Lyana approached the little boy, crouched down and felt his pulse.
When viewers saw Lyana checking up on the little boy, they couldn't help but comment.
- Young lady, you better get in the wedding car. It's really inauspicious for you to encounter such a thing on your wedding day!
- Yes, this little boy is really unlucky. I wonder who he is!
- If the parents of this child decide to extort money, we will be in big trouble!
…
Lyana could tell there was nothing wrong with the little boy's pulse. Seeing that his face was pale and still covered in cold sweat, she had an idea.
Olga saw that Lyana refused to leave. Thinking that Lyana wanted to run away from the wedding, she immediately approached her and said in a low voice,
- Hurry up and get in the wedding car. Let me tell you, don't dare try stuff!
- Get me a bowl of sugar solution! Lyana held out her hand to Olga.
Olga looked at Lyana's handles, then turned her head to signal the servant next to her.
Soon the maid brought the sugar solution. Lyana got the little boy to drink, then asked someone to call the ambulance.
Olga clenched her teeth in anger, but she had no choice but to call an ambulance. She even asked the servant to pull out a chair for the little boy to sit on. When she was done, she walked over to Lyana.
- Stop playing tricks. Hurry up and get in the Sanchez family car!
Olga was really worried that Lyana would use this opportunity to escape. She did not want her darling daughter Inès to marry a wretch.
Lyana gave Olga one last look, before getting into the Sanchez family car.
The Sanchez family castle was in the nearby forest. Along the city borders, you could already see the tall spiers of the castle reaching for the sky.
It was a spectacular sight to behold. There was even an appealing air of mystery surrounding the castle.
However, it was said that no one was willing to come to this place. Once they entered Sanchez family territory, the Sanchez family bodyguards would convince them to leave.
In her wedding dress, Lyana entered the Sanchez residence alone. The servants were momentarily surprised to see her wearing this, but politely led her into the living room anyway.
The Sanchez family living room was richly furnished, in a style that resembled European architecture. Sunlight filtered through the glass, bathing the entire living room in golden light.
- Miss Dubois, please wait a moment. I'm going to get the second young master Sanchez.
Lyana nodded. After the maid left, she sat down on the sofa and leaned back elegantly, her chin resting on her left hand.
Why would the Sanchez family want a marriage with the Dubois family?
is it really to get rid of bad luck, as others had said?
Lyana thinks to herself. If Inès knew that she had come to the Sanchez family in a wedding dress, but it turned out that the Sanchez family had no intention of holding a wedding, Inès could well burst into tears.
Lyana was the only girl in the Dubois family who could remain calm and composed in any situation.
At this moment, she suddenly felt something strange behind her. Instinctively, she moved away, and almost immediately afterwards she caught a glimpse of a blue creature flying past her.
It was a blue-green python. Although he was small, he was extremely fast.
The python flicked its bright red tongue and looked coldly at Lyana. Her body was continually swaying, as if considering how he should attack and devour her.
In a flash, the python shot towards Lyana like an arrow leaving its bow.
She sat calmly. She reached out and nonchalantly grabbed the seven-inch python. His lips curved slightly. Smiling, she said,
- You are quite capable, aren't you? Perfect for medicinal use.
- Let him go.
A man's voice sounded behind her, cold as ice.
Lyana turned her head to look at the man. He wore a crisp white shirt that accentuated his tall figure. The top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and just above it was a beautiful face so beautiful it was almost suffocating to watch.
Her facial features were well defined, with a pair of sharp eyebrows. His eyes were like stars, but they were cold.
- Who are you?
Lyana raised her eyebrow slightly. She could pretty much guess his identity. To be able to play with snakes so brazenly in the Sanchez residence, this man had to be the ugly and short-lived second young master, Vincent Sanchez!
Vincent looked at Lyana and also raised his eyebrow, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
- You're not Inès Dubois!
His words clearly hinted at danger. Lyana smiles and says:
- I'm his older sister, Lyana Dubois!
Seeing Vincent's displeased face, Lyana shook the snake from his hand and said:
- I was lucky you spoke fast. Otherwise, I would have turned it into medicine!
As Lyana spoke, she dropped the snake into her hand. The blue-green python seemed to harbor a grievance as it slid silently onto Vincent's shoulder. He lowered his little head, looking pitiful.
Vincent gave Lyana a detailed look. She was not tall, but she had rather exquisite features and had a good figure. His gaze finally landed on Lyana's hands.
His hands weren't big and his slender fingers looked like they could be broken just by the wind. He never expected such a delicate pair of hands to be able to grasp his python.
