The Daughter in the Shadows (by Una Norris) novel Chapter 77

Your Owen had not expected Yunice’s words to be so sharp. His face darkened, and he raised his fist. ready to teach her a lesson.

But Elsie hurriedly grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down. “Owen, don’t hit Yunice! She’s just harsh with her words, but deep down, she already prepared medicine for Paul!”

True enough. If Yunice showed up at the hospital and even knew Paul’s leg was injured, then she must have come to deliver medicine.

Owen lowered his fist, turning his palm upwards instead. “Hand the medicine to Elsie

Yunice’s expression was cold. “Why should I give it to her?”

“You think you can just waltz in there yourself? Owen sapped impatiently. “Paul belongs to Elsie. You’re just going to barge in like the main character, ogling his bare leg! Do you have no shame!”

Yunice shot back without hesitation. “If just seeing his leg is shameless, then when Elsie helped him take off his pants, shouldn’t the two of them have been dragged off to be drowned in a pig cage?”

Owen’s face flushed hot. “This is the kind of filthy talk you learned while you were away?” His anger surged, and once again, he raised his hand to strike her

“Mr. Owen” A cold voice cut through the air.

All three of them turned toward the source of the voice

It was Wyatt. He had changed into a dark red dress shirt, the sleeves casually rolled up, revealing his lean, powerful forearms. When he tightened his grip on his cane, the veins on the back of his hand stood out. radiating strength

Elsie’s gaze swept over Wyatt. She had rarely seen him before. All she had heard was that Wyatt was a cripple. But standing here now, he exuded a presence even more commanding than Jensen. The oppressive aura around him made people instinctively forget his inconvenient limp.

Why was he speaking to Owen?

Owen was also sizing him up, his eyes guarded. He had grown up on the same side as Paul. What could Wyatt possibly have to say to him?

Was it because Wyatt had been beaten last time and seen by me and now he wanted revenge

Countless thoughts ran through his mind, yet not one of them was prepared for what happened next.

Wyatt’s gaze passed straight over him and landed on Yunice.

Wyatt beckoned lightly. “Come here.”

Yunice glanced at Owen, then at Wyatt, and without hesitation, she ran toward him.

Wyatt sneered at Owen as he reached out and pulled Yonice behind him, shreiding her without the slightest disguise.

Chapter 77 The Sister You Failed to Protect

Owen was stunned, thinking Wyatt had misunderstood. “She’s my sister!”

Wyatt’s voice was calm but cutting. So she can come back to you and get beaten again?*

Owen’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Yunice. Could it be that in the days she’d disappeared…

Yunice lifted her eyes, standing coldly behind Wyatt, her voice like ice. I’m self–aware enough not to hide on purpose and make you worry. After all, I know better than anyone that none of you care whether I live or die.”
