Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 277

When Jessica returned to her room, she sat at the desk again, picked up the pen and vented her anger with painting.

Since the last time she started drawing in Barbara's room, she had fallen in lov with painting.

Lucas asked the servants to prepare all the tools she needed to draw.

It was also Barbara's suggestion that painting was helpful to Jessica.

This time, what Jessica drew most was the image of a woman. However, there was blood on the woman's face, which looked frightening.

She drew a lot of paintings with different angles and scenes, and the women in the picture were all suffering.

Many things were hidden in her heart that she could not tell could only be expressed by the paintings.

She really cared about her face.

In particular, she saw that the former self in the photo. When she saw her face now, she just couldn't accept it.

She lost her baby and her family, and her face was disfigured. This series of blows were heart-breaking to her.

She now was one step away from being crazy! She felt like she was in a slow descent into madness.

Jessica's drawings were scattered all over the floor.

Perhaps she was tired, she lay on the bed and covered herself with a quilt.

Barbara noticed Jessica didn't close the door. She came in and picked up all the papers on the floor.

She saw Jessica's paintings.

She knew that Jessica was trying to save herself, but Jessica was struggling in pain.

Barbara recorded Jessica's condition every day.

She suggested that Jessica should undergo plastic surgery as soon as possible.

Judging from Jessica's recent paintings, the disfigurement of her face brought her a lot of trouble.

Jessica lost her child and family, but there was no way to remedy those mental injuries.

But making her pretty again was something that could be done.

Gavin had already started to find the best plastic surgeon for her so that she could receive the surgery anytime she agreed.

However, she still locked herself in her room and only went downstairs once in a while.

Once again, she stopped in front of Emily's portrait.

For some reason, the more she looked at the portrait on the wall, the more familiar she felt.

It seemed that when she looked at this portrait, she would get a rare peace of mind.

Jessica then went to take Zelda's photos and compared Zelda with the woman in the portrait. Jessica felt that there were too many similarities between them.

She remembered that Gavin had said that he was a friend of her mother. So he cared about her.

She did not believe that he would be so good to the child of a friend he had not contacted for so many years.

In particular, Gavin also bought a painting of Van Gogh for her.

He just gave away such a precious thing so easily. Jessica could not help but wonder what the relationship between him and her mother was.

For the first time, she mustered up the courage to knock on the door of Gavin's study.

Ever since she was here, he had been working more from home.

He heard a knock on the door and thought it was Lucas or Barbara who came to talk to him about Jessica.

"Come in." He said.
