Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 233

At that time, Jessica asked him for help in order to find Oliver's whereabouts.

He watched Jessica fidgeting in the room and failing to sleep all night.

In order to get Jessica out of danger, Oliver asked him to take care of Jessica and then left alone against all the odds.

Unexpectedly, Oliver's attitude seemed to show that they became estranged from each other.

"Which hospital is she staying in? Please take me to see her." Ian said.

"How long are you going to stay here? What I promised you doesn't change. If you need any help, you can go straight to my assistant."

In a moment, Simon came over.

Oliver said to Simon, "You drive Mr. Ian to Jessica later, and then prepare a car for him."

"Yes, Mr. Williams."

Ian couldn't wait to see Jessica. He got up and was about to leave.

However, Oliver was still in his seat.

"Let's go together," Ian called.

Oliver refused. "I have to meet a friend here later. I won't go with you."

Ian knew that his guess was right. As expected, there was a problem between Jessica and Oliver.

Simon opened the car door and waited for Ian to get in.

Simon informed the hospital in advance, asking the nursing assistant to tell Jessica that there would be a guest visiting later.

Since Simon didn't say who the guest was, Jessica didn't take it to heart because there were always some uninvited guests visiting her recently.

She was so bored in the hospital that she asked Lannan, the former nursing assistant, to bring her wool, and continued to knit some clothes for her unborn baby.

When Ian came in, Jessica was in bed, busy knitting.

Ian leaned against the door, looking at Jessica who was busy knitting with her head lowered. It had been a long time since he saw Jessica, and he didn't expect her to be in such a bad state.

Her face was pale and thin, and she didn't look very energetic.

He had been standing at the door for a few seconds, but Jessica didn't seem to notice him.

Ian knocked on the doorpost.

Hearing that, Jessica looked up and was surprised to see that it was Ian.

"Ian, why are you in Birmingham?" Jessica smiled as if she had seen an old friend.

"Why haven't you taken care of yourself after going back?" As Ian spoke, he walked in.

"Sit down. I have difficulty getting up now." She said.

Ian took a chair and sat in front of Jessica's bed. "I heard from your husband that you can only lie on the bed now."

When Jessica heard the word "husband", which referred to Oliver, a trace of bitterness flashed across her face.

As Ian spoke, he kept staring at her, naturally catching the change in her expression.

"What exactly happened between you two? You two both cared about each other regardless of your own safety. How could you two change so much?"

"It's a long story. Let's not talk about it." Seeing Ian, Jessica felt that it had been a long time since she was so happy. "When did you come?"

"I just arrived today, and I wanted to see you. I happened to meet Oliver. He asked Simon to send me over."
