Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 158

As soon as he heard from the servants that Jessica had been called to the Old Residence by the old master, he knew something had happened and immediately drove back from the company.

Lambert said, "Hugh, tell grandpa that I'll send her back first."

"Okay."

Hugh turned around and returned.

Jessica thought about all these irritating things and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Just as she was about to fall down, Lambert caught her.

"Jessica, Jessica..." He shouted.

Jessica did not feel anything. But tears were streaming down her cheeks from the corner of her eyes.

Lambert asked the driver Garfield to drive straight to Williams Hospital.

Jessica's grandmother was downstairs, and Lannan, the nurse, was helping her take a walk. She saw a man carrying a woman upstairs in a panic. She took another look and thought it was Jessica.

"Lannan, take me there," Grandma said.

"Grandma, you can't be in a hurry now. We'll catch up right away." Lannan said.

Lambert carried Jessica into the elevator and went up to the ward on the 15th floor.

Grandma came to the door of the ward trembling, and she could see nothing inside clearly.

She saw Lambert standing by the window and walked over.

"Son, what was the name of the patient you just brought in?" Grandma said.

Lambert turned to look at the old woman behind him. She looked a little like Jessica. After a few seconds, he asked, "Are you Jessica's grandmother?"

Although Lambert had never seen Jessica's grandmother, he had helped when Jessica's grandmother was about to transfer to Williams Hospital. Later, because of Oliver's interference, Jessica's grandmother was not successfully transferred.

"I am. Is anything wrong with Jessica?" Grandma looked flustered.

"Grandma, don't worry. She fainted just now. The doctor is examining her."

Grandma's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she was distressed that her granddaughter suffered so much.

"Who are you?" Grandma asked.

"I'm Lambert." He said.

When grandma heard he was from the Williams family, she asked, "Where's Oliver? Why isn't he here to accompany Jessica?"

"He... He's busy."

Grandma almost didn't catch her breath when she heard this. Lannan immediately helped her aside to rest.

The doctor came out of the ward in a while. He walked to Lambert and said, "We did a preliminary examination. It's nothing serious. The patient hasn't woken up yet. We have to wait for her to wake up before we can do the further examination."

Lambert nodded and asked the doctor to leave first.

Lambert went into the ward with Jessica's grandma.

Her tears welled up when she saw Jessica ill in bed.

"Grandma, the doctor also said that there is nothing serious with her. She just needs to rest. She won't wake up for a while. You should go back and rest first." Lambert said.

Grandma looked stubborn. "I'm not leaving. I want to wait for Jessica to wake up."

Lambert signaled at Lannan.

Lannan stepped forward and said, "Grandma, let's go back to the ward and wait. If we are all here, we'll disturb Jessica's rest. This gentleman is here. He will inform us as soon as Jessica wakes up. It won't be too late for us to come back."

When grandma heard this, she was afraid that they would affect Jessica's rest, so she listened to Lannan and left Jessica's ward.
