Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 93

The lights were on.

A private plane landed on the tarmac nearest to the hospital.

When Oliver arrived at the hospital, the doctor was setting an I.V. for Jessica.

She had been throwing up a lot recently because of her pregnancy. She vomited whatever she ate. Her face was a little sallow, and her eyes were sunken. She looked listless and soon she fell asleep soon after her I.V.

After Jessica fell asleep, Oliver went into the ward and looked at the woman lying on the bed. She looked haggard and her brows drew together. Her arms were exposed, and her fists were clenched. She looked nervous and guarded even in her sleep.

The man bent down gently, pulled up Jessica's small fist, put it in the quilt, and helped tuck in the corner of the quilt.

These days of running made her seem like a different person. The man's eyes were dark and deep, filled with emotions hard to tell.

After a while, the nurse told him not to stay in the ward too long, because when Jessica fell asleep, she would suddenly wake up as if she had been frightened.

Oliver's mouth moved slightly and left the ward.

Sure enough, Jessica woke up after a short sleep. Suddenly, a familiar cold fragrance filled her nose. Although it was mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the ward, she could tell that it was from Oliver.

She looked at the nurse in the ward suspiciously. "Has anyone been here before?"

The nurse's hand, which was sorting out the documents, paused for a moment and she immediately said with a natural smile, "Miss White, a doctor from the joint consultation just came over."

Jessica just thought that perhaps she was too guarded and thought too much. If the man found out, she would have been thrown out of the hospital long ago. Besides, there was no unique fragrance in the world, so she didn't think much about it.

Perhaps after living in the advanced ward, she had better rest, and Jessica's appetite was a little better. She had a complete patient meal in the evening.

Oliver went back to Birmingham after seeing Jessica.

Martin scolded him on the way back.

"I still have something to do. I don't want to leave now." Martin said reluctantly.

"What do you have to do? Don't tell me you want to see a friend."

"I want to revisit this city."

"Aren't you going to reminisce with Sally?"

"Mr. Williams, why are you so clear about other people's affairs? Why are you a fool when it comes to your own affairs?"

Oliver was reminded of the woman lying on the hospital bed when he said that. There was no glory in her as she usually had, which was all caused by him.

Maybe he really should let that woman go. It was not like that he had to keep her. He didn't know why he had to keep her by his side in the past. The doctor was right: he should face his own problems.

After returning to Birmingham, Oliver never went to Lambola City to see Jessica again. Recently, he was busy going to see Larry.
