A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent still remembered the words of the doctors who had treated his illness in the past. They said his chances of recovery were less than ten percent. Many people claimed that he would not live past twenty, but he managed to live another five years through tremendous effort.

This woman clearly overestimated her own abilities. She actually said she had a 70% chance of curing him.

In the field of medicine, a 70% chance was already very high!Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Vincent’s gaze landed on Lyana’s face and a trace of ice flashed in her eyes. Taking his time, he asked,

– Seventy percent?

Seeing that Vincent didn’t believe her, Lyana crossed her legs and leaned forward slightly. She said:

– Did the doctors you researched say your chances were less than 10%? They’re not exactly wrong. I guess most of them are western medicine doctors!

Vincent looked coldly at Lyana and rubbed the jade ring on her finger in a usual motion, looking like he was considering her words.

Lyana was right. Most of the doctors he looked for were Western medicine doctors, and he had never thought of Chinese medicine.

After all, modern medical science has been advanced. Western medicine could treat her symptoms directly, depending on her condition.

Lyana’s gaze fell on Vincent’s jade ring. The quality of this jade was similar to the jade pendant the man had given her five years ago. She had to pick it up when she got home.

– Actually, even if you found a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, there aren’t many who can treat your illness.

Lyana tucked her hair behind her ear and said seriously,

– The main focus of my research is toxins.

A bright smile appeared on Vincent’s face, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.

It seemed like Lyana was really out to target the Sanchez family.

Vincent left after receiving a call. Lyana went back to the restroom and used a hair dryer to dry her hair. When she returned to her room, she saw that she had received a text message from Old A.

Lyana immediately dialed Old A’s number. The call went through, but before she could speak, Old A’s anxious voice came through the phone.

” Lyana, what have you done? Why is someone investigating you?”

Lyana looked out the window at the garden, basking in the sun. She asks,

” Who wants to investigate me?”

– Someone from the Sanchez family. His name is Vincent Sanchez.

Old A looked helpless. Letting out a long sigh, he said,

– The Sanchez family has power and influence. But don’t worry, I have ways to help you block their advances!

– It is not necessary. Just give him the information you found.

With that, Lyana hung up on Old A. She was about to leave her room when her phone rang again.

Lyana, how are you?

A coquettish male voice came over the phone. Hearing the man’s voice, Lyana couldn’t help but smile. Her red lips moved slightly as she spoke.

“I’m investigating what happened five years ago!”

On the other end of the roll call, a man was leaning lazily on a chair, one hand supporting his chin. You could tell with just one look that his casual suit was very expensive.

Beneath her short light brown hair was a blond face. Her facial features had a sort of feminine beauty to them, with a straight, defined nose. He looked up and those beautiful black eyes looked like bright, twinkling stars.

– Ana, I heard you were released from the psychiatric hospital. When are you free? Let’s get our marriage certificate!

When Lyana heard Norbert Lopez’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Norbert hadn’t changed, and he obviously still liked to joke. She answered,

– I don’t have time to register our marriage, but I could buy you a meal.

Norbert looked down, hiding the loneliness in his eyes. He couldn’t help doubting himself. is it because he was not sincere enough? Why did Lyana always treat her words as a joke?

– Of course, I’m still free. Call me when you’re free.

Norbert’s lips curved in a bitter smile. He looked at the information sent by his subordinate on the computer and said:

– You’re not the only one investigating the incident at the Star Hotel five years ago. Vincent Sanchez is too.

Confusion rose in Lyana’s eyes. She frowned slightly and thanked Norbert. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she hung up.

Vincent was investigating the same incident?

Lyana thought of the jade ring in Vincent’s hand. She had a vague idea that the man from five years ago was very likely to be someone Vincent knew.

The time she saw Vincent was when she came to visit her family. He still looked impassive.

When they arrived at the Dubois family villa, Lyana and Vincent got out of the car together.

When the butler Paul of the Dubois family saw the couple, he was shocked by the cold aura that enveloped Vincent. He couldn’t understand who this man was.

– Second Young Lady, shall I come in and inform the family?

Paul said shaking, his legs shaking all the time.

At the butler’s words, Lyana quickly stopped him and said:

– There is no need; you can leave. We will enter directly.

Hearing this, the butler privately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

Vincent’s gaze fell on the entire Dubois residence. Although he and Lyana didn’t have a wedding, Villa Sanchez was decorated with colorful lanterns and banners and looked very festive. However, there was nothing like it in Villa Dubois.
