My Substitute CEO Bride

At this time, Peter was reminded of Nash once again. It broke his heart even

more.

Nash, a Drakonian, had some form of trust in him, but his so-called relatives found no reason to believe in him at all.

The protection his family talked about was to prevent Peter from experiencing anything related to the past.

However, the more they tried to keep Peter away, the angrier he became. Peter was obviously capable, but why did no one believe in him?

Nakasha was finally moved as she looked at the indignant Peter. She knew that no matter how many words she said, it would just rub salt into his wounds.

What Peter wanted was the truth-the truth that these people now stood for. Nakasha told him about Banjo's past with Dusvad.

Banjo was the youngest son, and there was about a 20-year age gap between him and Dusvad. That was the reason Dusvad chose to spare Banjo's life when he finally ascended the throne.

In Dusvad's eyes, Banjo was his little brother whom he could trust. There was a big age difference between the two, so Banjo posed no threat at that time. Just like that, the two became each other's last surviving family members.

Time flew by so fast, and 20 years passed in the blink of an eye. Banjo had grown up.

During this period, Dusvad and his queen, Amaya, gave birth to three princes and two princesses. However, the good times did not last long.

One year, a contagious infectious disease broke out across Sand Country. The infection spread throughout the land. Suddenly, the people of Sand Country were in a dire situation.

Dusvad had been trying his best to strengthen healthcare and develop a vaccine as fast as possible. However, the plans would take time.

The virus spread at an alarming rate. Even the princes and princesses were infected one after another. The people of Sand Country could no longer wait.

There was a riot in Sand Country, with the people accusing Dusvad of inaction, but what else could he do?noveldrama

As a last-ditch effort, Dusvad resorted to violence to quell the chaos while suppressing the situation as much as possible. However, the seeds of resentment had already been sown in the hearts of the people.

At this critical moment, Dusvad was surprised to learn that Amaya, who had been

in contact with her sick children, was miraculously not infected. This suddenly gave him renewed hope.

However, Amaya was still pregnant with a son and was about to give birth. She simply could not withstand extensive medical experiments.

Nevertheless, she was committed to solving the sufferings of her people. She resolutely went to the laboratory for blood sampling every day despite being heavily pregnant.

The consequences of her commitment were obvious. Amaya's health took a nosedive and worsened over time. Even the baby inside her body was affected.

Dusvad was furious. He forcefully prohibited Amaya from entering the laboratory again.

However, Amaya refused to give up. She believed that she could save the people of Sand Country, so she contacted Banjo.

At the time, Banjo was working in the National Medical Department. Amaya contacted him in hopes that she could rely on the National Medical Department to conduct a new round of experiments.

Banjo was deeply moved when he saw how exhausted Amaya looked. He tried to dissuade Amaya several times, hoping that she would give birth to the child first and nurse herself back to health before conducting further experiments.

However, Amaya objected and said, "Millions of people are suffering now. Since I can save them, I'll use my last bit of strength. Please, Banjo, you must help me! All this is for the people of Sand Country!"

Banjo could not look into Amaya's eyes because he knew that he simply could not refuse her request.

Amaya was selfless, but...
