The Invisible Daughter (Yunice Saunders) novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Blood and Blame

+8 Pearls

Oscar was the first to catch the sharp scent of blood. He looked down–and saw that Yunice’s hospital gown was soaked red.

Owen turned as well, and his face went blank with confusion.

What’s going on? Where’s all that blood coming from?

Oscar and Carl both went pale. One jumped forward, panicked, while the other rushed to press the call button.

But it didn’t work.

Oscar looked down and realized the cord had been yanked out.

He turned his head sharply toward Owen. “Who did this?”

Owen avoided his

eyes.

But everyone knew.

Oscar clenched the snapped cord in his fist, his voice shaking with rage. “So when Yunice tried to call for help, you bastards made sure she couldn’t!”

Q

He threw the cord in Owen’s face.

Owen muttered weakly, “She never said she was hurt…”

“Her face was white as a sheet! You couldn’t see that? You couldn’t ask? No, you were too busy covering your own ass to let anyone in and find out what really happened!”

Carl growled, “Get the doctor. Now.”

He stepped up to Yunice’s bedside, taking Oscar’s place. “How did you get hurt?”

Owen scoffed from behind. “Seriously? We already said–Wyatt hit her. Why else would she be in the hospital?”

But Yunice pointed to Elsie. “She did it.”

“She knew I had surgery right here, and she still pressed on the wound over and over. It hurt so bad I couldn’t take it. When she wouldn’t stop, I bit her.”

Elsie let out a loud cry. “Yunice! Don’t lie in front of Mr. Carl–I didn’t touch your injury!”

Owen jumped in too. That’s right. Even I didn’t know where you were hurt. How could she press it exactly? If it happened, it was an accident. You didn’t even say anything.”

Yunice answered calmly, “Let’s hope that next time you’re in a hospital bed, someone jabs your wound. I hope you’re able to scream for help.”

Owen had no comeback.

Yunice went on. “And you say she didn’t know where I was hurt–then why did you come to the hospital at all? Who told you I was injured? Didn’t that person mention where the injury was?”

He looked at Elsie. She was the one who’d told him Yunice had been hurt.

Elsie stammered, “A friend from work told me. I passed it along to Owen right away.”

Yunice narrowed her eyes. “What friend? Got a name? A number? Let me see some proof. Don’t come crying to me later about being falsely accused. You hit the one and only injury I have–what a coincidence, huh?”
