and Lily’s grim faces, she immediately wiped the smile from her own.
Owen turned to her. “You went to the municipal hospital today?”
Elsie nodded. “I want to get a permanent position as soon as possible. That way, I can help you out more.”
Owen was touched. He gave her a small nod. “You’re still the most thoughtful.”

Elsie finally smiled. “I’ll be on night shifts for a while, though. So I probably won’t be coming home for dinner. You and Mom don’t need to wait up.”
Owen grunted in acknowledgment, his mind clearly elsewhere.
He might’ve been thinking about Yunice.
Was the family really falling apart?
What would happen to the hospital?
Where was his path now?
Suddenly, he felt isolated–like there was no one left who would lend him a hand.
Lily wasn’t sitting idle either. The next morning, she got dressed up carefully and went to see Carl.
But before she could step inside, she spotted Yunice and Freya sitting in the office lounge.
She froze.
Freya was perched on the coffee table in front of Yunice, holding an eyebrow pencil and studying Yunice’s face.
“I had a tarot reading done,” Freya said seriously. “It said if you draw your brows like this tomorrow, you’ll definitely pass the exam.”
“I’ll pass whether I draw them or not,” Yunice replied.
“Don’t be so skeptical. This is Mr. Carl’s personal tarot reader. Super accurate.”
“Really?” Yunice raised a brow. “I want a reading too.”
“What do you wanna know?”
Yunice thought for a second. “When I’ll become rich.”
“You’re already rich.”
“I mean, sugar momma rich.”
Freya burst into laughter. “In that case, nope. Not telling you. If Mr. Wyatt hears, he’ll be traumatized.”
At the mention of Wyatt, Freya’s expression softened. “So he’s totally fine with you going to college?”
“He doesn’t get involved in my business.”
“Providing money for his wife’s tuition? That’s top–tier husband behavior.”
Yunice leaned in to sniff a lipstick, then placed it back down. “This one smells weird. Toss it.”

“Sure,” Yunice replied easily.
Yunice is taking the SATY
She was already in her twenties. Was that even allowed?
Lily scoffed to herself. Why couldn’t Yunice just be content as a rich man’s wife? Why did she have to be so vain?
