69 The Missing Bride.

Her blessing would mean so much to me.”

Finished

Owen sighed. “She’s not like you, kindhearted. I don’t expect her blessing. I just hope she doesn’t cause any trouble.”

Sull, he added cautiously. “But we’d better find her. Thest thing we need is a scandal to ruin byour /bwedding.

The searchsted bwell /binto the night, bbut /bYunice was nowhere to be found.

Owen finally called Paulb, /basking him. “Hadn’t Yunice mentioned that Margaret had a friend bwho /bwould take her in?”

But Paul knew there was bno /bsuch friend.

As he wondered where Yunice could be, Wyatt came to bmind/b.

Hyatt had just been disciplined by Jackson and hospitalized. Was Yunice looking after him?

The thought of Yunice doting on Wyatt made Paul’s stomach churn with jealousy..

She wouldn’t even put ointment on me, yet she eagerly served that cripple?

How pathetic.

Paul grabbed his jacket band /bheaded out, growling into the phone, “I’ll find her myself.

After hanging up, he rushed to Silverburgh Hospital.

In Wyatt’s room, he pushed past Jordan, who tried to stop him, and kicked the door open.

Wyatt sat bon /bthe bed, his gaze icy as itnded on Paul.

I’d warned him before, don’t fall into my hands again.

bPaul /bignored the threat. Scanning the room band /bbfinding /bbno /bone, he stormed into the bathroom band /bchecked every possible hiding ce. Still no Yunice.

He marched back to Wyatt and demanded, “Where are you hiding Yunice?”

bJordan /brushed in and tugged at Paul. “bYunice /bisn’t here! bPaul /bshook him off, fixating bon /bWyatt. “We’ve searched all bof /bbSilverburgh/bb. /bIf she’s not with you, where else would she be?”

Wyatt’s voice was cold. “Yunice is missingb?/b”

Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed his cane and swung his injured leg off the bed.

bJordan /bfrowned. “Wyatt! Let me do this. You bshouldn’t /bbe moving around…”

Paul finally realized that Yunice really bwasn’t /bhere. But where else could she be?

If Wyatt didn’t have her. I’d look somewhere else.

Just as he turned to leave, Wyatt’s voice cut through the air.
