Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 269

A month later, Lucas still accompanied Jessica in the hospital all day.

Gavin had already started his work. There were many things unfinished, and he had to deal with them one by one. Therefore, he worked till very late every day.

His secretary advised him to take more rest.

But Gavin didn't seem to feel tired at all. Now he had a daughter, so he was more motivated and hard-working.

Although he couldn't stay by his daughter's side for the rest of his life, he had to create the best conditions for her to make up for her.

Therefore, visiting Jessica every morning was the biggest motivation for him to work every day.

Jessica's condition had improved, and sometimes she could say something though it sounded blurred.

She told Gavin that she was getting better and told him not to go to the hospital every day.

But Gavin still came to see her as usual.

Sometimes, he didn't let Jessica know that he had come. He just came to have a look and then left, afraid that Jessica would feel stressed.

Later, when Jessica could eat some normal food, Gavin personally cooked for her and made some Birmingham specialties.

Jessica had already got sick of liquid food provided by the hospital. She ate the Chicken A L King made by Gavin and felt it was so delicious.

Gavin specially cooked this dish for her in order to make her wound heal quickly.

The wound on Jessica's face began to heal.

This was the most painful time because the wound was particularly itchy during the process of scarring.

Gavin and Lucas were even more worried about her.

When Jessica saw the father and son of the Kim family were worried about her, she endured the pain in front of them.

On the day Jessica took off the gauze, Gavin and Lucas were both at the door of the hospital ward.

Lucas went into the ward first.

Gavin had been uneasy at the door.

He had only seen Jessica in the photos.

When he first met Jessica, he only saw her face wrapped in gauze. Now he was about to see her face, and he was extremely nervous.

He didn't know the treatment effect. He was even more afraid that Jessica would be sad when she saw her scarred face.

It was hard for a beautiful girl to accept that she had suddenly become scarred. It was really hard for her to accept the fact.

Gavin was outside, so he couldn't hear clearly what Lucas was saying.

Soon, Lucas came out of the room.

Gavin pulled Lucas aside and asked secretly, "Is Jessica in a bad mood now?"

Lucas said, "Whoever looks at their scarred face will not be upset. I know she has endured it in front of me. Although she smiled and told me that she was fine, I saw sadness in her eyes."

"You should comfort her more. Tell her that the doctor has already said that when the wound on her face is healed, she will be arranged for plastic surgery. The plastic surgery technique here is excellent. She will look even more beautiful than before." Gavin said.

"I'm afraid she won't be able to accept plastic surgery. She said she already owes us too much and she doesn't want to cause any more trouble for us."

As Lucas spoke, he was extremely anxious. He continued, "Dad, why don't we tell Jessica that you are her father? In that case, she might feel better. What we're doing now can't make up for what she lost in the past."
