Lambert looked at his mother suspiciously. He said, "Mother, why has your relationship with Jessica suddenly improved?"
"That's because I am open-minded, and she is smart, so..." Before Vicky could finish her sentence, she saw Lambert staring at her without blinking and was too guilty to continue.
"I said I would marry her. No one can stop me, not even you."
Vicky did not dare to say anymore.
"Next time I bring her back, I hope you can treat her well," Lambert said.
"She has already decided to leave. Of course, she won't let you find her easily." Vicky didn't understand Lambert, as if it was easy to find Jessica.
She was a very smart and flexible woman.
Because of what Jessica had done in front of her, Vicky felt that everything was flawless. She immediately knew that Jessica was not a pushover that Lambert could handle.
If her son fell deeper, he would be ruined by Jessica sooner or later.
Lambert sneered. "Even if she runs to the ends of the earth, I have a way to make her come back obediently."
Of course, he never wanted to use this method.
However, it was not up to him now.
Lambert didn't send anyone out to look for Jessica anymore. He just arranged for people in Williams Hospital to keep an eye on Jessica's grandmother.
He didn't believe that Jessica would completely ignore her grandmother.
As long as her grandmother was still in the hospital, Jessica would be the kite in his hand. No matter how far she ran, he would pull the rope casually and pull her to his side.
...
Jessica slept on the berth for a whole day and night and finally arrived in York.
This was a small town in the south.
The city here was not as urbanized as Birmingham.
However, there were also people from all over the country. If she, a stranger, stayed here, it would not be very abrupt.
Jessica found a hotel and checked in first.
It was her first time here, and she didn't know much about the local customs. At that time, she just wanted to escape from Lambert and this place was far away from Birmingham, so she came to this strange city.
The first thing she did when she arrived here was to buy a new phone card.
She didn't dare to use the former phone card. She was afraid that Lambert had done something to her phone which would expose her whereabouts.
She left Birmingham safely, but her grandma was still living in Williams Hospital. She had to contact her grandma's former nurse, Lannan, to let her see if her grandma was okay.
Jessica was not sure if Lambert would do anything bad to her grandma.
In the past, she felt that Lambert would never hurt her, but the more she knew about him during the time she lived with him, the more she felt that Lambert was scary.
This was the exact opposite feeling of Oliver.
She didn't know why she thought of Oliver, the man who could only be live in another parallel life forever.
She could choose not to hate him, but she would never forgive him.
Jessica went to a new place with a myriad of thoughts and ideas in her mind.
She had been away for a few days, and she worried about her grandma most.
After buying the phone card, she called Lannan first.
Lannan was surprised to hear from Jessica. "Miss White, where are you now?"
Because when Lannan was forced out of Williams Hospital, she was very reluctant but could not contact Jessica at all, so she had to give up.
