Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 164

"That's different." Jessica said, "Please go back."

"I'll give you time to think about it."

After Lambert finished speaking, he left.

Jessica saw grandma walking this way and went up to help her.

Grandma saw Lambert. "Jessica, why is he here? Where's Oliver?"

"Grandma, Oliver has nothing to do with me anymore. Please don't ask." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Her grandma sometimes saw that Jessica was alone and sad, so she mentioned Oliver a few times.

She felt really sorry for them.

"Your grandma is getting old and confused. Don't blame me."

Jessica smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and try the dessert I made for you. See if you like them."

She had nothing to do at home, so she bought a cookbook and began to learn how to make snacks.

She began to prepare for the food after the child was born.

Lambert did not come to see her again.

Jessica thought that besides recuperating, there was still a lot of work for him to do. He should be too

busy to think about anything else.

Therefore, no one came to disturb her.

Jessica gradually got used to such a peaceful life and cherished the days with her grandma.

Suddenly, one day, Jessica received a call from Williams Hospital.

The doctor told her that all the physical examination reports that her grandma had done before she left

the hospital had come out. There were several data that were not very good, so she had to go back to

the hospital for further examination.

Jessica thought that her grandma's illness had been cured, but unexpectedly, bad news came again.

She immediately took a taxi to Williams Hospital to ask her grandma's attending doctor about her

condition.

The doctor told her that she still needed to take her grandma to the hospital and check her blood data

to see if there were any changes to determine the next treatment plan.

Jessica had no choice but to bring her grandma to the hospital for a checkup.

Jessica was anxiously waiting for her grandma's examination results after she came home. The doctor

informed her that she had to reschedule grandma's hospitalization.

She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She didn't know how to speak to her grandmother. She

was afraid that if her grandma knew the truth, she would not be able to take it. The old people couldn't

stand such torment.

Jessica came up with an excuse that didn't seem very reasonable. In the end, she had to say that it

was because the environment at home was not good enough for the patient to recuperate.

Her grandma didn't ask much. Everything was arranged by Jessica.

After everything was settled, Jessica began to worry about her grandma's medical expenses. There

was not much money left last time.

The cost in Williams Hospital was quite big, and it had to be here to treat her grandma's illness.

In her current situation, there was no way for her to make money, and the huge expenses after the

child were born. All these things combined, Jessica was sleepless.

After her grandmother was hospitalized, she had been in the hospital with her grandma.

Unexpectedly, Lambert went to the hospital with a fruit basket to visit them.

When he arrived, there were several doctors behind him, who said they were experts hired for her

grandma to help with the follow-up.

Jessica stood up, quickly greeted the doctors, and thanked Lambert.

After the doctors left, Lambert talked to her grandma for a while.

Jessica said, "Grandma, Mr. Williams is very busy. I'll show him out first."

Grandma said, "Okay, don't forget to thank him."

Neither of them spoke in the corridor until they reached the elevator door. Jessica said softly, "Thank

you for your kindness. But we can't afford such kindness. Mr.Williams, please don't come over again."

Jessica helped Oliver press the elevator switch.

"Do I put pressure on you?"

"It's not about the pressure. We're just ordinary patients in the hospital. I can't thank you enough for not

stopping us from coming to the hospital. It's just that we'd better keep the cost under control. There are

a lot of people in the hospital who know us, so as not to let others gossip and bring bad influence to

you."

"I can do these things for you openly."

Before Lambert could finish speaking, the elevator door opened.

Jessica never expected that she would meet Oliver in this way.

He walked out of the elevator with a sense of coldness around him.

He didn't even look at Lambert. He went up and grabbed Jessica's hand. "Let's go."

Jessica struggled to break free. "Let me go."

Oliver's deep eyes stared at her without any concessions.

Lambert said, "Didn't you hear her? She told you to let go."

"Shut up. There's no need for you to talk here." Oliver glanced at Lambert.

"Aren't you hurting her enough? Since she has left you, maybe you should stop bothering her."

Oliver's throat tightened. "Jessica, come down with me. I have something to talk to you about."

"Let go of my hand first."

Oliver let go of her hand and saw a red mark on Jessica's wrist. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I don't feel any pain at all." Jessica said, "I just want you both to stay away from me."

Oliver said, "I'm sorry. Please listen to me. I'll leave after that."

"You can't even deal with your own situation now, so don't bother her again," Lambert said.

What Lambert said was that Oliver was still under investigation. Now he came here by himself, it must

not be allowed. He must have used other means to run out.

Just as the three of them were at a standstill, a uniformed man appeared in the elevator and took Oliver

away.

Jessica turned away. She didn't want to meet Oliver's eyes.

The way he looked at her, like a knife cutting through her skin, brought too much pain to her.

Lambert approached Jessica. "I'll send someone to protect you from him."

Jessica covered her eyes and said, "No need. I just hope you and your people stay away from me."

"I'm not just doing it for you, but for the baby in your belly."

Jessica looked at Lambert with her red eyes. Thinking that he knew that the child in her stomach was

his.

Her eyes were filled with fear. "What do you mean?"

The last time he showed her kindness, Jessica thought he was trying to help her find the father of the

baby.

Lambert took out a dozen documents from his briefcase. Jessica could tell at a glance that it was the

hotel's surveillance video, and the person in the video could clearly be recognized that it was Lambert.

There were also some news reports in dutch that were printed out. There were photos of Lambert and

his works of traditional painting on them. It was obvious that they were at the opening of the exhibition.

The date shown above was the same as the date from Jessica to Holland.
