A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

He really hoped the second young lady hadn’t filed them away. However, the young Madame had placed him last. Apparently, the second young lady seemed to differentiate them by the closeness she had with them.

Thomas no longer dared to look at the expression of the Second Young Master.

He quickly lowered his head and helped the second young lady set up all the dishes. His gaze scanned the dishes. Today’s dishes were quite sumptuous.

In order to avoid any further physical contact between the second young Madame and Mr. Royer, Thomas quickly walked over to the ward bed and carefully helped William out of bed.

Then, he got Mr. Royer to sit on the sofa with enthusiasm.

Lyana naturally sensed the tension between Vincent and William. In order to avoid a fight, she sat next to Vincent.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Thomas sat down next to William.

The four of them were now seated face to face.

Vincent faced William while Lyana faced Thomas.

The scene was much calmer than before.

Vincent calmly picked up Lyana’s bowl and helped her get a bowl of soup before giving it to her.

Although it was just a small gesture, it still stunned Lyana for a long time.

In Lyana’s memory, this was the first time Vincent served her soup.

Vincent’s gaze fell on William’s face and he asked:

– Brother William, do you want some soup?

Vincent’s voice was low and hoarse, it was impossible to make out the emotions in his tone.

William didn’t want to disturb the others, but seeing that Vincent had just personally served soup to his sister, his expression softened. He said,

– I’ll do it myself.

Of course, Vincent didn’t do a ceremony with William.

The meal was quite harmonious.

However, Vincent had just discovered a detail. There was no ginger in all the dishes and the soup.

In his memory, William never ate ginger. Lyana had ordered this meal.

Vincent’s gaze swept across Lyana’s face. She seemed to take better care of people than he had imagined.

For a moment, Vincent fell into deep thought.

Lyana saw that Vincent had been sitting there the whole time, not taking dishes but eating rice. She frowned slightly, then took a piece of pork chop and placed it in Vincent’s bowl.

– Vincent, you and Brother William are both injured and need to recover. You two can’t eat spicy and stimulating food, so I specially asked the restaurant not to put ginger and chili in our food. These dishes may not be as good as before, but you must eat them to take care of your bodies.

Vincent’s gaze fell on the beef in the bowl. The cold on his body gradually dissipated, as if a warm light shone on him and made him feel comfortable.

He had misunderstood.

He thought Lyana didn’t want to wear ginger because of William’s preferences.

Lyana tilted her head slightly and said:

– Eat.

– Yes.

At this moment, Thomas felt the atmosphere in the room instantly calm down, and his tense heart also relaxed.

After dinner, Vincent poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. His gaze fell on Lyana’s face and he said:

– Grandma just called to tell me she missed you. She even asked when we would be home.

Thomas stood aside, obediently. He knew everything, but he didn’t want to say it.

When Vincent mentioned Matriarch Sanchez, Lyana’s heart warmed instantly. He missed Matriarch Sanchez.

She had come to MY to help Matriarch Sanchez get the Moon Goddess, but she didn’t expect so much to happen in the meantime. Also, she had never given the Moon Goddess to Matriarch Sanchez.

Now Julie has been kicked out of the Sanchez family. Although Laura was still in the Sanchez family, she was a rather liberal person and was preparing to go abroad.

She and Vincent did not return. Matriarch Sanchez must be feeling very alone right now.

– Does Grandmother know what happened here?

Lyana looked at Vincent and asked.

Vincent shook his head and said,

– I did not tell her.

– It’s good.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want Matriarch Sanchez to know what had happened to her.

Matriarch Sanchez was old and couldn’t stand being restless.

Vincent’s thin lips curled slightly and he said happily:

– After receiving the call from Grandma, I have already organized a flight in the afternoon. Once Brother William is out of the hospital, we can go straight to the airport. There will be medical personnel along the way. After reaching An City, we will help Brother William settle in and return home.

Hearing Vincent’s words, Lyana nodded. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.

– All right.

She seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help asking:

– Is the Royer family aware of the situation here?

Vincent’s gaze fell on William’s face and he said calmly:

– This is the business of Brother William’s family. It is not appropriate for me to say anything.

Hearing Vincent’s words, Lyana nodded, still a little worried.

She wondered if the Royer family would blame her if they learned that her brother had been so seriously injured through her fault.

William seemed to understand Lyana’s thoughts. He comforted her:

– My injury this time has nothing to do with you. Besides, Claire’s death has nothing to do with you. It all happened because she was negligent. I won’t let my family make it difficult for you.

Lyana understood what William meant and gave a slight nod.

At that time, Doctor Sha entered from the outside. He walked up to William and gave him instructions on some things to consider before issuing a clearance certificate.

Thomas and Eddy also helped with packing.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally going back to An City. She had lived in fear all day.

At that thought, Lyana thought of Alexander Walker and what she had promised him.

However, it was not the right time to discuss Alexander’s younger brother with his brother. These things could be discussed later.

Lyana took out her phone, opened WeChat and messaged Matheo Harris.

– Find a way to tell Alexander Walker that I am back home now. Tell him not to worry. I will certainly do what I promised him. Tell him to wait for me patiently.

Matheo Harris responded quickly.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“What did you promise this madman?”

– Something about his brother.

Matheo Harris quickly sent a very unhappy emoticon before typing a series of words.

– You know his younger brother is his backline? Don’t rub it the wrong way! If you provoke his little brother, have you ever thought about the consequences? You have always thought well before. Why are you so thoughtless this time?

If this had happened in the past, she would certainly have replied to Matheo: “It’s none of your business.” However, he had helped her and her brother this time, so Lyana was more patient than d ‘habit.

– This case is related to William. I have to get involved.

Matheo Harris remembered his people’s account of what had happened that night. You could say it was a moving experience. Even as a listener, he still had lingering fears. If things hadn’t been handled properly that night, he would have to deal with things again in MY.

He frowned and asked:

– Have you ever fallen in love with William Royer?

Lyana was speechless and rolled her eyes silently. She couldn’t help but reply:

– It’s not your business.

After sending the message, Lyana ignored Matheo Harris.

Just as Lyana was about to turn off her phone, Lucas texted her.

– Aunt, when are you coming back after your business trip? I ordered a big meal for you so I could pay you back.
