Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) -
Chapter 271
Jessica came to Twentyseven Hotel in Amsterdam for the third time.
This time, Lucas came with her.
When they arrived at the hotel, Lucas asked her what they were doing here.
Jessica was afraid that she and the hotel would have a communication barrier. After all, it happenedalmost a year ago.
Only then did she say to Lucas, "When I first came here last year, something strange happened. Inaddition, there was a period of time when I lost my memory, so I couldn't replace it out until now."Lucas knew that Jessica and Oliver were in a good relationship when she lost her memory.
Jessica explained why she married Oliver. After a brief talk with her, Lucas realized that Jessica hadsuffered a lot when she was with Oliver.
On the day of their engagement, she was abandoned by her fiancé.
This time, she was here to investigate what happened that night before the engagement.
Lucas went to the hotel staff to check the surveillance video of that day.
After they explained their intentions, the staff helped them replace the video records of that day.However, it was found that the surveillance video on that floor where Jessica lived was blurred, andit was impossible to identify who appeared on the floor.
Lucas knew that these video recordings were probably sabotaged on purpose.
However, it was not difficult for Lucas to deal with at all.
He had been exceptionally talented on computers since he was a child.
When he was in high school, he liked to study computer technology by himself.
As soon as Lucas met a problem with the computer, he was very excited. He didn't eat or drink untilhe solved the problem.
Now, it was Jessica who had encountered a problem.
When he saw Jessica's disappointed eyes, he whispered to her, "Don't worry. I'm good atcomputers.”
Jessica pinned her last hope on Lucas.
Lucas copied all the videos of that day onto a hard drive.
Then he planned to go back and study it.
After they came out of Twentyseven Hotel, Lucas asked Jessica if there was any place she wanted togo.
Jessica said, "No."
She didn't want to stay in Amsterdam at all, but just want to leave this place ASAP,
because she and Oliver had a great time here.
Jessica would never forget what she heard from Oliver and Simon in Williams Hospital that day.Oliver had said that he would not let her raise the child.
Jessica knew she was deceiving herself that she didn't believe that her child had really gone.
Now she was willing to accept the fact that her child was gone.
She was indeed not capable of taking good care of the child herself, but Oliver definitely hadsomething to do with that.
As long as she was still alive, she must avenge what happened to her child.
Thinking of this, Jessica suddenly became motivated again.
She couldn't be depressed now. She had to move on to her new life.
People from the Kim family had already helped her get a new identity and she would live in Hollandlater.
Jessica was dead now, and there was no woman named Jessica in Birmingham.
She and her past had been buried in QN Town.
Lucas explained everything to Jessica.
Although it was done before asking her permission, she felt that people from the Kim family weredoing this for her good.
If she still lived under Jessica's name, she would die sooner or later.
If it weren't for the Kim family, she might suffer death someday.
"Lucas, I want to go back to work as soon as possible. I don't want to stay in the hospital all thetime." Jessica said
"That's great. We have plenty of seats for you in the Kim family. I'll tell my father to take you to ourcompany. He can be your tutor.”
Jessica didn't expect Lucas to let her work at his family’s company.
She knew that she couldn't do any crucial job at all. Even if she was going to wash dishes in arestaurant, she would be willing to do.
She shouldn't appear in public at all. The work behind the kitchen was the most perfect job for her."No. I can't always rely on your help for the rest of my life. I'm grateful that you saved me from theabyss. I'll do my best to repay you."
Lucas really wanted to tell her that Jessica was actually his family,
but Gavin's words echoed in his ears again.
It would be better to tell her later. Anyway, the doctor said that Jessica would stay in the hospital fora while.
Thus, she couldn't work at all for the time being.
After Lucas sent Jessica to the hospital, he went back to his home.
He had to go back and study how to recover the damaged video.
Gavin knew that Lucas had gone to Twentyseven Hotel with Jessica, so he came to Lucas to replace outwhat he had done.
Lucas was busy with the video, telling Gavin not to go to his house.
Gavin didn't want to talk to him over the phone, so he came to Lucas's.
He wanted to know everything about Jessica.
He wanted to make up for her what she had missed over the past 20 years.
Gavin arrived and Lucas had to come out of the study.
"Dad, I told you not to come.”
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
"I'm busy now."
"Where did you take Jessica today? Did she show any interest in anything?"
"No," Lucas said coolly.
"There are so many interesting places in Amsterdam. Why don't you take her on a tour? Girls likeshopping. Take her to PC Hooftstraat and buy something to cheer her up.”
PC Hooftstraat was well-known for its abundant luxury brands.
Lucas said, "Your sweet daughter is not interested in these things. If you help her buy a painting ofVan Gogh or Rembrandt, maybe she will be happier.”
"Why didn't you tell me early? I will ask someone to pay attention to the art auction in France. Ifthere is, I will bid it for her."
Lucas had never known that Gavin knew anyone who knew art.
The Kim family seemed to have always been interested in making money, but art, a spiritual productfar away from the secular world, was really not their cup of tea.
"Then go buy it. Jessica will be happy to see it, but she is indeed worried about something elserecently.”
"What is it?"
Gavin only cared about Jessica's condition and whether she was used to living here. He didn't dareto ask anything else more from her in person.
He could only ask from Lucas.
"It was a year ago that something bad happened to her in Twentyseven Hotel. She was supposed toget engaged the next day and was abandoned by her fiancé."
