Why was Yunice being so heartless toward him? Not even willing to give him the medicine.

“Paull” Elsie ran over, holding a new batch of plaster, proudly announcing. Tve made you a fresh batch of medicine. I guarantee it’ll relieve the pain the moment you apply it

Of course, Elve did not know how to make real plaster, All she did was spray a topical anesthetic on an ordinary plaster.

“Take it away, I don’t need it. Paul snapped, not even sure who he was angry at, his tone venomous. “I don’t believe that bastard can endure the pain while I can’t

He was determined to show Yunice that he was no worse than Wyatt.

When Yunice returned to the Saunders mansion, the door was not locked because Elsie and Owen had not returned yet.

It was already close to 3 a.m., and Lily had long since gone to bed.

The lights in the living room were on, and as soon as Yunice walked in, she saw gifts piled on the floor. She paused for a moment, and when she saw the white dove sticker on the intricate wooden box, she immediately knew whose it was.

Engagement gifts were only left out in the living room when there were too many to fit anywhere else.

Paul was clearly still quite attentive toward Elsie.

Yunice returned to her room, but despite lying in bed, she could not fall asleep

Elsie marrying into the Powell family would only further steal her identity.

So, what should my next move be? Perhaps Quinton would be the breakthrough I needed

Her intuition told her that Quinton would definitely seek her out again.

The next morning. Yunice slept in late. After all, no one in this house would care about her.

When she left her room, she saw Lily sitting in the living room. Yunice immediately turned to go back to her room.

Unexpectedly, Lily, for the first time ever, called out to her, “Yunny, come here.”

Lily rarely smiled so gently at her; her eyes were shining with a maternal glow.

Yunice was momentarily stunned and, almost by instinct, walked over.

Laly patted the seat next to her, pulling Yunice down beside her. They sat close together, and Yunice could even feel the warmth of Lily’s body. The maternal love the had longed for so much seemed to be right there, yet it made her feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

Though Lily’s feelings for Yunice were shallow, after all, she was her own flesh and blood. Late at night when insomnia hit, Lily would often feel guilty.

But this guilt always came quickly and left just as fast
