Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 264

Lucas was going to stay in the ward to take care of Jessica.

But it was inconvenient for a man to do so.

So Lan sent some of his trusted servants to take care of Jessica.

Gavin took Lucas to the next room so he could have some rest.

Perhaps Lucas was too tired, so he soon fell asleep.

Gavin sat up from the bed. He couldn't go to see Jessica now, so he wanted to go out to take a walk.

Unknowingly, Gavin walked to the old house where Emily used to live.

He stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and went in.

There was still the smell of blood when Jessica's face was injured.

Gavin felt he was back to that moment, the moment Emily died in that room, he seemed to be able to

feel the pain Emily had suffered.

He muttered, "Emily, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of our daughter, and I didn't take good care of

you."

"It was all my fault in the past. I failed the three of you. I promise you, from now on, I will never let them

get hurt again. I will do my best to protect our children against anything to come."

Gavin swore that he wanted to make up for his previous mistakes.

He didn't stay much in the old house. He was afraid that something would happen to Jessica and went

back to the hospital.

Gavin had been sitting at the door of Jessica's ward since returned. When the nurse finally came out,

he asked about Jessica. He was relieved to hear that Jessica's condition was relatively stable and he

went back to the next room.

Lucas was still sleeping.

Gavin sat by his bed and looked at Lucas's face without blinking.

Lucas was more like him, and Jessica was more like Emily.

It would be great if Emily were still alive. They would have a pair of children and a complete family.

Lucas was sleeping when she suddenly dreamt that Jessica was calling him.

He woke up immediately.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Gavin was staring at him and was shocked a little.

"Father, what are you doing?" Lucas suddenly asked with wide eyes.

Gavin immediately sat up from the bed and sat down in a chair beside him. "You didn't cover yourself

with the quilt when you were sleeping. It's colder in the countryside. I was afraid that you would catch a

cold. I just tucked it up for you." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Oh, why weren't you sleeping? You're getting older now. You should take care of yourself."

When Lucas saw his father's worried face, he knew that he hadn't had much rest.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. After you get up, go to Jessica's ward to see her." Gavin was still

worried that some complete strangers were taking care of Jessica, so he sent Lucas over.

"Thanks, Dad. I didn't expect you to care so much about my friend. By the way, you said that you were

a friend of Jessica's mother, is that true?"

Lucas didn't even have time to ask before. Now he saw that Gavin was so worried about Jessica, he

felt that Gavin might really was a friend of Jessica's mother.

Gavin had been plucking up the courage in his heart. He didn't know how to tell him that Jessica was

his twin sister.

Now Lucas was curious, he thought maybe it was about to tell him everything about the past.

"Lucas." Gavin's lips quivered and he continued, "Actually..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lucas's phone rang.

Without looking, he knew that Oliver was the only one who would call him now.

Lucas answered the phone and heard him ask, "Do you know where Jessica is?"

"What about you? Did you find her?" Lucas began to ask him in order to give himself time to think.

"I would let you know as soon as I find her." Oliver said, "You used to call a few times a day to ask me

where Jessica is. Why haven't I heard anything from you these two days?"

Oliver felt something was wrong and called Lucas.

They hadn't found Jessica for so many days. Oliver knew that she would avoid him on purpose, but she

wouldn't avoid Lucas.

Once Jessica knew that Lucas had arrived in Birmingham, she would probably try to contact him.

Oliver also saw that Jessica and Lucas had a special relationship. They seemed to trust each other

very much.

If he hadn't known that Lucas was gay, he would have gone crazy with jealousy.

He knew that Jessica was very lonely and needed friends at that time.

If Lucas was there to accompany Jessica, he would be relieved.

Lucas didn't expect that Oliver knew so well about him and knew that he couldn't keep secrets.

"Because my friend came to Birmingham, I didn't have time to call you. Since you called, ask your

people to be more helpful."

He said to him the way Jessica had taught him before.

Gavin, who was sitting by the side, could not understand the way young people speak now.

Lucas gave Oliver a perfunctory answer and hung up the phone.

He knew that he could fool him for a while, but soon, Oliver might come to him.

Gavin said, "Who's looking for Jessica?"

"Jessica's ex-husband."

Gavin something between Jessica and Oliver from Lucas on the day of Mrs. Youngren's funeral.

At that time, Gavin just listened and didn't take it to heart.

Now that he knew that Jessica was his daughter, it was completely different.

"We can't let him find Jessica." Gavin said.

Gavin spent many years in the business game. At a glance, he could tell that Oliver was not an

ordinary man.

In the past, when the Kim family was still at its peak, the Williams family was starting as a real estate

developer, which was far from the Kin family.

Although Gavin did not fully understand the financial structure of Birmingham, he still knew about big

players like the Youngren family and the Williams family.

If Oliver wanted to take Jessica away from them, he would be too weak in Birmingham to stop him.

Seeing Jessica like this, Gavin knew that Oliver must not have taken good care of her, or else she

wouldn't have suffered so much.

Just from listening to Lucas, he knew that that man left Jessica alone in the hospital when she was

pregnant without asking, his heart ached so bad.

Jessica didn't want to see Oliver herself, and Lucas had told him before.

Therefore, they couldn't be together again.

"Dad, I'm afraid that Oliver would be here soon. He probably won't let go of her. He's a man who won't

regret anything. Yet he has said that he regretted leaving Jessica many times in front of me."

The more Lucas said so the more Gavin worried that Oliver would take Jessica away from him.

He would never allow his daughter to get in danger again.

Gavin immediately contacted Lan to find a way to deal with him.

The two of them discussed and came up with a solution.
