The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 778 Rara is back but his reaction is strange

When he asked her about her promise, Lyra looked a little uncomfortable.

After a moment's contemplation, she frowned, put her hand to her forehead in pain, and said in a

strong but relaxed voice,

"Honey, of course I know about our promise. I keep you in my heart. I won't forget anything about you,

but I have a headache right now. Can you let me rest first?"

Malcolm's face looked cold inch by inch, and he looked down with disappointment in his dark eyes. His

heart felt like it was being weighed down by a heavy rock, and it was hard for him to breathe.

She was ... not Rara.

He had begged his grandfather for the betrothal between them.

He had done everything he could do to make Lyra forgive him and not break the engagement.

He never dared to ask Lyra for any promise.

But this woman didn't know.

Even though she looked like Lyra, and some of gestures were deliberately imitating Lyra's grace, she

was really not Lyra.

His clenched palms trembled, and Malcolm's eyes turned red.

His wife was not found, but he brought back a fake.

There was nothing more painful than to think that he had found her and then to lose her again.

The woman soon felt that his mood was low and very wrong, "What's going on? Did I say something

wrong to make you sad?"

"Nothing, you say you have a headache. My heart aches." He restrained the mood and always lowered

his head.

The woman heaved a sigh of relief as she remembered what was going on. She gripped Malcolm's

sleeve nervously and asked, "Hey, Honey, where are Spencer and Momo? I haven't seen them in days.

I want to see them."

Malcolm lowered his eyes, and his dark pupils gradually turned cold. He said calmly, "There's no hurry.

You should rest first. You can be discharged in a few days. I'll take you to see them."

"Good." The woman showed a smile, "Listen to you."

Malcolm withdrew his arm slightly, stopping her from clutching his sleeve. He raised his left wrist and

looked at his watch.

It was nighttime. It was time to go back to the lab and company Spencer and Molly.

He got up and said, "It's getting late. Rara, have a good rest. I'll be back in the morning."

The woman was slightly blank, "I am hospitalized. Don't you accompany me?"

She looked hurt, and her pretty bright face was very beautiful.

"Spencer is not in good health. He needs an infusion at night. He'll cry if he doesn't see me. Honey, you

used to love the kids the most. Is this a competition with them?"

He looked down at her. His voice was gentle, but his eyes were deep and emotionless.

The corners of her mouth twitched. "No," she said, "Spencer's weak. I've been blaming myself, too. Go

be with the kids. I'll be waiting for you in the ward."

"That sounds good. Have a good rest. I go first." He smiled and coaxed, but the smile didn't mean he

was happy.

As he turned, the smile disappeared completely from his face.

"Hey, before you go, could you... a kiss?"

Before the woman could finish her words, the door to the room slammed, and Malcolm walked quickly

without looking back.

Why did he walk so fast?

She thought Malcolm loved his wife more than anyone?

How could she not feel it?

Was Malcolm suspicious of her already? Even see through her?

Thinking of this, she rushed out of bed, facing the mirror to examine her delicate face.

It was so beautiful. It was exactly the same. There was nothing wrong with it.

She thought she was overthinking it. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

...

Malcolm came out of the ward, walking down the aisle.

Brad was called over and waited in the elevator with his eyes wide open.

"Anything else, Boss?"

Malcolm's eyes were cold, and his thin, pressed lips contained something.

He quickly removed his coat, and threw it into the trash can without looking up, as if one more look that

he would be contaminated with dirty things.

"Send a few of the best fighters to guard madam's ward. We can't let her leave the ward. You must

check medical staff's identification before entering. The rest of the idle people are not allowed to enter

the ward."

Brad nodded politely. "Got it."

Malcolm smoothed the cuffs of his shirt and stepped into the elevator. "You drive. Go to the lab."

He was so angry that his whole body was enveloped in a layer of sullen and cold aura. He was afraid

that he would be unable to drive the car and could not help but step on the gas pedal to death.

"Yes."

Brad followed him into the elevator and helped press the button.

Although he felt that he had found his wife this time, Malcolm's attitude to his wife was strange to him,

but he didn't ask any more questions and followed his instructions.

On his way to NIB, Malcolm got a call from Chad.

He answered the phone as he looked at the data on his tablet.

Chad kept up to date on several recent high-profile cases in Suham.

Malcolm listened and his well-jointed fingers tapped the tablet. No one could know what he was

thinking.

The two talked on the phone for ten minutes about their work.

When the conversation was almost done, the air suddenly quiet down, quiet a bit weird.

Malcolm asked casually, "Did you find Anthony?"

Chad: "No, he hasn't been back to the Callahan Residence lately. He's probably trying to find... help

find Lyra"

Malcolm didn't have a special look on his face. "He doesn't know Lyra's been found?"

"He knows. This afternoon, not long after you left, he called me and told me that he found Lyra's

location, but I told him you were on your way to save her. He hung up and didn't say anything else."

Malcolm frowned, hung up the phone with Chad and meditated.

Given Anthony's care about Lyra, knowing that he had gone to save Lyra, he would have come to see

her as soon as possible.

But this time he not only did not come, but also continue to disappear.

He was a little odd, a little strange.

Malcolm picked up the phone and called Anthony.

The phone rang for a full minute before it was finally connected.

"What can I do for you?" asked the man in a calm and reluctant voice

Malcolm waited for two seconds before saying, "Lyra was found."

Anthony, on the other end of the line, was quiet for a while, as if digesting the news.

After almost two minutes, the phone seemed to have been hung up. Anthony said slowly,

"Congratulations. You've finally found your wife. Don't lose her again."

Malcolm frowned deeply. "Where are you?"

Anthony won't answer that question, but continued, "I overreacted a few days ago because of Lyra's

disappearance. I apologize to you. I have some personal matters to take care of. I won't be bothering

you and your family for a while."

Then he hung up the phone.

Malcolm found him increasingly strange.

He knew how much Anthony loved Lyra, which was no less than himself, but hearing him talk about

finding Lyra, Anthony was in no hurry.

Without asking Lyra if she was hurt, if she had been poisoned, if she was safe, he said a few words of

blessing and hung up.

There was something really wrong with Anthony.
