The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 The Ugly Truth

Wyatt frowned and looked away, clearly displeased.

Yunice sensed the shift and looked up at him.

He moved toward the window, opened it just a crack to let in some air, and didn’t glance back at her once.

Behind her, out of sight, his eyes were clouded with agitation. He couldn’t believe he’d just reacted to Yunice like that.

Yunice didn’t understand. She was about to speak when someone knocked on the door.

Jake pecked in, eyes bright as he looked at Yunice first, then said to Wyatt, “Wyatt, Marlam Johnson’s awake. She wants to see you.”

Wyatt gave a quiet response and, with the help of his cane, walked out of the room.

Yunice sat up in bed, her eyes following the way he walked.

“Handsome, right?”

She turned toward Jake, who was grinning like a gossiping aunt.

“Wyatt is the best–looking man on a cane I’ve ever seen,” Jake said. “But don’t stare too much. He’s petty.”

Yunice gave a small nod, grateful for the warning. She knew people with disabilities sometimes carried emotional wounds

100. 100.

Jake’s gaze drifted to the gash on her face, and he sighed. “Don’t worry about the scar. Even if it doesn’t heal on its own. Wyatt will find the best plastic surgeon to fix it.”

“Huh?” Yunice blinked, surprised

Thinking she didn’t believe him, Jake added, “He said so himself, I can tell–he treats you different.”

“Does he?”

“Definitely. He’s not usually like this.”

“What’s he usually like, then?”

“He…” Jake stopped mid–sentence, realizing that if Wyatt did like her, he could easily screw it up by saying the wrong thing. “He’s usually cold. Real cold.”

Yunice was a little disappointed she couldn’t get more out of him.

Just then, Jake took a call Whatever he heard made him glance at Yunice quickly and nod along.

When he hung up, he said, “Ms. Saunders, Madam Johnson wants to see you.”

He rolled in a wheelchair, “Come on, I’ll take you over.”

“L. I don’t think that’s necessary..“Yunice was still a little dizzy and unsteady, but not so bad that she needed a chair. She could manage.

Jake leaned in, lowering his voice. “This isn’t about the wheelchair. It’s about appearances.”

“She doesn’t like you. If you look pitiful, it’s harder for her to stay cold.”

Yunice thought, even Jake can tell she doesn’t like me..

She sat down in the chair. Jake pushed her toward Madam Johnson’s room.

“Madam, I brought Ms. Saunders,” Jake called ahead as they entered.

Yunice gripped her sleeves tightly, feeling exposed as everyone turned to look.

Madam Johnson rested in bed. Wyait stood beside her.

Jordan was at the door. Jake stood at the back of the chair.

Yunice was just taking in the room when a sharp face suddenly leaned in close. She pulled back instinctively.

A red–haired man scrunched his brow, “Damn. That’s ugly.”

He stepped back dramatically, hands in his pockets, all arrogance. “No way I’m marrying that freak. Someone else can

take her.”

Even if she hadn’t seen him before, it wasn’t hard to guess–this had to be Morgan, the man Lily had called a “perfect
