A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Seeing that Vincent didn’t want to let go, Lyana tried to pull her hand away.

At that moment, the man tightened his grip, and Lyana was caught off guard and fell into Vincent’s arms.

The man exerted more force and pinned Lyana against the wall.

She is shocked by Vincent’s sudden action. Her face turned pale and she asked in surprise:

– Vincent, what are you doing?

Vincent’s slender fingers pinch Lyana’s chin and his gaze lands on Lyana’s eyes. His voice was as cold as winter frost, and there was a hint of anger in his voice.

“Ms. Sanchez, aren’t you a little too worried about him now?”

Vincent’s last word was slightly dragged. It gave food for thought.

When Lyana heard Vincent’s words, she was stunned. His heart raced involuntarily. She hadn’t expected Vincent to have such a dominating side.

Was Vincent jealous?

How could this be possible?

However, Vincent’s words seemed to remind him of his current identity.

Vincent let go of her indifferently and gently tucked Lyana’s hair behind her ear. His expression was cold, but his voice was as soft as ever.

– Be wise. Go back to the hotel and rest now. Leave the rest to me. As for the favor you owe me, I will return it to you.

Be wise ?

When Lyana heard it, she seemed to have gone back five years.

The man had said the same things to her that night.

There seemed to be a certain resemblance in their voices.

Vincent dropped Lyana and said,

-Thomas.

Thomas, who had just approached with a blanket, overheard Vincent and Lyana’s conversation.

He involuntarily tightened his grip on the blanket and shivered.

The Second Master was angry again.

Oh dear, is he going to make her stack tiles again?

At this idea, Thomas felt like he had no reason to live.

Thomas bravely stepped forward and said:

– Second young master.

– Take Madame to the hotel to rest now.

Fortunately, it had nothing to do with the tiles.

Thomas secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He looked up at Lyana and said:

– Ma’am, let’s go.

Lyana gave a slight nod and didn’t persist.

In Vincent’s opinion, she had just transfused 500 milliliters of blood for William. If she continued to accompany William now, Vincent might suspect that she has other feelings for him.

When Lyana and Thomas reached the elevator, she turned to Thomas and asked:

– Thomas, when did Vincent come to An City?

Lyana asked this question because she wanted to confirm if the man from that night five years ago was Vincent.

This is because the voices of Vincent and this person were somewhat similar.

– Thomas?

Seeing that Thomas had remained silent, Lyana called.

Thomas suddenly came to his senses and said:

– It must have been that winter, three years ago. I remember Matriarch Sanchez suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. It was Miss Julie who called the second young master to come back.

– Are you sure ?

– Of course I’m sure. Moreover, the second young master has always lived in Qin City. Everyone in the Sanchez family knows that.

Lyana frowned slightly and asked:

– Did Vincent go to An City before that?

– No, at the time, the second young master’s grandmother didn’t want the second young master to come here. She said that the health of the second young master was not good and that he would transmit his illness to the elder young master. Therefore, the second young master has always lived alone in Qin City.

When Lyana heard Thomas’s words, her eyebrows raised.

How could Vincent’s mother say such cruel words?

It’s true, she had already heard Vincent talk about his grandmother.

From what Thomas just said, Vincent’s mother probably didn’t like Vincent.

Lyana’s frown deepened.

She still remembered that Vincent was afraid of women. If so, was his illness related to his mother?

Seeing Lyana frown, Thomas realizes he said the wrong thing. He hastened to say cautiously:

– Madame, can you not talk about it in front of the Second Young Master? If the second young master finds out that I talked about his mother, he will certainly be angry. I’m afraid I’m in an even worse state.

Lyana nodded.

Lyana asked curiously:

– What kind of person is his mother?

Thomas looked a little troubled. He pursed his lips and said:

– I can’t discuss this behind his back. You’ll find out when she comes to the Sanchez family in the future.

Hearing Thomas’s words, Lyana said nothing else.

Thomas had never lied. From what Thomas said, the entire Sanchez family knew where he was.

If Vincent hadn’t come to An City before, that meant the man of that night wasn’t him.

When she realized this, she felt a strange sense of loss.

But soon, Lyana breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it wasn’t Vincent.

She didn’t want to be Vincent’s enemy.

At that thought, Lyana couldn’t help but laugh.

She must have been stupid just now. Otherwise, why would she have suspected Vincent? Vincent was afraid of women.

Hearing Thomas’s words, Lyana realized that she didn’t know her husband, Vincent, at all.

She didn’t understand Vincent’s past, his family, or why he had become like this.

There was also something particularly odd. If it had been any other wealthy family, the man’s parents would have come out to meet the woman.

However, after her marriage to the Sanchez family, she did not see the existence of Vincent’s parents. It was as if they didn’t exist at all.

If Vincent’s parents were already dead, it would certainly have been reported in the news.

But now Vincent’s parents seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

When they got out of the elevator, Lyana couldn’t help but ask:NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

– I’ve been here so long, but why haven’t I seen Vincent’s parents? Could they live in Qin City?

When Thomas heard Lyana’s question, he frowned. He didn’t know how to explain the complicated relationship between the Sanchez family and Lyana. He could therefore only warn him:

– Second Young Lady, don’t mention them in front of the Second Young Master in the future. The second young master does not like them.

Seeing that Thomas’ expression had changed, Lyana responded weakly, suppressing her curiosity.

– Yes.

Although Lyana had already agreed not to ask him, she was still very curious.

Thomas looked at Lyana’s pensive expression. Worried that Lyana would ask him anyway, he tried to persuade her again.

– Madam, you just need to know that the young master suffered a lot in the past. Do not ask these questions in front of him. If he wants to tell you, he will tell you.

Lyana knew Thomas wouldn’t say much, so she nodded.

– Alright, don’t worry. I won’t ask for anything more.

– THANKS.

Thomas heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lyana would keep asking.

After sending Lyana to the hotel, Thomas called in some bodyguards to guard her. After making the necessary arrangements, he returned to the hospital.

After washing up, Lyana went to bed.

His mind was filled with what Thomas had just said. She frowned and couldn’t help but sigh.

Then she thought of William, who was still lying in his hospital bed. She hoped that William would recover soon.

All day, Lyana has been tense. Now that she was lying in her bed, the weight on her body had been lifted. She instantly felt much more relaxed.

However, she hadn’t even slept for half an hour when her phone rang.

Stunned, she picked up her phone without verifying the caller ID.

– Hello ? she mumbled.

She was still half asleep. His voice was soft and lazy.

– Ines has disappeared.

When Lyana heard the male voice coming from the phone, she instantly woke up.

Was it actually Nathan Dubois?

It was amazing. Nathan was usually old fashioned, but now he looked restless.
