Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 208

"I just came in. When did you come back?" Jessica asked as if nothing had happened.

Lambert looked at Jessica fixedly. "Just now. Grandpa is sick. Let's go to the hospital to see him tomorrow."

Jessica was nervous, and she almost couldn't hide the panic in her heart. When she heard that Jeff was sick, she was also shocked.

"What happened to grandpa?" Jessica took a breath and asked, "Hasn't he been fine before?"

"He's getting old, and he has a heart disease, and he has a stroke this time."

Jessica only met Jeff a few times, but Jeff was good to her.

But then, there was a series of news about Oliver. When he saw her again, he became cold to her.

But Jessica still felt sorry to know that Jeff had a stroke.

"Grandpa is sick. Will our wedding continue?"

Since Jeff was ill, Lambert should do his best to take care of Jeff in the hospital. Perhaps they could put their wedding on hold.

"Our wedding plan remains the same." Lambert saw through what Jessica was thinking and let her down.

"Grandpa is sick, and the atmosphere at home is also not good. We will hold the wedding as usual. It's a happy thing, and maybe it will help grandpa to get better."

Jessica sneered. What an excuse.

"I see."

After that, Jessica was about to leave the studio. She didn't seem to remember what she was going to do just now.

Lambert said, "Didn't you come here to paint?"

Jessica came back to her senses. "Oh, right. I forgot what I wanted to do when you mentioned grandpa's illness. I'm not in the mood to paint now. I want to go out for a walk."

"Come into my study. I have something to show you."

Jessica had no choice but to follow Lambert into the study.

Just as Lambert took something out of the cabinet with his back to her, Jessica scanned his study.

At a glance, she saw a note on the table with a string of numbers, which should be a phone number.

Jessica remembered the numbers silently. She had a good memory.

Lambert turned around, took out a gold jewelry box, and slowly opened it.

Jessica saw a diamond ring in the box. The diamond on it was as big as a pigeon egg, shining brightly under the light.

Lambert took out the ring from the box, and Jessica couldn't help but clenched her hands.

"Give me your hand. Let me put it on for you," Lambert said.

Jessica had to extend her slightly stiff left hand, with her fist clenching.

"You don't have to be nervous. I'll buy you whatever jewelry you want."

Jessica did not say a word and just watched quietly. Lambert put the diamond ring to the middle finger of her left hand.

Lambert asked, "Do you like it?"

"Yes." Jessica was afraid to look straight into Lambert's eyes. She looked at the ring on her hand and said, "Can I take it off? There's no need to wear it at home. And it's not suitable for me to wear it to the hospital tomorrow."

"Grandpa will be happy to see it." He said.

Jessica said, "Okay, thank you."

Jessica and Lambert went to Williams Hospital to visit Jeff the next day in the morning.
