The Heir's Secret Bride

205

Lynn smiled gently at him. 'I was in a hurry to see you The engagement is coming up soon, but I can't shake this feeling that it seems unreal,"

Byron stared at her brown eyes and said in a low and calm voice You have to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. Shall I send you back first?" "Okay." Lynn nodded and waved at Ray and Jarrett on the sofa, "We'll make a move first. Bye."

The two left side by side. When the door closed, Ray could not help but curse, "Fuck! Did you notice just now? Why does Lynn resemble Maeve so much? Especially when she smiles. At first, he thought she was Maeve. Jarrett clicked his tongue. T'm not blind; can't I see that?"

"Do you think Byron married Maeve because of this?" Ray rubbed his chin. "When Gilbert forced him to get married, Lynn happened to be preparing for surgery overseas."

"Who knows?" Jarrett was not as gossipy as him. He shrugged and did not say anything further.

In the corridor, walking beside Byron, Lynn asked gently. "Byron, before I went in just now, I think I heard Ray and Jarrett say that you were reluctant to part with someone. Who is that person?"

A cold look flashed across Byron's eyes. "It's an unimportant person. You don't have to know."

Lynn smiled and said, "I see." She thought it would be a wild woman who appeared out of nowhere during her surgery.

After passing by the corner, Byron suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze landed precisely on the slender figure at the table by the window. It was Maeve.

She rested her chin on her hand and looked drowsy. There was a set of used cutlery on the seat opposite her. Obviously, someone had been sitting there just now.

"Clang..

Suddenly, a loud noise came from above the restaurant as the chandelier shook, creaking and tilting downward, with the connections of the lights looking quite fragile. The other guests were frightened and scattered in a panic, hurriedly fleeing the dangerous area, while only Maeve remained seated, seemingly unresponsive.

"Rumble!" The chandelier suddenly shook violently and fell straight down. Maeve was right below it.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Lynn watched with her eyes wide open. Immediately after, she felt a figure sweep past her with a cold wind.

"Byron!" Lynn screamed when she saw the dangerous scene in front of her. "Watch out!"

That figure showed no hesitation and, just before the chandelier came crashing down, swiftly embraced Maeve and rolled to the side with lightning speed.

"Rumble!"

"Clang!"

"Bang!"

The chandelier smashed a hole in the tile floor, and fragments flew like dust. Even those watched from afar were accidentally scratched by the fragments, not to mention Byron, who was less than two feet from the chandelier.

The hook of the chandelier struck his shoulder, the sharp end piercing through his flesh and leaving a bloody gash that pozed down his arm. Part of the chandelier landed on his right leg, pinning him down and making him unable to move. Byron's handsome face lost its blood color. He frowned and looked at Maeve in his arms. "Marve, wake up" He lowered his voice and called Maeve several times.

Her eyes were tightly shut as if she had fainted. She did not move at all.

Lynn ignored the waiter who tried to stop her and ran over. When she saw Byron covered in blood, tears immediately fell. "Byron, are you alright? Don't scare me; I'll call an ambulance infinediately.

Not long after, an ambulance and a police car arrived simultaneously. Maeve and Byron were taken to the hospital in different ambulances.

Marve tested for the presence of sleeping pills in her body, but aside from that, there were no obvious external injuries. However, Byron did not come out after he entered the operating theater. While Lynn was waiting anxiously, Alexis rushed over. "How's Byron? Why was he suddenly injured?"

"Alexis, the surgery isn't over yet. Byron has been in there for two hours. I'm so scared... Lynn's tears fell uncontrollably.

"Don't cry; tell me what happened," Alexis said.

"L..I have no idea. The chandelier in the dining room suddenly fell, and Byron rushed out to save her." Lynn sobbed softly.. That woman was also sent to this hospital. I heard Byron call her Macve..." Alexis's expression changed instantly. She said sternly, "Maeve? Why is it this jinx again? Nothing good will happen as long as it's related to her."

First, it was Gilbert, and now it's Byron. I've said that this woman is here to jinx the Mcdaniel family, Alexis thought.

Lynn looked at Alexis in confusion. "Alexis, do you know her? Who is she?"

"She's just a stray dog that failed to climb the social ladder," Alexis said resentfully. When her eyes met Lynn's bewildered gaze, her expression softened slightly. "Lynn, I'm really grateful that you're by Byron's side this time. Once you two get married, I can finally feel at ease." 'Although Lynn isn't in good health, at least her family background is worthy of Byron. Byron can marry anyone except that scourge, Alexis thought.

Lynn smiled shyly at Alexis and looked at the operating theater anxiously.

In the ward on the other side, after the effects of the sleeping pills wore off, Maeve gradually woke up. She looked around and frowned.

Why am In the hospital? Am I not having dinner with Alex in the restaurant? Maeve thought.

While eating, she felt a little sleepy. After that, she seemed to have heard a loud bang but could not open

her eyes...

"Maeve, you're finally awake." Alex walked into the ward and put aside the lunch he had just bought. He looked at her with concern and asked, "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?" Maeve sat

up

and shook her head. "No. Alex, what's the matter with me?"

"Last night, the chandelier in the dining room suddenly fell. You were almost hit by it," Alex said with lingering fear. "The doctor said they detected the presence of sleeping pills in your body, so you didn't wake up even after such a big commotion."

Macve's eyes were filled with surprise. "Sleeping pills? But I've never taken sleeping pills.

"No wonder I felt so sleepy then, she thought,

Alex's expression was serious. "Someone must have planted it for you. But after that, the restaurant was in chaos, and many things were damaged. It'll be difficult to verify."

Maeve gripped the corner of the blanket tightly as a chill ran down her spine. She did not believe it was a coincidence.

After she took the sleeping pills, the chandelier suddenly fell. The person who drugged her clearly wanted her to die.

'But who could have done this?' she wondered.

The police will investigate this matter, don't overthink it. The results will come out sooner or later, Alex comforted her gently. "Eat something first."

Maeve suddenly thought of something and asked, "Alex, I fell asleep in my seat then. Were you the one who saved me?" At that time, she had not completely lost consciousness. She vaguely felt someone hugging her tightly and protecting her in his arms.
