Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 163

"Mr. Williams relapsed and he's lying in the hospital," David said.

Jessica's look immediately went gloomy.

"Mr. David, if you ask me to talk about something else, it won't be necessary. Meet me next time when you have the agreement ready. I have something to do today, so I'll go first."

After Jessica finished speaking, she got up and left.

In the afternoon, Jessica accompanied her grandmother to the Central Hospital for examination, and she had to do the pregnancy test herself.

After the examination, the doctor told her that everything was fine with her grandmother, so she arranged for Lannan to rest there with her grandma and she went to do the pregnancy test herself.

When she came out of the clinic building, she met Simon.

"Madam, are you here to visit Mr. Williams?" Simon asked.

It turned out that Oliver was not in Williams Hospital but in the Central Hospital.

Since Oliver was still under investigation, according to the procedure, he could only see a doctor in a public hospital.

"Hello, Simon. I'm not here to visit him. I have something else to do, so I'll go first." Jessica didn't want to know too much about Oliver.

"Madam." Simon stopped Jessica. "When Mr. Williams was unconscious, he was still calling your name."

"I'm no longer Mrs. Williams. Please call me by my name."

"He's been thinking about you."

Jessica felt numb. She didn't want to get involved in the Williams family again.

Even if she could forgive everything Oliver had done in the past, she could only end it and not owe him anything in the future.

"Simon, I'm sorry. I can't go to see him. I've promised Oliver's father that I won't have anything to do with Oliver anymore. You don't want me to eat my words, do you?"

"Madam, Mr. Williams is in a very bad situation now. He has both internal and external troubles. For the sake of his sincerity, please care more about him." Simon begged.

"I have no obligation. Please find someone else to care about him."

After saying that, Jessica left without looking back.

Arriving at the door of the doctor's office, Jessica slowly sat down in a chair.

She rubbed her pale, little face with both hands to calm herself down.

During the three days of her coma, she regained her memory.

She remembered how Oliver insulted her and later made up for her when she lost her memory. She could not tell whether he loved her or not.

She remembered the night they had been attacked in Holland. With a gunshot wound, Oliver carried her in the water, struggling to get her onto the yacht.

She remembered telling him she loved him.

Now that she remembered everything, her face began to burn.

Those words were indeed the true feelings of her when she lost her memory.

However, everything was different now. She remembered everything. The hurt was only hidden in a corner of her heart, but it would not disappear.

Even if he did a lot to make it up to her, it didn't help.

She has no longer thought about the past as a punishment for herself.

She had made promises that she shouldn't have made.

Under the current circumstances, she would not be able to fulfill her promises.

"Jessica..."

The nurse called her name a few times to get her back.

"Coming," Jessica said and hurried into the examination room.

Just as Oliver was lying in the hospital, the Williams Group was considering a new candidate for the chairmanship on the grounds that Oliver was suspected of insider trading and unfit for the chairmanship.

Jeff also agreed to the decision.

Soon, the Williams Group announced that Oliver, the former president of the Williams Group, had left office, and Lambert, the vice president, would serve as the president of the Williams Group.

For a moment, Lambert became the richest bachelor in Birmingham.

In addition, he enjoyed a widespread reputation and had high prestige in the company.

Everyone in Birmingham knew that Lambert, the First Young Master of the Williams family, not only had a little accomplishment in the art field, but now he was invincible in the business world.

Jessica didn't want to care about anything now. She just wanted to give birth to her child safely and take her grandma away.

At present, she and her grandma both needed to go to the hospital frequently, so there was no way they could get away from the city.

That day, Lambert came to Jessica's community again and went upstairs to knock on the door.

When Jessica heard the knock on the door, she thought it was Lannan who came back from taking grandma for a walk, so she went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Lambert standing in front of the door. He was dressed in a straight suit and looked domineering. She said, "Mr. Williams, you'd better go back. It's not convenient for me to see you here."

"I have something to say to you." He said.

"I don't think we have anything to talk about. You'd better go back."

"Do you remember the question I asked you last time?"

Jessica didn't answer him and said, "My grandma will be back soon. I can't let her see you here."

"Then let's talk outside."

When they were talking, a neighbor next door opened the door.

The apartment wasn't well soundproof. Jessica was afraid of affecting the neighbors, so she had to go downstairs with Lambert.

When they got downstairs, Jessica said, "What's the matter?"

"Jessica, let's get married," Lambert said coolly.

Jessica didn't expect Lambert to say such ridiculous things directly.

"Mr. Williams, are you crazy? I used to be your brother's wife."

"It was a ridiculous thing for you to be with him. Now that you have completely gotten rid of him, we can be together righteously."

"Aren't you afraid of riling your grandfather?"

"Now that I'm the president of the Williams Group, he can't stop what I want to do."

'The president of the Williams Group? When did he become the president of the Williams Group?'

Jessica was stunned and blurted out, "What about Oliver?"

Lambert's smile disappeared. "Are you still thinking about him?"

Jessica shook her head and said, "I just didn't know things would change so quickly."

"I knew you before Oliver did. I was the one who lost you. If I had found you earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been like this. Maybe we were already living happily together." Lambert said.

Jessica sneered. "Nonsense. I'm already with Oliver. That's the truth. If you marry me, you'll be laughed at by all the people in Birmingham. Why do you have to do that?"

"I don't care what others think. I only care what you think."

"Mr. Williams, you'd better go back. There's no possibility between you and me."

"Why Oliver can?"
