Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 117

In the afternoon, Oliver was going to the company, and Jessica was going to see her grandma, so he asked Simon to drive her to the hospital.

Oliver didn't leave until he took Jessica to her grandma's ward.

Grandma asked, "Jessica, did you get used to it? Can you think of something now? Does the wound still hurt?"

"Grandma, it doesn't hurt at all. I'm fine now, but I still can't remember what happened." Jessica smiled.

Jessica did not emphasize that Oliver was good to her, but her grandma was happy instead. It seemed that their relationship turned out to be normal now.

She asked her grandmother about the memory she had forgotten, however, her grandma just picked out some delightful things to say.

Although her grandma told her not to go to her father, Jason, she was unwilling. No father didn't love his daughter. Even if he remarried, how could he cut off the bond between him and his daughter?

Jessica wanted to take a taxi to the White family to have a check herself.

As soon as she arrived downstairs, a middle-aged man came up and asked, "Mrs. Williams, are you going home? Mr. Williams asked me to pick you up."

Jessica glanced at him and remembered that she had met him once in GrandVille Apartments. He was the driver of the family.

"I want to go to the White family. Can you send me there? What's your name?"

"Garfield, Mrs. Williams. Tell me the address, please."

Jessica was afraid that she misremembered the place and asked her grandma for it.

She still remembered that it was the old address.

After getting into the car, Jessica asked. "Garfield, did you often pick me up?"

"Yes, Mrs. Williams."

"Did you rarely send me to the White family before? Why would you forget the address?"

"I'm sorry, this is my fault."

Jessica knew that Garfield was experienced. If he didn't even remember the address, it seemed that she indeed rarely returned to the White family in the past.

Jessica arrived and rang the doorbell.

Soon, Nanny Zamani came to open the door and was shocked to see her. She began to tremble as she spoke. "Mi... Miss, why are you back?"

This was the first time Jessica had returned to the White since she got married.

Zamani heard that after Jessica's car accident, Oliver loved her very much. She was afraid that Jessica had come to avenge.

Jessica could not remember her at all and said, "Hello."

Zamani walked in panic and shouted, "Madam."

Marina cursed in the room. "What are you making a fuss about? Are there ghosts?"

Only then did Zamani steady her steps. "Madam, Miss Jessica is back."

Marina came out and saw Jessica standing in the yard in good condition. She was shocked at first and soon calmed down.

She stepped forward and greeted her warmly, "Jessica, you're back. It's cold outside. Come in and sit down."

Jessica nodded slightly. She didn't know Marina. But she could tell that this woman was her stepmother.

"Is my father at home?" Jessica asked.

"He just went out," Marina said and told the maid to call Jason home. "Jessica, sit down. I will make coffee for you."

"No need. I just came back to take a look."

Marina was a little annoyed. She didn't know what Jessica wanted to see. There was nothing that belonged to her left in this house. Even the room she used to live in was redecorated and connected to Tina's room now.

"Then I'll go with you."

"No, I still remember the layout of the house."

Her answer made Marina's face turn pale with fear, who was afraid that she would be furious later.

Jessica went upstairs alone. When she reached the place where she used to live, she saw that the things inside were completely out of her taste. When she saw a picture of a girl on the desk, she guessed that this room was already her stepsister's bedroom.

At that moment, she felt uncomfortable.

This was the property that her grandpa left behind. Now there was not even a place for her grandma and herself.

Jessica looked around casually. It was no longer what she remembered. She felt an indescribable sense of loss.

"Jessica is back?" A middle-aged man's voice came from downstairs. Jessica tidied up her mood and went downstairs.

When she saw Jason, she felt that his appearance was not the same as what she remembered. But she called out in a low voice, "Dad."

Jason smiled awkwardly. "I heard you had a car accident. After Mr. Williams transferred you to another hospital, he wouldn't let anyone see you. He was afraid that it would affect your recovery."

Jessica looked at the way Jason spoke and was uncomfortable. She said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

They exchanged a few pleasantries, and then there was nothing to say. It was only Marina who was standing by and making jokes that eased the awkwardness between them.

Jessica didn't like the feeling of this family. She couldn't get anything from Jason. Besides, she forgot the past, so she couldn't judge by her feelings.

Just as she stood up to leave, Oliver walked straight into the living room.

When Jason saw that it was Oliver, he jumped up from the sofa in fear and flattered him, "Mr. Williams, what brought you here?"

Jessica was ashamed to see his father like this in front of Oliver.

Marina said, "Mr. Williams, sit down. I'll make tea."

Jessica couldn't bear to see the couple in front of her, so she said, "We'll leave now. Don't bother."

After that, she glanced at Oliver and motioned for him to leave.

Oliver said, "Then let's go home."

Jason did not dare to ask any more questions, so he sent them out.

Jessica walked out of the White and forced a smile. "Why are you here?"

"Garfield said you are here, so I came to pick you up."

Oliver could tell that she was not in a good mood. He didn't know how much she remembered about the White family.

He was afraid that she missed this place, so he said, "Shall I walk with you here?"

She was a little impatient after walking a few laps on the street she used to know.

The past was gone and it was hard to find memories of the old days.

Time passed and things changed.

"I want to go home." Jessica took his arm and walked towards the car.

Oliver felt great comfort when he heard her say "go home."

Now she regarded GrandVille Apartments as her home.
