Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 146

When Jessica woke up, she was in the Arto Hospital in Delft.

She opened her eyes and looked around. Not seeing Oliver, she was so scared that she sweated profusely. She got off the bed and walked out on bare feet.

Seeing the doctors and nurses, she felt a little relieved. It seemed that they were saved, but where was Oliver?

She walked to the front desk and tried to find Oliver's name. The nurse entered Oliver's name on the computer and couldn't find any records of Oliver.

Jessica couldn't believe it. It wasn't Oliver who brought her to the hospital. Who did that?

She had no idea what had happened last night. She could only remember looking at the lights on the ship with eager eyes. Then she had a blackout and lost consciousness.

She returned to the room anxiously. Without Oliver's whereabouts, she was on pins and needles.

She couldn't find her cell phone just now. Maybe she dropped it in the water last night.

Jessica wanted to borrow a cell phone from a nurse and made a call.

At this time, the door of the room was opened and a tall man came in.

Jessica took a few steps back.

Ian said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I was entrusted by your friend to send you to the hospital. At that time, your friend came to my cruise for help. I saved you."

When his doctor examined Jessica, he found out that she was pregnant, so Ian sent Jessica to the nearest Arto Hospital immediately.

Jessica knew that the friend he was talking about was Oliver.

After the shooting last night, Jessica was very careful in her words. She was afraid that she would meet bad people and cause trouble for Oliver.

Since the man said he was a friend of Oliver, she also claimed to be friends with Oliver.

She asked anxiously, "Where's my friend? I want to see him. Do you know where he is?"

Ian threw up his hands and shrugged his shoulders. "He's a mysterious man. I don't know where he went. He just asked me to take good care of you, so you don't have to be afraid of me."

He probably saw the fear in Jessica's eyes, so he comforted her.

Jessica asked, "Can I borrow your phone?"

Lucas took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Jessica. She dialed Oliver's phone number, but she couldn't get through to him.

Presumably, they were in the water for so long last night that their phones were broken.

However, if someone was already there to pick Oliver up, he would have got a new phone. He should have known that once she woke up, she would contact him.

However, why was his phone still not working after a night?

Jessica felt blood rushing into her head. She sat heavily on the bed and suddenly had an ominous presentiment.

She really didn't dare to think about it anymore and mumbled, "That's impossible, impossible..."

The tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed and gushed out.

Seeing her like this, Ian felt as if his heart had been clenched. He felt very uncomfortable. He walked up to comfort her and said, "Miss, don't worry. I'll help you find your friend."

Jessica felt that she had lost her composure in front of an outsider. She wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve and sobbed as she called Simon.

It was midnight where Simon was. Because Oliver was not in Birmingham, Simon was on a vacation.

Jessica was unable to get through Simon.

She said to Ian, "I want to be discharged."
