The crowd stepped back, and Oliver walked straight in with his long legs.
He saw Jessica standing in the lounge, next to a reporter with a camera.
Oliver snapped. "Alice, what are you doing?"
Jessica turned around and asked softly, "Oliver, why are you here?"
Oliver pulled her to his side.
Wendy had not come back to her senses from the awkwardness just now, and she was confused again.
Not only was she confused, but Alice was also at a loss. She didn't expect that the person Jessica fell in love with was Oliver.
Now the two of them were right in front of everyone, holding hands, completely ignoring the crowd around them.
Alice said, "Oliver, I didn't mean to."
Jessica said to Oliver in a low voice, "Mr. Zamani is not in good health. He almost fainted on the ground just now. I brought him to his room to rest. He has taken the first-aid medicine. Go and take a look."
She pulled Oliver to Henry, who was lying on the sofa.
Henry's eyes were half-closed, and his expression was very painful. He kept moaning, probably in great pain.
"Have you called an ambulance?"
"I just contacted his doctor. He should be here soon."
Oliver asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
In order to give Henry a quiet place to rest, Oliver asked the others to leave and said to Alice, "Stay here and take good care of your grandfather. Wait for the doctor to come. Call me if you need anything."
After that, he dragged Jessica downstairs.
Wendy didn't follow the crowd downstairs. She pulled Alice aside and kept apologizing.
Then Alice asked her to leave first.
Because she was preoccupied with her grandfather's illness.
Downstairs, Oliver took Jessica to a less crowded place and sat down in a comfortable chair.
"Are you tired? Let's go back first." Oliver said, "And call me in case of an emergency in the future."
Oliver had just heard that Jessica had dragged Henry into the lounge.
She was pregnant and wearing high heels. Oliver was afraid that something bad would happen to her.
"It's okay. I don't need to socialize. I was just looking around and happened to meet Mr. Zamani... He knew my name and probably knew me. It was a time of emergency. He asked me to go to his room to get the medicine for him. Before I could think of anything else, I had to drag him into the room first."
"I don't mean to blame you. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
"Okay." As soon as she sat down, she didn't want to get up again and readily agreed.
Soon, Oliver brought two plates over. He specially added a lamb chop and a lot of vegetable salad to Jessica's plate.
They sat there, eating and drinking, chatting and laughing as if they were on a date.
At this moment, Wendy came over with Scott.
"Mr. Williams, why are you hiding here?" Scott said.
"My wife is tired. So we take a rest here and have something to eat."
