A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana stood in front of Claire, her gaze cold. It was as if she had seen a disgusting cockroach.

Lyana’s undisguised disdain was driving Claire crazy. With a look of displeasure, she chided.

“How dare you look at me like that?” Who do you think you are?

Bam.

The crisp slap echoes down the hall.

Lyana’s slap landed hard on Claire’s face.

At that time, Claire had been punched by Lyana. She felt a burning sensation on her face, and the pain was unbearable.

Claire turned around sharply and looked at Lyana in disbelief. She said fiercely:

– Lyana Dubois, how dare you hit me? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be like this now. You clearly owe me something.

Boom!

Another resounding slap!

Farah was amazed. She didn’t dare take a step forward to pull Lyana away.

Claire’s mind was a bit clouded by the beatings she had received. His ears were ringing and fingerprints were clearly showing on his face.

William, who was lying on the hospital bed, was staring at Lyana’s back. At this moment, her hands were clenched into fists, shaking slightly, and she gave off a murderous aura.

William’s eyes darkened. For some reason, he felt like Lyana was attacking Claire because of him.

Claire finally came to her senses. She covered her face, her eyes red with anger.

– Who do you think you are? How dare you hit me?

Bam!

Another sharp slap.

Claire rolls her eyes and nearly faints. She collapsed in the wheelchair and gasped heavily.

Lyana’s hand hurt a little too. She looked at Claire’s pitiful state and said coldly:

– I was going to settle accounts with you, but now you’re knocking on my door. If you hadn’t done those dirty things, William wouldn’t have been killed. He would not have stayed in the operating room for six hours and would not have come close to losing his life. Claire Silva, how dare you come in here and scream?

William’s dark eyes moved slightly. Her thin lips pursed into a pale line.

It really wasn’t an illusion.

When Farah heard Lyana’s words, she was stunned.

Both Lyana and Claire seemed to be telling the truth. Lyana was particularly angry and she seemed to be angry because William was hurt. Claire seemed to be angry because she was outraged.

At that time, Farah didn’t know who to believe.

Since she couldn’t understand, she didn’t bother to think about it. The grudges of a wealthy family were not something a young nurse like her could understand.

Claire gritted her teeth and said:

– Lyana, I’m hurt now and I can’t hit you. Let me tell you that you will definitely regret it in the future.

Lyana’s fox eyes narrowed coldly. She grabbed Claire’s chin and tightened her grip. Her eyes were filled with killing intent and she said coldly:NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

– I already hit you lightly. Even if I kill you now, what can you do?

Claire was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. She looked at Lyana anxiously.

Seeing Claire like this, Lyana frowned and shook her.

– Clear.

Farah didn’t dare stay here any longer and hurriedly pushed Claire away.

Lyana closed the door behind her.

She was in no mood to deal with Claire now. When they reached An City, she would certainly not be tender.

– Does your hand hurt?

William’s cold voice came from the side.

When Lyana heard William’s voice, the killing intent in her eyes instantly disappeared. She turned around and smiled slightly.

– I’m doing well.

– Why don’t you use your foot next time?

Lyana was slightly taken aback. His lips curled into a smile.

William could therefore also joke.

Lyana nodded.

– OK.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

William recovered very quickly. He could already get out of bed and move around. His expression was much better than before.

Doctor Sha’s office.

Lyana watched William’s report.

According to the report, the wounds around William’s heart had already healed. All he had to do was recover slowly.

Lyana’s worried heart finally relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief,

-It’s awesome. It’s finally healed.

Doctor Sha nodded, and the tension in his heart gradually eased. William’s condition had stabilized, and his life would no longer be in danger.

Lyana pursed her lips and said:

– You can give me the paternity test now.

Doctor Sha took it out of the trunk and handed it to Lyana.

Lyana took the report, her eyes filled with impatience. After a long time, she asked:

– Could you do me a favor ?

– Yes.

– There are three hours left before 9 p. m. I want you to take my brother to the back yard of the hospital by then. I want to surprise him.

Doctor Sha smiled.

– It would be an honor for me to attend your reunion with your brother.

Lyana smiled and said,

– THANKS.

8:50 p. m.

Doctor Sha personally applied the medicine and bandaged William’s wound. His expression was serious and he said:

– Mr. Royer, the bullet caused a lot of damage to the area around your skin this time. Fortunately, you recovered well and there was no infection. However, there will be a scar here in the future.

When William heard Doctor Sha say this, he looked indifferent.

– I’m still alive. This wound is nothing.

When Doctor Sha heard William say that, he smiled and said,

– So I’m relieved.

William’s gaze landed on the door of the room. His eyes narrowed slightly. Lyana hadn’t come since the evening.

William asked casually,

– Where did Doctor Dubois go?

When Doctor Sha heard William say this, he sighed and said:

– Doctor Dubois watched you in the room during this period. I saw that she didn’t look very well, so I let her go back to the hotel to rest first.

Hearing Doctor Sha’s words, William recalled how Lyana slept by his bed that morning. Her eyes were dark and she looked haggard.

In fact, he had asked Lyana to go back to the hotel to rest this morning, but she only smiled and didn’t accept.

During this period, Lyana took care of him. He was very grateful to her.

Doctor Sha glanced at the watch he wore on his wrist. It was almost time for his date with Lyana.

– Mr. Royer, you should exercise more now. Why don’t I go out with you for a walk and tell you some things to write down later so there are no repercussions?

William didn’t give the matter too much thought. He nodded and said:

– Thank you, Doctor Sha.

– It’s nothing but my duty.

Doctor Sha moved to William’s right and prepared to support him.

However, William very politely rejected it.

– I feel better now, Doctor Sha. You don’t need to hold me.

Doctor Sha nodded.

– It’s good that you can move on your own.

Then the two walked out of the room side by side. After entering the elevator, Doctor Sha became involuntarily nervous.

He was a little worried that William could see he was nervous and didn’t mention it directly.

As they descended, a cooling breeze blew across their faces. It was mixed with the scent of flowers and made them happy!

William had been lying in the room for a long time. Now that he felt the aura of nature, he felt much more relaxed.

– Doctor Sha.

– Yes ?

– How are Claire Silva’s injuries now?

William asked calmly.

Doctor Sha couldn’t tell if William was worried about Claire or had other thoughts, so he answered truthfully:

– Miss Claire’s uterus was badly injured, so we can only remove her uterus. She’s fine, but the only bad thing is that she won’t be able to be a mother anymore.
