You can never be too careful. Wyatt said, “I’ll have someone warn the Kendall family.”
Taylor had returned to her family’s home. Paul grew increasingly uneasy the more he thought about it.
He was sure Taylor had poisoned them- he just hadn’t caught her red–handed yet.
Now that Taylor wasn’t home, it was the perfect time to search.

He and Taylor had been sleeping in separate rooms. So he sneaked into Taylor’s bedroom, rummaging through her private belongings.
Taylor was very cautious. The room had nothing unusual.
But Paul found an empty medicine packet in the trash bin.
“Church…” Paul immediately thought of that suspicious clinic.
There was a deli next to the clinic run by Gill, and that mysterious clinic owner – everything about the place felt off.
What Paul couldn’t understand was when Taylor and Yunice had gotten so close,
If Yunice hadn’t intervened earlier, maybe he could’ve landed a few more hits on Taylor.
Paul got up and called Elsie.
Ever since Elsie had been stabbed last time, she had been hospitalized. Owen, feeling guilty, insisted she stay the full hundred days to recuperate, though honestly her wound had long since healed.
On the call, Paul told Elsie that he and Taylor had fallen out and were about to divorce. This gave Elsie huge confidence.
Paul went on to say he wanted Elsie to nourish her health. Once she bore his child, the Lu family would have no reason to reject her anymore.
–
Elsie believed him. She thought he truly wanted to marry her even coming up with a plan like this- and she happily agreed.
Paul then recommended Church clinic to Elsie, telling her to start treatment there immediately.
So Elsie made up a story, asking Owen to accompany her to the clinic, saying it had excellent doctors who could help her recover her vitality. Owen agreed and went with her,
to check
Outside the clinic, Owen noticed a bustling deli next door, but didn’t care to check who the owner was.
Inside Jishantang, there was only a doctor veiled in black gauze. Seeing her strange outfit, Qwen finally remembered–he had been here once before.
Elsie sat down and explained her request to Yunice.
Yunice gave a soft response, methodically taking Elsie’s pulse, without revealing her identity.
At this moment, Elsie said, “Owen, I’m a little hungry. There’s a deli next door. Could you buy me something?”
Owen agreed, and Yunice’s gaze shifted slightly behind the black gauze, watching Owen’s back as he left.
Since Elsie had taken a knife for him, Owen had become utterly devoted to her.
Yunice noticed Elsie staring at her- those unsettling eyes seemingly trying to see through the veil to her true appearance,
Yunice almost laughed inside. The one who couldn’t bear children wasn’t Elsie
