A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

All the spectators looked at Lyana. They all smiled disdainfully.

– How can a madman be a doctor?

– Keep your voice low. She must be hallucinating as a doctor.

– Ugh, that’s really pitiful. She is so pretty. Too bad there’s something wrong with his brain.

…

Feeling the skepticism aimed at her in all directions, Lyana said,

– Master Charles, I have published theses in several universities. If you don’t believe me, you can check!

Doctor Charles eyed Lyana suspiciously. She was clearly a young girl in her 20s, but her aura was no less strong than that of a man in his 40s or 50s.

Could Lyana be telling the truth?

Doctor Charles was beginning to have doubts. Grabbing Lyana, he was about to speak when he heard Eva’s voice.

– Lyana, you must really have an inflated opinion of yourself. Your name is so ordinary that there are tons of people with the exact same name. Your mental illness must be getting worse and worse. Now you even start to invent lies!

Eva clicked her tongue twice and shook her head, her face full of disdain.

Surrounding onlookers also started laughing at Lyana mockingly.

She turned to Eva and smiled.

– Eva, you’re not a medical student, are you?

The smile on Eva’s face froze.

– Master Sun, do your legs often hurt?

Lyana asked indifferently, glancing at Master Sun, who was standing at a distance.

Professor Sun nodded in confusion. Her legs had only started to hurt for the past two days. They had never hurt before. How did she know?

Seeing Master Sun nodded, everyone looked at Lyana in disbelief.

– Master Adam, do you often have headaches?

She spoke with certainty.

Everyone turned to Professor Adam. Seeing Professor Adam nodding as well, they strangely looked at Lyana.

– Master Louis, is your liver ill? Lyana asked.

Everyone thought there was no way she could guess correctly this time. One by one, they looked expectantly at Professor Louis. When they saw Professor Louis nodding, they were all so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

Doctor Charles looked at Lyana in disbelief. He had thought she was a lunatic with no medical training. But now that didn’t seem to be the case!

How aware was Lyana of each teacher’s health issues?

Eva sensed that everyone’s opinion of Lyana had changed. She said disdainfully,

– Lyana, you’re really good at spouting nonsense. I was wondering why you didn’t speak to anyone after you arrived. So you just listened!

Eva’s words were ingenious. What she implied was that Lyana couldn’t identify the teachers who felt bad because she listened in on their conversations.

When Doctor Charles heard Eva’s words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew it. How can a mentally ill patient possess medical skills?

Doctor Charles’ gaze fell on Lyana’s face. He said,

– Lyana Dubois, you don’t have to explain anymore. I understand now. I know your illness is very serious. There should be a psychiatrist present. I’ll have them take a look at you.

At that moment, a loud voice sounded from the door.

– Who dares to intimidate my disciple!

Teacher Tom had prepared to go home, but he soon realized that he had forgotten to pass on Lyana’s doctoral degree to him, so he returned to the banquet. When he saw everyone talking about Lyana’s illness, his expression darkened.

– Master!

Lyana called when she saw Professor Tom enter.

Professor Tom looked at Lyana with heartache. Of all his followers, he was the proudest of her. Yet, rumor had it that she was a mentally ill patient!

It had gone too far!All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

When Doctor Charles saw Professor Tom, he said hastily,

– Master Tom, that’s not what I meant. Why don’t you treat your disciple’s illness first?

-:What exactly is his illness?

Mr. Tom looked at Dr. Charles with a sour expression.

Seeing Professor Tom’s unpleasant expression, Doctor Charles also began to bristle. He had trusted Professor Tom so much, but he hadn’t expected him to impose a madwoman on him!

The more Dr. Charles thought about it, the angrier he grew!

– She just got out of the psychiatric hospital!

Doctor Charles spoke, forcibly suppressing his anger. He turned to look at Lyana.

– Tell your teacher! You just got out of the psychiatric hospital or not!

Lyana gave Doctor Charles an indifferent look. He felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and turned his head to the side.

