Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 184

Ever since Lambert knew that Jessica had completely recovered her memory, he was not in charge of her as strictly as before. He knew that Jessica would never forgive Oliver for what he had done to her.

When she made phone calls at home, he was not as alert as before.

This was exactly what Jessica wanted. She wanted Lambert to relax his vigilance.

Sometimes, when Lambert called in the study, he even didn't hide from Jessica.

Jessica stayed in the studio almost every night. She had to observe Lambert's reaction and find the proper opportunity to go out.

When Lambert was in the study, there were almost endless phone calls. As long as it was about the company, he would not answer the phone out of the study. Unless it was something personal, he would go out or go downstairs to answer the phone.

Jessica had already figured out the rules.

It was time to go to the hospital for a regular obstetrical examination. This time, Lambert didn't insist on going with her.

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Lambert had been very busy recently because of the company.

In particular, the development of new real estate that Lambert mentioned many times over the phone referred to the plan for the land that had been tossed and turned from the Zamani family and eventually belonged to the Williams Group.

Therefore, he should not be available leave the company this time.

Lambert told Amy and Annie to accompany Jessica to the hospital for obstetrical examination.

Sure enough, except for Jessica and the doctor in the examination room, no matter where they went out, Amy and Annie were sticking to Jessica like two pieces of sticking plaster.

Jessica directly said, "Now that I'm already at the hospital. I want to drop by the inpatient department and see my grandma."

This time, Amy and Annie were prepared.

They had already asked Lambert for permission. If Jessica wanted to see her grandma, Lambert would have agreed to let her go.

"Sure, Miss White." They said in unison.

Jessica was a little surprised to hear such a straightforward promise. She thought that it might take a lot of trouble. Perhaps they would have to ask Lambert for permission.

She was suspicious for a moment, afraid that there was some trick.

Lambert had previously refused to let her visit grandma on the grounds of the child and her health, but this time he agreed directly.

Jessica hesitated and went straight to the inpatient building.

Walking along the road, she was also thinking about how to get rid of these pieces of sticking plaster, afraid that Lambert would find something, and then her attempt would have been ruined.

However, there was no better way to avoid Amy and Annie now, so she had to enter the elevator with them.

At the door of her grandma's ward, Jessica said, "I want to have a private conversation with my grandma."

She thought that the request was not too much. After all, her grandma had nothing to threaten them with.

But Amy and Annie began to look embarrassed. "Miss White, Mr. Williams specifically told us to keep you safe, so..."

That meant they would follow Jessica in and kept an eye on her and her grandma.

"Well then, you can come in." Jessica had no choice but to agree.

Her grandma was naturally happy to see Jessica coming, but it was a little strange to see two women following behind her, like two doormen.

Ever since Jessica came to see her last time, Lannan, the nurse who used to take care of her grandma, was also replaced by a nurse arranged by the hospital, saying that she needed professional nurses to take care of her in her current condition.

Even though it was her grandma who said that Lannan was the one who knew her condition the most because she had been following her to take care of her after she got sick, could not change the doctor's arrangement.

The old lady had no choice but to give up.

Now that she looked at the situation in front of her, it seemed that everything had changed.

Jessica acted as if nothing had happened. She pretended that Amy and Annie didn't exist and talked to grandma as usual.

Her grandma glanced at the door from time to time instead.

Jessica carefully tugged at grandma's sleeve.

"Grandma, it's not good for you to stay in your room all the time. I'll push you down to get some sun. The weather is better recently, and the sun is brighter."

Grandma said, "Okay, okay, okay. I haven't been out for a winter that I am going to get moldy. It's time to go out."

Jessica stood up, opened the storage cabinet on the side, and helped her out of the wheelchair.

Seeing this, Amy and Annie quickly went up to help, opened the wheelchair, and helped her to sit.

Amy said, "Miss White, just let us push your grandma."

Jessica didn't refuse either. Anyway, they were going into the elevator together. There was no room for her and her grandma to talk about anything.

When they got downstairs, Jessica said, "Let me do this. Just now, the doctor told me that I need to exercise more. I can push grandma for a walk."

Annie nodded and agreed. Amy didn't say anything and kept a short distance from Jessica.

Jessica wanted to ask why Lannan was not there just now, but she was afraid that grandma would not tell the truth in the room, so she asked outside.

Her grandma whispered that it was arranged by the hospital and no one was allowed to bring a nurse.

Jessica knew that there was no such rule in Williams Hospital. In the past, Lannan had been taking care of her grandma, and there was no problem.

She knew it should be Lambert's arrangement.

He was really cautious enough to separate all the people who might approach her.

"Grandma, are you okay in the hospital? Have you had any old friends come to see you recently?" Jessica whispered.

Grandma was sitting in a wheelchair with her neck raised. When she saw Jessica looking down at her, she nodded gently, and her eyes showed affirmation. "Indeed, an old friend came and sent some old photos. I'll find them for you later."

When Jessica heard this, she thought that it must be David who have sent her id card.

She took her grandma around the garden a few more times. Then she felt a little tired, so they went upstairs.

Although her grandma was sick, she was smart and could take care of herself.

David didn't come to deliver the things Jessica asked for personally, but he asked an old lady to come here.

The old lady claimed at the door that she was visiting her old friend, so the nurse let her in.

Grandma saw a stranger coming in and thought it was Jessica who arranged it.

Thinking of Jessica not coming to see her for a few days and not having a phone call, especially the expression on her face when she left with Lambert last time, she guessed that she probably was in trouble.

The old lady gave a bag of things to her and asked her to put it away. She said that someone sent her to bring it to her granddaughter and told her to keep it well.
