Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 93

The lights were on.

A private plane landed on the tarmac nearest to the hospital.

When Oliver arrived at the hospital, the doctor was setting an I.V. for Jessica.

She had been throwing up a lot recently because of her pregnancy. She vomited whatever she ate. Her face was a little sallow, and her eyes were sunken. She looked listless and soon she fell asleep soon after her I.V.

After Jessica fell asleep, Oliver went into the ward and looked at the woman lying on the bed. She looked haggard and her brows drew together. Her arms were exposed, and her fists were clenched. She looked nervous and guarded even in her sleep.

The man bent down gently, pulled up Jessica's small fist, put it in the quilt, and helped tuck in the corner of the quilt.

These days of running made her seem like a different person. The man's eyes were dark and deep, filled with emotions hard to tell.

After a while, the nurse told him not to stay in the ward too long, because when Jessica fell asleep, she would suddenly wake up as if she had been frightened.

Oliver's mouth moved slightly and left the ward.

Sure enough, Jessica woke up after a short sleep. Suddenly, a familiar cold fragrance filled her nose. Although it was mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the ward, she could tell that it was from Oliver.

She looked at the nurse in the ward suspiciously. "Has anyone been here before?"

The nurse's hand, which was sorting out the documents, paused for a moment and she immediately said with a natural smile, "Miss White, a doctor from the joint consultation just came over."

Jessica just thought that perhaps she was too guarded and thought too much. If the man found out, she would have been thrown out of the hospital long ago. Besides, there was no unique fragrance in the world, so she didn't think much about it.

Perhaps after living in the advanced ward, she had better rest, and Jessica's appetite was a little better. She had a complete patient meal in the evening.

Oliver went back to Birmingham after seeing Jessica.

Martin scolded him on the way back.

"I still have something to do. I don't want to leave now." Martin said reluctantly.

"What do you have to do? Don't tell me you want to see a friend."

"I want to revisit this city."

"Aren't you going to reminisce with Sally?"

"Mr. Williams, why are you so clear about other people's affairs? Why are you a fool when it comes to your own affairs?"

Oliver was reminded of the woman lying on the hospital bed when he said that. There was no glory in her as she usually had, which was all caused by him.

Maybe he really should let that woman go. It was not like that he had to keep her. He didn't know why he had to keep her by his side in the past. The doctor was right: he should face his own problems.

After returning to Birmingham, Oliver never went to Lambola City to see Jessica again. Recently, he was busy going to see Larry.

Simon saw how the president seemed to have come back to life ever since he went to Lambola City to see his wife, and he felt his pressure was reduced working for him.

One day, Oliver called him into his office.

"Simon, go to RH Apartments and buy a house."

Simon was a little confused about why to buy another house. This Lambola City was not developed by the Williams Group. He was just about to ask if there were any other requirements besides the location.

Oliver added faintly, "Buy the largest in the best location."

Simon knew about this real estate project. It was opened a few years ago. If he went to buy it now, he might not be able to buy what the president asked for. He suggested, "We have some good houses left at the new project of the Williams Group..."

"There aren't many people living in the new building. Just buy one at RH Apartments. Sally also lives there. A friend nearby is of good help."

Simon was a little stunned.

'This is to buy a house for his wife. The president wouldn't really want to separate from his wife, would he? Now maybe that Miss White in the GrandVille Apartments is really going to get what she wants, and she is going to be his legal wife.'

'But Mr. Williams, have you considered Sally's feelings when you arrange this? You could kick your wife out and ask her to help you take care of your wife and your own child.'

He liked the president's current wife very much. He didn't know what was wrong with the president. He had to take his wife with him no matter what before.

Now that he had bullied her and she ran away, he did not ask for forgiveness in person, but just bought a house and sent her away. This amount of money was nothing to the president, and he felt that Jessica was worth more than that, but he did not dare to say anything else.

Simon glanced at Oliver. "Okay, I'll do it right away."

...

Lambola City.

Under the careful care of the doctor, Jessica recovered well and looked much better. It was time for her to leave the hospital.

Jessica went down to go through the discharge procedures herself. Although she was staying in the advanced ward, she only needed to pay the cost of an ordinary ward, but this was also a large expenditure. Recently, she had only expenses but no income, so she was about to run out of money.

When Jessica went to the payment office and handed the list to the cashier, she was told that someone had already paid for the hospitalization.

She couldn't believe it, after all, she didn't know anyone in Lambola City. Among all the people she knew, Vincent was the only one who knew she was in this hospital.

But since he knew that the child in her belly was not his, why did he pay for the hospitalization? Was it really because of the old love? She could not figure it out.

Last time, she didn't ask for Vincent's contact information at all. In the future, she would repay him. She didn't want to owe him anything.

She had nothing to do with Vincent now, and she was clean.

Jessica had a good impression of Lambola City, apart from being stolen and losing her ID card. She was really touched by the staff in the hospital.

The doctor told her not to run around for the time being. So she couldn't hurry back to Birmingham to question Tina nor go to Holland to investigate the situation that night.

For the time being, she had to put up with it. She planned to stay in Lambola City for a while and began to look for a job. It was important to support herself first.
