A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana continued:

– If the jadeite does not undergo any change, it can only mean one thing. The soul of the dead wanders the world. She was never at peace.

Lyana asked:

– Do you believe in these things?

When Lyana first heard about this, she was stunned. Although she was in awe of reincarnation, there was no scientific basis for it yet. For her, it was just a fantasy.

When William heard Lyana’s words, a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

– It’s just a form of comfort for the living.

Just like Lyana had thought, he didn’t believe in reincarnation. He only wanted the Moon Goddess because he missed his sister.

Lyana calmly looked at William. After a while she said,

– Did you ever think your sister wasn’t really dead?

William’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face, and her breathing quickened. Her hands gripped the bed sheets tightly. After a long time, when he calmed down, he asked:Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

– Why do you think she’s not dead?

Lyana replied calmly:

– Miss Royer’s body has not been found, has it?

At that moment, Lyana’s heart involuntarily tensed up, and her breathing became cautious.

This answer was very important to Lyana.

Since the corpse of the eldest daughter of the Royer family had not been found, this meant that she was most likely alive. But why didn’t the Royer family continue to look for her?

– Actually, I found part of it.

Hearing William’s words, Lyana was slightly taken aback. She asked in disbelief,

– What do you mean by part?

Seeing Lyana’s pale face, confusion flashed in William’s eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure.

Why did he get the impression that Lyana seemed particularly concerned about her sister’s death?

Lyana frowned slightly and said:

– Could it be that she was dismembered…?

William nodded in pain. This case was very heavy for him. He didn’t want to remember this subject for the rest of his life.

If it hadn’t been for hard evidence, he wouldn’t have believed that his sweet, clingy sister had just died.

– How can you be sure that this part of the body belongs to Miss Royer?

When William heard this, his eyes instantly turned red. His eyes were filled with pain, and his temples were throbbing.

He tried to suppress his irritable emotions, but his rapid breathing still revealed his current mood. He was very agitated.

Lyana just wanted to probe. She didn’t expect William’s condition to suddenly turn so bad when she mentioned it.

Lyana was a little worried about William. If William continued like this, it was very likely that he would tear the wound. William’s wound was close to his heart. If he got emotional, the consequences would be unimaginable.

– Don’t think about that for now…

Lyana rushed to comfort him.

– At the time, the police deployed all their forces, but they only found a section of my sister’s forearm. And after a forensic paternity test, it was completely confirmed that the arm belonged to my sister.

When Lyana heard this, she gasped. She felt like there was a thick fog in front of her, and she couldn’t dispel it no matter what.

If Lyana hadn’t taken William and herself’s hair samples for a paternity test, she would never have guessed that she was the eldest daughter of the Royer family.

Why have we come to this?

At the time, the medical examiner had confirmed that the arm belonged to the eldest daughter of the Royer family, but her arm was intact.

If she hadn’t been born on the same day as Miss Royer, and if she hadn’t taken the paternity test, she might have thought Miss Royer was already dead.

Therefore, it could only mean one thing. This arm belonged to someone else.

Who could have done such a thing? Using their powers to tamper with a paternity test?

All of this could only be slowly considered after returning to An City.

If the incident had been staged, there would be traces of evidence.

William sat there, watching Lyana’s pensive expression. Perplexed, he asked:

“Why did you suddenly ask about my sister?”

Hearing William’s question, Lyana’s heart constricted in her throat.

If she told William the truth, her body might not resist it and her life would be in danger.

Even though Lyana really wanted to find William as soon as possible, she didn’t want to hurt him.

However, she wanted to use the principle of boiling a frog with hot water to slowly reveal to William the truth about the eldest daughter of the Royer family. With a sincere expression, she said:

– Don’t you want to know your sister’s current condition? I’ll let you know when your condition has stabilized.

Hearing Lyana’s words, William frowned. He stared at Lyana without blinking, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Could it be that Lyana already planned to give him the Moon Goddess?

At this thought, William’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. Then, the next moment, his wound was ripped out and he could barely breathe from the pain.

William subconsciously wanted to cover his chest with his hand. The moment he placed his hand on his chest, pain instantly assaulted him. He nearly fainted from the pain.

William’s breathing was heavy.

Seeing William in this state, Lyana rushed over to him and gently stroked his back. She comforted him saying

– Don’t get agitated. Breathe slowly. Breathe gently. Don’t be anxious. That’s it, that’s it…

After Lyana’s comfort, William’s breathing gradually became softer. Her pounding heart gradually calmed down, and the pain instantly lessened.

Bang!

There was a sudden crash as the door to the room was forced open.

A sharp female voice responded instantly.

– What are you two doing?

Hearing that sound, Lyana turned around and saw Claire in the wheelchair, who was looking at her resentfully.

Seeing Lyana and William’s calm, Claire was slightly taken aback. From Lyana’s voice just now, she thought Lyana had eaten William.

Claire took a deep breath. It seemed that she had misunderstood the two.

But then what?

Lyana, that shameless bitch, was almost pressed against William.

The more Claire thought about it, the angrier she got. She growled angrily,

– Lyana Dubois, do you still have the slightest feeling of shame? Before, you and Vincent were very intimate. Now you are harassing William. Do you really think the world revolves around you? Do you think all men should like you?

Lyana didn’t seem to hear Claire’s words. She carefully covered William with the blanket and looked at Claire coldly.

If not for Claire’s appearance, his alone time with his brother would not have been interrupted.

After Lyana finished, her gaze landed on Claire’s face. She approached Claire and looked down at her.

– Are you teaching me a lesson?

Claire looked up at Lyana. When she met Lyana’s cold eyes, her body shook involuntarily.

Standing behind Claire, Farah was also shocked by Lyana’s aura.

Farah silently took a step back and swallowed nervously. If she had known earlier, she would not have brought Claire.

Claire was really too embarrassing. Not only was she uncooperative with his treatment, she was also crying and insisting on coming to see William.

Farah was getting impatient too. Thinking Claire was only concerned about William, she agreed.

However, she didn’t expect that as soon as she reached the door to the room, Claire would be triggered like a cat.