– Where would she go to study psychiatry, if not a psychiatric hospital?

Mr. Tom was so angry that his face and neck were flushed. He looked coldly at Doctor Charles. He had never expected him to say that his disciple was crazy, especially when he had just entrusted his best disciple to Dr. Charles.

– She’s already got a doctorate. Which of you said that my disciple never studied medicine?

Eva was surprised by Professor Tom’s words.

– Lyana Dubois is only 24 this year! How is it possible?

– Why not? do you think she will only graduate with a doctorate at the age of 30 like you idiots?

Professor Tom questioned, with his grim expression

Everyone present was stunned.

They felt offended.

Most of them didn’t graduate until they were 30!

They looked at Professor Tom angrily. The teacher Charles had obtained a doctorate at the age of 26. They didn’t expect Professor Tom’s disciple to be even more formidable. She graduated at the age of 24!

Eva turned bright red in embarrassment. She seemed to remember something and spoke hastily.

– It’s impossible. You must have a bad relationship with her. Otherwise …

Lyana approached Eva and gave her a brutal slap on the face. Then, she took out a handkerchief and began to slowly wipe her hands, making sure every finger was spotless. When she spoke, her voice was as clear as a stream.

– How dare you slander my teacher? You are too cheeky.

– Lyana, it’s because you are generally too discreet. That’s why people misunderstand you! Teacher Tom pulled Lyana’s doctoral degree out of his bag, handing it to her.

– Congratulations, Addie, you graduated early. Now, in which hospital do you want to work?

Addie!

There was an uproar. Everyone was shocked!

Everyone present had heard of that name, Addie. This person was a rising star in the medical field and had already won a world-renowned medical award. However, this person maintained a very low profile. All the doctors in Country Z knew she was a woman, but none of them knew anything else.

None of them could have guessed that Addie and Lyana Dubois were one and the same.

– Thank you, Master Tom. I haven’t decided. She had originally wanted to go to Doctor Charles Hospital to join his project, but now she had changed her mind.

– Impossible! You can’t be Addie!

Collin walked over to Lyana and yelled,

– You have nerve! How dare you impersonate her?

Collin had always treated Addie as a beacon he was striving towards. He had always tried his best to be equal with her, but he had never expected that the person he had admired for so long would be Lyana Dubois, the woman he despised the most!

He hated Lyana more than anyone in the world. This woman pretended to be innocent and acted like she didn’t know anything, but she had done so many despicable acts!

Ines frowned. She didn’t know why everyone looked at Collin with disdain. She tugged at Eva’s sleeve, her voice shaking as she spoke.

– Sister, you told such a big lie. What will you do if exposed?

When Eva heard Ines’ words, her eyes darted to the side. Immediately, she stepped forward. She said loudly,

– You talk nonsense. do you think you can impersonate Addie just by pretending to be her? How dare you show up in front of everyone? Lyana, your sanity is really deteriorating. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible!

At this moment, Lyana’s cell phone started ringing.

She took out her cell phone and placed it next to her ear. She couldn’t hear the other party’s voice.

– Hello, who is speaking?

– You really are Addie!

White-haired principal Meyer, who oversaw the medical school, emerged from the crowd. He looked at Lyana in disbelief, his lips quivering slightly as he exclaimed,

– I saved your phone number in the past! I …

Director Meyer’s phone was still placed next to his ear. He had only tested a theory earlier, but he hadn’t expected Lyana to really be Addie.

She smiled and greeted him,

– Director Meyer.

– It’s impossible, you can’t be Addie!

Eva seemed to have lost her mind. She didn’t expect Lyana’s name to be cleared. His voice trembled as he spoke.

“You clearly … you …

– Who is abusing my wife?

A cold voice came from the door.

The temperature in the banquet hall seemed to have dropped a few degrees. Everyone turned towards the door. They saw a man in a well-tailored suit entering the banquet hall, his posture elegant and his steps unhurried.
