LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

For seven long years, the woman lying unconscious in the hospital bed could somehow sense her surroundings. People like Deborah Forrest and Mildred Clayborne would talk to her from time to time. Dion Chester would also sit by her bedside and chat with her as far back as he could remember. However, the voice she longed to hear belonged to the man who had stolen her heart seven years ago, the man she had decided to devote everything to. This man was Jun Chester.

Now that she had finally awakened, the man she had been waiting for appeared before her eyes. A mix of emotions overwhelmed her, and she was unable to speak. She was afraid that this was all a dream, and that once he knew the truth, he would leave her. The woman’s real name was Lyvia Harding, and she was Bella’s cousin.

When she was young, her parents had been ostracized by the Harding family, and she had been kidnapped by traffickers not long after her birth. It wasn’t until she was fifteen that the Harding family found her again. When she returned, she learned that her parents had died in a car accident. At that time, Lyvia was treated like a Cinderella, always being bossed around like a servant by the Harding family.

Bella had always looked down on Jun Chester. She had only spent time with him due to an arranged marriage since in their childhood. In Bella’s eyes, Jun Chester was nothing more than a foolish boy obsessed with cultivation. She did not want her future husband to be a simple-minded, muscular fool. So, she had her cousin Lyvia pretend to be her and stay by Jun Chester’s side.

Although Lyvia had hidden many things from Jun Chester, none of them could be considered deceitful. If not for her difficult childhood, she would have been the one to marry Jun Chester as they grew up. She was worthy of that identity! Despite all the obstacles, it seemed as if their marriage was destined.

As their eyes met, Jun Chester’s thoughts were also complicated. After a while, he asked, “What is your name?” Lyvia wanted to answer, but because of her seven-year coma, she found that she couldn’t speak a word. Although she couldn’t speak, she noticed a salty, metallic taste in her mouth. Soon, she realized that she had bitten Jun Chester’s arm.

When she saw the shocking bite marks on Jun Chester’s arm, Lyvia’s tears flowed. She gently touched the area around his wound, her eyes filled with pain. Deborah Forrest and Mildred Clayborne were both shocked and overjoyed at the sight.

“She’s awake!”

“She really woke up!” Deborah rushed forward to check Lyvia’s pulse.

Apart from a fast heartbeat, everything else seemed normal. It was a medical miracle!

Mildred Clayborne, with a trembling voice, said to Jun Chester, “Let me bandage your wound.” But Jun Chester seemed not to hear her. He kept staring at Lyvia without blinking and repeated, “What is your name?” Lyvia raised her hand to touch his face. Although she couldn’t speak, did they really need any words at this moment?

Mildred Clayborne sighed as she looked at Lyvia and said to Jun Chester, “Her name is Lyvia, Bella’s cousin. The person you saw seven years ago was her.” Jun Chester’s heart jolted, and he almost cried. He looked at Dion Chester, who was still asleep on the couch, and couldn’t help but ask, “Then he…” Mildred Clayborne said, “Lyvia’s son. I don’t know if he’s related to you.”

Jun Chester was just about to say something when Lyvia, lying in the hospital bed, suddenly looked at Dion Chester. She immediately sat up, wanting to take a closer look. Jun Chester did not stop her. With unsteady steps, Lyvia got out of bed and stumbled over to Dion Chester’s side. When she saw Dion Chester sleeping soundly, her face filled with panic.

Jun Chester approached her and said, “He’s just asleep.” Lyvia’s body trembled as she embraced Dion Chester, quietly sobbing. Joy and sorrow! As a mother, she hadn’t seen her child or spoken a word to him since giving birth to him seven years ago. She was filled with guilt.

Holding Dion Chester, Lyvia tried to speak but found herself unable to utter a single word, as if she had lost her voice. Mildred Clayborne looked at Deborah Forrest, puzzled, and asked, “Is this… Aphasia?” Deborah Forrest nodded.

Jun Chester forcibly suppressed his emotions and said, “My wife is just too emotional. She’ll be fine after a while.” My wife? Upon hearing these two words, Lyvia’s heart trembled, but she didn’t dare to look at Jun Chester. Mildred Clayborne was equally astonished. She never expected that Jun Chester would acknowledge Lyvia as his wife. But on second thought, it seemed reasonable. If not for all the twists and turns, wouldn’t she have been Jun Chester’s wife?

When she saw what was happening, Deborah Forrest immediately gestured to Mildred Clayborne and said, “Let’s leave them for a while and give them some space.” Mildred Clayborne expressed her concern, “But his injuries…” Deborah Forrest looked at Jun Chester with a complex expression. She had just noticed that the wound on Jun Chester’s wrist was healing at a visible rate, much faster than a normal person’s. It was truly mind-blowing!

Only then did Mildred Clayborne notice that Jun Chester’s wound had already scabbed over, her eyes widening in surprise. However, the two women didn’t say anything more and quickly left the hospital room. At that moment, a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Lyvia, with a frosty expression, entered the hospital lobby. It was Bella.

Compared to seven years ago, she had matured into a stunningly elegant woman. She looked even more refined and prouder than before. Her hair was piled high, and she wore luxurious clothing. She wore a thin layer of flesh-colored stockings on her slender, shapely legs and limited-edition black high heels. Wherever she went, she caused a sensation.

Bella came to the hospital for Jun Chester. Jun Chester had injured Edric Harding at Chester Fortress, and Wilfrid Chester had passed out because of anger after he met Jun Chester. He should not be allowed in this world! Bella believed Jun Chester would definitely come to the hospital to find Lyvia. She was surprised that the bastard hadn’t died seven years ago! But it didn’t matter. With Master Branden there tonight, the bastard would ultimately end up in the hospital bed, just like that bitch Lyvia.

But as soon as Bella entered the hospital lobby, she was shocked by the scene before her. In fact, it was she who had sent Master Branden over to steal equipment from the hospital. And now, Master Branden, who had once been untouchable in the city, was being dragged out like a dog by a man in military uniform. What was going on?

The man holding Master Branden was Dawson London. When Bella saw his face clearly, she was full of doubt and hurriedly approached him, asking, “You are… you are Dawson London?” Dawson London looked at Bella indifferently and asked, “Who are you?”

Bella hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying, “I am Bella Harding. The last time I saw you, you were just a little boy. I heard that you are now our youngest general. I never thought it would be true!” Dawson London remained silent.

Bella then looked at Master Branden, who was being held by Dawson London, and said with a forced smile, “Dawson, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Branden works for my husband, Wilfrid Chester. Could you let him go, please?”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Dawson London’s mouth. Master Branden couldn’t help but look up at Bella, his eyes filled with terror, and said, “Hurry, hurry up and go upstairs to apologize. This Dawson London is just a soldier under Jun Chester. Jun Chester, Jun Chester is back!”
