Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 275

Just as they saw that Jessica was getting better, she fell into another deadlock.

Why Oliver did treat her and her child like that?

If she hadn't become a person without identity in Birmingham, she would like to ask him about what

happened that night. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, if she went back now, she would destroy everything the Kim family had done in Birmingham

for her.

Jessica's heart was tangled.

She also had strong mood swings between negative and positive.

Even she herself couldn't control her emotions at all.

After the accident, Jessica returned to her state before and locked herself in her room every day. She

ate very little of the food that the servants delivered her.

Seeing Jessica lose weight day by day, Gavin could no longer pretend to be out of the way.

He discussed with Barbara and decided to tell Jessica the truth.

It was also a hair of the dog.

If Jessica continued to be depressed and missed the critical treatment period, it would be very difficult

for her to fully recover.

Lucas agreed with Gavin's decision.

They just needed timing.

Gavin took out all the photos of Emily he had and asked the secretary to enlarge and print them.

Then, he moved Emily's album, "The Rose", which he had been keeping in the study, to the living

room, and played it to Jessica during dinner.

One day.

Jessica wanted to take a walk outside.

Lucas secretly followed her when he saw her go downstairs, mainly because he was afraid that she

would do something to hurt herself.

The courtyard of the Kim family was large, and rockery and stream were specially designed inside.

It would be difficult to find her immediately if she disappeared in it.

When Jessica went downstairs, she felt something changed in the living room.

Although she didn't go downstairs many times, she was good at memory. As long as she saw it once,

she could feel the difference.

She was just temporarily in a bad mood, so she reacted slowly.

Lucas used his phone to turn on the LP player.

Just as Jessica was about to walk out, a pleasant voice came from the player.

Jessica stopped.

She was familiar with the song. When she was in Birmingham, she had seen grandma listening to it at

home.

Back then, when grandma saw Jessica at the door and listened carefully, she turned it off.

As if she was hiding something. At that time, Jessica thought it was an adult's secret and did not take it

to heart.

When she heard the song again, it was in Lucas's car. At that time, Lucas had been playing it all the

way from Delft to Amsterdam.

Unexpectedly, she heard it here for the third time.

Only this time she felt particularly empathetic. She could no longer return to Birmingham.

The place where she grew up.

She was even more unfilial. In the end, she didn't go to grandma's funeral, but let the man she hated

the most go for her.

Sadly, there was no place for her in such a big Birmingham. Someone wanted her to die.

Jessica's tears kept flowing like a floodgate.

She leaned against the door and slowly slid down.

Lucas saw that Jessica's thin body was about to fall to the ground. He went up to hold her.

He dragged her to the sofa.

Gavin saw all these but he didn't dare to come out. He was afraid that Jessica would be even more

embarrassed to see him.

Lucas took a tissue to wipe Jessica's tears. She took it and said, "I'm sorry, I've been causing you

trouble."

Apologize was the first thing she said when she was willing to speak.

This was the truest thought of her.

It was the Kim family who provided her with a place to live and cared for her in all aspects. She couldn't

repay.

"Jessica, don't say that. Father and I just want you to live a good life and not be tied down by what

happened before."

Jessica nodded.

She said slowly, "I can't keep dragging you down. I want to leave here."

Lucas did not expect that Jessica would want to go out even in this situation.

She was unfamiliar with this place, and language was a problem. She didn't know any Dutch.

"You haven't fully recovered. You can't leave yet." Lucas said.

Jessica knew that she hated even himself in her present state. How could she enjoy the care from the

Kim family?

She didn't deserve it.

She would rather beg outside than implicate them.

After a while, Gavin came out of the study and took a painting.

Jessica knew that she had lost her composure before. She immediately stood up and called out,

"Uncle."

When Gavin heard Jessica call him uncle, his heart softened.

He was uneasy just now, but he suddenly relaxed completely.

But he didn't know how to respond. So he just nodded and forced a smile.

Perhaps, he had always been serious due to his work habits over the years.

Lucas didn't be like him at all.

It seemed that her condition had improved.

Gavin brought the painting to Jessica, and Lucas was also surprised. He did not expect that Gavin

would buy a painting back.

Jessica could tell at a glance that the painting was heavily colored and was Van Gogh's work.

She said faintly, "Uncle, do you like Van Gogh?"

"This is for you. I didn't know much about art. I happened to meet it at the auction, so I took it. Lucas is

not interested in art at all. I just heard from him that you liked it, so it was best to give it to you." Gavin

said lightly.

Jessica did not expect that he would send such a valuable painting to her.

It was obvious that if the painting was bought at the auction, the premium of it was very high.

"Thank you for your kindness. I can't accept it." Jessica refused.

"You hang it in your room first. The starry sky in it is so beautiful. If it accompanies you, you won't be

too lonely." Lucas persuaded.

Jessica did not want to hang the painting in her room no matter what.

In the end, they had to hang it in the living room.

So that everyone could see it when they walked in and out.
