A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana rubbed her eyes and said carelessly:

“What does his disappearance have to do with me?”

Nathan wasn’t surprised by Lyana’s attitude, because Lyana didn’t like Ines to begin with.

– The night I arrived at MY, I told her about the fight she had with you. She may have been a little harsh, but she said she wanted to go home on her own. But I had someone check the plane tickets and couldn’t find any record of her purchase. Mom and dad also said she didn’t come home.

MY was a dangerous place. With the personality of Ines, what would happen if something happened to her on the outside?

Lyana grew impatient.

– It has nothing to do with me. Why are you calling me ?

– Lyana, can you help me find her?

When Lyana heard Nathan’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh. She asked :

– Nathan Dubois, have you lost your mind? Logically, I should be happy that Ines has disappeared. Why should I help you find her?

Nathan didn’t speak, but Lyana could still hear his rapid, nervous breathing through the phone.

It seemed like Nathan was really worried about Ines.

It made sense. He may have been cold, but he was a good brother. He had worried about her like this before.

Only this time.

“Y-you really want her gone?”

The man’s voice sounded cautious.

Lyana’s eyes instantly turned cold. After a few seconds of silence, she asked:

– You think I kidnapped Ines?

– I’m sorry…

Hearing Nathan’s words, Lyana knew he had admitted it.

The more Lyana thought about it, the more ridiculous she found it. She grimaced coldly and said:

– Although I particularly hate Ines, I will not be like your family and will not play tricks on her back. I will only openly trample her. Don’t think everyone is as dirty as your family.

Nathan’s grip on the phone involuntarily tightened.

In fact, when Lyana fell silent, he had already regretted asking that question.

Lyana had never been one to play tricks on people’s backs. He had known her personality for a long time, but he had lost his rationality because of Ines.

– Sorry,” Nathan said and hung up.

Lyana put her phone aside and smiled coldly.

When she was young, she was just too naive. She really thought Nathan was going to protect her.

It was ridiculous.

Although she had only slept for a few moments, she felt much better now. She cleaned herself up briefly and went to the hospital.

At this time, in the service.

Vincent and Thomas were talking. When Lyana walked in, they both looked at her.

As soon as Lyana walked in, she noticed the tiredness on Vincent’s face. Frowning slightly, she approached him and said softly:

– You didn’t sleep last night. How do you feel ?

Vincent’s hand, which was playing with his ring, stopped slightly. He hadn’t planned that he would be the first person Lyana cared about.

Vincent’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face. His thin lips curled slightly and he said softly:

– I feel pretty good.

Lyana was left speechless.

She didn’t know if Vincent was praising her attitude or if he was referring to the feeling of not having slept last night.

Lyana’s heart skipped a beat, and her face warmed slightly. She silently looked away.

She wanted to understand William’s physical state today. If his body was still okay, they could meet today.

Thinking about that, Lyana’s gaze landed on William’s face. She asked Vincent.

“Did he wake up after I left?”

Vincent shook his head.

When Lyana heard that, she frowned slightly. It seemed that William’s body was still very weak.

Lyana’s gaze fell on William’s face. Her face was pale, and her lips were pale. He looked listless.

She looked away and sat down next to Vincent. She put the box she was holding in her hand on the nearby table.

– I brought breakfast for you and Thomas. Eat it while it’s hot.

When Thomas, who was standing guard at the side, heard Lyana’s words, he was flattered. He hadn’t expected his breakfast to be served to him.

Lyana handed her breakfast to Thomas. Thomas hastened to take it.

Vincent’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face. He asked softly:

– You ate breakfast ?

– Yes.

After breakfast, William still hasn’t woken up.

Lyana couldn’t help but frown in concern. But come to think of it, William was so badly injured that it was normal for him to be unconscious.

At that moment, Lyana’s phone suddenly rang.

He broke the silence of the room.

Lyana quickly pulled out her phone and turned the volume down before heading out.

If the call came from Nathan and she didn’t answer, he could keep calling.

When Lyana came out, she saw it was Nathan.

She stayed in the hallway before answering.

– Tell me, what else do you want?

Lyana asked coldly.

There was a pause on the other end of the line, and then Nathan said:

– I found Ines. She’s in the warehouse in our back yard.

Lyana was slightly surprised by Nathan’s words. Perplexed, she asked:

– When did she come back?

When Nathan had called her earlier, she had thought that Ines was still at MY.

– She herself doesn’t know what’s going on.

Although Lyana was a little puzzled, on second thought, this case had nothing to do with her. She didn’t bother to ask for more. She said coldly:

– Since she’s already home, don’t ever call me again.

Nathan’s voice, originally old fashioned and stern, instantly softened. He said softly,

– Lia, I’m really sorry. I was a bit anxious before.

When Lyana heard Nathan’s words, her eyebrows raised. She hated that form of address, and her voice became even colder.

– I’ve told you before that I don’t like this form of address very much. Don’t ever call me that again.

A silence fell on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and Nathan didn’t insist any longer. He said :

– Ines said that the first night of MY, she saw someone enter your room, but she did not see the face of this person. However, she didn’t expect anyone to knock her out. When she woke up, she was already at home. I think the person who knocked her out might be your family. It’s a bit chaotic there. I think if it’s possible you can check and see if the other party is friend or foe.

Lyana’s eyes were filled with confusion when she heard Nathan’s words. She asked :

– Is there anything else?

– She said she wanted to take a picture of you with that man and send it to Vincent.

Lyana was slightly taken aback. This man must have been Vincent.

In fact, Ines did not recognize Vincent. Was Ines wrong?Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

It didn’t matter that Ines saw it wrong, it was indeed shameful for her to want to secretly take pictures of her.

Moreover, it was not she who had fired Ines.

However, Nathan’s words made Lyana realize that someone had helped her that night.

If this person was Matheo Harris, he would have tied Ines in front of her and let her do what she wanted with her instead of sending her away quietly.

Lyana pulled back and pursed her lips.

– If there is nothing else, I hang up.

– Yes.

Lyana hung up the phone and frowned. Apart from Matheo Harris, who else could help him?
