Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 175

The next day.

Lambert went to Williams Hospital with Jessica to visit her grandma.

Her grandma saw that they were together, and she knew that something was wrong. But in front of Lambert, it was not the timing to ask her granddaughter what was wrong.

Lambert said, "Grandma, are you feeling better now? The attending doctor just told me that as long as you receive treatment in the hospital, your condition will improve."

Grandma sat on the bed and nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Williams. You care me a lot."

"You're welcome. We are a family after all."

Jessica interrupted Lambert. "Grandma, you should lie down and rest. It's quite energy-consuming to talk constantly. "

She was afraid that Lambert would really mention their marriage to her grandma. She really didn't know what would happen to her grandma after she heard it.

Jessica knew that there would be no chance for her and grandma to be together alone today. She didn't stay there for long and said, "Grandma, the doctor said you need to rest now. You just stay in the hospital. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

Lambert glanced at Jessica, not expecting her to leave so soon.

Since Jessica said those words, he shouldn't stay any longer, so he echoed, "Grandma, whatever you need, just tell Jessica. Take good care of yourself. We'll come to see you next time."

Grandma looked at Lambert and then at Jessica. She had no idea what was going on between them.

'Why does Lambert replace Oliver to come with Jessica to see me?'

She had a lot to ask Jessica, "Jessica, When will you see me again?"

Lambert said, "Grandma, Jessica hasn't been in good health recently. The doctor said that she should rest at home. And the environment in the hospital is a little complicated. I'll arrange a few more nurses to take care of you."

Jessica was angry, but in front of grandma, she had to pretend that nothing had happened. "Yes, grandma, I'll come to see you when my condition stabilizes."

Her grandma frowned when she heard that Jessica was not in good health. "Did you get the same symptoms like mine?"

The doctor once said that her blood disease was a hereditary disease. Jessica was indeed a positive carrier, but her disease was not serious.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Just my abdomen is getting bigger and bigger now. I always feel a little down. I'm afraid of premature rupture of the amniotic fluid. The doctor said that I should lie down more and walk less."

Jessica remembered what she had seen on the Mother and Child Forum. If she got premature rupture of the amniotic fluid, she had to lie on the bed until she gave birth.

It was a reasonable excuse, especially when her grandma knew that she was not in good health.

Jessica's Grandma sat up nervously and held Jessica's hand. "Child, you must take good care of yourself. I can't be by your side now. Don't worry about me. The conditions in the hospital are so good that I don't lack anything."

"Grandma, I'll call you often. The doctor will take care of you."

"You just go." Jessica's Grandma waved her hand and called Lannan, "Go and see them off."

Jessica reluctantly left the ward, walked out the door, and told Lannan to take good care of her grandma. If anything happened, she must call her as soon as possible.

Lannan took them to the elevator.

When David saw Jessica's furtive look, he guessed that something must be wrong. "Say it."

"I want you to help me leave Birmingham," Jessica said. She thought that as long as she was in Birmingham, she would not be able to escape from Lambert. She might as well leave first. Besides, she should use a fake identity to leave, otherwise, she would be found soon.

"Why did you want to leave? Mr. Williams is not completely out of danger yet."

Jessica's heart skipped a beat. "Is he... still not recovered?"

"Well, Mr. Williams is indeed in a lot of trouble and helpless." David recently has been busy helping Oliver.

Although David's words concerned her, Jessica's intellect told her that Oliver had nothing to do with her.

She shouldn't have any emotions. That was the way to respect herself.

From the moment she regained her memory, she and Oliver were strangers.

Jessica took a deep breath and said, "Mr. David, I need a new identity now. Can you get it for me?"

"Are you in trouble?"

Jessica did not dare to tell him that Lambert had trapped her at home and she even had no freedom to go in or out.

Also, David just said that she didn't even receive his call. It must be because of Lambert. He must be playing tricks so that she even didn't know there was a call.
