Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 223

It turned out that, after being dumped to the ground, she completely gave up hope of being spared by

Toby.

But the way he treated her, using her as a fire extinguisher to put out the fire, was so hateful. After all,

they had been in love for so long!

In a fit of anger, she picked the lighter on the ground, lit it, and threw it directly to the oil tank.

It was too late for Toby to stop her. That was why there has been an explosion and a sea of fire later.

Tracy was adept at swimming. Although she was injured and there were police behind her,

She forced herself to stand up and jumped into the sea.

Toby found that the situation was out of control so he jumped into the sea as well.

In the midst of the lightning, there was a huge fire on the yacht, followed by a loud roar.

The yacht exploded.

The police in the back came to search and rescue.

When they got closer, they searched carefully and found that there was no one on the yacht. They

guessed that they should have jumped into the water.

Because Tracy's lower body was bleeding, the police quickly followed the blood trace in the water to

find her whereabouts.

Soon, two police officers found the dying Tracy and saved her. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

They made an emergency call and rushed her to the hospital.

The rest of the police continued to search for Toby at sea.

They searched for a long time but didn't find him.

...

In the hospital.

Jessica had already woken up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Oliver sitting by the bed.

Oliver was probably too tired and fell asleep by the bed.

Jessica wanted to sit up. And the rustling sound woke Oliver up.

Oliver became alert and looked up, only to find that Jessica was awake.

Oliver said with concern, "The doctor said that you should stay in bed and not move around."

"How long have I been unconscious?" Jessica asked.

She didn't even know what time it was or where she was now.

"It's only a few hours. Don't worry too much. I'm sorry. I was late there. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in

danger." Oliver said apologetically.

Hearing Oliver said this, Jessica recalled the previous gunfight.

Jessica still had lingering fears.

What had happened before was completely unexpected to her. She did not expect that she had a life-

threatening experience with Oliver again.

If she was not lucky, she might have died!

Fortunately, they were alive and well in the hospital.

Jessica then remembered the injured Tom.

She said, "Didn't Mr. Quinn get hurt? Has the doctor said anything about him? How's he going?"

She felt guilty because she caused Tom to be shot.

"His physical condition is not good now. The medical conditions in this small place are poor. When his

physical condition is stable, I will take him back to Birmingham."

Jessica felt sorry for him.

She thought of her grandma. She was in the hospital and didn't know where she was.

"Where's my grandma? Is she okay?" Jessica asked anxiously.

Oliver said indifferently, "I asked the doctor to bring your grandma to a safe place in advance. Don't

worry."

When Jessica heard that her grandma was fine, she finally felt relieved.

"I want to see Mr. Quinn, can I?" She said.

"You shouldn't get up now," said Oliver. He thought for a while and told Jessica."He's still in a coma and

hasn't woken up yet."

Jessica immediately understood that Tom might have been injured in a vital part. The injury must be

very serious.

Just now, Oliver had been saying that she should stay in bed and not move around.

Jessica didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was just saying some comfort words.

Until the doctor came in and examined her again.

There was an instrument that was used to check the condition of the baby beside Jessica's bed.

She often went to the hospital. She was used to the test, so she didn't feel anything wrong. She only

treated it as a simple test.

Until the doctor, after seeing all the data of her body, said to her, "Miss, you have a premature rupture

of amniotic fluid. So from now on, until you give birth to the child, you can only lie flat, or it will be very

dangerous to you and the child."

Jessica was so scared that her heart skipped a beat.

She didn't expect that premature rupture would happen to her.

Last time when she went to a temple to pray, to escape from Lambert, she deliberately wet her lower

body with the bottled water she had prepared.

She pretended to have a premature rupture of amniotic fluid so that Amy and Annie were frightened

and took her to Martin's hospital.

Only then could she escape easily.

She didn't expect the trick she played last time to come true now.

Jessica thought that after leaving Lambert, she was finally free. She had long wanted to go outside to

breathe fresh air and live a free life with her grandma.

But things went contrary to her wishes.

She was trapped in the hospital again.

At that moment, she was very depressed.

Oliver saw her disappointed expression and comforted her. "Don't worry. When we get back to

Birmingham, I'll find you the best doctor. Maybe there will be a better treatment plan."

Jessica forced a smile. She just could not get up now. She was still alive.

Living in the hospital, she could at least be with her grandma.

"Thank you. I'm fine." She said politely.

After the examination, the doctor gave a few more instructions and left the ward.

At this time, only Oliver and Jessica were left in the ward.

For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

When the doctor was here just now, there was one more person present. It was not so awkward to say

some caring words.

The last time they met, because of the time limit and urgent situation, they didn't explain to each other

a lot. But they believed that they would be understood as if they could communicate without words.

Now, they were face to face, but they were like familiar strangers.

The past surged into her mind.

The bad things, the good things, were as if just happened. They were so vivid.

Jessica knew that Oliver was kind to her in some aspects.

But he was cruel to her in other aspects. They couldn't be even.

Jessica said to Oliver indifferently, "Go back and rest. I'll be fine with the doctor's care."

When she saw Oliver's dark circles, she knew that he hadn't been resting well recently.

What's more, after such a big accident, he needed to clean up the mess at this time, not spend the

most precious time in her ward.

"Before you woke up, I had already rested," said Oliver indifferently.
