Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 275

Just as they saw that Jessica was getting better, she fell into another deadlock.

Why Oliver did treat her and her child like that?

If she hadn't become a person without identity in Birmingham, she would like to ask him about what happened that night.

However, if she went back now, she would destroy everything the Kim family had done in Birmingham for her.

Jessica's heart was tangled.

She also had strong mood swings between negative and positive.

Even she herself couldn't control her emotions at all.

After the accident, Jessica returned to her state before and locked herself in her room every day. She ate very little of the food that the servants delivered her.

Seeing Jessica lose weight day by day, Gavin could no longer pretend to be out of the way.

He discussed with Barbara and decided to tell Jessica the truth.

It was also a hair of the dog.

If Jessica continued to be depressed and missed the critical treatment period, it would be very difficult for her to fully recover.

Lucas agreed with Gavin's decision.

They just needed timing.

Gavin took out all the photos of Emily he had and asked the secretary to enlarge and print them.

Then, he moved Emily's album, "The Rose", which he had been keeping in the study, to the living room, and played it to Jessica during dinner.

One day.

Jessica wanted to take a walk outside.

Lucas secretly followed her when he saw her go downstairs, mainly because he was afraid that she would do something to hurt herself.

The courtyard of the Kim family was large, and rockery and stream were specially designed inside.

It would be difficult to find her immediately if she disappeared in it.

When Jessica went downstairs, she felt something changed in the living room.

Although she didn't go downstairs many times, she was good at memory. As long as she saw it once, she could feel the difference.

She was just temporarily in a bad mood, so she reacted slowly.

Lucas used his phone to turn on the LP player.

Just as Jessica was about to walk out, a pleasant voice came from the player.

Jessica stopped.

She was familiar with the song. When she was in Birmingham, she had seen grandma listening to it at home.

Back then, when grandma saw Jessica at the door and listened carefully, she turned it off.

As if she was hiding something. At that time, Jessica thought it was an adult's secret and did not take it to heart.

When she heard the song again, it was in Lucas's car. At that time, Lucas had been playing it all the way from Delft to Amsterdam.

Unexpectedly, she heard it here for the third time.

Only this time she felt particularly empathetic. She could no longer return to Birmingham.

The place where she grew up.

She was even more unfilial. In the end, she didn't go to grandma's funeral, but let the man she hated the most go for her.

Sadly, there was no place for her in such a big Birmingham. Someone wanted her to die.
