CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 259

After Emmett finished speaking, he took the lead and started walking.

Alyssa followed closely behind him. She stared at his back and walked absentmindedly.

Suddenly, Emmett, who was walking in front of her, stopped.

Alyssa did not understand and also stopped.

At this time, Emmett said leisurely, "Walk well."

Alyssa was shocked and suspected that he had eyes on the back of his head.

Emmett took half a step forward and turned around. Under Alyssa's surprised gaze, he held her hand and led her forward.

Alyssa looked at the two people's hands that were clasped together and was stunned for a long time. She raised her head to look at him.

His jaw was taut. The lines of his chin were neat and clean, but it was indeed a little thinner.

She could not help but ask him. "Have you been sleeping in the hospital these past few days?"

The two of them just happened to walk to the elevator entrance. Emmett pressed the elevator door and answered lightly. "Yes."

Alyssa continued to ask, "Did you have a good meal?"

Emmett looked at her coldly as if he disliked her. He did not say anything.

The elevator door opened and Alyssa was brought into the elevator by Emmett.

Winston stayed in a VIP ward, and the whole floor was emptied for him to recuperate.

The moment they stepped out of the elevator, Alyssa saw that the corridor was full of bodyguards, but the rest of the Lawrence family were not there.

Emmett brought her straight to Winston's ward.

"Grandpa is inside, go in."

Alyssa pushed the door open and entered the ward.

This was the first time Alyssa came to see Winston since his accident.

On the snow-white bed, Winston was quietly lying on the bed. He was wearing an oxygen mask, and his body was full of tubes. He was still infusion.

Alyssa walked closer and found that Winston's face was as pale as paper. His eye sockets were sunken, and his face was also wrinkled.

Winston was not a kind old man. He always had a dignified look, but Alyssa could not help feeling her nose ache when she saw him like this. novelbin

Alyssa sat down in front of the bed and softly called, "Grandfather?"

The person on the bed did not react at all. If it was not for the fog formed by breathing in the oxygen cover, Alyssa would almost think that Winston did not seem to be alive.

"Alright, come out."

At this time, the door to the ward was pushed open and Emmett's voice came over.

Alyssa raised her head and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She got up and walked out of the ward.

She closed the door of the ward and spoke to Emmett, "What did the doctor say?"

Emmett did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he looked at her quietly.

He noticed that her eyes were slightly red. He frowned slightly and said, "I am not sure when he will wake up. Even if he wakes up, he may not be like before."

Alyssa repeated what he had just said in shock. "He may not be like before?"

Emmett just looked at her expressionlessly and did not explain anything.

He might not be like before. It meant that Winston might be disabled, paralyzed, and become an old man who could not take care of himself.

Alyssa's face turned pale all of a sudden. She looked at Emmett but did not know what to say to comfort him.

A woman's voice suddenly came, "What are you doing here?"

Alyssa heard the voice and looked over. She saw Frances walking over.

Frances's gaze landed on Alyssa. It was very obvious that what she said just now was to Alyssa.

Alyssa pursed her lips and still called out, "Aunt."

Frances's expression was not very good. Her eyes were clearly rejecting Alyssa but she still nodded and said, "How are you these few days?"

"Thank you for your concern. I am fine."

Alyssa was a little disgusted with Frances like this.

Frances clearly hated her in her heart, but she still wanted to maintain a superficial harmony with her.

Frances asked again, "You came to see Dad?"

Alyssa did not cover it and said bluntly, "Yes."

Frances's eyes slightly flashed as if she was reminding her with good intentions, "During this period of time, you better avoid suspicion."

"Why should I avoid suspicion? As his granddaughter-in-law, shouldn’t I come to visit him?" Alyssa's expression was slightly restrained. She looked a little cold. "It should be the person who pushed Grandpa downstairs feel more guilty, right?"

Frances did not expect that Alyssa would be so frank. After a slight pause, she said, "That's true."

Emmett suddenly said, "Aunt, aren’t you going to go in and see grandpa?"

Emmett's tone was not very good and sounded a little impatient. Frances did not say much and pushed the door open to enter the ward.

Alyssa stared at the door for a few seconds and only came back to her senses after Emmett called her.

"Alyssa."

"Huh?"

"Why aren't you going back? Do you want to stay for lunch?"

"No, I don't think so." Alyssa paused for a second. She thought about the night before Winston's accident. When everyone was in the living room, Frances and George sneaked into the room.

Thinking of this, Alyssa pulled Emmett and walked towards the elevator.

However, she did not expect to meet Dylan at the entrance followed by Justin and Eliza.

They must have come from home to see the old man.

When Justin saw Alyssa, he happily called out to her, "Alyssa!"

Alyssa nodded slightly, "Justin."

After that, Justin said to Dylan, "Brother, you go first."

Dylan did not say anything, but Eliza, who was at the side, said in a strange tone, "You still dare to come to the hospital? Do you really not feel guilty at all?"

Justin turned his head and glared at Eliza. "What nonsense are you talking about? You are so weird and annoying! There is no evidence that Alyssa pushed Grandfather. The police did not find anything. Alyssa did not do anything. Why should she feel guilty?"

"Justin, you…"

Eliza was embarrassed by Justin's words and wanted to argue but was interrupted by Dylan, "Eliza, let's go first."

Eliza was obviously not willing to accept it. "Brother!"

But Dylan's attitude was firm and she could not say anything more.

However, before she left, Eliza still said in a weird tone, "Emmett, just protect this woman. Kathleen is already on the plane back to China. When she comes back, we'll see how you explain it to her. Humph!"

Kathleen?

Alyssa looked at Emmett in confusion.

Justin, who was at the side, was very perceptive. He leaned close to Alyssa's ear and said, "It's cousin's twin sister."

Emmett's twin sister?

Alyssa did not know much about the Lawrence family's situation. She had never heard anyone mention it before, so she did not know that Emmett actually had a twin sister.

This was not the place to talk. Once Dylan and Eliza left, the three of them entered the elevator.

Once they entered the elevator, Justin asked Alyssa out of concern. "Alyssa, are you okay these few days? They all said that you pushed grandpa, but I don't believe it. "
