Joe diligently prepared the plaster, and upon seeing Yunice, he casually greeted her, “Ms. Saunders, I forgot to ask last time. What’s the name of this plaster?”
Yunice froze for a moment, a strange expression crossing her face.
Joe immediately realized his mistake, covering his mouth as he remembered that Yunice had specifically told him not to mention it to Wyatt the last time she wrote the prescription.
Wyatt glanced at the medicine in Joe’s hands and immediately recognized it as the same plaster he had been using recently for his leg. With a sarcastic tone, he said, “It’s called ‘Beloved, right?”
Joe, thinking Wyatt was teasing Yunice, was surprised by his sudden playful demeanor but still complimented him, “That’s a good name!”
Yunice’s face flushed, but she said nothing. She had actually come here to thank Wyatt properly, then head home. After all, Wyatt was not a close relative, so she could not just linger around his place, could she?
Standing like a good student, she sincerely expressed her thanks, and Wyatt simply acknowledged her with a grunt.
Nothing more was said.
Yunice understood his unpredictable temperament, so she did not push for more conversation. Instead, after a brief glance at Wyatt, she turned on her heels and hurried over to the dresser, clutching the pink scarf to her chest.
Noticing Wyatt looking her way, she quickly bowed in gratitude once more before turning to leave.
Joe teased, “Ms. Saunders really is something, acting like a schoolgirl bowing to her elders.”
Wyatt’s face darkened as he casually knocked over a bottle of medicine on the counter.
Joe quickly retracted his grin, realizing his mistake. “Mr. Cooper, don’t pour poison into ‘Beloved‘ now!”
Seeing Joe still joking,
yatt picked up the bottle with his fingers, preparing to silence him. Joe hurriedly waved his hands and stepped back. “Mr. Cooper, please, please, no need for that…”
As Yunice left the hospital, a figure approached her from the front.
After her kidnapping ordeal, Yunice still carried some lingering fear. So, when she saw someone walking toward her, her first instinct was to
retreat./
However, the person diately stopped and, holding up their phone, said, “Ms. Saunders, don’t be afraid. I’m here on Mr.
Cooper’s orders.”
The phone was still on call, an
Wyatt’s voice came through the speaker, “Get in the car.”
It was clear that he was talking to Yunice.
Yunice belatedly murmured an “Oh,” though it seemed the other side did not hear her, as Wyatt hung up immediately. afterward.
Once she got into the car, the driver lowered the partition between the front and back seats.
The silence in the enclosed space made it easy for one’s mind to wander, to lose focus. Yunice leaned back against the seat, unknowingly thinking of Wyatt..
Why did he always get angry for no reason? Could it be a midlife crisis for men?
In Paul’s hospital room, he sat on the bed in a daze after Elsie pushed him back. She spoke to him, but he did not respond, as though he had not heard her.

Elsie thought he was too pained to focus and decided to turn around and get him some painkillers.

Left in peace, Paul finally turned his gaze to the window, his mind occupied with Yunice’s words, ‘Beloved.
Years ago, when he had injured his leg, it had been Yunice who stayed by his bedside, repeatedly making and testing the medicine.
At that time, he had been impatient with the pain, annoyed by her presence, even scolding her.
Then she had stepped back, avoiding him while making the medicine. Two days later, she returned with dark circles under her eyes, her body covered in scrapes, but with a new batch of medicine. Once applied, the pain faded.
It was only afterward that he learned Yunice had not slept those two nights, trying various concoctions and searching every pharmacy in the city for a rare ingredient. She even fell, injuring her hands in the process.
Back then, young and pure in his feelings, Paul could not help but be moved by Yunice’s dedication. Proud of his devoted little wife, he had impulsively suggested naming the medicine ‘Beloved‘ as a reward for her.
He even boasted about opening a hospital for Yunice to run as the head, where she could spread her medicine and where Beloved‘ would symbolize their perfect love for all eternity.
He still remembered her expression when he said it. At first, she had frowned at the name, but after hearing his lofty ambitions, she smiled, seemingly touched.
Paul chuckled to himself, recalling that moment. But after laughing aloud, he suddenly froze.
What am I doing? Am I going nuts? Why am I thinking about the past now?
Yunice no longer liked him. She even hated him, wishing he would stay far away from her. She had even resorted to scheming, deliberately pushing him toward Elsie.
Paul clenched his fist, still unwilling to accept it. Even though he had not married her as promised, did the twenty years they had spent together not deserve to make them friends?
