Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 233

At that time, Jessica asked him for help in order to find Oliver's whereabouts.

He watched Jessica fidgeting in the room and failing to sleep all night.

In order to get Jessica out of danger, Oliver asked him to take care of Jessica and then left alone against all the odds.

Unexpectedly, Oliver's attitude seemed to show that they became estranged from each other. "Which hospital is she staying in? Please take me to see her.” lan said.

"How long are you going to stay here? What I promised you doesn't change. If you need any help, you can go straight to my assistant.”

In a moment, Simon came over.

Oliver said to Simon, "You drive Mr. lan to Jessica later, and then prepare a car for him."

"Yes, Mr. Williams."

lan couldn't wait to see Jessica. He got up and was about to leave.

However, Oliver was still in his seat.

"Let's go together,” lan called.

Oliver refused. "I have to meet a friend here later. I won't go with you."

lan knew that his guess was right. As expected, there was a problem between Jessica and Oliver. Simon opened the car door and waited for lan to get in.

Simon informed the hospital in advance, asking the nursing assistant to tell Jessica that there would be a guest visiting later.

Since Simon didn't say who the guest was, Jessica didn't take it to heart because there were always some uninvited guests visiting her recently.

She was so bored in the hospital that she asked Lannan, the former nursing assistant, to bring her wool, and continued to knit some clothes for her unborn baby.

When lan came in, Jessica was in bed, busy knitting.

lan leaned against the door, looking at Jessica who was busy knitting with her head lowered. It had been a long time since he saw Jessica, and he didn't expect her to be in such a bad state.

Her face was pale and thin, and she didn't look very energetic.

He had been standing at the door for a few seconds, but Jessica didn't seem to notice him.

lan knocked on the doorpost.

Hearing that, Jessica looked up and was surprised to see that it was lan.

"lan, why are you in Birmingham?" Jessica smiled as if she had seen an old friend.

"Why haven't you taken care of yourself after going back?" As lan spoke, he walked in

"Sit down. I have difficulty getting up now.” She said.

lan took a chair and sat in front of Jessica's bed. "I heard from your husband that you can only lie on the bed now."

When Jessica heard the word "husband", which referred to Oliver, a trace of bitterness flashed across her face.

As lan spoke, he kept staring at her, naturally catching the change in her expression.

"What exactly happened between you two? You two both cared about each other regardless of your own safety. How could you two change so much?”

"It's a long story. Let's not talk about it." Seeing lan, Jessica felt that it had been a long time since she was so happy. "When did you come?"

"I just arrived today, and I wanted to see you. I happened to meet Oliver. He asked Simon to send me over."

Jessica immediately avoided talking about Oliver.

"Unfortunately, I can't go out now. I should do my best to serve you as a hospitable host."

"It's okay. You can entertain me here."

Jessica arranged with the nursing assistant about going to the hospital's restaurant, ordering some Birmingham specialties, and bringing them to her ward later.

She remembered that lan had said before that his father was from Birmingham, but later his family immigrated to Europe and settled down. Now, lan came back, perhaps to visit his family.

Jessica asked, "Do you have any relatives in Birmingham now?"

lan shook his head. "I don't know. My father never let me come back. This time I have come to Birmingham but don't tell him. I want to visit the city where he used to live. Most importantly, I miss you."

Jessica suddenly felt a little shy. After all, they met only once in Holland, and they were unfamiliar with each other.

Jessica was not sick of him. She felt he was like an old friend when they met today. Besides, she hadn't thanked lan for his help before.

"How long are you going to stay here?" She asked.

"I don't know yet. Considering your current situation, I plan to wait for you to give birth to the child before I leave." lan said seriously.

Jessica chuckled as if she had forgotten all her troubles. She had the pleasure of chatting with lan. "You may have to stay a little longer.”

"What about letting me be your baby's godfather?" He asked.

It seemed that lan was determined to be related to Jessica.

"I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble, so forget it." Jessica refused decisively.

She didn't want to bring lan any trouble.

In the past, she thought that Lambert was the father of her unborn child, and then she confirmed that Oliver was the father.

It seemed that something bad would happen if anyone got involved with her unborn child.

She was not superstitious, just in case she would cause trouble to him.

It was not easy for her to have a friend like lan, so she didn't want anything bad to break their friendship.

lan didn't expect Jessica to reject him so quickly, because many children in Holland wanted to recognize him as their godfather.

Besides, recognizing him as the godfather could gain many benefits.

He knew that he would never have a child of his own in his life.

He wanted to be the godfather of Jessica's child, but he didn't expect to be rejected. He looked surprised.

Jessica seemed to notice his displeasure. She wanted to talk straight to lan, so she refused him directly.

"Don't think too much. It's mainly because we're too far away. I might not go to Holland anymore. Forget it.” She said.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about that.” Ian didn't want to dwell on what hadn't happened yet.

After a while, the nursing assistant brought the dishes into the ward. There were four appetizers, four main dishes, and a bowl of soup.

The two of them were eating at the table next to Jessica's bed.

lan kept picking up food for Jessica with the serving chopsticks. "You're too thin now. You need to eat more. Girls need to be fatter to look good.”

He sounded like a big brother.

Jessica asked, "Are the dishes delicious here?"

"Yes. It's much more delicious than the food I ate at the restaurants.”
