Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 273

Jessica was pacing back and forth in the ward nervously since she was going to know the realidentity of the man on that night.

Someone knocked on the door at this moment. Lucas finally arrived.

Jessica had butterflies in her stomach when Lucas turned on his laptop. She was so nervous that shecould hear her heart beating like a drum.

Lucas started to play the video that recorded the image of the floor where Jessica's room was on.They could see the door of Jessica's room clearly on the screen.

A man entered the room in a wheelchair.

Jessica was shocked at the moment she saw the wheelchair.

How could there be a wheelchair?

"Is this man in a wheelchair your fiancé?" Lucas asked.

He couldn't recognize the man in the wheelchair because he could only see the back of him fromthe vague video. He had also never seen the fiancé of Jessica, so it was hard for him to make ajudgment.

“No... No."

Jessica's voice began to tremble. Her face turned paler and the scar on her face appeared moreobvious.

"Can you make the video clearer?” Jessica asked

She didn't want to be muddleheaded anymore, even though she already had an answer by merelyseeing the back of the man in the wheelchair.

She just didn't want to admit it.

She would rather that the man in the video was Lambert.

But why was it him?

Seeing that Jessica was a little emotional, Lucas asked, "Is he someone you know?"

"I'm not sure yet. Could you please make the video clearer?" Jessica replied.

"Yes, of course. Don't worry. I brought it over here today in advance because I didn't want you to betoo anxious. Give me some more time. I will definitely make it clear for you.”

After speaking, Lucas drove home in a hurry and went back to work.

Jessica collapsed on the bed as soon as Lucas left.

She hid her whole body in the quilt and cried bitterly inside.

Why did fate play such a trick on her? If she had known earlier that the man was Oliver, they wouldnot have ended up like this.

She might still have had some affection for Oliver before.

It was gone at the moment she saw his back in the wheelchair.

The only feeling that she had for him now was hatred.

He kept hurting her after he had ruined her life for the first time. In the end, he killed his childunknowingly.

Oliver, you are such a jerk.

But she hated herself even more than she hated him.

She fell in love with him just because he treated her a little bit better during the time when she losther memory.

From the beginning to the end, she was nothing but a chess piece for him to play with,

Jessica was in despair.

She didn't feel better at all after crying.

She was completely numb now.

She didn't even want to confront Oliver.

Neither did she want to hear his explanation.

The only thing she wanted now was to stay away from everyone so that no one could disturb her.She tried to see the world more clearly by isolating herself.

Jessica felt extremely empty at this moment, not knowing what was real and what was fake.Everything seemed like nothing to her. Even her entire body was weightless.

Jessica had been curled up in the quilt. Lucas saw her lying in bed motionless when he came back.He had a sense of foreboding immediately.

"Jessica, are you okay?" He shouted.

There was no reply at all.

Lucas was frightened and called the doctor at once.

After that, he called Gavin.

Hearing that something was wrong with Jessica's emotions, Gavin asked his secretary to drive himto the hospital immediately.

When he arrived, the doctor had already given Jessica an injection of sedative. She was sleeping inpeace.

"Lucas, what the hell happened? Wasn't she doing well? Why couldn't she speak suddenly?" Gavinasked anxiously.

"I don't know. She was fine when I showed the half-recovered video to her in the morning. She toldme to bring it to her again after I fixed it completely at home. But she was different when I cameback in the afternoon. She covered herself in the quilt and didn't make any reactions when I pulledback the quilt and called her. She was just lying there motionlessly as if she didn't hear me at all.”Gavin then turned to the doctor.

The doctor said, "The patient may have been shocked. We need a psychiatrist to diagnose her assoon as she wakes up."

Gavin and Lucas sat outside the ward, waiting for Jessica to wake up.

They wished that she would return to normal after she woke up.

But they also knew that it was just a wish.

Gavin had already made an appointment with a psychiatrist, who was coming over in an hour.

The sedative only allowed Jessica to sleep in peace for more than an hour.

Sure enough, she woke up soon.

Gavin stepped forward and spoke to her softly, "Jessica, I'm your uncle, Gavin. I happened to passby the hospital so I came to visit you. Can you hear me?"

Jessica didn't make any reactions.

Lucas pulled Gavin aside. "Jessica, I'm your brother. If you can hear me, just blink to let me know."Jessica used to blink to interact with others when she couldn't speak due to the serious wound onher face.

But it didn't work now.

Jessica's eyes were blank. There was no expression on her face.

The two of them flustered more now.

Later, the doctor gave Jessica a thorough examination.

He said that Jessica's current state was a kind of stress reaction after being shocked.

It would be very dangerous if she kept this state for a long time.

She had to be treated soon. It was not too late.

Gavin agreed and promised they would do everything that the doctor thought was helpful.

Gavin, who had been decisively in the business circle, began to feel restless.

He was mad at himself for letting such an accident happen to Jessica when he was taking care ofher.

Perhaps, he should have told her earlier that he and Lucas were her father and brother.

She might have recovered with the warmth and care of her family.

He regretted not listening to Lucas.

Lucas understood what his father was thinking from the sad expression on his face. He suddenly feltthat his father had aged a lot.

Lucas comforted him. "Dad, don't worry. Now that the medical science is well developed, we willreplace a way to cure Jessica.”

The doctor offered a few treatment options after asking Lucas and Gavin about Jessica's condition.They agreed to try art therapy for one period and saw how it went.

They decided to tell Jessica at a proper time that she was not living alone in this world. She had herfather and brother with her, who could look after her and give her love and care.

The company of family would be the best cure.
