Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 195

In Birmingham.

In the evening, Jessica returned to the familiar place.

The plan that she had prepared for a long time failed.

She was right back where she'd started.

When Jessica arrived at the airport, the first sentence she said was, "I want to stay with my grandma at the hospital tonight."

"Sure." Lambert agreed without saying anything more and asked the driver to send them directly to Williams Hospital.

When Jessica arrived at grandma's ward, the nurse was giving her an IV.

She walked over and said in a choking voice, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

Jessica knew that her departure must have been a huge blow to her grandma, but her grandma should know that she would come back to visit her after a while.

Her grandma held Jessica tightly with her wrinkled hands. "Why are you back? I'm fine. I just have a relapse."

Her grandma's voice was weak. Jessica was very regretful. Perhaps it was a wrong choice to leave.

If she had stayed in Birmingham, her grandma might not have relapsed.

"Grandma, have a good rest. I'll talk to the doctor and stay here with you tonight."

Then Jessica went to meet her grandma's attending doctor.

Lambert followed her and advised, "It's late now. The doctor may have left. I'll ask him to see you tomorrow."

At this moment, Jessica couldn't help but feel the blood rushing into her head. Seeing her grandma lying there weakly made her mind whirl.

"Lambert, be honest with me. Why did my grandma suddenly get sick?" She asked, glaring at Lambert.

"Grandma wanted to see you but you were not around, so she got anxious. You know that she can't bear any mood swings now," Lambert explained, "I dropped by this morning and found her in bad condition, so I immediately called the doctor. Fortunately, she got treated in time or it would be catastrophic."

Without getting a satisfying answer, Jessica strode straight to the doctor's office.

Sure enough, the doctor had already left.

Jessica looked back at Lambert and said sarcastically, "You can go home. You don't have to follow me. I'm not able to run away from you anyway. Actually, you are much better than Oliver, you're much better at controlling people than Oliver."

Lambert didn't take her sarcasm seriously and said serenely, "I'm doing this for your own sake. You're in no condition to stay in that place. The medical conditions are appalling there. If anything happens, both you and the baby will suffer."

Jessica sneered. "Are you more concerned about me or the baby?"

She found that Lambert seemed to care about the baby more than she did.

Lambert actually knew that Jessica was in a bad mood and might collapse at any time, but he'd still forced her back.

"It's our baby. Of course, I'm concerned about the baby, but I'm more worried about your health," Lambert lied effortlessly.

Jessica didn't buy it and returned back to her grandma's ward.

Afraid that any accident would happen again, Lambert left several bodyguards outside the ward.

When Jessica came out to take a walk in the middle of the night, she realized that she was closely guarded and it was impossible to escape.

Her grandma fell asleep after the IV was removed and didn't wake up until midnight.

"Jessica," she called.
