The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 351

hapter 351 Where the Bullet Lands

Once Yunice’s blood pressure stabilized, Joe immediately began suturing the wound.

After a flurry of work, the nurses and assisting doctors counted the tools and left the operating room one by one.

Only Joe remained behind to continue monitoring her condition.

He removed his gloves, then glanced at Wyatt, who had been standing with his back to him the whole time.

“Wyatt, Madam really went through hell this time. The abdominal cavity is so small–if the angle had been off just a bit, it could’ve been fatal…” Joe knew Wyatt hated hearing this kind of thing, but he couldn’t help himself. “No matter how upset you were, you can’t lay a hand on her. She’s just this big, so fragile. Didn’t it hurt you to hit her? … You don’t even know. A few hours ago, she called me–asked me how she could help you calm down.”

Wyatt turned his head. “She asked about me?”

Joe caught a good look at Wyatt’s face and froze for a moment.

His eyes were rimmed red, but there wasn’t any visible affection in them. Still, Joe could sense the emotion buried deep behind his gaze.

Joe gave a soft nod. “More than once.”

Wyatt said, “Just another tactic to please me.”

Joe couldn’t deny that. He didn’t know how Yunice really felt about Wyatt.

But he did know Wyatt. “Wyatt, last time Madam took a bullet for you, you were so torn up over not being able to protect her because of your leg that you agreed to treatment. That meant something—you cared about her. So why can’t you take one more step forward?”

“With how unstable your emotions are–after what happened this time–do you think she’ll still dare to come near you?”

Wyatt frowned and looked at Yunice’s pale face, his expression conflicted.

Everyone assumed he had hit her. But that wasn’t what happened

He was just angry that Yunice didn’t like him. That’s what got to him.

He never expected her to have such a fierce temper–that she’d actually dare to fight back.

She never acted like that with Paul.

That thought made Wyatt sneer coldly. Only the favored get to be so bold. And what, he expected to get treated the same as Paul?

Yunice’s injury had only been a grazing wound–she wasn’t in danger–so Joe didn’t stay in the OR.

Outside, Joe and Jordan exchanged a look. Both had thoughts, but neither said a word.

When Yunice woke up, she had already been moved to a regular hospital room.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the broad back of someone standing beside her bed.

The figure was tall, impossible to ignore.

In a hoarse voice, Yunice said, “Wyatt.”
