A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Chapter 257



After a DNA test, it was confirmed that William and Lyana were related by blood. They were biological siblings!

Lyana’s hands shook involuntarily as she stared at the results in disbelief.

The result was more shocking than she expected.

She had never thought that she and William were biological siblings.

She had at first thought that she was just the child of William’s family. If she was just a mistress’s child, she had no intention of going back.

Also, it was written very clearly on this DNA report that she and William had the same parents.

Why was it so?

If she was the biological daughter of the Royer family, why didn’t anyone look for her after she had been away from home for so many years?

Lyana staggered back a step, her eyes turning red.

The whole Royer family remembered the death of their eldest daughter. Why had it been abandoned?

Suddenly, a thought crossed Lyana’s mind.

The elder girl…

She remembered that her birthday was exactly the same as that of the eldest daughter of the Royer family. Even the year was the same.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Could it be…

Lyana seemed to have thought of something, her eyes were shocked.

Lyana’s heart sank and she frowned.

There is something wrong.

Is there a misunderstanding?

Suddenly, Lyana hears footsteps outside the office. She didn’t have time to think about this question carefully, so she hurriedly put the paternity test report back in the envelope.

Lyana opened the door and saw Farah standing outside.

Farah looked at Lyana in confusion. She didn’t understand why Lyana was in Doctor Sha’s office while Doctor Sha was waiting outside.

Farah glanced at Lyana, then at Doctor Sha, who was standing to the side. She said :

– I just came from Miss Silva’s service. His condition has stabilized.

– GOOD. In that case, we can ask him to try moving around the ward tomorrow, Doctor Sha said calmly.

Farah nods and replies:

– All right.

When Lyana heard Farah mention Miss Silva, she remembered Claire. His face darkened.

If it wasn’t for Claire, her brother wouldn’t have nearly died.

When her brother brought Claire back to An City, she would certainly have her begging to die.

Hiding the hatred in her eyes, Lyana quietly approached Doctor Sha and said very politely:

– Doctor Sha, can I tell you about Mr. Royer’s future medicine?

Hearing Lyana’s words, Doctor Sha nodded and walked into the office.

Doctor Sha walked over to the office and pulled out a list of medications. He handed it to Farah and said:

– Here is Miss Silva’s list of medications. Go put it away.

– All right.

Doctor Sha politely said,

– You must be tired after a busy night. Go to the nurses’ station and rest. I’ll call you back if anything happens.

– Yes.

After Farah left, Doctor Sha closed the door. His gaze fell on Lyana’s face. Seeing that Lyana had put the document on his desk, he asked suspiciously:

– You’re not going to win?

Lyana gently shakes her head and says solemnly:

– Doctor Sha, you can take a look at the contents. This matter is quite serious. I don’t want a third person to know. I don’t want to take it away now because I have nowhere to put it. I’ll give it to you first. Please take good care of it for me.

– All right,

said the doctor, opening the file. He froze when he saw what was inside.

– You are not going to use the identification document and recognize it now?

Lyana shook her head gently and said:

– He’s just out of danger and needs to rest. If I present this report to him now, he will certainly be very moved. I think I’ll tell him when he’s better.

Doctor Sha thought it logical and nodded without saying anything else.

Doctor Sha looked at Lyana in agreement. Lyana already knew that she and William were siblings. She was probably looking for a good moment to recognize him.

Although Mr. Royer was already out of danger, the place where he was injured was above his heart. If his emotions fluctuated too much, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lyana probably didn’t want to recognize her family because she was worried about Mr. Royer’s health.

The current Lyana already considered Mr. Royer as her family.

Doctor Sha locked the identification documents in the trunk.

– Thank you, Doctor Sha.

– Doctor Dubois is too polite.

When Lyana left Doctor Sha’s office, she headed towards the room. From a distance, she could hear the sound of leather shoes treading the ground. She looked up and saw Vincent.

Vincent’s eyes were as deep as the starry sky. Lyana’s heart inexplicably sank.

Due to her relationship with William, Lyana’s gaze was not as calm as before.

She retracted her gaze uncomfortably and approached Vincent.

– Why are you standing?

Vincent naturally noticed Lyana’s discomfort. He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:

– When I woke up, I didn’t see you.

Lyana raised her hand to look at the time on her wrist. Vincent had only slept about thirty minutes. Remembering that Vincent was still injured, she asked him gently:

– Do you want to go to the hotel and sleep a little more?

Vincent did not immediately respond to Lyana. Instead, he approached her and stared at her.

Vincent gradually looked down and saw Lyana’s hands clench into small fists. Maybe she had used too much force, because her knuckles were white.

Lyana looked nervous.

Vincent reached out and gently touched Lyana’s hand with his index finger.

Lyana’s body stiffened. Then, his hand moved slightly, relaxing a little.

The tip of the man’s index finger pierced the space between Lyana’s fingers. His fingers pressed against his palm, and his fingernails accidentally scratched his fingertips.

Lyana’s breathing involuntarily quickened. She looked up at Vincent, who was standing off to the side, and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away.

However, Vincent shook Lyana’s hand forcefully. Her fingers were crossed, and her fingers were intertwined tightly with hers. His dark eyes were covered in a thick fog, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. He said in a low voice:

– You look very nervous.

Hearing Vincent’s words, Lyana’s heart jumped nervously in her throat. Her breathing quickens as she explains:

– I just went to get Doctor Sha. He said that Mr. Royer’s wound was in danger of becoming infected and that I had to pay more attention to it. That’s why I’m a little worried about him.

Lyana explained naturally. This was also the reason why she had come to Doctor Sha’s office.

In fact, Lyana was still very hesitant. Should she tell Vincent directly that she and William were biological siblings?This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Without a word, Vincent pulled Lyana forward.

Lyana did not withdraw her hand again. Instead, she obediently followed.

When Lyana saw that Vincent had already pulled her past William’s neighborhood and she was still moving forward, she asked in surprise:

– Where are we going now?

Vincent didn’t let go of Lyana’s hand.

– You didn’t say we were going to rest at the hotel?

“Why don’t you go back to rest?” I am not tired now. I will stay here and watch over him.

Lyana smiled, but her tone was firm.

The strange feeling in Vincent’s heart grew stronger and stronger. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lyana sternly, his gaze growing colder and colder.
