Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 158

As soon as he heard from the servants that Jessica had been called to the Old Residence by the old master, he knew something had happened and immediately drove back from the company.

Lambert said, "Hugh, tell grandpa that I'll send her back first."

"Okay."

Hugh turned around and returned.

Jessica thought about all these irritating things and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Just as she was about to fall down, Lambert caught her.

"Jessica, Jessica..." He shouted.

Jessica did not feel anything. But tears were streaming down her cheeks from the corner of her eyes.

Lambert asked the driver Garfield to drive straight to Williams Hospital.

Jessica's grandmother was downstairs, and Lannan, the nurse, was helping her take a walk. She saw a man carrying a woman upstairs in a panic. She took another look and thought it was Jessica.

"Lannan, take me there," Grandma said.

"Grandma, you can't be in a hurry now. We'll catch up right away." Lannan said.

Lambert carried Jessica into the elevator and went up to the ward on the 15th floor.

Grandma came to the door of the ward trembling, and she could see nothing inside clearly.

She saw Lambert standing by the window and walked over.

"Son, what was the name of the patient you just brought in?" Grandma said.

Lambert turned to look at the old woman behind him. She looked a little like Jessica. After a few seconds, he asked, "Are you Jessica's grandmother?"

Although Lambert had never seen Jessica's grandmother, he had helped when Jessica's grandmother was about to transfer to Williams Hospital. Later, because of Oliver's interference, Jessica's grandmother was not successfully transferred.

"I am. Is anything wrong with Jessica?" Grandma looked flustered.

"Grandma, don't worry. She fainted just now. The doctor is examining her."

Grandma's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she was distressed that her granddaughter suffered so much.

"Who are you?" Grandma asked.

"I'm Lambert." He said.

When grandma heard he was from the Williams family, she asked, "Where's Oliver? Why isn't he here to accompany Jessica?"

"He... He's busy."

Grandma almost didn't catch her breath when she heard this. Lannan immediately helped her aside to rest.

The doctor came out of the ward in a while. He walked to Lambert and said, "We did a preliminary examination. It's nothing serious. The patient hasn't woken up yet. We have to wait for her to wake up before we can do the further examination."

Lambert nodded and asked the doctor to leave first.

Lambert went into the ward with Jessica's grandma.

Her tears welled up when she saw Jessica ill in bed.

"Grandma, the doctor also said that there is nothing serious with her. She just needs to rest. She won't wake up for a while. You should go back and rest first." Lambert said.

Grandma looked stubborn. "I'm not leaving. I want to wait for Jessica to wake up."

Lambert signaled at Lannan.

Lannan stepped forward and said, "Grandma, let's go back to the ward and wait. If we are all here, we'll disturb Jessica's rest. This gentleman is here. He will inform us as soon as Jessica wakes up. It won't be too late for us to come back."

When grandma heard this, she was afraid that they would affect Jessica's rest, so she listened to Lannan and left Jessica's ward.

Jessica woke up three days later.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Before Jessica could open her eyes, she smelled a familiar smell of disinfectant.

She had been in the hospital too many times recently and was completely familiar with the hospital environment.

Although Jessica's mind was clear, she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. She frowned and tried to open her eyes.

Last time, Lambert only left for a moment before Jessica was taken away by Oliver. So this time, he had always been in Jessica's ward.

When he saw Jessica's eyelids moving, he called her name softly.

Jessica opened her eyes and saw Lambert's face, which was so close to her.

She said in a weak voice, "Mr. Williams."

Lambert was stunned. This was what Jessica called him after she separated from Oliver in Lambola City.

"You always call me brother. Why do you call me Mr. Williams now? It's quite strange."

"I'm not Oliver's wife anymore, so I can't call you brother." She said.

Seeing that Jessica had a clear train of thought, Lambert asked, "Are you feeling any discomfort? I'll ask the doctor to come over and examine you."

Across from Jessica's bed was a clock. She looked at the time.

"No, I'm just too tired. I should be fine. It's late now. Don't bother the doctor."

"You've been lying down for three days. Do you want to sit up?"

Jessica nodded.

Lambert walked to the end of the bed and rolled up the bed.

Jessica looked around the ward. She saw a pile of scattered documents and a computer which was still on.

"Mr. Williams, are you working here in the middle of the night?" She asked.

"I didn't know when you would wake up. When I came to see you, I brought the documents over. I didn't realize it was already midnight."

"Mr. Williams, you don't have to do this to me. I'm overwhelmed." Jessica said.

Lambert found that after Jessica woke up, she talked to him in a cold and alienating way.

He thought that perhaps his grandfather had said too many bad words, which made her so sad that she didn't even have a good impression of the person surnamed Williams.

"Jessica," he called her name directly. "You already know about Oliver and Tina. What are you going to do in the future?"

Jessica clenched her teeth and said, "When I get out of the hospital, I'll leave."

"Aren't you waiting for Oliver to come back?"

"How do I know when he will come back? If he doesn't come back, will I stay in your Williams family for the rest of my life?"

Jessica taunted.

However, Lambert was satisfied with her answer.

He never saw Jessica heartbroken for Oliver again, which made him secretly happy.

"You are pregnant now, so it's not convenient for you to go out and rent an apartment. I have a small house. It used to be used as a studio. I don't have time to draw now. It happens to be unoccupied, so you can move in when you get out of the hospital."

When Jessica thought of her child, she felt angry again. The tears welled up in her eyes and she tried hard not to shed tears in front of Lambert.

"No need. When I get out of the hospital, I'll move with grandma." Jessica said coldly.
