Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 124

The crowd stepped back, and Oliver walked straight in with his long legs.

He saw Jessica standing in the lounge, next to a reporter with a camera.

Oliver snapped. "Alice, what are you doing?"

Jessica turned around and asked softly, "Oliver, why are you here?"

Oliver pulled her to his side.

Wendy had not come back to her senses from the awkwardness just now, and she was confused again.

Not only was she confused, but Alice was also at a loss. She didn't expect that the person Jessica fell in love with was Oliver.

Now the two of them were right in front of everyone, holding hands, completely ignoring the crowd around them.

Alice said, "Oliver, I didn't mean to."

Jessica said to Oliver in a low voice, "Mr. Zamani is not in good health. He almost fainted on the ground just now. I brought him to his room to rest. He has taken the first-aid medicine. Go and take a look."

She pulled Oliver to Henry, who was lying on the sofa.

Henry's eyes were half-closed, and his expression was very painful. He kept moaning, probably in great pain.

"Have you called an ambulance?"

"I just contacted his doctor. He should be here soon."

Oliver asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

In order to give Henry a quiet place to rest, Oliver asked the others to leave and said to Alice, "Stay here and take good care of your grandfather. Wait for the doctor to come. Call me if you need anything."

After that, he dragged Jessica downstairs.

Wendy didn't follow the crowd downstairs. She pulled Alice aside and kept apologizing.

Then Alice asked her to leave first.

Because she was preoccupied with her grandfather's illness.

Downstairs, Oliver took Jessica to a less crowded place and sat down in a comfortable chair.

"Are you tired? Let's go back first." Oliver said, "And call me in case of an emergency in the future."

Oliver had just heard that Jessica had dragged Henry into the lounge.

She was pregnant and wearing high heels. Oliver was afraid that something bad would happen to her.

"It's okay. I don't need to socialize. I was just looking around and happened to meet Mr. Zamani... He knew my name and probably knew me. It was a time of emergency. He asked me to go to his room to get the medicine for him. Before I could think of anything else, I had to drag him into the room first."

"I don't mean to blame you. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

"Okay." As soon as she sat down, she didn't want to get up again and readily agreed.

Soon, Oliver brought two plates over. He specially added a lamb chop and a lot of vegetable salad to Jessica's plate.

They sat there, eating and drinking, chatting and laughing as if they were on a date.

At this moment, Wendy came over with Scott.

"Mr. Williams, why are you hiding here?" Scott said.

"My wife is tired. So we take a rest here and have something to eat."

"It's okay. I don't care." Jessica said.

"Miss Zamani is just too excited and wants to embarrass you. I've stopped her."

Jessica asked, "Why did she want to embarrass me?"

"I don't have any friends here in Birmingham and I'm familiar with her most. She just told me something about your past, so I..."

Wendy wanted to put all the blame on Alice.

Jessica felt a little funny. Wendy really thought too much about the problem. She might usually meet complicated things or complicated people.

She didn't really care about what happened just now. She just didn't want to make friends with someone like her.

"I forgive you." It seemed that she would not continue to talk until Jessica was completely clear.

Soon, Oliver came back, followed by two old friends.

Martin and Sally came over together.

"Mrs. Williams, I'm here." Sally saw Jessica and ran over to tease her.

When Jessica saw Sally, she became more active. "Come and sit down."

Wendy stood up and said, "Miss Saletta, nice to meet you again."

"Oh, Miss Wackerle, do you adapt to the life in Birmingham?" Sally asked.

"I didn't like it very much when I first came here. Fortunately, Mr. Scott had been with me at the beginning and we had visited a lot of places, which made me familiar with here. Now I'm quite used to it."

Sally rolled her eyes in her heart and thought Wendy was a fake person. The truth was not like what Wendy said. Sally really disliked her bad acting.
