A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Fortunately, Aunt Lyana didn’t love her father now.

This means Aunty Lyana could fall in love with Mom.

With this thought in mind, Lucas’ mood gradually improved. However, he did not know when his mom would return. What if Aunty Lyana falls in love with someone else before her mother returns?

No no. He should think about what he would do if his dad didn’t love his mom.

It wasn’t good either. He wanted to be with Mom and Aunt Lyana forever.

They were the ones he loved the most.

At this idea, Lucas can’t help but mutter:

– Mom, where are you now? Why didn’t you find Lucas? I really miss you now. I want to be with you. I want you to be with Aunt Lyana…

At that moment, Lucas’ phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone. When he saw the caller’s number, the confusion and sadness in his eyes gradually disappeared. Her eyes were filled with joy, and her lips curled slightly.

He quickly took the call and put the phone to his ear. His voice was filled with joy.

– Aunt Ophelia.

An obedient and soft voice came out of the telephone receiver.

– Lucas, how have you been lately?

Lucas sat down quietly and pulled the curtains aside. He leaned into the sunlight and felt its warmth.

– Aunt Ophelia, I’ve been fine lately.

– Lucas, you improved very quickly. You speak more easily than before, Ophelia Harper said softly.

– Lucas has grown up, so my speech has become more fluid.

At that moment, Lucas frowned slightly.

– Aunt Ophelia, it’s been a long time since you called Lucas.

If anyone listened carefully, they would be able to hear a hint of resentment in Lucas’s words. He seemed to act like a spoiled child.

Ophelia was not angry. She continued to explain softly with a smile,

– Lucas, Auntie knows she’s wrong. She has been very busy with her exams recently. Can you not be mad at your aunt?

– Yeah, Lucas isn’t mad, he said, a smile in his eyes.

– Aunt Ophelia, I have been very happy recently.

– Really ? I just want you to be happy. Can you tell me what made Lucas so happy?

Ophelia Harper’s voice was still soft.

– Dad took me home to stay. I will be able to live with dad from now on.

– Really ?

She says happily.

– It’s amazing. Lucas always hoped to live with Mr. Sanchez. Now his wish has been fulfilled.

– Yes, Lucas even met a very good aunt. She is very nice to me, and takes good care of me. I like it a lot too.

At that moment, he thought of Lyana’s face and couldn’t help but smile. He really loved Aunty Lyana.

When Ophelia heard Lucas’ words, she was slightly stunned. Pretending to be happy, she says,

– Is Lucas ready to communicate with the others now?

When he heard Ophelia’s words, his expression gradually became serious. He corrected her.

– Aunt Ophelia, my aunt is not someone else. She is one of us.

– Yes, your aunt said something wrong. Lucas, talk to your aunt more often in the future. That way, I won’t have to worry about you being alone.

On the other end of the line, Ophelia didn’t have the slightest trace of a smile in her eyes. She was frowning, but there was a hint of a smile in her voice.

She thought that Lucas only wanted to communicate with her.

At that time, in addition to communicating with him, Lucas also did not want to communicate with his biological father.

Now that he was ready to treat another woman like family, it was obvious that Lucas really loved this woman.

Ophelia pursed her lips, concern shining in her eyes.

She was really worried about this woman using Lucas. If Lucas was hurt again, she feared he would feel even more alone.

However, she couldn’t say those words directly to Lucas.

– Aunt Ophelia, when you come back, I’ll introduce you to Aunt Lyana, okay?

Lucas didn’t hear the concern in Ophelia’s words and said happily

– Of course, I want to see her too. When the time comes, I’ll have to thank her for taking care of you.

As she spoke, she opened her phone’s calendar and glanced at the time, wondering when she should return home.

Lucas seemed much more alive than before.

She hoped he would always grow up happily.

Previously, when she was with Lucas, he only wanted to talk with her.

When she left, she was still a bit worried that he might lose his ability to communicate with others in the future. That’s why she called him often.

– Aunt Ophelia, when are you coming back?

Lucas couldn’t wait to see her.

In his impression, only Ophelia had treated him best in the past.

When she heard Lucas’ words, her expression darkened slightly. She smiles and says,

– I’ve been a little busy with my studies recently. I’ll call you when I have time, okay?

– OK.

After Lucas hung up, his mood improved even more. When he thought about how Aunty Lyana would always be by his side in the future, his lips involuntarily curled.

Lyana returned to her room. Sitting at her computer, she carefully read information about multiple personalities.

Multiple personalities actually mean that a person has two or more independent personality states. Additionally, these personalities all have their own sense of self and unique personality. Usually, when a person’s personality state changes, they suffer from amnesia.

That’s why every time Vincent changed his personality, he forgot what happened when the other personalities appeared.

It has been said on the internet that multiple personality disorder is usually focused on psychological treatment. Then other drugs were used to help the patient.

In addition, the patient had to trust this doctor enough and establish a very good doctor-patient relationship. Only by actively cooperating with the treatment could he recover faster.

When Lyana saw the last message, she frowned.

It would probably be very difficult for Vincent to establish sufficient trust with a psychiatrist, as he was already very cautious. Also, she heard from her older brother that Vincent didn’t think he was mentally ill at all, let alone that he was ready to see a psychiatrist.

In order to treat Vincent’s illness, Lyana decided to learn psychology herself.

She downloaded some e-books online. While she was studying, there was a knock on the door.

She hastened to close all the web pages she had just browsed. Only then did she look towards the door and say

– Come in.

The door was pushed open. Outside stood the servant who had taken care of Matriarch Sanchez.

– Miss Dubois, Matriarch Sanchez invites you to her office now.

The servant said respectfully.

– Alright I understand. Go for it.

Lyana waited for the servant to leave. After erasing all the contents of the computer, she exited.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

She walked over to Matriarch Sanchez’s office and knocked on the door. – Grandmother.

– Come in.

The voice of Matriarch Sanchez came from inside the room.

Lyana pushed open the door and entered. She saw Matriarch Sanchez sitting on the couch by the patio door.

– Lyana, come sit down.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lyana lovingly.

She walked over and sat next to Matriarch Sanchez.

Matriarch Sanchez grabbed Lyana’s hand and asked her softly:

– Lyana, do you still remember Matriarch Royer?

Lyana’s eyes lit up, but quickly darkened.

How could she not remember?

Matriarch Royer was his biological grandmother. How could she have forgotten him?

Lyana didn’t know why Matriarch Sanchez was mentioning Matriarch Royer again. She nodded and said:

– I remember.

Matriarch Sanchez sighed softly, her eyes filled with sadness. She says softly,

– In a few days, it will be the anniversary of the death of the eldest daughter of the Royer family. Last time she thought the blessing bag you embroidered was very nice, so she wanted you to embroider another blessing bag for that poor girl.

Lyana’s eyes sparkled in embarrassment. She frowns slightly. Before she could speak, she heard Matriarch Sanchez speak again.

– That poor girl has been gone for so many years. I wonder if she reincarnated. How is she now? What a pity.
