Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 146

When Jessica woke up, she was in the Arto Hospital in Delft.

She opened her eyes and looked around. Not seeing Oliver, she was so scared that she sweated profusely. She got off the bed and walked out on bare feet.

Seeing the doctors and nurses, she felt a little relieved. It seemed that they were saved, but where was Oliver?

She walked to the front desk and tried to find Oliver's name. The nurse entered Oliver's name on the computer and couldn't find any records of Oliver.

Jessica couldn't believe it. It wasn't Oliver who brought her to the hospital. Who did that?

She had no idea what had happened last night. She could only remember looking at the lights on the ship with eager eyes. Then she had a blackout and lost consciousness.

She returned to the room anxiously. Without Oliver's whereabouts, she was on pins and needles. She couldn't find her cell phone just now. Maybe she dropped it in the water last night.

Jessica wanted to borrow a cell phone from a nurse and made a call.

At this time, the door of the room was opened and a tall man came in.

Jessica took a few steps back.

lan said with a smile, "Don’t be afraid. I was entrusted by your friend to send you to the hospital. At that time, your friend came to my cruise for help. I saved you."

When his doctor examined Jessica, he found out that she was pregnant, so lan sent Jessica to the nearest Arto Hospital immediately.

Jessica knew that the friend he was talking about was Oliver.

After the shooting last night, Jessica was very careful in her words. She was afraid that she would meet bad people and cause trouble for Oliver.

Since the man said he was a friend of Oliver, she also claimed to be friends with Oliver.

She asked anxiously, "Where's my friend? I want to see him. Do you know where he is?"

lan threw up his hands and shrugged his shoulders. "He's a mysterious man. I don't know where he went. He just asked me to take good care of you, so you don't have to be afraid of me."

He probably saw the fear in Jessica's eyes, so he comforted her.

Jessica asked, "Can I borrow your phone?"

Lucas took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Jessica. She dialed Oliver's phone number, but she couldn't get through to him.

Presumably, they were in the water for so long last night that their phones were broken.

However, if someone was already there to pick Oliver up, he would have got a new phone. He should have known that once she woke up, she would contact him.

However, why was his phone still not working after a night?

Jessica felt blood rushing into her head. She sat heavily on the bed and suddenly had an ominous presentiment.

She really didn't dare to think about it anymore and mumbled, "That's impossible, impossible..." The tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed and gushed out.

Seeing her like this, lan felt as if his heart had been clenched. He felt very uncomfortable. He walked up to comfort her and said, "Miss, don't worry. I'll help you find your friend.”

Jessica felt that she had lost her composure in front of an outsider. She wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve and sobbed as she called Simon.

It was midnight where Simon was. Because Oliver was not in Birmingham, Simon was on a vacation. Jessica was unable to get through Simon.

She said to lan, "I want to be discharged.”

lan had just asked the doctor about her condition. The doctor suggested that she stay in bed now, or the baby in her stomach would be very dangerous.

Jessica couldn't stay in the hospital for another second. "No, I have to leave.”

She put on her clothes and was about to walk out.

lan followed. "Where are you going? I'll take you there.”

"Sir, can you lend me some euros? I'll pay you back when I get to the hotel, okay?" Jessica said. "You can call me lan.” He smiled and said, "How are you going back to the hotel?"

"I'll take a taxi back."

Jessica said as she walked out, and lan walked side by side with her.

lan smiled. "This is a remote suburb. Where do you take a taxi? I'll take you back.”

Jessica did not refuse. She was unfamiliar here, so she agreed to take his car back to the No. 27 Hotel.

Jessica was sitting in the backseat. She was so anxious that she folded her hands, looking very nervous.

lan was driving in the front, and when he saw her in the back seat like this, he wanted to divert her attention.

"Where are you from?" He asked

Jessica had no intention of talking to him, but she had just asked him for help. If she did not answer, she would appear very impolite. So she casually replied, "Birmingham."

After that, she was afraid of revealing her identity.

However, since lan, who looked very kind, had saved her and sent her to the hospital, she didn't think it mattered.

lan said, "Coincidentally, I'm from Birmingham, and my father is from Birmingham."

Jessica didn't hear what lan said at all, just worried about Oliver's safety.

Seeing that Jessica had no intention of talking to him, lan shut up and started playing classical folk music.

Jessica was a little surprised when the music sounded. She didn't expect that she could hear music from her hometown in his car.

Only then did she come to her senses. lan had just said that he was also from Birmingham, and his father was from Birmingham.

However, everyone's faults were not written on their foreheads. Jessica didn't dare to say anything more to him.

She had been thinking about who wanted to hurt Oliver.

Could it be that Oliver had known about it long ago? So he had asked the lawyer to prepare the property documents for her to sign.

Thinking of this, Jessica burst into tears again.

The car soon arrived at the entrance of No. 27 Hotel.

Jessica asked lan to wait for her in the lobby. She wanted to go up first.

lan said, "Miss, you really want to go up alone? Someone is going to kill your friend. Maybe he's hiding upstairs waiting for you to show up. I'll go with you."

Jessica hesitated for a moment. Seeing that lan had already entered the elevator, she followed behind.

After Jessica entered the room, she looked around and saw no sign of Oliver.

The room was the same as when they left last night. Their pajamas were still on the bed because they left in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up.

As soon as lan saw the scene in the room, he understood the relationship between Oliver and Jessica. Long ago on the yacht, he suspected that they were a couple, and now it turned out that he was right.
