Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 184

Ever since Lambert knew that Jessica had completely recovered her memory, he was not in charge of her as strictly as before. He knew that Jessica would never forgive Oliver for what he had done to her.

When she made phone calls at home, he was not as alert as before.

This was exactly what Jessica wanted. She wanted Lambert to relax his vigilance.

Sometimes, when Lambert called in the study, he even didn't hide from Jessica.

Jessica stayed in the studio almost every night. She had to observe Lambert's reaction and find the proper opportunity to go out.

When Lambert was in the study, there were almost endless phone calls. As long as it was about the company, he would not answer the phone out of the study. Unless it was something personal, he would go out or go downstairs to answer the phone.

Jessica had already figured out the rules.

It was time to go to the hospital for a regular obstetrical examination. This time, Lambert didn't insist on going with her.

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Lambert had been very busy recently because of the company.

In particular, the development of new real estate that Lambert mentioned many times over the phone referred to the plan for the land that had been tossed and turned from the Zamani family and eventually belonged to the Williams Group.

Therefore, he should not be available leave the company this time.

Lambert told Amy and Annie to accompany Jessica to the hospital for obstetrical examination.

Sure enough, except for Jessica and the doctor in the examination room, no matter where they went out, Amy and Annie were sticking to Jessica like two pieces of sticking plaster.

Jessica directly said, "Now that I'm already at the hospital. I want to drop by the inpatient department and see my grandma."

This time, Amy and Annie were prepared.

They had already asked Lambert for permission. If Jessica wanted to see her grandma, Lambert would have agreed to let her go.

"Sure, Miss White." They said in unison.

Jessica was a little surprised to hear such a straightforward promise. She thought that it might take a lot of trouble. Perhaps they would have to ask Lambert for permission.

She was suspicious for a moment, afraid that there was some trick.

Lambert had previously refused to let her visit grandma on the grounds of the child and her health, but this time he agreed directly.

Jessica hesitated and went straight to the inpatient building.

Walking along the road, she was also thinking about how to get rid of these pieces of sticking plaster, afraid that Lambert would find something, and then her attempt would have been ruined.

However, there was no better way to avoid Amy and Annie now, so she had to enter the elevator with them.

At the door of her grandma's ward, Jessica said, "I want to have a private conversation with my grandma."

She thought that the request was not too much. After all, her grandma had nothing to threaten them with.

But Amy and Annie began to look embarrassed. "Miss White, Mr. Williams specifically told us to keep you safe, so..."

That meant they would follow Jessica in and kept an eye on her and her grandma.

"Well then, you can come in." Jessica had no choice but to agree.

Her grandma was naturally happy to see Jessica coming, but it was a little strange to see two women following behind her, like two doormen.
