Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband

The old gentleman was a very shrewd person, and Carlotta had stabbed Ethan Barnes in a very vulnerable place, which was a matter concerning the continuation of the Barnes family bloodline.

For the past three years, Ethan Barnes and Carlotta had been in a sham marriage. There were no other women involved, and they hadn’t expanded the Barnes family yet. People like the old gentleman valued offspring very highly.

The doctor whispered, "Mr. Barnes, although we did our best to rescue the general, his injuries are too severe, which may affect his future personal life as well as the continuation of his lineage."

As these words fell, the old gentleman’s heart sank to rock bottom. This was truly a case of fearing what was inevitable.

The old gentleman pondered for a moment and then said, "I understand. I don’t want a third person to know about this matter. Do you understand what I mean?"

The doctor quickly nodded, "I understand, Mr. Barnes."

The old gentleman waved his hand, and the doctor left.

...

Ethan Barnes entered the VIP intensive care unit, his face pale as he lay on the hospital bed, hooked up to an IV drip, and his vital signs were relatively stable.

Danielle stood by the bed, staring unblinkingly at her daddy, "Daddy, hurry up and wake up, you must get better."

Celeste Linden touched Danielle’s little head and then looked at Ethan Barnes, "Danielle, your daddy has heard your voice. Don’t worry, he’ll definitely wake up."

"Okay!"

The old gentleman stood by the door, watching the mother and daughter, a calculating look in his cloudy eyes.

Celeste Linden and Danielle did not go home; instead, they stayed by Ethan Barnes’s side, spending the night at the hospital. In the middle of the night, Celeste Linden fell into a muddled sleep, her exhaustion combined with shock causing her to sleep deeply.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that Danielle was missing.

Where did Danielle go?

Startled, Celeste Linden immediately sat up from the companion bed, "Danielle! Danielle, where are you?"

No one responded to her.

Where did Danielle go, truly strange.

Celeste Linden lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to discover that Ethan Barnes was also missing from the hospital bed.

What’s going on, how could this father and daughter disappear at the same time?

Celeste Linden immediately ran out and found a nurse, "Excuse me, where is the patient in this intensive care unit, and where is my daughter? Have you seen them?"

The nurse had not spoken yet when Butler Holland walked over, "Hello, Miss Linden."

Celeste Linden looked at Butler Holland.

Butler Holland smiled and said, "Miss Linden, there’s no need to worry. Our young master woke up this morning, and our old gentleman took him home."

He actually woke up so soon.

Then he’s not seriously hurt, Celeste Linden breathed a slight sigh of relief, "What about Danielle? Where’s my daughter? Danielle never runs around randomly, did you take her away?"

Butler Holland nodded, "Yes, Miss Linden, we took the young miss."

"Why did you take Danielle away, you..."

"Miss Linden, the young miss is of the Barnes bloodline and should be taken by the Barnes family. There shouldn’t be any problem with this, right?" Butler Holland interrupted Celeste Linden.

Celeste Linden looked at Butler Holland in shock, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to take my Danielle away?"

How dare they?

Danielle is part of her flesh, her life, how could they take Danielle away without even a word?

These people are simply a bunch of thieves!

"Miss Linden, I’m very sorry, but the young miss must return to the Barnes family. She is our young master’s only offspring, so we need to reclaim custody. This check is meant as compensation for you."
