The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 372

apter 372 Fighting Back

Another week passed, and Yunice received a familiar client.

It was Taylor.

She looked even thinner than before, with a few traces of exhaustion on her face.

An imperfect marriage drained a person’s spirit, and the Powell family was a vipers‘ nest to begin with. Taylor was being worn down by endless petty troubles.

Seeing her like this made Yunice’s heart ache. She wrote a prescription to boost Taylor’s energy and simmered it in a clay pot.

Taylor sat beside her and explained why she had come. She said her father was sick feeling weak, and having aching joints.

It sounded like a case of wind chill.

But Mr. Gerardo was busy with work and had flown overseas recently, so he couldn’t come in for an appointment himself.

Taylor hoped Yunice could prescribe some medicine she could have an assistant deliver to him.

Yunice said, “Symptoms described over the phone might not be accurate. Does Mr. Gerardo have time for a video call? I’d like to see his face.”

Taylor tried calling, but because of the time difference, Mr. Gerardo didn’t answer.

Not wanting her trip to be wasted, Yunice prescribed some medicine to ease the symptoms for now. If it didn’t work, they would think of another plan.

Taylor took the medicine but didn’t leave right away. She looked like she wanted to say something but then stood speaking.

She quickly left the clinic and got into her car.

In the driver’s seat, Alan turned and said, “Miss.”

Taylor frowned deeply, her face full of frustration.

Her father’s minor cold hadn’t really warranted her rushing all the way here. She actually had another reason for coming.

She had been married to Paul for several months now, and both Jensen and Linda had been probing her about her marital relationship with him.

Normally, Taylor would have ignored them, but Linda had gone too far. Last time, while Paul was home, Linda had secretly drugged Taylor’s water, trying to force her to seduce Paul.

If Alan hadn’t noticed something was wrong and rushed her to the hospital, things could have ended very badly. Even afterward, Paul had humiliated her over it, and the old man of the family had taken the opportunity to make trouble for Alan.

Taylor had married into the Powell family to build her career, not to get trapped in a brutal house fight.

She wanted to be the strong, independent woman – but those parasites were determined to drag her down and bleed her dry.

It infuriated her. Just now, she had wanted to confide in Dr. Rylie and see if there was any way she could stay alert and immune to the drugs they tried to use against her.

Yunice handed her a small bottle of water. “Whatever they did to you, do it back to them. The ingredients in this are safe and undetectable.”
