A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

She had never mentioned it to Vincent.

She had asked Vincent not to hide anything from her, but she had hidden a lot of things.

She couldn’t even be honest with herself, so how could she ask Vincent to treat her like that?

If she and Vincent were really husband and wife, she would certainly have asked Vincent to be loyal to her and not hide anything from her.

Of course, she would also say everything that happened to her.

However, she wasn’t ready to be honest with him yet.

It looks like Vincent wasn’t ready either.

The current Vincent loved him, but not deeply. Perhaps it was because she was the doctor who best understood her condition that Vincent treated her differently.

Even though they didn’t talk about their relationship, she had to find out Lucas’ identity.

Although Lucas was not her child, she sincerely considered him hers.

After thinking it over, Lyana looked up at Vincent with a smile and said:

– You’re right. Each of us has our own secrets. I think Julie is indeed trying to sow discord between us.

By then, Vincent’s lips were tight and he was staring unflinchingly at Lyana, as if considering what Lyana had said. After a long time he said:

“Is that really what you think?”

Lyana nodded obediently.

– Whether…

Vincent hesitated for a moment, his dark eyes darkening.

“If there’s something I haven’t told you, what will you do?”

Seeing Vincent’s expression, Lyana roughly understood what he was saying. She smiled softly.

“You just told me not to trust anyone. Everyone has secrets, right?

He looked seriously into Lyana’s eyes. His eyebrows furrowed more and more, and his voice was low and hoarse.

– But…

As Lyana drove, her mind was filled with the paternity test report Julie had given her.

Although she thought it was Vincent’s private matter, she felt a little uneasy.

Was she a third party?

If she was a third party, wouldn’t she have interfered in the relationship between Vincent and Lucas’ mother?

At that moment, she remembered Vincent’s words.

Vincent had said that Lucas’ mother had disappeared and was nowhere to be found, no matter what.

Lyana frowned. Did Lucas’ mother leave on her own?

Lyana is confused. When she arrived at the paternity testing center, she handed the object to Doctor Li and asked him to compare this sample with Lucas’s.

Right now, in the Sanchez family villa.

Vincent received a call from Thomas.

– Second Young Master, Second Young Madam went straight to the paternity testing center.

Vincent sat down in front of the desk, his hand tapping lightly on the table. He couldn’t help but remember the night he had been framed five years ago.

He remembered Lyana’s look when she left just now.

He heaved a slight sigh and said:

– I understand. Come back.

At the time, Lyana sat uncomfortably in a chair, awaiting the results of the paternity test.

Since she was particularly close to Doctor Li, she could get the paternity test results earlier.

After a while, Doctor Li handed the report to Lyana.

– The owner of this hair is Lucas’ father.

Doctor Li said calmly.

Although she already knew the answer, her expression still changed when she saw the report with her own eyes.

She nodded and thanked him. As she was about to leave, she turned to Doctor Li and said:

“By the way, you don’t need to help me find my family anymore.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Doctor Li’s eyes lit up.

“Have you found your family?”

Lyana smiles and nods. At the thought that her three brothers were all very sweet to her, her lips involuntarily curled.

Lyana came out of the paternity test center. She folded up the report and put it in her bag.

Facing Doctor Li, although she looked calm, her mood instantly plummeted when she walked to the underground parking lot.

Logic told him that even if Vincent was Lucas’ biological father, that could only mean that Vincent was hiding the truth from him.

Who hasn’t had an unspeakable past?

But she was still very upset.

His mind was in a mess. His rationality and his emotions collided. She had to think about how to face Vincent and Lucas in the future.

After Lyana left, Doctor Li picked up her phone and called Vincent.

Doctor Li thought Second Young Master Sanchez would take a while to respond to his call, but he didn’t expect him to respond instantly.

He was amazed. In fact, he hadn’t found an excuse yet.

“How is she now?”

Young Petty Officer Sanchez’s cold voice came through the phone.

“I already gave the real report to the Second Young Lady. She doesn’t look well.

Doctor Li thought for a moment and continued:

“When she mentioned reuniting with her family, her expression improved a little.

After a long moment, just when Doctor Li thought Second Young Master Sanchez had hung up, Second Young Master Sanchez’s slightly hoarse voice came through the phone.

– I got it.

Doctor Li frowned. He could hear the disappointment in the words of the second young master Sanchez. After reflection, he gathered his courage and asked:

“Second Young Master, in fact, you can choose to hide this matter. Why did you let the second young lady know?

When he had just finished his question, he realized that he had already hung up.

At that time, in the villa of the Sanchez family.

He had lied to Lyana on purpose.

He still remembers what Lyana told him when he found out she knew Lucas.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a cruel friend.

“He’s a boy, but his father doesn’t care about him at all. He always thought his father liked girls and even wore girls’ clothes especially. It’s just too much. If that’s not heartless, what is?

“What’s the name of your heartless friend?”

…

Vincent still clearly remembers Lyana’s indignant expression.

He rubbed his temples in frustration and walked to the window, staring sadly outside.

After a while, he saw Lyana’s car coming back.

Her heart skipped a beat.

He knew what was going to happen and couldn’t help but be nervous. Without hesitation, he descended.

Lyana parked the car in the garage, frowning. She didn’t know how to deal with Vincent.

Along the way, she tried her best to persuade herself to stay rational. Even after returning to the Sanchez residence, her heart was still in a mess.

After sitting in the car for a while, she got out.

She had just come out of the garage when a young voice sounded from the side.

– Aunt.

Lyana was slightly surprised. She looked up and saw Lucas running around happily.

He ran up to her. After stopping, he looked at Lyana, then took a candy out of the small bag he was carrying and held it with both hands in front of Lyana.

– Auntie, there you go.

Lyana’s worried heart gradually calmed down. She felt like she was enveloped in warmth. His whole body was warm and extremely comfortable.

She leaned over slightly and took the candy from Lucas. Smiling, she said,

“Thank you, Lucas.

When Lucas heard Lyana’s words, a bright smile appeared on his face. His voice was relaxed and happy.

– Grandma gave me so many sweets. I had to give one to my aunt.

When Matriarch Sanchez, who had approached, heard Lucas’ words, a loving smile appeared on her face. She congratulated herself:

– I gave him a lot of sweets. He said you liked strawberry candies, so he took them on his own. As soon as he saw you coming back, he couldn’t wait to get you.

When Lyana heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. She forced a smile and gently patted Lucas on the head.

After placing the candy in her mouth, Lyana instantly felt a sweetness in her mouth, completely driving the fear and unease from her heart.
