Chapter 76 Love Means Nothing Here
But to Elsie’s surprise, Paul actually avoided her gaze and did not speak up for her.
Finished
Jensen had never liked her family background to begin with, and here she was deliberately calling him “Dad? Was she asking for trouble?
Seeing that even Paul would not defend her, Elsie wiped away her tears <b>and </b>fled the hospital room. looking utterly wronged.
Jensen watched her leave with a look of utter contempt in his eyes. Then he turned back to look at his disappointing son, <b>his </b>voice cold as ice. “If you’re just ying around with her, fine. <b>But </b>if you’re serious, don’t me me for cutting all father–son ties.”
<b>Paul </b><b>looked </b>at him in shock. Cut ties? How?
Jensen sneered, I’m still young. I can have another son
Paul’s face went pale.
Jensen continued, “If you still want to stay in your grandfather’s good graces, then go bring the Powell family a real ally”
Paul knew full well that his father looked down <b>on </b>Elsies humble background, but still he said, “I can’t betray Elsie
Hearing this, Jensen’s gaze turned sharp. He grabbed Paul by the cor and growled, “Your grandfather has already arranged for Wyatt to marry Yunice. That’s our only <b>chance </b>to catch up to them! And what will marrying Elsie get you, apart from a flock of freeloading rtives?”
Then, he pressed down <b>hard </b>on Paul’s injured leg
Paul cried out in agony. But Jensen didn’t <b>show </b>the slightest bit of mercy. “If <b>you </b>don’t get your act together, the pain will only get worse.”
The veins on Paul’s forehead bulged from the pain. He could not even find the strength to argue
After leaving the room, Jensen ordered the bodyguards outside. “No more painkillers for him.”
“<b>Yes</b>, sir!” The bodyguards replied in unison.
Inside, Pauly drenched in cold sweat, slumped on the bed. Maybe the pain had numbed him, or maybe he was just delirious, but his mind began to wander.
Who did Father say Hyatt was going to marry?
The pain was unbearable that he had not caught the name clearly.
Clutching his injured leg. Paul gritted his teeth. Jensen was truly ruthless. The wound was already bleeding
again.
<b>Frustrated </b><b>and </b>furious, he called for a doctor for Elsie. but no one came.
Jensen clearly intended to grind him down.

After half an hour of shouting. Paul finally gave in. slumping against the headboard
Unable to sleep from the pain, his mind wandered again. To Elsie and to Yunice<b>. </b>
Elsie had said injuries just needed <b>to </b>be endured, but that was not true.
<b>Back </b>in middle school, he had fractured a bone ying basketball. Yunice had made him a crude–looking herbal ster. It was ugly and old–fashioned, but it worked better than any medicine from the <b>hospital</b>. It had not hurt at all.
Paul nced at the door. Yunice was in this hospital too. Why had she note to see him?
Meanwhile, Wyatt was changing his bandages in another room, while Yunice was wandering the hallway outside.
From a distance, the voices of Owen <b>and </b>Elsie approached.
Owen was saying. “The Saunders family does have a form for pain relief, but only Yunice knows how to make it.
Elsie added anxiously, “Maybe we should call the police find Yunice, and get her to treat <b>Paul</b>. That is the priority right now.
Owen waved her off. “Forget it. She probably heard about your engagement and deliberately hid herself. thinking it would make us anxious. If we ignore her, she’lle crawling back in a few days”
Elsie sighed. “If only I could make that pain–relieving medicine. I’d definitely give the form to you. It’d be such a boost <b>for </b>your hospital!”
Her <b>words </b>sparked a <b>thought </b>in Owen
A technical monopoly was <b>the </b>ultimate <b>advantage </b>for anypany. So far, no <b>hospital </b>had managed to develop a painkiller without side effects.
Yunice clearly <b>had </b>such an effective form; why was he not <b>helping </b><b>his </b>hospital ger through its current
crisis!
As he was thinking this, they rounded a corner, and there she was.
<b>Owen </b>stopped in surprise. “Yunice?”
Leaning against the wall, Yunice looked utterly unsurprised to see them.
Funny, wasn’t it? She <b>had </b>been missing for three days, yet her dear brother had not even bothered to call the police. He had <b>even </b>found time to visit <b>Paul </b>
But she was not disappointed. Not anymore. From the moment Owen had left her in <b>that </b>burning building, she has realized that her life meant absolutely <b>nothing </b>to him<b>. </b>
Yunice! 1 finally found you!” Elsie eximed. genuinely overjoyed<b>. </b>“We’ve all been worried sick these past few days.
Worried sick?” Yunice sneered, her voiceced with sarcasm “Worried <b>how</b><b>, </b>exactly? nketing the streets with missing person posters? Going door to door asking for me?”

Owen’s face darkened at her mocking tone. The whole family’s busy preparing for Elsie’s wedding. If you don’t <b>care</b>, fine. But <b>you </b>expect us to drop everything just to look for you?”
Then he added angrily, “Look at you, perfectly fine. Clearly you went missing deliberately, <b>just </b>to get attention. And I actually wasted my time worrying about <b>you</b>”
Yunice let out a coldugh.
“You better worry about the Powell family’s precious son. If he ends up crippled and impotent, wouldn’t Elsie basically be a living widow?
