A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent glanced at Lucas, who was lying on the bed, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Lucas had no parents to take care of him when he was young. Previously, he had even been roughed up by the nanny and his personality had almost gone astray. If he hadn’t met her by chance, his life could have been ruined by this nanny.

The two people he’s disappointed the most in his life are Lucas and his mother.

Maybe Lucas’ mother’s reluctance to appear had something to do with him. In fact, he wanted to spend his life paying her back, but…

Vincent glanced at Lyana, naturally taking in all the surprise in her eyes. He had a strange feeling.

Before meeting Lyana, he had never thought of remarrying.

But after marrying Lyana, he never thought about getting a divorce again.

Vincent’s eyebrows arched. At that moment there was a knock on the door.

– Take care of him first. I will be back soon.

With that, Vincent walked out.

Lyana watched Vincent leave. For some reason, she sensed something was wrong with Vincent’s expression, like he was holding something back.

Could Vincent be hiding something?

Lyana frowns slightly. She had a vague feeling that what Vincent was hiding could be very important.

He walked out of the room and stood in the hallway. He glanced worriedly at the door, then retracted his gaze and lowered his voice, as if afraid to disturb the sleeping Lucas.

– What’s wrong ?

– There is news from the young elder master.

Thomas lowered his voice and said:

– A year ago, someone saw the young elder master on the streets of MY, but he was far away. There was only one photo.

With that, Thomas showed Vincent the picture on his phone.

Vincent’s long eyelashes drooped. When he saw the two blurred figures in the photo, he immediately recognized that the man in the white shirt was the senior young master of the Sanchez family, his older brother.

– Any other news?

Vincent asked calmly.

This photo could only mean that the person was still alive a year ago. That didn’t mean he was still alive now.

– No. Last year, MY was in turmoil. I wonder if the young elder master is gone,

Thomas said cautiously, fearing that Vincent would be angry.

– Continue your investigation.

With that, Vincent turned to push the door open. The moment he put his hand on the doorknob, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Thomas.

– Investigate carefully. Don’t tell the old lady yet.

Thomas nodded.

Vincent returned to the bedroom and saw Lyana staring at him. He looked away indifferently and his gaze settled on Lucas’s face.

– Thank you for taking care of him this time.

– I love her so much. Taking care of him is child’s play.

Lyana thought Lucas might be disappointed that he hadn’t found his mom after waking up, so she wanted to ask Vincent for more clues.

– Do you have any clues about his mother? I can help find her. Unity is strength. Maybe we can find her sooner.

Vincent paused for a moment. He couldn’t let Lyana know what happened that night.

Also, he didn’t know anything about Lucas’ mother.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

– No.

– What ?

Lyana was slightly stunned.

– There are no clues or information.

Lyana was stunned. How could a living person who had given birth disappear without a trace?

– So did you ask Lucas’ father? He shouldn’t know anything about the person he slept with, right?

– He doesn’t know anything either.

– This…

Lyana suddenly thought of something. She looked up at Vincent and nodded.

– I understand. She bought sperm, didn’t she?

Vincent thought, “Was he so poor?”

Lyana continued:

– If she bought sperm, he really might not know anything about the woman. The hospital didn’t log the woman’s information?

Vincent was left speechless.

Lyana seemed to have thought of something. She gasped and asked:

– Don’t tell me she’s using a false identity.

The more Lyana thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. It’s as if small hospitals don’t verify a person’s identity at all. She pursed her lips and sighed.

– So she gave the child to Lucas’ father right after giving birth to him?

She noticed that Vincent’s expression was getting uglier and uglier. She sighed helplessly.

– Could it be…

– There is no information or news.

Vincent interrupted Lyana’s thoughts and said indifferently:

– You’re a bit talkative today. Why don’t you go back to rest?

Vincent looked at Lucas, who was lying on the bed. He wanted to spend time with Lucas.

Lyana pursed her lips and said:

– Can I stay with him for a while?

Lyana looked at Lucas’ face. At that moment, there was a smile on his face that wasn’t usually there. It looked like he was having a beautiful dream.

Or maybe he had found his mom in his dream.

Lyana felt a lump in her throat. She reached out to cover Lucas with the blanket.

If he woke up and found he still hadn’t found his mother, how sad would he be?

At this thought, his heart involuntarily sank.

The Sanchez family was very knowledgeable. Neither Vincent nor Lucas’ father had found Lucas’ mother, which meant one thing.

First, someone had deliberately hidden Lucas’ mother and didn’t want anyone to find her.

Second, Lucas’ mother had the ability to hide from others.

Anyway, this news was not good news for Lucas.

Lyana thought that someone with the ability to erase a pregnant woman’s past was definitely no ordinary person.

Lyana pulled out her phone and texted Old A.

– Investigate a woman who abandoned her child before marriage. Moreover, the father of the child does not know that the woman gave birth.

When Old A saw this message, he was stunned. Why was that sentence so long and winding?

– Are you looking for a woman who secretly gave birth to a man’s child?

– Yes, the child must be about five years old.

– Okay, I’ll go investigate.

After Lyana finished contacting Old A, she sent another message to the director of the assessment institute.

– Has anyone compared the child’s DNA samples I sent earlier with theirs?

– Half an hour ago a lady brought in a sample for comparison.

At that moment, Lyana’s eyelids twitched. Her heart skipped a beat in her throat. She hastened to ask:

– Who is this ?

– I am really sorry. It is not practical for us to reveal the identity of the parents now.

In this world, coincidences did not exist. The person who would compare the sample to this child at that time had to be a relative.

Previously, Julie had provoked her and said nonsense. Could it be Julie?

With that thought in mind, Lyana found Julie’s photo on her phone and sent it. She asked :

– It’s her ? Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone what you told me.

His interlocutor hesitated a moment before answering in the affirmative.

After Lyana read the message, her face darkened. Her eyes were filled with anger, and she wished she had slapped Julie a few more times.

However, how did Julie know Lucas’ DNA was there?

Could it be that Julie followed Vincent before, and that Vincent also placed Lucas’ DNA sample in this lab for testing?

It’s logic. This DNA lab was the biggest in the town of An. How could someone like Vincent find a crummy lab to do a DNA test on Lucas?

It seemed Julie thought Lucas was Vincent’s illegitimate son. She had therefore returned to the villa this time to obtain evidence before going to the assessment office to verify her suspicions.

If she hadn’t asked Vincent today, she might have fallen into Julie’s trap.

For some reason, Julie’s voice suddenly rang in her ears.

– What do you think people will think if they find out you have an illegitimate child?
