Chapter 456

When Alyssa woke up the next day, she was stunned to find herself at home in Belbanks.

“Did I teleport in my sleep?” She cried, pinching her own face.

She felt the pinch. She wasn’t dreaming. She really was home!

“If you can teleport, then I’m psychic,” Colene teased, walking into the room with Mandy.

They were

thrilled to see Alyssa well and awake. “How’s your stomach now, dear?”

Mandy sat down beside her bed, cupping her cheek. “You’ve lost weight! Have you been

overworking

yourself?”

Colene cried, eyes red with unshed tears, “You should just stay home and never set foot in

that godawful

city, Lyse!

“Why throw yourself to the sharks like this when you can enjoy all the finest things in the

world? We’re all

at your beck and call here!

“Heck, if you want to try alligator meat, I’d skin my Bobo and make sashimi of him for

you!” A

Alyssa giggled. “I’m no picky eater, Colene, but raw reptile is a bit out of my league.”

“You know how Colene can be when she’s trying to express her love,” Mandy cooed.

Mandy continued, “You should be taking better care of yourself too. How could I ever face

your mother

like this?

“She begged us to make sure you live happily and free of worry, not whatever torture

you’re being put

through.”

“It’s just gastritis, guys.” Alyssa shook her head.

Colene’s eyes widened. “Just gastritis? Do you have any idea how worried we were

whenever you got

even the slightest cough when you were a child?”

“Lyse, your father hasn’t slept at all since you fell sick last night. He’s still in bed, waiting

for you to recover. He hasn’t had a bite of breakfast thus far,” Mandy said with a sigh.

Winston was certainly stubborn.

“What? He can’t do that!” Alyssa immediately sat up in bed, all sluggishness leaving her

body. “I’ll get him to eat right now! I’ll pry open his mouth and get that food in!

All of a sudden, a question came to mind. “Wait. How… How did I come home last night?”

“Jonah carried you home

Of course. Jonah’s brotherly love was always at maximum level.

Colene tilted her head. “He didn’t seem too happy when he came home, though. I rarely

see him that

upset. Do you know what happened?”

Alyssa pursed her lips. “Of course not. I wouldn’t dare rub him off the wrong way. You two

know that.”

“Ah, I see. So that means someone else pissed him off,” Mandy and Colene assumed.

Alyssa stretched her stiff body and got out of bed. “Whatever. I’m going to go check on

Winston.”

Winston was in his study, his thoughts deep and heavy, a sad sigh escaping him. Pain

pierced his heart as

he recalled how unwell Alyssa had been the previous night.

“Have you seen the media, Mr. Taylor? Everyone has been praising and complimenting Ms.

Alyssa, proclaiming her immense skill and talent.”

Neil tried his best to make Winston feel better.

“Immense skill and talent? She’s up to no good, that one!” Winston slammed a hand on

the couch.

He continued, “What’s so wrong with just being my daughter? She can eat and live

luxuriously here, yet all she wants is to raise trouble after trouble for herself!”

Lyla’s eyes widened in shock. “D-Did you know about Alyssa’s secret identity from the

start, Winston?”

“Of course I did! I know her like the back of my hand-save that she married that Beckett

boy.”

When did his chubby, sweet little daughter become such an uncontrollable, outspoken

woman?

“You should be proud of Alyssa,” Lyla said softly, “Winston, she’s a globally acclaimed

jewelry designer.

“The queen of Yoarkley herself dons her jewelry at royal gatherings. Even both Mandy and

Colene have declared it a source of pride and glory that will endure for generations to

come.”

Winston massaged his aching temples. “I am proud of her, Lyla. I’m just worried she might

be too rash and end up making enemies.

“People are more complicated nowadays. What if someone starts scheming behind her

back? It’d be too

Just then, Alyssa opened the door and walked in.

“Let me see which old man is being defiant here… If you don’t go and have breakfast right

now, I’m

opening your treasure vault and donating everything inside to charity!”

Lyla hurriedly went up to her. “Are you feeling better now, Lyse?”
