A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Seeing how bold Lyana was, Dr. Walter broke into a cold sweat.

In his eyes, Lyana’s actions amounted to suicide.

She pulled out a silver needle and continued to purge the poison into Matriarch Sanchez’s body. When she finished, she stood up and began to walk out of the room.

Seeing this, the butler thought she was trying to escape the situation. As he was about to chase her, Vincent shot him a look and the butler burst in.

Two minutes later, to everyone’s astonishment, Lyana returned to the room, holding a white porcelain bottle.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, perhaps from running too fast.

She didn’t even have time to wipe off her sweat. With a solemn expression, she helped Matriarch Sanchez again. After feeding him the medicine, she looked at her watch and removed the silver needles from his body.

After finishing, Lyana bandaged the wound on Matriarch Sanchez’s wrist and helped her to lie down.

Everyone’s attention was entirely on Matriarch Sanchez. It was only after they saw her chest rise and fall that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Julie was standing on her side with her head slightly lowered. No one could tell what she was feeling.

– Ah!

The butler shouted.

Everyone turned to frown at the butler. They all felt displeased with his behavior; he was acting too flustered.

A trace of joyful surprise crossed the butler’s face. He said loudly,

– Why are you looking at me? Look at Matriarch Sanchez instead. His fingers moved.

His words instantly caught everyone’s attention, and they all turned to Matriarch Sanchez’s hands.

When Vincent saw Matriarch Sanchez’s fingers move, pleasure shone in his eyes. For a moment, the world of darkness that had enveloped the audience seemed to be filled with light.

Dr. Walter looked at Matriarch Sanchez’s fingers in disbelief.

How was it possible

Did Lyana really save Matriarch Sanchez?Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Suppressing the joy he felt, Vincent lowered his gaze before looking at Lyana, who was sitting next to him. Her expression was complicated.

Lyana placed her hand on Matriarch Sanchez’s forehead. After a beat, she pulled back.

Matriarch Sanchez no longer had a fever and her condition had already stabilized.

Lyana’s heart, which was in her throat, finally calmed down. She looked up at Vincent and met his dark eyes. His eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake, almost as if he didn’t care if Matriarch Sanchez lived or died.

– Grandma’s fever has already disappeared and her life is no longer in danger. However, her body is still very weak right now and she cannot move. She can only recover in bed. After that, I will prescribe medicine to recover for grandma, Lyana said calmly.

Her gaze inadvertently fell on Vincent.

Vincent’s hands, and she saw Vincent’s clenched fists slowly relax.

So he was still very worried about Grandma.

Julie, who was standing to the side, widened her eyes in disbelief.

– Grandma… Is she really okay?

How was this possible?

In addition to giving her medicine, Lyana had inserted only a few needles into Grandma’s body. She had also left a lot of Grandma’s blood. Was this really all it took to save Grandma?

Not only that, but it also meant that Lyana was no longer a suspect.

Lyana gave Julie a meaningful look, then her gaze fell on Dr. Walter’s face. She said,

– Dr. Walter, you can examine Matriarch Sanchez again.

Dr. Walter had been waiting for Lyana to say this for a long time. He had never expected her to save Matriarch Sanchez in just two or three moves.

He quickly stepped forward and began to examine Matriarch Sanchez. His hand fell on Matriarch Sanchez’s wrist.

A person’s pulse was the best indicator of their health.

How strange. How strange.

Although Matriarch Sanchez’s pulse was weak, it had calmed down significantly.

She was no longer running a fever now and her complexion was gradually improving. She was truly out of danger.

Dr. Walter looked at Lyana in disbelief, even forgetting to breathe… After a long moment, he finally asked with a stammer,

– What hospital are you from? Why haven’t I heard of you before?

– I am not a doctor in any hospital. It is normal that Dr. Walter does not know me. But Dr. Walter, do you remember what you just said?

A trace of embarrassment crossed Dr. Walter’s face. He still remembered what he had just said.

He felt that he had really overestimated his own abilities.

However, he had to concede defeat. He was not a big loser, nor was he one who would go back on his word.

Letting out a helpless sigh, Dr. Walter replied,

– I know. I will retire from the medical field in the future and never treat anyone else.

Lyana’s expression was blank as she spoke.

– This is not necessary. I hope that Dr. Walter will be able to restore Grandma to good health.

In Lyana’s words, everyone was stunned.

Even Dr. Walter was amazed.

His attitude just now had been terrible. He had practically accused Lyana of being a liar.

Now that he heard Lyana’s words, he felt extremely guilty. When he looked at Lyana again, his eyes were filled with admiration.

She was so young, but she was so magnanimous.

Most people couldn’t achieve the same level of character.

– I’m sorry, second young lady. In the future, I will take good care of Matriarch Sanchez’s health. If there is anything you need from me in the future, I will certainly cross the hell and high water for you without hesitation!

Dr. Walter said sincerely.

Lyana’s expression was indifferent.

– That will not be necessary.

In fact, she could understand what Dr. Walter had just done.

If this were to happen to an ordinary doctor, they would naturally think that there was no chance of Grandma making it. Therefore, Dr. Walter just wanted Grandma to die in peace.

Indeed, Dr. Walter’s medical skills were not entirely up to par.

Therefore, the blame should not rest solely on Dr. Walter’s shoulders.

Lyana’s gaze fell on Julie. Julie began to feel a little uncomfortable under her gaze. She lowered her head, her mind racing as she considered how to rid herself of the suspicion that had fallen upon her.

Just as she was about to speak, Matriarch Sanchez woke up.

Matriarch Sanchez opened her eyes slightly and looked at Vincent, who was standing by her bed. Her eyes were slightly crooked as she said it weakly,

– Ah Vincent…

– Grandma!

Seeing that Matriarch Sanchez had awakened, Julie looked as if she had seen a ray of hope. She rushed over with teary eyes, shouting enthusiastically.

However, Vincent turned and blocked Julie’s view.

Vincent looked down at Matriarch Sanchez and reached out to grab her hand. His voice was lower than ever.

– Grandma.

-I seem to have had a very long dream. I dreamed that I had met the king of the underworld, he wanted me to be reincarnated.

At this point, Matriarch Sanchez began to sob.

A trace of concern flashed in Vincent’s eyes, but he quickly regained his usual calm.

– It was just a dream.

Matriarch Sanchez’s eyes were red. It was actually the first time she’d had a brush so close to death.

However, when she thought about leaving Vincent and little Lucas behind after she died, her heart hurt terribly.

In fact, the person who worried her the most was Vincent. This child had a phobia of women and was extremely paranoid. If he didn’t get together with Lyana, he would probably be alone for the rest of his life.

Now his greatest hope was that Vincent would live a happy life before he died.

Matriarch Sanchez turned to look at Lyana, who was standing to the side. She said softly,

– Lyana.

– Grandmother.

Seeing Matriarch Sanchez in such a weak state, Lyana thought of her own grandmother, who had raised her since she was young, she felt bad.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lyana with gratitude.

– Without you, I might not have woken up. You are truly the lucky star of the Sanchez family.

– It’s all my fault that you’ve suffered so much this time.

Lyana shook her head slightly. In her heart, she blamed herself a lot.

– If I had been able to keep an eye on the medicine room, such a serious incident would not have happened.

– It has nothing to do with you. No one can keep their guard up forever, or maintain constant vigilance. Matriarch Sanchez spoke up to comfort her.

– It’s someone else’s fault, not yours. Do not blame yourself…
