Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 207

"Can you tell me why you have to get married in such a hurry?"

Jeff didn't give up. He wanted to know why Lambert did this, and he gave Lambert a chance to explain.

"Grandpa, I've told you before that I want Jessica to be my wife and give the child a warm home." He

said.

"I haven't lived with my parents since I was a child. I don't want my child to be the same as me. I don't

want him to yearn for the family after he grows up."

Lambert's pitiful look indeed touched Jeff.

However, Jeff couldn't trust Lambert now.

His informant said that Oliver's matter was related to Lambert. Although there was no conclusive

evidence yet, it was a matter of time before the evidence came out.

Jeff hoped it was a misunderstanding. He was both anticipant and fearful when he was waiting for the

evidence.

He was afraid that the last thing he wanted would happen.

He wanted to give Lambert a chance to make up for it. If it were a momentary lapse, Jeff would give

Lambert a way out.

After all, he watched Lambert grow up, and Lambert used to be his beloved grandson.

Just as Jeff was thinking, his phone rang.

He looked at Lambert and said, "Get up."

Lambert knew that his grandfather asked him to go away. It seemed that this phone call was important

to Jeff.

Jeff's hand trembled when he saw the phone number. It was the informant's number.

He swiped his phone and answered the call.

A deep voice came from the phone. "Sir, we have the evidence. Lambert is indeed behind this, and

he's not the only one."

When Jeff heard the word "Evidence," his head seemed to explode, and he felt dizzy.

He tried to get himself up but found that he had no strength at all.

Not far away, Lambert saw something was wrong with Jeff and walked over. "Grandpa, are you okay? I

don't think you look well. I'd better call the doctor."

Jeff wanted to pretend not to know anything, but when Jeff saw Lambert's innocent look, he was even

angrier.

He used all his strength and slapped Lambert in the face.

Lambert was confused, not knowing why Jeff suddenly slapped him.

He guessed it had something to do with the phone call Jeff had just received.

Jeff had never hit him before. For a moment, he couldn't figure out if it was because of the wedding or

Jeff knew what he did behind him.

"Grandpa, what is going on?" Lambert's face turned red, and he asked in an annoyed tone.

"You monster." Jeff cursed in a trembling voice.

Lambert sneered. "Monster? It turns out that I am a monster in your heart. A lot of people have scolded

me for being a monster since I grew up. I've heard a lot. I don't care."

"Lambert, I've raised you for so many years. Am I not good enough to you?" Jeff looked sad and angry.

"Good?" Lambert snorted and continued, "You're good to me. I'm the eldest grandson of the Williams

family, but you excluded me from the heir long ago. I used to listen to you about everything. You liked

painting, so I learned it to please you. I have to be cautious to exchange your kindness."

Jeff didn't expect Lambert to see him like this.

"Lambert, you are my grandson and the blood of our family. I never wanted you to compromise. What I

want is for our family to be peaceful. But look at you. What have you done?"

The more Jeff spoke, the more excited he became, and then he coughed.

Lambert was shocked. Was his grandpa so angry for knowing what he had done to Oliver?

He saw Jeff's phone on the table and picked it up. He saw the number on the call log.

"What are you doing?" Jeff stood up in anger and tried to grab the phone in Lambert's hand.

Suddenly, a sharp pain hit her heart. He then fell heavily on the recliner again.

Hugh heard the noise and rushed in. Jeff's face was full of pain, and he covered his chest with both

hands. Hugh knew something went wrong when he saw this scene.

"Sir!" Hugh shouted hurriedly, then looked at Lambert behind him. "Call the doctor, now!"

Only then did Lambert take out his phone and call Jeff's medical team.

Hugh knew that Jeff had a heart attack and didn't dare to move Jeff.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Fortunately, Jeff's medical team lived near. A moment later, a lot of doctors came and surrounded Jeff.

After emergency treatment, the doctors sent Jeff to the top ward in Williams Hospital for therapy.

After a joint diagnosis by the doctors, Jeff had a stroke. Now he was unable to speak and was half

paralyzed, so he had to stay in the hospital for the time being.

After Jeff's condition stabilized, Lambert left Williams Hospital and returned to his house.

He went back to the study and immediately told Toby about Jeff's illness.

Toby was not in Birmingham but Bali Island, preparing for Lambert's wedding.

Toby asked, "How did your grandfather suddenly get sick?"

"He answered a phone call, and his expression became unnatural. I guess it had something to do with

that call."

As Lambert spoke, he didn't mention that Jeff wanted to grab the phone in his hand. In a fit of anger,

Jeff finally had a stroke.

"What call?" Toby asked doubtfully.

"I think grandpa knows that we are behind what happened to Oliver."

Lambert wrote down the phone number in his mind on the notepad on the table.

"I'll send you the phone number. Have someone check this number."

"Don't panic. Now that the old man is sick, it won't do us any harm." Toby said.

Lambert prayed for this the moment Jeff was down. Toby could say that out, but he couldn't.

"Leave the work there to the others. I need you here." Lambert said.

When Lambert came back, Jessica saw him hurrying to the study, so she entered the studio beside

him.

After the call, Lambert saw Jessica, who seemed to have just come in. He asked, "When did you come

here?"
