A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Under the light, the scar on his back was like a long coiling snake. Some of his flesh was exposed. Was it very painful?

With that thought in mind, Lyana opened the medicine box. If she wanted to change the bandage, she had to get rid of the scabs on her body that were stuck to the gauze. She couldn’t even tear her wound. It was a huge challenge for Lyana.

Lyana frowned. She opened the medicine box and took out a pair of scissors. Looking at the scar, she unconsciously blew on it.

Vincent had been lying on his side from the start. The hand under the blanket gradually clenched into a fist, its knuckles turning white.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Lyana didn’t notice Vincent’s small movements. All his attention was on Vincent’s injury. She helped him unwrap the old gauze, disinfect it, apply medicine, and then bandage it again. It took him a total of half an hour.

If she hadn’t been afraid of hurting Vincent, she would have been done a long time ago.

After doing this, Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. She quietly put away the medicine box, pulled the blanket and covered Vincent with it. Her gaze inadvertently fell on Vincent’s handsome face.

Vicki and Chuan’s faces flashed through Lyana’s mind again. She quickly pulled her gaze away and left with the medical kit.

The light in the room disappeared. When Vincent heard the door close, he opened his eyes.

There was no trace of light in those dark eyes.

He remembered how Lyana had blown on his wound just now. It was as if a feather had brushed his heart. It was sweet and a bit strange.

Vincent could not describe this feeling. He had never felt this before.

At that moment, he couldn’t help but remember how Lucas proudly said, “My aunt loves me the most.”

At first glance, Lyana prefers…

Vincent’s thoughts stopped. A name flashed in his mind.

– Chuan Sanchez.

This name was very familiar to him, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.

Vincent sat down, turned on the bedside lamp and called Thomas.

– Second Young Master.

– Go investigate a Chuan Sanchez. The more detailed his information, the better.

When Thomas heard Vincent’s words, he nodded.

– I’ll investigate tomorrow morning.

– I hope I can see all of his information when I wake up tomorrow.

– Then I will investigate now.

As soon as Thomas finished speaking, the phone rang.

Thomas frowned. The second young master was actually so eager to get information about this person. Who exactly was this person?

In silence, he got up and got ready to work.

… .

Lyana returned to the guest room and remembered William calling her. Previously, she had been too busy to answer.

Lyana was about to call back when she saw that it was already after four. She texted William.

– Brother, what’s wrong?

The moment she sent the message, William called.

After answering the call, Lyana saw that William appeared to be in a room with pink walls. His eyes blinked.

Previously, on the anniversary of the death of the eldest daughter of the Royer family, she had gone with them. She still remembered that this house had been specially prepared for the eldest daughter of the Royer family.

She still remembers that the house of the eldest daughter of the Royer family was like a fairy tale castle. There were also clothes of all ages in the wardrobe.

At that time, she was still very envious of the eldest daughter of the Royer family. So many people coveted her, but she didn’t expect her to be the eldest daughter of the Royer family.

– Brother, Lyana greeted with a smile.

– My Sugar, I slept too much on the plane. I’m not tired. I just wanted to see if you were sleeping.

– I’m not sleepy either. Lyana smiled.

– I want to show you your room.

With that, William got the camera rolling.

Lyana’s eyes instantly softened. His gaze fell on the phone screen, and the familiar elements appeared. His lips couldn’t help but tighten.

She couldn’t go home now. His brother was showing him around his room.

Lyana still remembers that at that time, William was standing outside, not wanting to come in. Other people told her that William blamed himself for the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Royer family.

– This is the living room. You often played with this baby carriage when you were young. She seemed a little old last year. Grandma asked someone to renovate it.

– This is your bedroom. The pillow on the bed is the one you often slept on when you were young. The bed curtains were also your favorite pink color when you were young.

– This short strawberry skirt was worn on your first birthday.

– This old-style kasaya dress was worn during the New Year. At that time, you had your hair tied in two buns. You looked like a dumpling with a jade face. Previously, to make dumplings, you had flour all over the body.

… .

Lyana watched the scene on her phone screen. William’s cold voice echoed in his ears. Little by little, she began to imagine living with the Royer family when she was young.

So she had been so happy when she was young.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember anything.

William held up his phone and explained every inch of the room to Lyana. As he talked about the past, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch. When he accidentally glanced at the screen, he saw that Lyana had already fallen asleep. His eyes were filled with affection. His Sugar was really too obedient and adorable.

– Good night, William said softly before hanging up.

Since returning to the Royer family, he had already had someone investigate Sugar’s kidnapping. Maybe because he was too excited, he couldn’t fall asleep at night. He secretly got up in the middle of the night and went straight to the villa his family had prepared for Sugar.

Previously, he had called Lyana to see if she had fallen asleep. He didn’t expect Lyana to take long to respond.

He was really looking forward to telling Sugar about his childhood memories and showing him his room.

… .

The next day, when Lyana woke up, it was already past eleven.

She hadn’t taken off her clothes or removed her makeup last night, so she rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. Once she was done, she opened the door and was about to go to Lucas’ room when she saw Lucas crouched down next to her door.

– Lucas?

Seeing Lucas crouched down, Lyana hurriedly picked him up and asked worriedly:

– How long have you been there?

Lucas’ face was still a little flushed. Her facial features were exquisite, and her eyes flickered.

Lyana touched Lucas’ forehead with her other hand. Luckily, he didn’t have a fever.

– He was waiting for you here.

Vincent came out of the next room and looked at Lucas’s face. Then he said:

– It’s been over an hour.

– Lucas, why didn’t you wake me up?

Lyana hugged Lucas and headed to her bedroom.

When she passed in front of Vincent, he naturally gave way. She even saw Lucas’ smug expression.

Vincent pursed his lips and remained silent.

When Lyana placed Lucas on the bed, Lucas said in a childlike voice,

– Aunty is tired.

Lyana was slightly stunned. Her gaze fell on Lucas’s face and she reached out to touch his cheek.

– Did Lucas sleep well last night?

Lucas nodded. He looked at Lyana with his grape-shaped eyes and said in a childish voice:

– Lucas wants to visit Auntie before going home.

– What ?

Lyana was slightly stunned. It was only then that she realized that Lucas was referring to his own house. She looked at Lucas with a pang in her heart. This child had never been pampered since he was young.

– Lucas, don’t go back there again. Can’t you stay here?

Lucas’ pupils dilated uncontrollably. He thought he had heard wrong, and his voice faltered.

– Aunt, are you saying…

– Lucas.

Lyana looked at Lucas softly, as if looking at herself when she was young. She had always dreamed of living with her parents.

“This will be your house from now on. You will live here, okay?
