When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed.
Noticing a tall figure in front of the window, she suddenly became nervous. The next thought that occurred to her was that Oliver had brought her to the hospital for an abortion.
The man standing there heard the rustling of the bed and turned around. "Are you awake?"
"Lambert, why are you here?"
"I was just passing by the street ahead and saw you fainting on the side of the road, so I brought you to the nearest hospital."
"Thank you."
Jessica said as she sat up and was about to get up.
"The doctor said you should rest more."
When Lambert had just sent Jessica to the hospital, the doctor asked about the patient's condition. He hadn't seen Jessica for a few days, so he didn't know how to answer. After examining her, the doctor immediately found out that the patient was pregnant.
The doctor who examined Jessica was an old lady. She said to Lambert earnestly, "Young man, you are too careless. Your wife has been pregnant for a few months and but you don't even know it. I really don't understand you, young people. You're really irresponsible."
Only then did Lambert know that Jessica was pregnant.
"I'm fine. I just need a rest. Lambert, you should go back first. Sorry to trouble you."
"Let me call Oliver. If you're OK, I'll ask him to pick you up."
"No, Lambert, no." Jessica quickly stopped Lambert, who had just taken out his phone and was about to dial.
She didn't want to bother that man because of her pregnancy, which would make her situation worse.
"Does he know you're pregnant now?"
Jessica looked at Lambert in a daze. "Yes."
After that, she quickly turned her face away. She could not explain to Lambert that the child had nothing to do with Oliver. It was inappropriate to bother Oliver.
Seeing Jessica's uneasy expression, Lambert walked to Jessica's bedside and comforted her to lie down.
At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly opened.
The two people in the room raised their eyes at the same time and looked at the door. The man at the door was like a ghost from the hell, with a chilling aura.
Oliver said coldly, "I guess I came at a bad time. Did I disturb you?"
Lambert stood up. "You're here at the right time. I'm leaving. Take good care of your wife."
"Of course I'll take care of my wife." Oliver said, laying a particular emphasis upon the words 'my wife.'
The two tall men stood in the ward with a strong hostility in their words, which made the atmosphere in the small ward even tenser. Jessica felt more uneasy.
She forced a smile and said to Lambert, "Lambert, thank you for sending me to the hospital. You can go back first."
Lambert ignored Oliver, walked around him, and strode away.
Oliver walked to Jessica's bed and looked at her in a commanding manner. "It seems that Lambert didn't know the truth."
"You can leave too."
"Can't you stop causing trouble? You didn't let Simon send you to the hospital when you're sick, but you called Lambert over. Are you happy to see a lot of men around you?"
