The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 89

Hospitals were filled with all kinds of people–VIPS, celebrities. It wasn’t unusual for someone to attract attention. 

Yunice didn’t think much of it. What she didn’t know was that the person being swarmed by admirers just outside was none other than Elsie. 

Wearing a white coat, hands tucked neatly into her pockets, Elsie walked calmly at the front of the group. A crowd of nurses and medical interns followed close behind. 

“Dr. Elsie, is it true? Are you really Mr. Paul from the Powell family’s girlfriend?” someone asked, barely able to contain their excitement. 

Elsie gave a dazzling smile, not slowing her stride. “It’s just a rumor. Don’t take it seriously.” 

“But we saw Mr. Paul in the car with you when you were dropped off! That ride was gorgeous.” 

“That was a blue Bugatti, right? Only 200 made in the world. Of course it’s gorgeous.” 

“Dr. Elsie, isn’t your hair clip from Balenciaga? It’s going for $140,000 on the official site!” 

“God, she’s wearing an apartment on her head and still says she’s not dating Mr. Paul?” 

Elsie stopped in front of Deputy Director Xavier’s office, turned back, and playfully winked. She made a finger–gun gesture and said with a gleam in her eye, “Spread one more rumor, and I’ll sue you.” 

The girl she pointed at immediately clutched her chest like she’d been struck by Cupid’s arrow. Laughter echoed through the hallway. 

That cheeky way of “denying” the rumors only made everyone believe it more. Clearly, she was Mr. Paul’s girlfriend–just choosing to stay low–key. 

Elsie stepped into Mr. Xavier’s office. 

He had clearly been waiting, because the second the door opened, he practically leapt to his feet. Grinning from ear to ear, he hurried over to greet her. “Dr. Elsie, such an honor to finally meet you!” 

Elsie responded politely. “Mr. Xavier, I’ll be counting on your support from now on.” 

“Of course, of course. Mr. Paul already gave me the heads–up. I’ll give you my full support.” 

Silverburgh Hospital was partially funded by the Powell Corporation. Mr. Xavier was one of Jensen Powell’s men. 

Everyone in Silverburgh knew Paul was the Powell family’s sole heir. That made Elsie–the woman publicly linked to him- the future lady of the house. 

Who wouldn’t want to curry favor? 

Elsie was pleased with their reaction. If she’d known Paul’s identity was this useful, she wouldn’t have wasted so much time at Saunders Hospital. 

Still, things had taken a turn for the better. The family she had once injured and crippled would be furious if they found out she hadn’t been punished–in fact, she was thriving. 

Once the small talk was over, Mr. Xavier moved behind his desk and slid a form toward her.
