Chapter 228 You Are Quite Loyal
Yunice said, “I did something this big, and you don’t want to admit it?”
Finished
Wyatt appeared again in Yunice’s line of sight, his eyes teasing. “So you are actually quite loyal.”
He paused, waiting for Yunice to argue, but Yunice just looked at him with a clear and calm. expression. She didn’t seem like she wanted to argue at all.
His face darkened slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Yunice was also waiting for him to say more. When he stayed quiet too long, she couldn’t help but remind him, “Don’t you reward people who contribute?”
Wyatt’s tone cooled again as he turned and walked in another direction. “What do you want?”
Yunice couldn’t hide her joy. “The beads bracelet in your hand.”
“No.”
Yunice frowned and lay back down without a word.
When Wyatt didn’t hear anything, he turned around again. Yunice looked clearly unhappy.
His gaze shifted slightly, then he gave in. “I can give you something else. When you’re better, just tell Jordan what you want.”
Yunice bit her lip, her eyes moved just a little, and she barely stopped her smile from rising.
She hadn’t been wrong. Wyatt really was giving in to her.
No matter what feeling this came from, it was a good thing for Yunice.
She felt that rushing to Rainier Arc Street had been totally worth it!
At least until Joe handed her a mirror and let her see herself.
After that, she couldn’t smile anymore.
Joe put the mirror down and said, “You’re wrapped like a mummy.”
Then he sighed. “You can’t move for the next few days, how are you even eating?”
There wasn’t even a nurse helping out..
Yunice said, “Wyatt fed me.”
“Whoa!” Joe gave her a smug auntie grin. “I knew it. Mr. Cooper treats you differently. He’s only ever taken care of a few people.”

personally cared for Madam Mary. Are there others?”
Joe answered casually, “His mother too. When she was alive, he looked after her.”
“I see…” Yunice had hoped she could get some kind of clue.
Finished
Just then, a noise came from the door of the hospital room. An older woman’s voice called, “Ms. Saunders, are you healing well?”
Yunice could turn her head a little now, and she saw Elianna pushing Mary in.
Joe stood up with a smiling face. “Madam Mary, what brings you here today?”
Mary ignored him and let Elianna push her right to Yunice’s bedside.
Mary’s eyes moved up and down, examining the bandages wrapped around Yunice. Her originally stern expression eased slightly.
Elianna rolled her eyes and muttered, “You’re really acting hard just to win over Wyatt.”
Joe quickly followed with a laugh. “Ms. Elianna, come on. Accidents don’t choose targets. You wouldn’t dare act this out in a drama. Ms. Saunders’s love for Mr. Cooper is something the universe can witness!”
Yunice pressed her lips together, feeling secondhand embarrassment from Joe’s over–the–top performance.
But Mary didn’t make things hard for Yunice. She only stayed a little while, then left.
Joe walked her out. “Madam Mary, since you’re here, why not stay and talk with Ms. Saunders a bit longer?”
Mary turned back and gave him a cold glance. “Don’t think I don’t know what you all are thinking. She shows up, and all of you are secretly thrilled.”
Mary’s face was grim, weighed down with concern.
Joe didn’t say a word back.
Mary lowered her eyes and took a long, deep breath, like she had no choice but to let Elianna push her away.
When Joe returned to the room, Yunice immediately asked, “Why does Madam Mary always have. something against me? Does she think I’m not good enough for Wyatt?”
“Well, problems between mother–in–law and daughter–in–law have been around forever. Grandmas are no different. Even if you gave Mr. Cooper a goddess, they’d still say she’s not grounded enough.” Joe smiled. “Don’t let it get to you.”
Yunice kept staring at him, and Joe knew she didn’t buy his answer.

gets close to Mr. Cooper has a motive. She’s afraid you’ll deceive him. But as long as Mr. Cooper is on your side, Madam Mary won’t say anything”
Yunice believed him–mostly, but not completely.
The person Wyatt moved out from the small villa still weighed on Yunice’s mind. She was afraid this might all be part of a carefully planned trap.
Yunice lay in bed a while longer. No one came to bother her.
The days passed in rare peace.
Gill sent her a video of Gill’s Deli & Bites. The business looked decent.
Freya came to visit, but the bodyguards Wyatt posted outside turned her away. Yunice only found out after she’d left.
The Saunders family stayed oddly quiet. Not one of them checked in on her.
