Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 142

The next day.

Jessica wanted to visit the Van Gogh Art Gallery.

But many people were lining up for the gallery, whether on weekends or on weekdays.

Jessica wanted to line up too. Since she was pregnant with a big belly now, it would be too exhausting for her to queue up.

Fortunately, the Williams Group branch in Holland had just donated funds to not-for-profit organizations such as art galleries and museums this year, so VIP accesses were set in those organizations.

Although Oliver was not interested in art, which was Jessica's hobby, he had been accompanying her all the way to watch art exhibitions.

The Van Gogh Gallery had collected 200 pieces of Van Gogh's most precious works created in his golden time, and one of the most famous works was the Sunflower.

Jessica stood in front of the Sunflower and did not move for a long time.

She seemed to like the painting very much at just first glance. A few sunflowers were squeezed into a vase, and the color of the picture was unforgettable.

Warm red, dotted in a full yellow, coupled with rich levels of green branches, which let the warm and cold scenes bloom the vitality of life.

Jessica had seen this painting countless times in the book, and she could only feel the real attraction by standing in front of the real original.

There was a huge gap between the printed works of paintings and the recorded works of music.

So it was better to look at the original if it was about paintings.

This was what she had known since she was a child.

Because she had seen her grandfather's collection of paintings since she was a child. At that time, she often saw them, thus she felt that it was not a big deal.

At the moment only when they went to the museum would they have the chance to see the original.

They had to see the original that was protected by the glass.

However, she only had a vague impression of many works collected by grandpa, and she did not know the specific collection list of her grandpa.

Later, those works should all be in Jason's hands. One day, she would help her grandpa find those works and get them back.

Oliver stood next to Jessica and let her lean against him, which would lighten her own burden.

He asked softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to go out and have a rest for a while?"

Jessica was afraid that he would stay in there for too long and be too bored, so she said, "Well, we've already finished checking them anyway. We can go out now."

Back in the car, Jessica looked at the scenery outside in a daze. Out of the city, the roads were lined with grassland and farmland, and Holland was indeed an agricultural country.

Holland and Birmingham were basically at the same latitude, so it was more humid during winter in Holland. Because Holland had a marine climate, its temperature was a few degrees higher than that in Birmingham. In the winter, the outdoor in Holland still looked green.

From time to time, she would see flocks of sheep and herds of cattle on the grass, and she liked the pastoral scenery here.

Jessica couldn't help remembering that Van Gogh had drawn a lot of works in the wheat field. She wondered what was Van Gogh thinking when he drew so many great and unique works.

Oliver saw that Jessica had been pondering in silence, and he asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about Van Gogh."

"You're too fascinated." The man smiled.

Jessica sighed, "Is it true that only people who have suffered a lot can create eternal classic works?"

"That's because no one would take the initiative to go through so many hardships to create artworks."

Because Van Gogh's life was poor, accompanied by mental illness, and then he cut off one of his ears.

At that time, none of his paintings could be sold. He could only rely on his younger brother Theo's help to continue his paintings.

Even more ironically, after his death, all his paintings became the work that the whole world was looking for.

Oliver's eyes involuntarily narrowed. He looked at the woman beside him, who had probably suffered too much. That was why she could understand Van Gogh's work better than he did.

Because at night Oliver had to attend the Williams Group's New Year's celebration. The celebration was held in an old castle not far from Amsterdam. They drove straight there to make preparations first.

When they arrived, Oliver asked Jessica to rest in the room upstairs. He then went downstairs to find the colleague in charge of tonight's celebration.

Jessica felt staying in the room boring, so she went downstairs and walked around.

For some reason, she walked down the stairs and saw the layout of the lobby on the first floor. It seemed that she had seen the scene on the first floor in a movie.

She wondered if her brain was really damaged by the bumping. Not only did she lose her memory, but she also kept having new memories.

She couldn't remember why she first came to Holland, but when she saw the date on her passport, she only stayed here for a short time.

At that time, she asked her grandmother, who said she was going to Holland to buy medicine for her. Because at that time her grandmother suffered from an emergent illness, she needed special medicine urgently. Only Holland had this medicine.

She was afraid that anything bad might happen if she delivered the medicine by mail, so she just flew to Holland to buy medicine for her grandmother. The next day, she returned to Birmingham.

This explanation matched her grandma's hospital records, so she didn't think much about it.

She didn't see Oliver downstairs, so she walked out of the castle alone.

The streets here were exceptionally clean, so she sat under the steps outside the castle and enjoyed the surrounding scenery.

Suddenly, there was a cold wind, and soon there was a drizzle in the sky.

She stood up abruptly from the steps, and a white light suddenly appeared in front of her. Perhaps she got up too fast, which made her brain a little confused.

She had really done this move before.

She felt that she was really a little crazy, but Oliver had something important to do tonight. She didn't want him to worry about it, so she didn't tell him.

She slowly walked back to the castle, took out her cell phone, and searched on the Internet for the content of "Do you think that what you are doing now has happened before?"

She found out that someone really had provided the answer.

The French had explained this phenomenon and called it deja vu.

However, modern science has no unified explanation for such a phenomenon.

At that moment, she wondered could she be as schizophrenic as Van Gogh?

She could not help sighing out a cold breath.

She wanted to go back to Birmingham to see a doctor and then figured out what was going on.

When she was about to go back to the castle, she saw Oliver coming out of it.

Oliver went to the room just now. When he saw that Jessica was not there, he was so worried that he came out to look for her.

"Why did you come out? Didn't I let you rest in your room? This place is different from Birmingham. You must be careful." He said nervously.

Jessica picked up the man's arm and walked him in with a smile, "You're too careful. I just walked around here. I won't go far."
