Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 223

It turned out that, after being dumped to the ground, she completely gave up hope of being spared by Toby.

But the way he treated her, using her as a fire extinguisher to put out the fire, was so hateful. After all, they had been in love for so long!

In a fit of anger, she picked the lighter on the ground, lit it, and threw it directly to the oil tank.

It was too late for Toby to stop her. That was why there has been an explosion and a sea of fire later.

Tracy was adept at swimming. Although she was injured and there were police behind her,

She forced herself to stand up and jumped into the sea.

Toby found that the situation was out of control so he jumped into the sea as well.

In the midst of the lightning, there was a huge fire on the yacht, followed by a loud roar.

The yacht exploded.

The police in the back came to search and rescue.

When they got closer, they searched carefully and found that there was no one on the yacht. They guessed that they should have jumped into the water.

Because Tracy's lower body was bleeding, the police quickly followed the blood trace in the water to find her whereabouts.

Soon, two police officers found the dying Tracy and saved her.

They made an emergency call and rushed her to the hospital.

The rest of the police continued to search for Toby at sea.

They searched for a long time but didn't find him.

...

In the hospital.

Jessica had already woken up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Oliver sitting by the bed.

Oliver was probably too tired and fell asleep by the bed.

Jessica wanted to sit up. And the rustling sound woke Oliver up.

Oliver became alert and looked up, only to find that Jessica was awake.

Oliver said with concern, "The doctor said that you should stay in bed and not move around."

"How long have I been unconscious?" Jessica asked.

She didn't even know what time it was or where she was now.

"It's only a few hours. Don't worry too much. I'm sorry. I was late there. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in danger." Oliver said apologetically.

Hearing Oliver said this, Jessica recalled the previous gunfight.

Jessica still had lingering fears.

What had happened before was completely unexpected to her. She did not expect that she had a life-threatening experience with Oliver again.

If she was not lucky, she might have died!

Fortunately, they were alive and well in the hospital.

Jessica then remembered the injured Tom.

She said, "Didn't Mr. Quinn get hurt? Has the doctor said anything about him? How's he going?"

She felt guilty because she caused Tom to be shot.

"His physical condition is not good now. The medical conditions in this small place are poor. When his physical condition is stable, I will take him back to Birmingham."

Jessica felt sorry for him.

She thought of her grandma. She was in the hospital and didn't know where she was.

"Where's my grandma? Is she okay?" Jessica asked anxiously.
