Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 60

"Is anything wrong with Alice? I'll go over and take a look." Aaron said nervously to Lambert.

Since Lambert knew that something might happen in Alice's yard, it was not proper for him to leave

directly, so he had to follow Aaron in.

Alice was sitting facing the door. When she saw Aaron and Lambert coming over, she gave the servant

a look and asked him to leave. "Brother, why are you here?"

Lambert saw the woman sitting paralyzed with her back to him. She looked familiar and his heart was

beating fast. He prayed that it wasn't her. He walked up quickly and saw the woman with blood all over

her face. He was in fear. "Jessica, why are you here?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

He helped Jessica up and glared at Alice. "What did you do to her?"

Alice burst into tears. "You all helped her bully me."

Aaron saw that Alice was crying and handed her a tissue. "Okay, okay, don't cry. Speak slowly."

At this moment, Jessica stood up and said to the Zamani brother and sister, "Are you satisfied now? I

don't owe you anything. Please don't affect the cooperation between the Zamani Group and the

Williams Group because of me."

Lambert looked at her bloody face and panicked. "Stop talking about this. I'll take you to the hospital

first."

When Jessica was about to leave, she solemnly apologized to Aaron. "I'm sorry, Mr. Zamani. I offended

you that day. Please forgive me."

Jessica had no chance. She had to do this. She needed to solve this problem.

After that, Lambert helped Jessica out.

Lambert opened the back door of the car. "Have a rest. We will arrive at the hospital soon."

"Thank you. I'm fine."

Jessica took out a mirror from her bag and looked at her face. It did look a little terrifying, but it was just

a little surface wound. She looked at the mirror and wiped the blood off her face with a wet towel.

Lambert, who was driving in the front, looked at Jessica in the rearview mirror from time to time and

asked, "Why did you come here alone?"

Jessica said coldly, "It's nothing. I had some contradiction with Alice before, but now it's settled."

"Is it because of Oliver? Do you know that Alice has never suffered a loss since she was a child?

Coming to the Zamani Family alone is taking risks. You should be careful." Lambert really couldn't think

of any interaction between her and Alice, except for Oliver.

"It's all caused by me. Of course, I'm supposed to solve it."

"Did Oliver know that you came to the Zamani Family?"

"He didn't know. I hope you can keep it a secret from me. I did these all for myself." She wanted to

leave with a clear conscience and did not want to leave any mess to Oliver.

Jessica didn't want to go to the hospital. Under Lambert's insistence, she was taken to a private

hospital nearby. The doctor examined her and gave her some oral and external medicine to reduce the

swelling.

After they went out of the hospital, Jessica said goodbye to Lambert.

"Where are you going? I can send you there."

"No, thanks, brother. I can't go anywhere now. I just want to take a walk."

Yes, she couldn't go to Grandville Apartments now. If Oliver came back and saw her, she didn't know

what he would do. She only wanted to go to Williams Hospital to see her grandmother after her

swelling was slightly reduced. She was also afraid that her grandmother would feel sad.

"It's hard to get a taxi here. I have nothing to do today. Can you accompany me to a place?"

"Where are you going?"

"Get in the car. You'll know when we get there."

It was difficult for Jessica to refuse such kindness, so she got into Lambert's car again.

The car drove into the city, crossed the road with tall French phoenix trees on both sides, and went

around to the back of the Children's Palace. She was familiar with this place. This used to be the art

studio of the painter Hayden. When she was young, she came here to draw. After the painting class

was over, she went to the Children's Palace in front to dance.

The art studio here no longer existed but became a cafe.

Jessica looked at Lambert and asked in confusion, "Why do you bring me here?"

"Do you remember this place?"

"It used to be Mr. Hayden's art studio. Do you know him?"

After Jessica asked the question, she felt that it was too stupid. Hayden was a famous painter, and

Lambert was not only a new star in the painting field but also the First Young Master of the Williams

Family. It was not surprising that they knew each other.

"When I was a child, the first teacher who taught me to draw painting was him. Let's go in and have a

cup of coffee."

They got out of the car, went into the cafe, and found a window seat to sit down.

"What do you want to drink?" Lambert asked.

"Americano," Jessica said casually.

She leaned back on the soft sofa, and the sunlight outside shone on her. It seemed that she had

returned to the days when she studied painting here. Her memories revived at the sight of familiar

places.

Lambert finished ordering and looked at the distracted Jessica. "What are you thinking?"

Jessica smiled, but her face was so swollen that it changed her smile. "I just remembered the things

that happened when I was drawing here. I had a good life when I was a child, but I grew up

unknowingly."

At this time, the waiter brought up the coffee and a lemon cake in front of Jessica.

Seeing the lemon cake, Jessica almost burst into tears. When she was a child, after class, her mother

would bring her a lemon cake when she came to pick her up from class. It was sour and sweet, which

was her favorite in the past.

Jessica looked up. "Brother, why did you order a lemon cake?"

"Wasn't this your favorite food when you were a child?" When Lambert spoke, his face was calm, as if

he had known her for a long time, like an old friend.

"Have you seen me before?"

"Yeah. We were painting in the same art studio, but we never talked."

Jessica was very surprised. She didn't expect Lambert to be her classmate who drew together with her

when she was a child. This was something she never thought of. People of the Williams Family might

invite their teachers to their homes to learn lessons. She didn't expect Lambert to come to the art

studio to study with them.

"What a coincidence." Jessica lowered her head and sipped her coffee.

"At that time, I often saw your mother take a lemon cake when she came to pick you up. You were

eating in the rest area, and I was there occasionally. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spy on you."

"When I was a child, I chattered all day long. Everyone in the studio might know that I liked the lemon

cake, and it was not surprised that you knew that."

Jessica looked at Lambert for a few seconds as she spoke, but she couldn't remember what he looked

like at that time.

"It's just that I haven't seen you again not long after I came here, and then I left too."
