CEO's Substitute Bride

The fact that she could not leave without permission was already indirectly restricting her freedom.

Alyssa did not refute.

She was very worried about Winston now.

Although Winston had sent a woman to Emmett's villa earlier and indeed made Alyssa feel bad about him, she had no grudge against him after her conversation with Winston earlier.

Furthermore, Emmett must be very sad.

Thinking of Emmett, Alyssa's expression could not help but turn cold.

The corridor returned to its previous silence.

Although Eliza was not satisfied with George's actions, she did not dare to say anything.

After all, George was currently lying in the operating theater, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Now the most powerful man in the Lawrence family was George.

Suddenly, Emmett said in an extremely calm voice. "Call the police."

His words caught everyone's attention.

Alyssa turned her head and could only see Emmett's handsome and perfect face and slightly drooping eyes.

He looked very calm, but the cold and solemn aura emitted from his body proved his current mood.

Immediately after, he said, "Since you suspect that grandpa fell from the stairs, it was not an accident, but man-made. Then, call the police and let them investigate clearly."

He said this to George.

Alyssa clearly saw George's expression was a little surprised, as if he was very surprised by Emmett's suggestion.

This made Alyssa wonder.

If George really suspected that Winston's matter was man-made, calling the police should be considered normal procedure.

George thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then call the police."

George asked someone to call the police, but since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was not that quick to call the police. The police only asked them to protect the scene.

Meanwhile, Alyssa and the others waited for Winston in the hospital.

Alyssa had just woken up not long ago, and she did not have time to eat before she followed them to the hospital.

At this moment, she sat down and waited for Winston to finish his surgery, she was a little hungry.

However, in this situation, even if she was a little hungry, she could only endure it for a while.

The surgery that Winston was going to undergo could not be completed in a short period of time. Alyssa did not know how long she would have to endure it.

Suddenly, Frank appeared in the corridor with some bodyguards.

He walked straight to Emmett. When he passed by George, he nodded slightly to greet him.

Frank stood in front of Emmett. "Mr. Lawrence."

Emmett glanced at Alyssa and said to Frank, "Take Mrs. Lawrence back."

Alyssa suddenly turned to look at Emmett.

Why did he take her back?

"I want to wait here for grandpa to wake up." If Winston woke up, she would probably be able to get rid of the suspicion.

Almost immediately, Emmett said in a cold voice, "I don’t want to see you here."

"Emmett!"

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are my wife. Maybe you pushed grandpa downstairs. The reason I asked Frank to bring you back to the old residence to watch you and not let you run away."

Alyssa almost could not believe that Emmett was the one who said these words.

But Emmett's tone was cold. It did not seem like he was joking at all.

He did not look at Alyssa at all and directly instructed Frank. "Frank, did you not hear me? Take Mrs. Lawrence to the old residence and watch carefully!"

"Mrs. Lawrence, please." Frank walked to Alyssa and slightly nodded. He was still considered respectful.

Alyssa's face was white. She gave Emmett a deep look and then followed Frank.

She never thought that she would be suspected by the people of Lawrence family. Furthermore, their reason for suspecting her was so absurd.

Since Emmett had said so, there was no point for her to stay here.

After leaving the hospital, Frank brought Alyssa to the car.

As Frank started the car, he said, "Mrs. Lawrence, there is food in the box beside you. Mr. Lawrence asked me to bring it for you."

Alyssa was slightly stunned. She looked at the seat beside her and indeed saw a box. Above it was Golden Fountain Club's logo. It was very obvious that Frank had brought it for her from Golden Fountain.

"When did Emmett call you?" When she arrived at the hospital, she stood next to Emmett. She did not see Emmett was calling Frank.

Frank thought about it and said, "An hour ago."

Alyssa thought about it. An hour ago, that was probably when they were still in the Lawrence Mansion.

Could it be that Emmett pretended to suspect her?

Alyssa's voice could not hide her joy. "When he called you, he asked you to bring food to the hospital to pick me up?"

"No," Frank explained. "I know the young master's taste. He didn't like the food he asked me to bring.”

Emmett ordered him to bring the food over and asked him to fetch Alyssa. Naturally, the food was specifically prepared for Alyssa.

The joy on Alyssa's face disappeared and she did not speak anymore.

She opened the box and found that it was filled with her favorite food, but she did not have much appetite.
