Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 235

Jasmine was also very surprised to see Jessica.

She heard about the marriage between Jessica and Lambert. Tom, Jessica's father, was seriouslyinjured because he went to Bali Island to catch Lambert.

If it weren't for this gunshot wound, perhaps Tom wouldn't have died so soon

Jessica walked up to Jasmine and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Jasmine.”

Jasmine hadn't seen her for a long time. She didn't expect Jessica to be pregnant when she saw heragain.

Recalling the time when they went to work together, she could feel that Jessica was a little different.She didn't expect that she had an affair with Lambert, the First Young Master of the Williams family.However, after such an accident, it seemed that she could not talk to Jessica with a pleasant face asbefore.

"Will you go out?" Jasmine sobbed and said coldly.

“I'm very sorry, I was to blame for Mr. Quinn's injury." Jessica didn’t expect Jasmine to forgive her,but she had to admit the fact.

If she didn't say anything, she would feel guilty.

Jasmine was sent to work abroad because of her.

She was also guilty about this matter, as Jasmine left her father because of her words.

The father and daughter could have spent more time together, but now the father passed awaywhen Jasmine came back.

"Go away." Jasmine suddenly roared. She might not be able to accept the fact that his father hadpassed away. She was very emotional. Looking at Jessica sitting in front of her, she felt verydisgusted.

Oliver walked over and said, "Jasmine, calm down. Jessica was not related to this. If you want toblame others, just blame me. I arranged for your father to follow me."

"Why are you always protecting her? If it weren't for her, my father wouldn't have passed awaynow." Jasmine seemed to be throwing a tantrum like a kid. "She's Lambert's wife. Why would youstand on her side as Lambert treats you like this?"

Jasmine only knew that Tom and Oliver went to Bali Island to catch Lambert, but he didn't knowthey went to save Jessica.

Therefore, she had been speaking up for Oliver.

There was no time for a conversation. Lambert ran away, and the person closest to Lambert herewas Jessica.

After Oliver scolded Jasmine, she stopped talking.

She still sat in the chair and cried.

Oliver asked the nurse to push Jessica away.

lan went to Jessica's ward but found no one. He was about to go outside to look for her when hesaw that Jessica was pushed back.

"Aren't you unable to stand? What makes you go out in person?” lan asked. When he saw Jessica'sface with tears, he knew that something must have happened.

"Let's go in first," Jessica said to lan. She didn't expect him to come. "Why don’t you go out to havefun? It's so boring to come to the hospital with me all the time.”

"I came back to Birmingham just to see you. Of course, I won't be bored.”

Jessica sat on the bed. The nurse called the doctor again and continued to test her amniotic fluid.Fortunately, nothing went wrong. The doctor kept telling her not to go out again.

lan said, "Look, you can turn a deaf ear to my words, but you should listen to the doctor.”

"Got you.." Jessica was very grateful to lan for her company.

Jasmine was her best friend at work. She thought they could be good friends. But now, not tomention a friend, it would be good if she didn't treat her as a foe.

On the way back, Jessica felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

Why? She couldn't get along with the person she thought to be good a while back.

For example, Oliver and Jasmine.

Seeing lan, she felt much relieved.

"By the way, I brought you a gift." As lan spoke, he went to the living room to get it. He speciallybought a bunch of golden tulips for Jessica.

He said, "I just saw that the tulips here are very nice. They're no different from those in Holland. I'llput them in a vase.”

"You're really capable. You know everything." Jessica smiled.

"When I was young, my father was very strict with me as my mother was not by my side. No onespoke for me. I could deal with all the chores, and flower arrangement is child's play for me."Jessica felt that lan warmed the cold ward like the sun.

She didn't expect him to have a pitiful childhood, as he looked so positive and optimistic.

He had no mother at an early age.

Jessica thought about the blissful childhood she spent with her mother and vaguely recalled thatshe was happy before.

Soon, lan put the vase on the table in the room.

Hearing some people talking outside, he went out to take a look.

It was Oliver.

"Since you're here, why don't you come in?" lan smiled and said. He knew that Oliver would notignore Jessica.

"When she came up from downstairs just now, she was in a bad mood. I have things to deal withdownstairs." Oliver said.

After that, he stared at lan and asked, "Do you come to accompany her every day?"

"Of course, I am the godfather of her future child, and I will treat her as my own sister. Now that youdon't care about her, I should take good care of her."

Oliver's face darkened. "Then take good care of her.”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll fall in love with her overtime?” lan sneered.

"You won't," Oliver said.

As a knowledgeable man, he guessed that lan was one hundred percent gay.

Seeing that he was so attentive to Jessica, Oliver asked someone to investigate him, and he got theright answer.

lan said, "That's not necessarily true.”

Oliver knew that lan was deliberately provoking him and left without a backward glance.

Jessica saw that lan hadn't come back after a long time, and she was afraid of accidents, so shecalled the nurse in to ask about what he was doing.

The nurse just said that lan seemed to have met someone he knew, but she did not mention Oliver.Because Oliver told her in advance not to tell Jessica that he had been here.

As soon as the nurse was done talking, lan came in.

"Oliver is here. He's probably too embarrassed to come in. I can see that he still cares about youvery much.”

"It's probably because his secretary didn't treat me well just now, so he comes over to take a look.It's okay. It's all over." Jessica said.
