Oliver walked over and held Jessica in his arms.
Jessica was crying and didn't care if the man beside her was Oliver or somebody else.
A moment later, she gradually stopped.
"Why are you back?" Jessica asked.
She responded in a hoarse voice as she cried too much.
Oliver knew her pretty well and understood what she was saying. "I came back as soon as I heard about grandma's death. You should take good care of yourself. I'll deal with grandma's funeral."
"No, thank you. I'm OK. Grandma is my only family. I'll take care of everything for her."
"Come on. You don't need to push yourself so hard."
"Oliver, I'm not pushing myself. After all, we have nothing to do with each other now. I shouldn't bother you. I know you're busy."
"She was your grandmother. I once called her 'grandma'. Then she was also my grandmother. I can't just sit back and watch."
Jessica didn't want to mess with him anymore.
She was indeed unable to do it alone.
When grandma was alive, Jessica couldn't make her live with ease.
Instead, she always made her worried.
Now that grandma was gone, she didn't want to send her away so carelessly.
Some time ago, grandma often had nightmares. It was probably because she was too worried about her that she passed away. Jessica thought she was responsible for her grandma's death.
Otherwise, grandma wouldn't have died so soon.
The more Jessica thought about it, the more she regretted it. She regretted that she was pregnant with this child.
Perhaps if she had risked having an abortion, she and her grandma might be living a peaceful and stable life in the countryside.
After all, the hospital was not home.
This place was not suitable for a normal life.
But it was too late.
Oliver was even more upset when he saw that Jessica had been staying in her grandma's ward.
He asked the nurse to send Jessica back.
Her body was very weak now. If she continued to act like this, she would be exhausted.
Since her grandma died, Jessica hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the two days. She had been on a drip to get some energy.
Jessica insisted on attending her grandmother's funeral.
Oliver asked her former classmates and friends including Sally and Hayden to take turns to accompany her.
No one could convince her.
Jessica arrived at the funeral that day, but she was in a wheelchair.
Other things were indeed arranged by Oliver.
Jessica had a nurse by her side all the time to take care of her.
Just before the memorial service was over, the nurse found that Jessica's face was pale and she didn't look well.
The nurse immediately asked Oliver to send Jessica to the hospital.
Oliver arranged for Simon to drive Jessica to the hospital immediately.
At that time, Jessica was almost unconscious.
There were still a lot of things to deal with at the funeral, so after Jessica left, Sally came to receive the people who came to mourn on behalf of the Youngren family.
