A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

“So you remember his face?” Lyana asked.

When Vincent heard Lyana’s question, he slowly closed his eyes and did his best to recall the situation at the time.

What he remembered most clearly was that she was very scared and terrified. Her body was shaking, as if terrified.

He could still smell the jasmine on her. This smell was not pungent at all. Instead, it smelled a little good.

It was so dark there that he couldn’t see her face at all.

After this incident, he went to investigate the girl. In the end, he found a slim young woman lying on the operating table.

She was covered in blood.

Lucas, who had just been born, lay next to her.

Vincent’s expression became more and more serious. His eyebrows sank deeper and deeper, and his breathing became more and more erratic.

He had initially thought the girl was Lucas’ mother, but later realized he had misunderstood. Lucas’ mother was someone else.

“I remember she said she was only eighteen…

Vincent’s voice trembled.

When Lyana heard Vincent’s words, her expression faltered slightly.

She remembered that night five years ago when she was pressed under a man. At that time, she was extremely scared. She wanted to escape, but she was imprisoned and couldn’t.

“I’m only eighteen. Please let me go… let me go. I will give you money. I’ll give you as much as you want.

At this thought, Lyana couldn’t help but shiver. She looked down and saw that the goosebumps on her arms had lifted.

She could imagine how helpless and painful Lucas’ biological mother was at the time.

“She was very afraid of me, and her words were incoherent…

Vincent remembered what had happened that night. Emotions welled up in his eyes and he blamed himself a lot.

“I let her down in this business. I wanted to take responsibility and marry her, but I couldn’t find her…

When Lyana heard his words, she felt a little uneasy, but quickly calmed down.

Vincent and that girl were just pitiful people who had been plotted against. In fact, this girl was the most pitiful. Her innocence was ruined for no reason and she even gave birth to a child. She couldn’t even be with her own child.

She sat down next to Vincent and held out her hand, as if to calm her emotions.

“If you really don’t remember, then don’t think about it. We can take our time searching. I think she is also looking for Lucas, because no mother will give up looking for her child.

When Vincent heard Lyana’s words, he grabbed her hand. His grip was strong, as if he feared Lyana would leave him.

She frowned imperceptibly and comforted him.

“Since you don’t remember any more, don’t think about it any more.”

-Liana.

– Eh?

Lyana’s expression faltered. Could it be that Vincent’s personality has already changed? Was he now Vicki?

In that thought, she inadvertently encountered Vincent’s frightened and uneasy expression. His voice was helpless.

“I hurt once… hurt someone, but I don’t remember anything. Lyana.

Lyana met Vincent’s pure gaze and was completely certain of her guess.

She sighed slightly and cried softly,

– Vicky?

He looked up at Lyana, eyes filled with grief.

– Lyana, I have become a bad child. I’m so sad.

He spoke helplessly, as if trying to remember who he had hurt, but he couldn’t remember.

Seeing Vincent like that, Lyana completely understood. It looked like Vicki was out.

Could it be that in Vincent’s subconscious mind he felt he was useless, unloved and abandoned?

Lyana recalled Vincent’s birth and childhood. Perhaps this experience had created Vicki.

She looked at Vincent with heartache and hugged him involuntarily.

When we were at our worst, maybe what we needed most was a hug.

Lyana gently patted his back and comforted him in a low voice.

“Vicki, everything in the past is in the past. Don’t think about what you can’t remember anymore. I also encountered a lot of things and I don’t remember those things either. Therefore, sometimes it is normal that people cannot remember the past.

Vincent reached out and took Lyana in his arms. Feeling Lyana’s warmth, her discomfort gradually dissipated, leaving only peace in her heart.

After a long moment, he looked up at Lyana. There were still tears on her long eyelashes, and her voice was a bit nasal.

“Lyana, will you be leaving Vicki behind in the future as well?” Won’t you want Vicki?

Also…

Lyana remembered that Vincent was born to be a source of medicine. His parents didn’t really like him.

Who would want to experience such a life?

It wasn’t just once.

Even the strongest person would probably feel helpless and in pain.

She recalled how he drove many tanks to search for her in MY.

At that time, he was standing on a tank. The breeze was blowing on his windbreaker, and he was extremely handsome.

In her heart, she had never thought he had such a fragile side.

If Matriarch Sanchez hadn’t said so, she would never have dared to imagine how bitter her life had been in the past.

As long as ik was scared, sad, or felt he was about to be abandoned, Vicki appeared.

At that moment, Vincent didn’t hear Lyana’s words. After a long time, he said:

– If Lyana really doesn’t want Vicki, can Lyana leave in secret? Not in front of Vicki, okay?

She really couldn’t bear to part with him. If Lucas was Vincent’s child and the child he had once loved, she might have blamed him, but Lucas had only been the subject of a plot. Vincent was not to blame for this, nor Lucas’ mother. Those who plotted against them are the ones to blame.

How could she bear to blame Vincent for someone else’s mistake?

Lyana pursed her lips and said:

– No, Lyana will accompany Vicki. She won’t leave.

Even if she had to leave in the future, she had to treat Vincent’s illness.

– Really ?

He stared at Lyana without blinking.

Lyana nodded.

– Really. I won’t lie to you.

Vincent looked at Lyana and gently rested his head on her shoulder. Gradually he fell asleep.

Although he didn’t want to sleep and he didn’t want Lyana to leave him, he was too sleepy now. He couldn’t open his eyes no matter what.

Lyana pats her back gently. Seeing that he had fallen asleep, she placed him on the couch.

She pulled out a small blanket and covered him with it.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She sat on her side and watched him, still frowning in her sleep. It was like he was having a nightmare.

She patted his body gently and comforted him. ”

“Vickie, go to sleep. Don’t worry. I will stay here with you.

In his sleep, Vincent seemed to have heard Lyana’s voice. His forehead gradually relaxed, and his breathing became long and regular.

Seeing this, Lyana knew he had already fallen asleep.

She slowly withdrew her hand, staring at Vincent without batting an eyelid.
