A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent’s phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. It was a message from Lyana, probably about Grandma’s bad mood.

His Adam’s apple bounced.

For some reason, he remembered how Lyana had gently blown on the gauze last night when she was changing it for him.

He could feel Lyana’s meticulous care for him.

After marrying into the Sanchez family, she seemed to have no further demands.

She had done too much for him and for the Sanchez family. If it wasn’t for Grandma’s request, she wouldn’t have been in danger when she was in MY.

Vincent replied:

– I’ll be there in a moment.

Then he put his phone away.

Lyana was really good.

Vincent looked at Lucas. His gaze was soft, and his voice softened.

– Lucas, you’re still young. You can’t think clearly, so don’t think about it for now.

Lucas’ eyes turned red. He asked worriedly:

– Is Auntie going to leave?

– She’s Daddy’s secretary. She must always work for him. She won’t leave just yet, Vincent said softly.

When Lucas heard that Lyana wouldn’t be leaving just yet, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Actually, he had another question for his father. In his opinion, his father was much smarter than him.

If he didn’t find his mom until he was Aunty’s age, could he let Auntie be his mom first?

No no.

If Mom came back and Aunty had to leave, Auntie would definitely be sad.

Would mom be sad too?

No.

He should think about finding his mom sooner!

It’s true. Maybe he’ll find mom tomorrow.

… .

In Matriarch Sanchez’s room.

While pouring the water, Lyana messaged Vincent before handing the cup to Matriarch Sanchez.

Matriarch Sanchez looked much paler than before. She sat down near the window. The autumn leaves had fallen, and the sunlight shone on her, making her look even lonelier.

Holding a cup of tea, Lyana approached Matriarch Sanchez and sat down.

– Grandmother.

Matriarch Sanchez took the cup of tea and took a sip. Only then did his body warm up. She put the cup of tea on the coffee table.

– It’s Vincent and his brother when they were young.

Lyana leaned over to take a look. In the photo, Vincent appeared to be only six or seven years old. Next to him was a boy slightly taller than him.

The two look very similar. Lyana thought it must be Vincent’s older brother.

She had heard that the young elder master of the Sanchez family had disappeared.

Lyana lowered her gaze. With the abilities of the Sanchez family, the young elder master of the Sanchez family had actually disappeared. It seems that the young elder master left on his own.

– He’s Vincent’s older brother, Christian Sanchez.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Lyana knew Matriarch Sanchez wanted the Moon Goddess because she wanted to know more about Christian Sanchez.

She was an atheist, but she had thought of using the Moon Goddess to peek at her dead child.

However, she still controlled herself. When she saw Matriarch Sanchez, she had already guessed the answer.

Matriarch Sanchez gently stroked Christian’s face in the photo. She sighed heavily and said,

– The Moon Goddess has already turned red, but I still haven’t seen her. I’m going to have to ask you to take a trip to MY.

– Grandmother, it’s good, said Lyana softly. His gaze was still fixed on the photo.

In the photo, Vincent’s expression was grim. He wasn’t smiling at all, like he was living in a dark hell.

However, Christian was different. There was a slight smile on his face and his eyes were mature. He looked like someone who didn’t like to reveal his emotions.

This look was a bit familiar. For a moment, Lyana couldn’t remember where she’d seen him before.

– Lyana, do you think he’s still alive? Matriarch Sanchez turned to look at Lyana. His eyes were rimmed red and filled with fatigue.

Lyana’s heart ached a little seeing that. The smell of blood still hung in the air, so she couldn’t answer Matriarch Sanchez’s question. Instead, she comforted her.

– Grandmother, if Brother were at home, he certainly wouldn’t want to see you so sad.

It was Matriarch Sanchez’s obsession. She always wanted the eldest of the young masters of the Sanchez family back.

Lyana pursed her lips and silently put the photo away. She looked at the dead leaves, her heart filled with sorrow.

She knew Matriarch Sanchez suffered from a mental illness. Sometimes a mental illness requires treatment.

Suddenly, the faces of Vicki and Chuan appeared in Lyana’s mind. Vincent had to suffer a blow to have two personalities.

Lyana’s gaze landed on Matriarch Sanchez’s face. After some hesitation, she asked:

– Grandmother, how is the relationship between Vincent and Elder Brother?

Hearing Lyana’s words, Matriarch Sanchez couldn’t help but smile. It was as if she had gone back to when Vincent and Christian Sanchez were together.

– These two are very close.

– Vincent respects Christian very much. Christian is also very fond of Vincent. He will give the best to Vincent.

– In the past, when Vincent was mean, it was Christian who protected him.

– The two studied together, they watched television together, and sometimes played Lego together.

… .

As Matriarch Sanchez spoke, her eyes gradually darkened. She frowned and pursed her lips, speaking no more.

Lyana was a little surprised by the relationship between Vincent and Christian Sanchez. If these two were really that close, Vincent would probably have mentioned Christian often.

But Vincent had never mentioned Christian Sanchez.

However, looking at Matriarch Sanchez’s current state, there should be some unease between Christian and Vincent.

– Does Vincent love Big Brother? Lyana asked hesitantly.

Matriarch Sanchez’s expression relaxed. Smiling, she said:

– When Vincent was young, he was very fond of his older brother. Moreover, they were both very humble. They always left the best things to each other.

Lyana smiled and nodded. It seemed like they only quarreled after they grew up. Moreover, the following words of Matriarch Sanchez confirmed his guess.

– They were raised separately since they were young. Vincent was sent to the countryside, and gradually he became less and less talkative. It’s the fault of his incompetent parents.

When Matriarch Sanchez said that, her tone was a bit unfriendly.

Lyana frowned. The Sanchez family was a big family. Even twenty years ago, the Sanchez family was still a famous family in An City. Why would the Sanchez family send Vincent to the countryside?

Vincent was not in good health. Shouldn’t it be supported at all times?

Speaking of which, she had been married to Vincent for so long, but she had never seen her parents.

Could it be that Vincent’s parents don’t like him?

In this case, it is possible.

When Lyana thought about Vincent having two personalities in his body, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. Maybe there were more than two personalities in her body, but she had never seen any other.

How sad and painful must a person be? How many times had he known despair to give birth to other personalities?

Lyana couldn’t help but express her confusion.

– Grandmother, why was Vincent sent to the countryside? There are so many bedrooms in the Sanchez family villa.

When Matriarch Sanchez heard Lyana’s question, her eyes instantly turned red. Her chest felt a little tight, and she took a few deep breaths. When she regained her composure, her voice was a bit strangled.

– It’s entirely Cecilia Keller’s fault. It is simply a sin.

Lyana’s eyes were filled with shock.

Before marrying Vincent, she had inquired about the Sanchez family. Cecilia Keller was Vincent’s mother.

When Cecilia Keller was young, she was the number one socialite in the country. Its beauty was still well known until today. No socialite in the country today was more popular than Cecilia Keller!

Matriarch Sanchez was generally sweet, kind, and generous. She never spoke ill of anyone.

Why Was Matriarch Sanchez Angry When She Mentioned Cecilia Keller?

Seeing that Matriarch Sanchez was breathing rapidly, Lyana became afraid that she couldn’t catch her breath. She quickly smoothed Matriarch Sanchez’s back and said softly,

– Grandma, don’t be angry. You have to take care of your health now.
