Just as everyone went to the cemetery to say goodbye to Jessica, Lan sent someone to drive Gavin and Jessica to Birmingham.
After getting on the plane, Gavin was relieved.
He asked the staff on the plane to take care of Jessica in the room.
He knew that he and Jessica were still strangers. He couldn't be too close, or else, Jessica would be very uncomfortable.
However, he had been guarding Jessica outside all the time.
If Lucas was around, the atmosphere between them would be better.
Lucas was supposed to board the plane and go back to Holland with them, but Gavin didn't agree.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion from others, especially Oliver, Gavin specifically asked Lucas to stay in QN Town for the time being.
Lucas also understood his father's intention and stayed until the end.
The next day, he returned to Birmingham.
Before he left, he called Oliver. It was Simon who answered.
It was a farewell call.
If Jessica didn't go back to Birmingham in the future, this might be the last time he came back.
He had to obey his father. Birmingham was not the place for the Kim family to come back.
As soon as Simon heard that Lucas was leaving, he drove to the Mose Clubhouse and wanted to take him to the airport.
Lucas did not refuse.
Along the way, Simon felt sorry for Oliver and Jessica.
Sadly, they would never see each other again.
Lucas was in no mood to listen to Simon about Oliver's sad stories at all. Instead, he was thinking about what's happening in Holland.
At Leiden Medical College.
As soon as the plane arrived, Jessica was sent to the inpatient department of the Leiden Medical College.
Gavin asked the secretary to invite the famous Nobel Laureate, Dr. William, and his team to treat the wound on Jessica's face.
The doctors examined the wound. It was very severe. Coupled with her scar constitution, it was difficult to restore her skin. Even the most powerful doctors could not.
Gavin said to the doctors that the safety of the patient was the main concern.
No matter what her face turned into, she was the most beautiful girl in his eyes, the precious daughter of him.
Jessica had a thorough examination at Leiden and was checked out that she was very weak.
It was mostly caused by touching water in the short term after she had given birth to a child. Her health was in great deficit and she needed to be slowly recuperated.
As Gavin listened to the doctors' analysis, he felt heartbroken.
He would rather that he bore all the pain than Jessica suffered any harm.
Because of his dereliction of duty, his daughter suffered a lot. And then his nose stung.
After arriving in Holland, Lucas went straight to the Leiden Medical School.
When he arrived, Jessica was sleeping.
And his father looked extremely haggard without seeing for two days. Gavin, he had seen since he was a child, was always energetic.
He said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." Gavin answered.
"I'm sorry. You're tired because of my friend. Now that I'm back, you can go home and have a good rest."said Lucas.
Gavin looked at Lucas's innocent face, but he didn't know how to put it.
