CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 253

And who was the one who set it up?

What was his purpose?

Was he a member of the Lawrence family?

If he was from the Lawrence family, how did he use Winston to lure Alyssa into the trap?

Why was this happening on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

Alyssa thought about these questions as she walked to Winston's room.

Just the day before yesterday, she had been sitting on the sofa with Winston watching television. Winston had even asked her and Emmett to be fine.

It had only been a day, but Winston was already lying in the operating room with his life on the verge of death.

Alyssa felt a little sad.

She turned around and walked out. "Let's go."

Frank still followed her.

She returned to the room, and Frank stood guard outside the door.

When she was about to close the door, she turned to Frank and said, "You've worked hard."

After all, it was the first day of the new year. Emmett even called Frank out.

"Mrs. Lawrence, you are too polite. Mr. Lawrence asked me to work for him because he trusts me." Frank nodded slightly. He still looked cautious and steady.

Alyssa did not say anything else. She smiled and walked into the room.

…

Alyssa waited until it was dark. She did not see anyone come back.

Alyssa held her phone and wanted to call Emmett to ask about the situation.

Although she thought that what Emmett said to her might not be true, she still did not dare to call.

She did not want to hear Emmett's cold voice.

In the past, when her life in Moore family was at its worst, she did not feel any sadness.

Now, when she heard Emmett's cold voice talking to her, she actually felt sad.

She was really spoiled by Emmett.

…

There was a knock on the door all of a sudden.

Alyssa was delighted. She thought Emmett had come back and quickly got up to open the door.

When the door was opened and Alyssa saw the person clearly, her initial joy had disappeared completely.

The person standing outside the door was not Emmett but the maid who brought her food.

Alyssa asked the maid, "Is Mr. Lawrence not back yet?"

The maid shook her head stiffly, put down the tray, and turned to leave.

When she opened the door, she noticed that Frank was still guarding the door with a few bodyguards.

She opened the door again and asked Frank, "Did Emmett call you to say anything?"

"No." Frank lowered his head to avoid seeing Alyssa's disappointed face.

In the end, she did not call Emmett.

She was not in the mood to sleep, so she took the blanket and rested on the sofa.

She fell asleep in a daze. She felt someone walking in her room.

Although the person who was walking had tried to lower the sound of footsteps, Alyssa could still hear it very keenly and woke up very alertly.

She opened her eyes and saw Emmett's tall and straight figure.

At this time, Emmett leaned slightly towards her and raised one of his arms slightly. She did not know what he was going to do.

Alyssa sat up straight. "You're back."

Emmett stood up straight and looked at her expressionlessly. "Did you eat dinner?"

"Yes." Alyssa nodded obediently and asked him, "How’s Grandfather? He…"

When she said that, she stopped talking.

Emmett's expression turned cold. "The surgery has been completed, but he is not out of danger. He may wake up within forty-eight hours, or he may never wake up again."

Alyssa suddenly looked up at Emmett and met his cold eyes.

She explained in a panic, "I did not push grandpa."

The room became quiet.

Emmett looked at her and did not say anything. He seemed to be thinking about the truth of her words.

Alyssa had always felt that she was a very strong person.

However, in front of Emmett, she was just a vulnerable girl in front of her beloved man.

His short silence was enough to hurt her.

However, what he said next made Alyssa feel as if she was in an ice cellar.
