CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)
Chapter 37
The doctor immediately administered the injection to Emmett. It had taken a while, but his condition finally stabilized. The doctor sighed in relief as he packed up his things, before turning to her. “Make sure you get him to drink plenty of liquids. Also, he mustn’t be doing anything rigorous or exhausting that may affect his recovery, all right?”
“OK.”
Alyssa grabbed a towel from his bedside table to wipe the sweat off his forehead. By the time she had done so, the others already made their way out of the room.
She sighed in frustration and stared into his closed eyes. There was just something about this situation that she couldn’t seem getting away with.
Alyssa felt a little strange. That night in the dining room, she had fallen into “Justin’s” arms, and Frank had caught them in the act. Yet, he didn’t say the word. He even suggested her to take care of him while he was sick.
Shouldn’t he have said something to Emmett? Or had he forgotten that the incident happened in the first place?
“Mom…”
Before she could think about it more, he began to tremble under her touch. He called out once again while she was wiping his forehead. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, he suddenly grabbed a hold of her wrist, pulling him towards her. Even if his eyes were closed, his face was contorted into that of worry and disbelief.
No matter how hard she pulled, it was like fighting against an iron clamp. He even grabbed her hand even tighter.
She glared at him angrily. “I’m not your Mom! Let go of me.”
However, the man didn’t look like he could hear her at all. Instead, he grasped her hand as if his own life was on the line. The space between his brows gradually softened, and his breathing became steady. The grip on her hand seemed to have granted him some comfort in this world.
Her phone suddenly rang out; it was Hazel.
“Hazel, have you arrived?”
“I’m already at the entrance. Where are you?”
Alyssa looked down at “Justin” who was sleeping soundly. However, when she tried pulling her hand back, he simply gripped her even tighter. Seeing as there was no other choice, she called Frank to bring her friend in.
“What happened, Alyssa?” Hazel rushed into the room to get a better look. At first, she had wanted to see if Alyssa was doing okay and why she had called her in instead of coming out to join her. But as soon as she saw the man lying on the bed, she was shocked. Her jaw dropped, and it took her a few seconds to get herself together.
“Didn’t you say Emmett was ugly? Is he ugly? Are you blind or something?”
Frank , who was standing behind her this whole time, felt anxious and quickly explained. “This is the Second Young Master, Mr. Justin.”
“Mr. Justin?” Hazel blinked, narrowing her eyes at the way the two were positioned. “Then why is he holding Alyssa’s hands? If he really is who you say he is, doesn’t he know that she’s his sister-in-law? It wouldn’t be right to be so physically close to her, wouldn’t it? This will cause misunderstanding, especially under Emmett’s watch.”
Frank was speechless. At this point, once all of this was over, he was asking for a raise!
When Alyssa heard this, she couldn’t help but glance in Frank ‘s direction. That was also what she was curious about. If he was really Emmett’s assistant, shouldn’t he be more inclined in keeping them apart rather than pushing them together? Something about this just didn’t seem right at all.
Frank thought for a while and explained. “Isn’t sister-in-law like a mother? That’s why he’s holding her like that.”
