Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 264

Lucas was going to stay in the ward to take care of Jessica.

But it was inconvenient for a man to do so.

So Lan sent some of his trusted servants to take care of Jessica.

Gavin took Lucas to the next room so he could have some rest.

Perhaps Lucas was too tired, so he soon fell asleep.

Gavin sat up from the bed. He couldn't go to see Jessica now, so he wanted to go out to take a walk.

Unknowingly, Gavin walked to the old house where Emily used to live.

He stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and went in.

There was still the smell of blood when Jessica's face was injured.

Gavin felt he was back to that moment, the moment Emily died in that room, he seemed to be able to feel the pain Emily had suffered.

He muttered, "Emily, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of our daughter, and I didn't take good care of you."

"It was all my fault in the past. I failed the three of you. I promise you, from now on, I will never let them get hurt again. I will do my best to protect our children against anything to come."

Gavin swore that he wanted to make up for his previous mistakes.

He didn't stay much in the old house. He was afraid that something would happen to Jessica and went back to the hospital.

Gavin had been sitting at the door of Jessica's ward since returned. When the nurse finally came out, he asked about Jessica. He was relieved to hear that Jessica's condition was relatively stable and he went back to the next room.

Lucas was still sleeping.

Gavin sat by his bed and looked at Lucas's face without blinking.

Lucas was more like him, and Jessica was more like Emily.

It would be great if Emily were still alive. They would have a pair of children and a complete family.

Lucas was sleeping when she suddenly dreamt that Jessica was calling him.

He woke up immediately.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Gavin was staring at him and was shocked a little.

"Father, what are you doing?" Lucas suddenly asked with wide eyes.

Gavin immediately sat up from the bed and sat down in a chair beside him. "You didn't cover yourself with the quilt when you were sleeping. It's colder in the countryside. I was afraid that you would catch a cold. I just tucked it up for you."

"Oh, why weren't you sleeping? You're getting older now. You should take care of yourself."

When Lucas saw his father's worried face, he knew that he hadn't had much rest.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. After you get up, go to Jessica's ward to see her." Gavin was still worried that some complete strangers were taking care of Jessica, so he sent Lucas over.

"Thanks, Dad. I didn't expect you to care so much about my friend. By the way, you said that you were a friend of Jessica's mother, is that true?"

Lucas didn't even have time to ask before. Now he saw that Gavin was so worried about Jessica, he felt that Gavin might really was a friend of Jessica's mother.

Gavin had been plucking up the courage in his heart. He didn't know how to tell him that Jessica was his twin sister.

Now Lucas was curious, he thought maybe it was about to tell him everything about the past.

"Lucas." Gavin's lips quivered and he continued, "Actually..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lucas's phone rang.

Without looking, he knew that Oliver was the only one who would call him now.
