Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 30

Jessica had not slept much all night. She sat in her office, feeling sulky.Soon, she remembered the doctor's words yesterday and began to feelworried.

“What should I do?"

If she decided to abort the child, and there was a big hemorrhage orother uncontrollable conditions in the process, she might die. Thenwhat about her grandma?

But if she didn't, Oliver would have killed her if he knew. No man couldaccept that his wife was pregnant with another man's child.

Jessica somehow admitted her identity as Mrs. Williams. She seemed tohave trapped herself in a dead-end. It was wrong to think so. She wasindeed not his legal wife, but just a temporary replacement.

Jessica still didn't want to give up. The private hospital she went to wasa small one. It was possible that the doctor could not handle such asituation. She decided to take an afternoon off and go to otherhospitals to ask.

She used a fake identity when she went to the private hospital so thatshe wouldn't be identified. But after she went to several large privatehospitals, she got the same bad news.

Then she took the risk and went to the best public hospital, however,the doctors didn't have a good way either.

After going out of the public hospital, Jessica went straight to WilliamsHospital to see her grandma.

Grandma saw the worried look on her face and asked with concern,"Jessica, is there anything wrong?"

Jessica immediately smiled and grabbed grandma's wrinkled hand."Nothing, grandma. I just started working, and I haven't fully adaptedyet."

"I'l be fine soon. You don't have to come to see me every day. Sinceyou're married, you have to put your family first."

"Grandma, don't worry. He's good to me. I'll bring him to see you whenhe is free.”

Jessica had told her about the breakup with Vincent and she married aman she fell in love with at first sight. That man often went abroad onbusiness, so he couldn't come to see grandma.

"You should go."

Her grandma was probably afraid that it would be not good for her forgoing home late and urged her to leave.

"Okay, grandma."

Jessica tucked grandma in and left.

She walked to the registration office on the first floor and had animpulse to check in Williams Hospital. This was the top hospital inBirmingham. Perhaps the doctors here had a way.

However, if the hospital leaked the news that Mrs. Williams had anabortion operation, it would seriously affect Oliver.

Jessica finally suppressed the urge and went straight back to GrandvilleApartments.

Oliver was in GrandVille Apartments now.

"Mr. Williams, madam went to a private hospital after seeing Vincentyesterday. She asked for leave today and went to several hospitals.”"Why did she go to the hospital? Didn't her grandmother be treatedwell in Williams Hospital?"

Oliver thought that Jessica went to the hospital because of hergrandmother's illness.

Simon began to sweat out of nervousness. "We found out that madamis pregnant through her medical records.”

“Pregnant?’

Oliver was stunned.

He used condoms every time they slept, not to mention that they hadonly done it twice. So she couldn't get pregnant so soon. He becamesuspicious.

Simon handed over the test results.

When Oliver saw the word "Eight weeks plus,” he was angry.

"Is that woman back?"

es:

"Don't let the housekeeper clean up the study. Also, replace a chance tofire Catherine.”

Simon replied reverently, "I'll do it right away.”

Oliver stayed alone in the study for half an hour before returning to thebedroom.

Jessica was sitting on the sofa in a daze. When she saw Oliver comingback, she felt a little bit guilty.

When she saw Oliver's eyes, she could feel the coldness in his eyes, likea sword aiming straightly at her. She subconsciously shivered.

“Does he know?" She knew this man was alert and suspicious.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?" He said in a cold and frighteningtone.

ES

Jessica's mind was in a whirl. She didn't know where to start. But sincehe asked, he had to be honest and talk to him frankly. After all, theywere partners.

"Let's talk about it."

"About what? About you being pregnant with another man's child andmarrying into the Williams Family?"

Jessica stared at the man. As she expected, he knew.

"I didn't mean to. I didn't know I'm pregnant at all. Besides, we're not areal couple.”

"You have already married me and still see other men. Who do youthink I am, some generous saint?"

"I have no other man since I married you. I've never betrayed you.”"I'm done with your lies."

"Who was the man you met at the coffee shop yesterday?"

"You followed me?"

"So what?"

Jessica felt that there was no point in arguing with this now. What wasimportant was the baby in her belly. "I beg you to believe me once. Ididn't betray you."

"Then prove it to me. Abort the baby.”

"l can't."

"What? Do I give you too much freedom and give you the illusion thatyou can do whatever you want?"

Jessica was so scared that her face turned pale.

"It's not that I don't want to abort the baby. I've been to many hospitalstoday. The doctors said that because of my health condition, I can'thave an abortion.”

"Do you think I am a fool?"

"It's true..."

"Shut up.”

Before Jessica could finish her sentence, Oliver interrupted her.

He was raged. The more she explained, the angrier he became. Theycould only talk about it tomorrow.

She just walked to the bed and wanted to sleep, Oliver grabbed her andsaid, "What? Do you still want to sleep on the bed? You are not allowedto sleep in my bed from now on."

"Alright, I'll go to the guest room."

"No way. Why do you sleep in a guest room? Are you a guest? You arenothing.”

Jessica no longer wanted to argue with Oliver. It was her own faultabout the pregnancy. She was willing to bear the consequences. Shecould totally understand Oliver's feeling, after all, she was oncebetrayed by Vincent.

"Then I'll sleep on the sofa."

"No."

"What do you mean?”

"The floor is the only place you can sleep on.”