Not only that, she even wanted to use her pet to make Chinese medicine!
Vincent still had a hard time believing that someone who looked so sweet and harmless could be so capable.
He sensed that the little snake was unwilling to submit and was still rearing for a fight. He frowned. In a low voice he commanded,
- Lan!
The blue-green python rubbed its head against Vincent's chin charmingly, trying to please its master. It seemed extremely obedient. Those who didn't know better would think it was a puppet!
Vincent reached out and touched the snake's head. The snake quickly wrapped itself around Vincent's wrist like a bracelet. He walked over to the sofa and looked at Lyana's wedding dress, her expression indifferent.
- The Dubois family has some nerve. They actually dared to send a replacement bride.
Although it was only an occasional phrase, Lyana could feel a strong sense of oppression radiating from Vincent. He constantly gave off a cold aura.
If she wasn't mistaken, the snake must have been ordered by Vincent to attack her in the first place. At that thought, Lyana smiled.
- Snake soup is very nutritious. Mr. Sanchez, would you like some? Lyana looked at Vincent fearlessly. She could tell from his cool look that he was unhappy with her.
Lyana watched Vincent walk up and stare at her. For some reason, she suddenly remembered that night five years ago. This strange man looked a bit like the man in front of her.
While she was still in a daze, Vincent grabbed her chin with one hand and forced her to look at him. In a deep, magnetic voice he laughed at her,
- The Dubois family forced their own daughter to be a living widow just for that little engagement gift?
- My apologies, I'm not going to be a widow. Although Lyana's mind was a mess, she still projected a calm facade. Fearless, she met Vincent's unfathomable eyes and said:
- Mr. Sanchez, you don't have to curse yourself. You won't die and I won't be a widow!
You will not die!
These words left Vincent stunned for a moment. For as long as he could remember, everyone in his life had told him that he wouldn't live past the age of twenty. While he had relied on various medicinal ingredients to live another five years, he could feel his life force constantly slipping away. He was already approaching the end of his life.
This young girl actually had the courage to say that he would not die!
She was indeed a naive and daring young woman.
Vincent's lips curved slightly and his eyes lit up. He gently tucked Lyana's hair behind her ear and asked with interest,
- Why, do you think you can save me?
The Sanchez family was well known around the world. Everyone in the Sanchez family had sought out famous doctors, but none of them could save him. All the doctors concluded with certainty that he would not live beyond twenty years.
Lyana could tell that the man no longer harbored hostility towards her. She said with a serious expression,
- Your face has already shown me your state of health.
Observing, listening, questioning, and feeling the patient's pulse were the four basic methods used in traditional Chinese medicine to diagnose illnesses.
Vincent's eyes darkened. The snake around her hand coiled around Lyana's neck. He retracted his hand, looking at her as if looking at a corpse.
Once again, Lyana calmly grabbed the seven-inch snake, which weakened under her grasp. Turning her head as she looked at Lan, she brought him up to eye level and said softly,
- Lan, staying alive isn't a good thing? do you really want to force me to turn you into a medicinal ingredient? You could be worth five to six million yuan if you live. After you die, you won't be worth as much. do you really want to die?
With that, Lyana casually brushed Lan off on the side couch. She leaned forward slightly and approached Vincent, smiling.
- I can help you!
- You will help me?
Vincent looked at Lyana with an unreadable smile on his face. Looking into her clear eyes, he found himself oddly touched for some reason. If he could live, he would certainly be willing to do so. But this young woman was clearly too naive.
Doctors were not gods. They couldn't save everyone.
Moreover, there were countless rare diseases in the world that were simply incurable. Vincent had been sick for a long time and he knew in his heart that there was no longer any hope for him.
- Are you helping me to help the Dubois family?
- No.
Lyana shook her head and grabbed Vincent's hand. His hand was extraordinarily cool to the touch. Seeing that he was about to retract his hand, she immediately held it tightly and said:
- If I can't stay here, I will be sent back to the hospital by my family and I will remain in detention.
Her hands were very warm, as if basking in the winter sun. It was an intoxicating heat.
This warmth gradually spread from his hands to his whole body. Vincent found himself yearning for more of that heat. He made sure his expression was cool before he looked at Lyana and teased,
- This patient from the psychiatric hospital turns out to be quite interesting.
Lyana was surprised for a moment she didn't expect this man to know who she was. She looked up to look at Vincent, but he was already staring coldly to the side.
She looked down and smiled at herself. It seemed that the so-called ruthless second young master Sanchez was actually quite nice.
However, his body seemed to really run out of fuel…
