A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

William nodded and said:

– Okay, I promise you.

In fact, William was also very worried. If he pursued him too closely and the other party sensed him, his sister might be in danger again.

Lyana continued,

– It doesn’t matter that Second Brother and Third Brother discover my identity. However, we must not let anyone else know about it.

It was precisely because the road ahead was unknown and could be full of thorns that she had asked the doctors and nurses to keep it a secret and not want the Royer family to know of her existence. It was also a form of protection for the Royer family.

William nodded.

If they knew Sugar was still alive, they would be very happy, especially Lyam. At that time, he was very fond of Sugar.

After they arrived on the ward, Lyana helped William lay down on the bed and fetched water from the pantry.

When she returned, she poured a glass of water for William and brought it to him.

– Brother, drink some water first.

William took Lyana’s cup. After drinking it, he put the cup on the bedside table.

William watched Lyana busy herself in the ward. His heart warmed up instantly. He still felt like he was dreaming.

Sugar was alive now and she was taking care of him.

William’s throat tightened.

– Sugar.

Lyana was slightly taken aback. She turned to look at William, her beautiful fox eyes curling into a crescent as she smiled sweetly.

– Brother ?

William looked at Lyana fondly and said softly:

– Don’t be busy anymore. Come near me and sit down to rest for a while.

His Sugar was so obedient and cute.

Lyana smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, she liked this nickname her brother gave her. When William called her name, she was indescribably happy.

Lyana moved a small stool and sat down next to William’s bed. She said softly to him:

– Brother, you must rest well now. It’s getting late. You must rest.

William looked at Lyana with a smile in his eyes. He said softly,

– I’m not sleepy yet.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

In fact, William was already getting sleepy, but he didn’t dare to sleep. He was afraid to fall asleep.

If he opened his eyes again and found that it was all a dream and that Sugar was gone again…

He didn’t think he could take the shock.

William stared intently at Lyana. He had never been the kind of person to worry about personal gain and loss. But today, he was really afraid of losing Sugar again.

There were a lot of things he wanted to say to Sugar, but he didn’t know where to start.

His sister must have suffered a lot on the outside.

But he couldn’t bring his sister home immediately.

William sighed silently in his heart.

In fact, Lyana and William felt the same way.

Although she learned about her relationship with William three days ago, for the past few days she has been eagerly waiting for William to get better so she can reunite with him.

After today’s reunion, she felt her soul tremble with excitement. She couldn’t help but fear that this was all a dream. When she woke up, she would be the little girl no one wanted again.

William stared at Lyana’s face. Unknowingly, he remembered how Nathan Dubois had looked at Lyana before. It was a look that only men had when faced with a woman.

William narrowed his eyes and frowned. He asked bluntly:

– Did Nathan Dubois intimidate you?

Lyana naturally understood what William meant. She shook her head gently and said,

– He did not do it.

– There is something wrong with the way he looks at you. It’s like he has feelings for you beyond being siblings, William said bluntly.

Lyana pursed her lips, then nodded and briefly recounted the past.

When she was about six years old, she went to the mountains with her grandfather to pick herbs. He was afraid she was in danger, so he told her to stay where she was and wait.

At that time, she had inadvertently noticed a fig tree on the edge of the cliff.

His grandfather had already told him that figs were rare in the world and that they were particularly precious herbs.

With this thought, she wanted to pick the fig and give it to her grandfather.

At that time, she thought only of figs. She reached out to pick one up and accidentally fell.
