My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 154 Daughter of the Green Family âCynthia, whatâs wrong?â Alice came out of the bathroom. She washed her face and was sober. When she saw Cynthia looking at the entrance of the corridor with a complicated look, she asked.
âNothing. I just met a person.â Cynthia withdrew her gaze and looked at Aliceâs face full of water stains. She took out a tissue and wiped the water stains on Aliceâs face.
âIâve asked Greg to start the car. Iâll send you home later. Donât go out to drink at night. If anything happens, youâll regret it.â
Cynthia scolded Alice. If Alice hadnât called her this time and got drunk alone in the bar, something might have happened to her in such a disordered place.
Alice was moved. She held Cynthiaâs arm and leaned on her shoulder, âYou are so good to me. I know. I wonât do that again.â
The two of them went out hand in hand, only to find that the car had been parked at the door. Beside Greg stood Alston, who was about to come in. When he saw the two women come out, he hurried forward with a cold face.
âAlice Gehry, are you out of your mind? You are drunk alone at night and let Cynthia come here. Donât you know that Cynthia has been pregnant for nearly seven months, and she has twins, which are more dangerous than ordinary pregnant women? Itâs so messy here. If anything happens to her, can you take the responsibility?â
It was the first time that Alston had been so serious to Alice. Alice felt regretful. She was not sober at that time, and the only person she could remember was Cynthia, so she called Cynthia subconsciously. Only when she woke up from alcohol did she feel a little regretful. If Cynthia was injured by someone here, not to mention Alston, even she would not forgive herself.
âIâm sorry, Alston. Iâm sorry. Itâs all my fault. I drank too much. I was not sober and didnât think so much. Sorry.â
She lowered her head with a guilty look on her face. Cynthia tried to mediate, âI came here myself. She is a young girl, and Iâm also worried about her...â
Before she finished her words, Alston glared at her and said, âhow dare you say that? She is a young girl, and what are you? You are pregnant, and you dare to come here alone.â
âGreg is here.â Cynthia muttered in a low voice. After being glared at by Alston again, she dared not say anything. She stood next to Alice quietly. The two lowered their heads and seriously apologized.
Alston was angry and amused. He had to let them get in the car.
As soon as they got into the car, Alston held Cynthia in his arms. Suddenly, he smelled the smell of blood from her body, and his face changed greatly. He hurriedly asked, âCynthia, are you injured? Why is there the smell of blood on your body?â
He was so nervous that he checked whether there was any wound on her and asked Greg to drive her to the hospital.
âItâs not the blood on my body. I just met a man. He accidentally touched me. I smelled the blood on his body. Maybe I got the blood accidentally at that time.â
Hearing this, Alston didnât feel relieved. Instead, he was nervous. What kind of person would have the smell of blood on his body? Fortunately, the man didnât do anything to Cynthia, or he would be hopeless.
Alice didnât expect that Cynthia had just encountered such a dangerous thing, and she was even more regretful. Meanwhile, the sadness in her heart was eased a lot.
Alstonâs hands were trembling. He still asked Greg to send them to the hospital. After a thorough examination, he was relieved to find that both the mother and the child were fine.
The next day, when Cynthia went to the hospital to see her mother, Lorenz happened to be there, too. When she was cutting fruit, she suddenly remembered the mysterious man she met last night. She asked casually, âMom, cousin, do you know the George family in Coast City?â
When Lynn heard this, the fruit in her hand fell to the ground. Her face turned pale, and she was panicking. Even Lorenz looked serious and tense.
Cynthia was stunned, âWhat... Whatâs wrong?â
âCynthia, have you seen anyone from the George family?â Lynn stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She was so nervous that she didnât even find she grabbed Cynthiaâs hand so tightly. âDid they say anything to you?â
Cynthia realized that she had said something wrong, so she quickly added, âMom, donât worry. I donât see anyone from the George family. I just heard others talk about them when I went out with Alice, so I asked casually.â
Lynn felt relieved and loosened her hand, but she still looked a little upset.
After a while, Cynthia was pulled out by Lorenz, who had been silent all the time in the room.
With a serious look on his face, he said, âCynthia, tell me the truth. Have you met the person from the George family?â
Cynthia was about to tell him the same answer but was interrupted by him, âdonât lie to me. Itâs much more serious than you think.â
After a short pause, Cynthia didnât dare to hide anything. With a slight relief on Lorenzâs face, he said, âso, you didnât tell him your identity.â
âYes,â Cynthia nodded. âThe corridor is dark, and we havenât even seen each otherâs faces clearly. Before he left, he told me his name is Cain George, and I heard those people who hunted him called him Mr. George.â
Lorenz was thinking of something.
Cynthia asked carefully, âLorenz, who are they? Why did you and mother act so strange when you heard about it?â
Hearing her question, Lorenz sighed, âdo you know why your mother came to Fort?â
âShe just wanted to run away from the wedding!â She had heard of it from Lynn.
Lorenz nodded and said, âYes. At that time, the George family forced her to get engaged to the son of the George family, Edward George, because old Mr. George saved your grandfather.â
Cynthia suddenly realized that no wonder her mother would react so strangely when she heard the George family.
âAt that time, Edward Georgeâs reputation was very bad. His relationships with women were chaotic, and he didnât care about the family business. He used the money of his family to indulge himself in drinking and playing everywhere. He was a b*stard. Of course, your mother wouldnât marry him. After she escaped from the marriage, the George family had made trouble for us several times. Your grandfather had to offer them a project. Then they finally stopped.â
âThen the Green family and the George family have nothing to do with each other now. Why are you still so serious?â Cynthia was confused.
Lorenz looked at her with a complicated look and said, âafter Edward took over the family, the George family declined a lot.
Fortunately, his son is somehow capable. A few years ago, he brought his illegitimate son home. The internal strife of the George family is very serious now. That illegitimate son is the person you met last night called Cain George!â
âAh!â Cynthia covered her mouth in surprise with her eyes wide open. What a coincidence!
With a sigh, Lorenz touched her head and said, âdo you know why I donât tell the family the news that I have found you?â
Cynthia shook her head.
âLast year, Edward George passed away. But he left his last words. Whoever marries the daughter of the Green family will get all the shares of the George family.â
Cynthia was really shocked, âisnât there only one daughter in the Green family? Mother is their elder. How is that possible?â
Lorenz knocked on her forehead and said, âyou are so silly. You are also the daughter of the Green family!â
âMe?â Cynthia pointed at herself in surprise. Lorenz nodded. She was amused and said, âIâm married and pregnant. My husband is Alston Smith. How can I marry someone else?â
Lorenz kept a serious face. âSo what? In order to get the shares, the two sons of the George family will do whatever they can to marry the daughter of the Green clan. If they canât, they will have to fight. If they know your identity, they will try their best to make you leave Alston.â
âItâs ridiculous!â Cynthia touched her belly nervously and couldnât believe it.
Lorenz was not surprised at all. The George family had done more ridiculous things than this.
After being stunned for a while, Cynthia suddenly grabbed Lorenzâs sleeve. With horror in her eyes, she said in panic, âSince they are in Fort now, does it mean they have known that mom and I are here?â
âPerhaps. The George family is located in Coast City. They come here from far away. Itâs impossible for them to explore the market here like what the Green family does. They must have found you here.â
After Lorenz finished his words, Cynthia became more nervous. âThen, what should I do? I have to tell Alston about it.â
âNow the most important thing is to figure out one thing!â Lorenzâs eyes turned cold, âI have never sent back the news about you.
Alston and I also stopped the news from being exposed. Where did they get the news?â
