Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 247

Jessica clearly felt that something bad was going on.

The car drove farther and farther away from the center and finally arrived at an orchard.

There happened to be a wholesale warehouse for fruits.

But now no one was there now. So the warehouse had been abandoned there.

The driver pulled Jessica out of the car and dragged her into the abandoned warehouse.

Then he found a rope to tie Jessica's hands and feet casually. He just wanted to slightly limit herfreedom of action.

Anyway, she had just given birth to a child and was very weak. She could not run far in thewilderness.

The driver was about to make a phone call when he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen.

Maybe he ate something bad before.

He put Jessica there and went out to poo.

Jessica wanted to replace something to help her remove the rope from her feet. She happened to seesomething as if an iron bar. Then she slowly moved over to it.

She stretched her legs to the iron bar and rubbed the rope against it.

She was tired and nervous.

She didn't know when the driver would suddenly come over.

Her legs were as if a machine, which had been mechanically moving back and forth on the iron bar.Just as Jessica was sweating and moving vigorously, she suddenly heard the sound from outside.Her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She thought, “This time it is really over.’

Since someone had paid for a man to kill her.

It was her fate.

It didn't matter to her. Her Grandma had already passed away. But she still had a child who wouldbe alone if she died.

Why should her child suffer the pain of her death?

Jessica prayed in her heart that if she died this time, her child would be happy in the orphanage inthe future.

Perhaps her child was not financially rich. It would be good for her child to leave those vulgardisputes.

Jessica held her breath, waiting for the people outside to come in.

She first saw a woman's foot at the door. Then she saw a familiar face.

It was Lannan, the nurse who used to take care of her grandma.

Jessica was overjoyed. "Lannan.”

Little followed the voice and saw Jessica tied up and sitting behind the door.

Jessica's face was sweating all over. She let out a soft shush.

Lannan understood that this was a dangerous place and covered her mouth.

She came in such a hurry that there was nothing sharp in her hand. She could only help Jessica untiethe rope on her feet with her bare hands.

Although the rope was thick, the knots the driver tied were not firm. Lannan easily untied it.

She helped Jessica up and was about to take her out when she heard a man's voice from outside.Both of them were stunned, afraid that the driver had called someone else over.

Jessica, who was weak after giving birth, and Lannan together would not be able to deal with thedriver, not to mention two men.

When they heard that driver said for a while, then paused, again and again, they knew he wasmaking a call.

Jessica winked at Lannan.

She knew that they couldn't get out by force. So they waited in the house to conduct a sneak attack.Jessica picked up the iron stick on the ground and gave it to Lannan. She picked up something likean ax, which may be left by an orchardist.

Fortunately, Lannan and Jessica had been getting along with each other for some time, and theyhad a tacit understanding.

As long as the driver came in, Jessica would use the ax to knock the man out first. If she didn'tsucceed, she would let Lannan add another stick.

This was the only way they could escape.

Just as the driver stepped into the door, Jessica immediately exerted all her strength and was aboutto hit the driver in the head with the ax.

Probably because her desire to survive was too strong, the driver fainted instantly.

Fortunately, the driver seemed to have diarrhea and be a little dehydrated.

What's more, he didn't expect that, in the wilderness, someone would come to save Jessica.

And he was careless and came straight in.

And the door was not wide open so they had topographical advantages.

Only all these came together could Jessica seize the chance to escape.

Jessica saw that the man fainted, and they hurried away. Jessica was afraid that if they stayed onemore second and the man woke up, not only Jessica herself alone but also Lannan would have amiserable end.

Lannan pulled Jessica along a muddy path. She felt just a little bumpy when she sat in the car. Nowthat she was walking on it, she knew how difficult it was to walk.

They didn't speak a word but were on the alert.

Jessica understood that they had to run quickly to the main road. If a car passed by, they could takea ride and escape.

As soon as they reached the main road, Jessica saw a black car parked beside her.

Lannan opened the door and helped Jessica into the back seat of the car, then quickly got in thedriver's seat.

Jessica did not expect Lannan to drive over at all.

She panted, "Lannan, how did you know I was here?"

After Lannan started the car, she replied, "Miss White, we're safe now. You should rest first. The babyis weak after giving birth. Just listen to me."

"After I left you and grandma, I found another job as a nurse in the hospital.”

"In the morning, I wanted to attend your grandma's memorial service. My employer knew it, so heasked me to drive over and go back quickly.”

"When I almost got to the hospital, I happened to meet a big red light and saw a taxi wanderingthere. But I didn't take it seriously at first."

"Until I saw you stagger out of the hospital. As soon as you came out, that taxi deliberately stoppedin front of you.”

"I know you had gone through too much a while ago. I was afraid that something bad wouldhappen to you again, so I drove the car and secretly followed you."

"I felt something wrong and my feeling became stronger and stronger.”

"So I had been following behind, not too close. Fortunately, nearby was only this building. And Ifollowed the rut and found you.”

"Thank you, Lannan." Jessica couldn't help but cry.

"Miss White, we are soon to reach the outskirts of the city soon. Where do you want to go first?""Let's go to the hospital first. Someone paid a man to kill me. I really don't know how long I can live.I just want to see my child now."

"Okay, when we get to the hospital, I'll accompany you to see the child.”
