Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 193

Jessica found it a little embarrassed to say it. After all, David was Oliver's subordinate.

She was not in the right and self-confident to ask him for help again.

She hesitated for a few seconds on the phone.

David asked, "Madam, is there something wrong?"

In David's eyes, the fact that Jessica was Oliver's wife had never changed.

Jessica didn't have time to care about the address. The top priority now was to ask David to check on her grandma's condition.

"Mr. David, can I trouble you again to check on my grandmother's condition in Williams Hospital?" She said slowly, "My grandmother has been transferred to another place. I sent someone to the former ward to check. But she is no longer there. Lambert claimed that my grandmother was seriously ill again. I suspect he lied to me."

When David heard this, he knew what she wanted to ask him to do.

"Okay, I got it. I'll send someone to check it right away. No matter what information I find, I'll reply to you as soon as possible. I'll call this number later, okay?" David said.

"Sure, you can call this number to contact me. Thank you."

Jessica could feel on the phone that David was probably very busy. He talked and did things in a vigorous and effective manner. Perhaps he was really busy with Oliver's affair.

"So... has the affair of Oliver been solved?" Jessica asked.

"Not yet. We are working hard because there are many people involved and things are complicated. It will be very difficult for Mr. Williams to get away for a short time."

David took this opportunity to talk to Jessica a lot about Oliver.

He had always thought that there was just a misunderstanding between Jessica and Oliver because he could feel their previous relationship wasn't fake. It would be a pity if they really separated because of the false news.

Now that Oliver was not completely free, David had to send information for them.

Jessica heard David say a lot, but she didn't understand it very well.

It suddenly occurred to her that she had taken photos of documents in Lambert's office and they might be helpful to Oliver's case.

"I have some documents and photos here. They may be related to Williams Group. They were taken in a hurry. I wonder if they will be helpful to you." Jessica was afraid that she was making an unnecessary move, so she said equivocally.

David asked anxiously, "Where did you get the documents?"

"In Lambert's study," Jessica said, although she hadn't had time to read the contents of the other documents, the documents that Lambert needed to deal with must have something to do with the Williams Group.

'It might help,' she thought.

"Okay, please send the documents to my email quickly."

David hung up the phone and sent his email number to Jessica.

She immediately sent all the photos to David.

As soon as Jessica finished these things, she saw a few missed calls on her phone.

When she was talking to David, others called her. She didn't care about them.

She just thought that when she arrived at a new place, she would receive a lot of advertisement calls.

Now that she was free, she scrolled down the call log and found that the previous calls were from Birmingham.

These numbers were unfamiliar to Jessica. She had never seen them before. They were not Lannan's calls.

David was on the phone with her just now, so he wouldn't reply to her so quickly.

Jessica had a bad omen in her heart.

She only gave her phone number to two people. One was Lannan, and the other was David.

Could Lambert have found out her phone number?

Jessica was already restless. She wouldn't call back. What if it was she who had thought too much about it? Maybe it was because the former owner of the phone number had been in touch with the people of Birmingham.

She watched the phone all night. If it was Lambert who called, she couldn't stay at York long.

Of course, she was also waiting for David's reply.

Jessica was afraid that Lambert would speak casually in front of her grandmother and made her grandmother's illness become more serious. If there was an accident, she would not be able to bear the consequences.

However, nobody called her all night.

Perhaps she had thought too much.

After dinner, she went back to her room to rest.

She lay on the small bed in the hotel, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

When she got up the next day, she was in a daze and not energetic at all.

Sure enough, David was very efficient and called her early in the morning.

When Jessica saw it was David who called, her hands were trembling as she picked up the phone. She was afraid of hearing bad news.

"Hello, Mr. David, how is it?" She said.

"Madam, I've already asked someone to check. Your grandmother is still in the hospital. She is in another ward. She looks energetic and is not in the ICU."

David knew that Jessica was worried, so he told Jessica everything he knew.

"Great, great." Jessica's tears flowed down her face and wet the screen of her phone, "Thank you, Mr. David."

David said over there, "Madam, thank you for the photos you sent me. They're really helpful. It won't be long before Mr. Williams gets away safely. Please don't worry."

When Jessica heard about Oliver, to be honest, she was very happy for him.

If she could help Oliver, she could repay him for saving her life in Holland.

Anyway, Oliver risked his life to protect her at that time.

She would never forget this favor.

Of course, the hurt he had brought to her was deep in her soul and she would remember it forever.

Early in the morning, after receiving such good news, Jessica was relieved.

Since she arrived in York, she had bought some clothes to change in the shop near the railway station and immediately found a hotel to stay in.

She hadn't gone outside to take a look. She had to go to the nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities first.

It was inconvenient for her because many things she needed were absent in the hotel.

Jessica went to the supermarket and bought a bag of things. On the way back, when people saw she was pregnant but carried so many things, they took the initiative to ask her if she needed help.

She refused with a smile.

In fact, it seemed that the people here were very simple, and it seemed that she had not seen such smiling faces for a long time.

But she was a stranger here after all. She did not dare to trust others too much. Perhaps it was because she had developed the habit of being alert.
