Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 194

Just as Jessica walked downstairs, her cell phone rang in her pocket.

She glanced at the phone number. It was another strange number from Birmingham.

Since she happened to notice the call this time, she naturally answered it.

Jessica put the phone between her neck and shoulder. Because the thing she was carrying was too heavy, she had to change her hands to answer the phone.

She said "Hello" and then heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone.

It was undoubtedly Lambert.

"You finally answered the phone." He said.

Jessica was a little flustered. Although Lambert was not in front of her, she could not help but be nervous.

She knew that Lambert would find her one day, but she didn't expect to be found so soon.

As long as he did not follow her to York, she could still escape. She wouldn't go back until the baby was born.

"How do you get my number?" She tried to calm herself down, but her trembling voice betrayed her.

Lambert did not answer her because he got Jessica's phone number by dirty means.

Since nurse Lannan went to the hospital, Lambert knew that Jessica must have contacted Lannan.

So he checked Lannan's recent calls and found a strange phone number, which was undoubtedly Jessica's.

He had called her several times the night before but the line was busy all the time. He thought he had the wrong number and wanted to bring Lannan over to ask her directly.

He tried again this morning, but he got through to her.

Lambert said coldly, "You really want to leave me,?"

"Yes. So please let me go."

"Aren't you worried about your grandma?"

Jessica could tell that Lambert was threatening her.

However, she was no longer afraid of him because she knew that her grandma was still in Williams Hospital and everything was fine.

"Of course, I'm worried about her, but she will understand my decision." Jessica retorted. She didn't want Lambert to control her emotions.

"Really? Aren't you afraid that your grandma's condition will worsen? If anything happens, you will regret it."

Jessica said, "If you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up. I don't have time to talk to you so much now."

"Why don't you ask me where I am now?" Lambert said gloomily.

"I'm not interested in it."

Then Jessica heard Lambert walking around, and someone called him Mr. Williams.

She also heard someone calling doctors and nurses as if they were preparing for an operation.

Lambert sneered. "Before the operation, do you want to talk to your grandma?"

"Lambert, what did you do to her?"

Jessica suddenly had an ominous presentiment. Something must have happened to her again.

The bag in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and things were scattered all over the ground.

Jessica looked solemn. Tears welled up in her red eyes.

A kind passer-by helped her pick things up and pack them.

Jessica bent down slowly and slumped on the ground.

There were more people coming and going in front of the hotel, and they looked back at her from time to time.

David had just investigated and told her that everything was fine with grandma. But why when Lambert was there, grandma suffered a relapse?

She couldn't believe that Lambert would force her back at the risk of her grandma's health.

Before Lambert could say anything, Jessica said, "Let's go."

Seeing some fast food on the table, Lambert guessed that Jessica might not have eaten yet.

He ordered the bodyguards to buy some food for her.

"Jessica, eat something before we go," Lambert said.

Jessica remained silent.

She remembered that when she broke up with Oliver in Lambola City, it was also Lambert who came to pick her up.

That night, to celebrate her freedom, they also ordered a lot of dishes at the hotel.

Unexpectedly, the same thing happened again.

Jessica smiled bitterly. She couldn't get rid of the Williams family.

She did not know whether because she owed the Williams family too much in her previous life, so in this life, Oliver and Lambert took turns torturing her.

Jessica had been leaning against the sofa with her head down. Now she felt disgusted to even look at Lambert.

She didn't want to say a word more to him.

A moment later, the bodyguards brought the food up.

Jessica picked up her chopsticks and ate. She hadn't eaten well for several days and seemed to be very hungry.

She wanted to swallow all her grievances, sadness, and unspeakable bitterness, together with the food.

Especially when Lambert was talking in her ear, she was not willing to listen to him at all. She stuffed her mouth, so she could ignore him.

"Take your time. We're not in a hurry."

Lambert rarely saw Jessica eat like this. He hadn't seen her for only a few days, but it seemed that she had completely changed.
