Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 208

"I just came in. When did you come back?" Jessica asked as if nothing had happened.

Lambert looked at Jessica fixedly. "Just now. Grandpa is sick. Let's go to the hospital to see him tomorrow."

Jessica was nervous, and she almost couldn't hide the panic in her heart. When she heard that Jeff was sick, she was also shocked.

"What happened to grandpa?" Jessica took a breath and asked, "Hasn't he been fine before?"

"He's getting old, and he has a heart disease, and he has a stroke this time."

Jessica only met Jeff a few times, but Jeff was good to her.

But then, there was a series of news about Oliver. When he saw her again, he became cold to her.

But Jessica still felt sorry to know that Jeff had a stroke.

"Grandpa is sick. Will our wedding continue?"

Since Jeff was ill, Lambert should do his best to take care of Jeff in the hospital. Perhaps they could put their wedding on hold.

"Our wedding plan remains the same." Lambert saw through what Jessica was thinking and let her down.

"Grandpa is sick, and the atmosphere at home is also not good. We will hold the wedding as usual. It's a happy thing, and maybe it will help grandpa to get better."

Jessica sneered. What an excuse.

"I see."

After that, Jessica was about to leave the studio. She didn't seem to remember what she was going to do just now.

Lambert said, "Didn't you come here to paint?"

Jessica came back to her senses. "Oh, right. I forgot what I wanted to do when you mentioned grandpa's illness. I'm not in the mood to paint now. I want to go out for a walk."

"Come into my study. I have something to show you."

Jessica had no choice but to follow Lambert into the study.

Just as Lambert took something out of the cabinet with his back to her, Jessica scanned his study.

At a glance, she saw a note on the table with a string of numbers, which should be a phone number.

Jessica remembered the numbers silently. She had a good memory.

Lambert turned around, took out a gold jewelry box, and slowly opened it.

Jessica saw a diamond ring in the box. The diamond on it was as big as a pigeon egg, shining brightly under the light.

Lambert took out the ring from the box, and Jessica couldn't help but clenched her hands.

"Give me your hand. Let me put it on for you," Lambert said.

Jessica had to extend her slightly stiff left hand, with her fist clenching.

"You don't have to be nervous. I'll buy you whatever jewelry you want."

Jessica did not say a word and just watched quietly. Lambert put the diamond ring to the middle finger of her left hand.

Lambert asked, "Do you like it?"

"Yes." Jessica was afraid to look straight into Lambert's eyes. She looked at the ring on her hand and said, "Can I take it off? There's no need to wear it at home. And it's not suitable for me to wear it to the hospital tomorrow."

"Grandpa will be happy to see it." He said.

Jessica said, "Okay, thank you."

Jessica and Lambert went to Williams Hospital to visit Jeff the next day in the morning.

When they arrived, Jeff hadn't woken up yet.

Toby had returned from southeast Asia and was in the ward.

Jessica stayed in the ward for a while, then told Lambert that she wanted to see her grandma.

Lambert and Toby had something to talk about, so Lambert agreed, but Amy and Annie still followed her behind.

Jessica took her grandma out to the garden. It was much easier to talk outside than in the ward.

They went downstairs, and her grandma said, "A friend came to see me, Jessica."

After that, the old lady in the wheelchair winked at Jessica.

Jessica was delighted. She knew David had been looking for her.

Lambert had just taken over Williams Hospital, and he couldn't control everything in the hospital.

David's men could still see her grandma.

Grandma specifically reminded her that a friend had come since she left last time.

Jessica knew that David should have been keeping an eye on her grandma and waiting for her.

As long as she appeared in the hospital, he would find her.

Jessica pushed her grandma along the road and began to circle. Amy and Annie followed behind them.

When they reached a crossroad, two doctors in white coats walked straight over.

Grandma opened her eyes wide and found that the doctor who was talking to her was the one who sent her the message last time in the ward.

The doctor bent down and asked her about her condition.

She said a few words to the doctor.

While her grandmother was talking to the doctor, Jessica stared at the doctor in front of her.

The doctor said, "You look so good today."

"I'm happy that my granddaughter came to see me today," Grandma said, then pulled Jessica's hand. "This doctor is nice. He came to check me a few days ago and specially told me some precautions."

Jessica reached out to the doctor and shook his hand. "Thank you for taking care of my grandmother."

"This is what we should do."

After the doctor finished speaking, he asked the assistant behind him to take out a folder containing grandma's case and explain it to Jessica.

When Jessica saw the documents and the doctor's name on them, she knew what the doctor meant.

The assistant next to her said, "Please write down your feelings and comments about the hospital on the survey. In that way, we can improve."

Jessica knew that they were asking her if she needed them to sent any information. If so, she could write it down.

She remembered the phone number she had seen in Lambert's study. Maybe they could use it.

And she also wrote all down the news she had heard from Vicky that Lambert's uncle was in South America.

After writing, she quickly closed the folder.

Amy and Annie had no time to take a peek.

Besides, Amy and Annie were more relaxed in Williams Hospital, and they didn't think much. They only needed to protect Jessica.

It was Lambert's hospital, and the situation was different from that in the former hospital.

After communicating with the doctor, Jessica quickly left with her grandma. She was afraid that it would arouse suspicion if she stayed too long.

Jessica and her grandma walked into the elevator with her hearts still beating wildly.
