Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 192

"Mr. Williams, do you want to tell me something? If not, I'm leaving." When Lannan saw all this, she knew that it was not a nice place to stay.

"Aren't you here to see grandma? Are you leaving without seeing her?" Lambert asked.

Since Lambert asked, she didn't hide it anymore. "I have taken care of grandma for a while. I'm really not used to living without her, so I came to see how she is recovering. I can feel at ease after seeing her."

"Really? Grandma is fine, but she's a little worried when she can't see Jessica. She's not in a very good mood because of this." Lambert said and looked at Lannan.

Lannan's hand was under the coffee table, and she clenched her sleeve, afraid that she would show any signs. She smiled and said, "Is Miss White okay? I haven't seen her for a long time. I was going to call her and ask grandma about her situation, but I couldn't reach her on the phone at all."

"You can't reach her?" Lambert asked.

Lannan shook her head and said, "It's been a long time since I saw her."

As soon as Lambert heard that, he put down the glass in his hand with a loud sound. He was probably a little worried. He didn't use much strength, but he made them sound so loud.

Lannan was so frightened by Lambert's movement that she didn't even dare to breathe. She didn't know what she had said wrong.

"Didn't she contact you?"

Lambert had been keeping an eye on the surveillance cameras to see who was the first person to see grandma. That person must know Jessica's whereabouts.

He had thought before that it would be Martin or Sally who would come to visit her. Maybe Jessica didn't want to cause any more trouble for them, so she let the most inconspicuous person, Lannan, go and ask for news.

Anyway, Lambert couldn't do anything to Lannan, and he couldn't affect Lannan's career. This was why Jessica thought about it again and again before she asked Lannan to come.

"No," Lannan answered.

"If Jessica contacts you, please tell her that grandma already knows the fact that she left Birmingham. Because she was too worried, her conditions became worse and she has been transferred to the intensive care unit."

When Lannan heard this, her look changed and she looked anxious. She asked, "Then Mr. Williams, can I go and visit grandma now?"

"Sure, I'll get someone to take you there."

After saying that, Lambert looked at the man in black.

The man in black took Lannan to the intensive care unit.

Because the intensive care unit was sterile, people had to wear protective clothing when they went in.

After putting on the protective suit, Lannan was taken to a ward by a nurse.

The nurse said to her, "Now that the patient is resting, outsiders are not allowed to enter in case of infection by the virus."

Lannan had no choice but to stand in the corridor and look in through the glass window.

She saw a white-haired elder lying on the bed with an oxygen mask on. Because of the distance and the oxygen mask covering her face, she could not see her clearly.

But it should be grandma since Lambert had told her so and she came here uninvited. Maybe grandma really fell ill again.

After thanking the nurse, Lannan went out of the intensive care unit and left the hospital directly.

As soon as she got home, she called Jessica and told her everything she saw in the hospital.

Jessica's hand holding the phone was trembling.

She couldn't believe it. She also thought about the possibility that Lambert had deliberately set such a trap to lure her back.

'However, what if grandma really fell ill again because of me?'

She could not forgive herself if something unpredictable happened to her grandma.

Jessica felt everything was against her plan.

When she married Oliver, she was already prepared to bear such a bad situation.

Wasn't that enough?

Oliver had promised to let her go. Things had already passed and ended. But she got into a car accident just because she wanted to find out what happened the night she lost her innocence.

If she had died then, it would have been over.

But she survived anyways, probably because she hadn't suffered enough, so she had to be tested, which made her lose her memory and start to have an affair with Oliver.

Now, it was not easy for her to escape from Lambert's shackles, but her grandma fell ill again.

'Why is my life so difficult?'

Thinking of this, Jessica burst into tears in the hotel room.

Probably tired from crying, Jessica got up from the bed.

She walked to the bathroom, turned on the tap, held a handful of cold water, and washed her face with it to keep herself awake.

Jessica recalled the last time she saw her grandma when she was in good condition in all aspects. How could she fall ill so soon?

Although she didn't tell her grandma that she was going to leave temporarily for a while, her grandma knew that she had already taken away her identity card, so she thought her grandma should be prepared for her departure.

Jessica didn't intend to stay away for long. She just wanted to give birth to her child outside and arrange for the child. She would go back to Birmingham to see her grandma after that.

Lambert wouldn't let her have her child and raise the child up if she didn't leave the child outside.

Although when she was pregnant in the beginning, she had no feelings for the child in her stomach.

However, every time she went to the prenatal examination, she heard the child's heartbeat in the ultrasound machine. It was so pleasant to her ears. This was her child. It was her life. She must not be handed over to anyone else.

Jessica knew that she was completely underestimating Lambert when she asked Lannan to investigate this matter.

Lambert would never let her go. He would definitely do something to force her back.

Maybe everything he showed Lannan was arranged by him.

Jessica had no choice but to call David and ask him for help.

Because David was an insider of the Williams Group, it might be easier to find out.

What was more, Lambert knew that he had always been with Oliver and he would have targeted them in everything he did.

Jessica called, but no one answered the phone for a long time. She was so anxious and hateful that her heart was in her throat. She was afraid that if David couldn't help, all the work she had done would be wasted.

The second time Jessica called, the phone was picked up.

"Mr. David, this is Jessica." She said weakly.

Jessica made the call with her new phone number. David could tell at a glance that she had left.

"Is everything going well?" David asked.

Jessica pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
