Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 213

"Why did you come here? Don't you know how many people Lambert sent here?" Jessica didn't have time to think about anything else. She was just worried about Oliver's safety.

Jessica was not idle during the days' stay.

She went wherever she could.

No matter where she went, there were always armed bodyguards following her.

Lambert had already replaced all the security guards in the hotel with his own men, just in case.

Since only people of the highest class in Birmingham were invited to the wedding tomorrow. No mistakes were allowed.

Oliver said, "I'm here to tell you to be prepared for tomorrow. I'll get you out of here."

"Oliver, we have nothing to do with each other now. You don't have to take such a risk for me. I'm not worth it." She said bitterly.

"It's not the time to talk about this. When we get out to a safe place, we can talk about it then."

"It won't be so easy to get out. You're not familiar with the situation here. And it is indeed Toby's territory. Now that Toby and Lambert are allies, you can't compete with them for the time being."

Jessica didn't want to see anything bad happen to Oliver because of her.

Jessica was still scared when she thought about their almost getting shot in Holland.

She couldn't imagine something similar to happen again.

Moreover, Oliver may not be as lucky as the last time.

Oliver didn't explain more. "These are not things you should think about. You should pay attention to the surroundings tomorrow. In addition, I will send someone to take grandma away from the scene in advance so that you won't be distracted."

"Lambert has sent someone to keep an eye on grandma. How are you going to take her away? You know grandma's health has always been bad. I don't want grandma to be emotionally hurt again because of me."

"Don't worry. The doctor who follows grandma is my man. He will act as he sees fit."

At this moment, it occurred to Jessica that the doctor who came with grandma seemed to be the one who asked her to fill out the investigation documents.

But he was wearing a mask, so she didn't pay much attention.

As long as her grandma could be taken away from here safely, Jessica would not be afraid of anything else.

Jessica looked at Oliver and saw that he had obviously lost a lot of weight. She wanted to ask him if he had recovered from the gunshot, but she just could not say it.

"I got it. You'd better get out of here as soon as possible. There are bodyguards everywhere. Lambert just left. It would be even more troublesome if someone else knew you were here."

Oliver didn't want to go because he had not seen Jessica for quite a long time.

But, after all, it was still very dangerous, and he was even more afraid of bringing danger to her.

"I'll leave now. You follow the previous arrangements and pay more attention to the surroundings tomorrow."

After that, he left.

Jessica's heart was pounding after she closed the door.

She was praying that Oliver would not be seen by people outside.

Jessica turned off the lights in the room, then stood by the window and looked out for a long time. When she found that it seemed to be quiet outside, she knew that Oliver should have left safely.

But she was still worrying. It was difficult to dare the greatest danger.

'It will be tough tomorrow.'

Jessica was really not in the mood to sleep, so she sat in the living room and thought about the arrangement for tomorrow.

'I'd better not be a hindrance to Oliver and be well prepared for everything,' she thought.

At this moment, the bedroom door was opened and her grandma, trembling, came out of the room.

Jessica immediately stood up and went to support her.

"Why are you up now?" Jessica asked.

It was dark in the living room so she followed the voice to determine where Jessica was.

Jessica turned on the lights in the room.

Grandma asked, "I heard you talking to someone just now. Who was it?"

"No one." Jessica didn't say so much to her grandma, afraid that she would be worrying.

"Tomorrow, it's your wedding. It will be tiring to deal with so many people. Go to bed early."

"I know, but I can't fall asleep," Jessica remembered that Oliver had just told her that there were his people among the doctors. She didn't know whether her grandma had already known.

"Grandma, how many doctors were with you when you came here?"

"Five."

Grandma was very angry when she knew that Lambert had sent Jessica to Bali Island alone.

So when Lambert went to pick her up in the ward, she scolded him.

She was very sad whenever she thought of Jessica being alone.

At that time, Lambert told her grandma that five doctors would be with her on the plane to reassure her that he would take good care of her health.

Grandma knew whether she agreed or not, Lambert would take her to Bali Island. Jessica had already told her before.

She didn't want to cause trouble for Jessica, so she went on the plane with Lambert.

But the five doctors who boarded the plane with her were all wearing masks.

Anyway, it was all Lambert's arrangement, so she didn't want to take one more look at them.

"Are there any of the five doctors you've seen before?" Jessica wanted to know whether grandma knew anything.

Grandma didn't pay attention at that time. She recalled but still didn't remember.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I want to talk with you."

Then, Jessica took her grandma to go to bed in the room.

The next day.

Early in the morning, there was a professional makeup team here to help Jessica put on makeup.

They seemed to be locals.

Jessica glanced at them without saying anything.

As long as there were strangers near Jessica, Amy and Annie would be around.

Even if the people who came to put on Jessica's makeup were arranged by Lambert.

They were still very cautious.

The makeup artist has spent more than an hour putting on Jessica's makeup.

One of the pretty makeup artists asked Jessica in English, "Miss, are you satisfied with this makeup style?"

Jessica smiled and said, "Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Then the makeup artists helped Jessica put on the wedding dress.

"Wait a minute, remember to hold the wedding bouquet." It was the makeup artist who had just spoken to Jessica. She joked, "I hope I can be lucky enough to get the bouquet from the bride."

It was almost time to enter.

Lambert walked in. "Are you ready?"
