Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

After recuperating in the hospital for a few days, Jessica felt much better. When James came to see her, she asked James to buy some medicine for her so that she could take it with her when she left. "James, thank you very much for this time."

"You should have a good rest. Don't think too much. The doctor said that you are recovering well. You can be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest. What are your plans after leaving the hospital?"

Jessica clenched her hands and said softly, "I'm leaving Birmingham."

"Is there no other way? You can get a divorce.” James raised his voice as he was really too angry. "It's a little complicated. I can't solve it in a while. I have to leave now."

"Have you decided where to go?"

"I just need to leave Birmingham temporarily, and I'll find another place to stay slowly."

"Before you leave, I'll ask my friend to give you a thorough check-up. Don't get into any accidents when you leave." James got up and said, "I'll buy you some medicine first.”

James went to the pharmacy to get the medicine and went to find Martin.

"Martin, please give my friend a thorough examination to see if there is anything else wrong with her."

"My job is to perform surgery, but you ask me to give a pregnant woman a health checkup. It's a waste of talent. That baby she's carrying isn't really yours, is it?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I treated her as my sister when we were young, but then she suddenly disappeared. I don't expect this to happen when we met again this time. I just feel sorry for her and want to help her out."

"Okay, so you are childhood sweethearts. I'll go and see how beautiful she is that you still cannot get over her."

As they spoke, they went to Jessica's ward together.

At the door of the ward, they met Doctor Fain, who had just examined Jessica.

"Doctor Deerman, why are you here?"

Martin smiled and said, "Doctor Fain has examined the patient, but my friend insists on me to examine the patient again.”

"It's too late to care about her now." There was always disdain in Doctor Fain's words.

James smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Fain."

Jessica could hear the conversation of the three people at the door clearly. In addition to James’ voice, she was also familiar with the voice of another man. She also heard Doctor Fain call that man "Doctor Deerman".

Jessica suddenly realized that Doctor Deerman was Martin. The last time they had dinner, Martin told Sally that he was a doctor.

She suddenly sat up from the bed and hurriedly put on her slippers. She told the nurse that she was going to the bathroom.

When she entered the bathroom, she immediately sent a message to James, asking him not to let Martin in. She prayed in her heart that James would have to read the text message, otherwise, she could only hide in the bathroom and not come out.

When James heard the beep of his phone, he glanced at his phone as he could avoid Doctor Fain's disdainful look for the time being. He saw it was a text message from Jessica. "James, Doctor Fain just examined me. He said that I'm recovering very well and I need to rest more. I just took the medicine and I'm ready to go to bed. You can give the medicine to the nurse.”

Receiving James’ OK message, she went out of the bathroom and lay down on the bed.

She told the nurse that she was very sleepy and asked the nurse to get the medicine from James at the door.

James knew what Jessica meant, so he handed the medicine to the nurse and left with Martin. When Jessica heard that there was no noise at the door and made sure that James and Martin had left, she sat up. She needed to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Once Martin found out that James' friend was her, it was possible for Martin to tell Oliver.

However, she could not leave the hospital now as she was afraid that she would attract Martin's attention. She could only leave when Martin was not in the hospital.

The next day.

Jessica packed up the medicine she was going to bring early in the morning. Besides, she was waiting for James to send her clothes over. She didn’t bring anything with her when she left the house. When she was in the hospital, she wore a hospital gown.

Fortunately, James was a professional artist and had a flexible schedule. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to go to the hospital often to take care of her.

When James saw that Jessica had already packed, he asked in surprise, "Are you going to leave the hospital?”

"Yes, I feel better. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. I'm afraid that man will find me." James was angry when he heard this. "Tell me who that man is. I'll help you teach him a lesson.” "Forget it. The less trouble the better. Things are already complicated enough. I don't want to create more trouble.” Jessica smiled bitterly. "By the way, is your friend in the hospital today?"

"He's not here today. He's out. Is there anything you want to talk to him about? I'll tell him." Jessica was secretly glad. "It's okay. I just want to thank him in person. Since he's not here, I'll have to wait for another chance.”

"Don't worry about these things. I'll do it."

"By the way, James, you didn't tell your friend my name, did you?" Jessica was still a little worried, just guessing that Martin didn't know it was her.

James rolled his eyes and recalled it. He didn't remember he had mentioned the name "Jessica". He had always been calling her his friend or childhood friend.

"No. I know you don't want anyone to know you're in the hospital. I'll keep it a secret from my friends.”

James was a wise man, and he knew this time Jessica might have provoked someone influential. "Then I'm going to go through the discharge formalities now and erase my hospitalization records as well. I'm sorry to trouble you.”

Jessica handed James a bank card, but he didn't accept it.

"You need money. Keep the card yourself."

"I already owe you so much. I have money on my card. Go and pay my medical bills.”

Since she already said so, James no longer refused. He went downstairs to check Jessica out of the hospital, printed out all her medical records, and had the staff delete all the records. They knew James was Martin's friend, so they naturally did not dare to slack off.

Jessica put on her clothes and wrapped herself. She put on her hat and mask, only showing her eyes, and went out of the hospital with James.

James drove and looked at Jessica, who was still pale. "Where are you going? I'll drive you there.” Jessica shook her head. "No, I'll just get off at the next intersection. I have to buy something first." In the end, James couldn't persuade her, so he had to drop her off at an intersection.

Jessica knew there was a car store nearby that sold second-hand cars. She walked straight in.
