Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 262

Lan's men found the old house that Jessica had gone to before.

There were fresh blood stains inside, so they concluded that she should not have gone far.

However, they had almost searched the whole town, but there was no trace of her.

Lucas said anxiously, "Uncle, is there a search dog here? It's inefficient to rely on us alone. Jessica is

injured. I'm afraid of unpredictable accidents."

Although QN Town was small, it was close to Birmingham, so there was a base for training search dogs

nearby.

Lan immediately sent someone right away to get a search dog over.

Soon, ten dogs were brought to town.

They took the search dogs separately and searched.

"The water is densely distributed here. Will she be pushed under the river?" Lucas thought that they

couldn't find her on the land, so Jessica might not be on land.

It was already night. Except for the streetlights on the bridge, the rest of the place was dark, which

affected their search badly.

Soon, Lan ordered them to take five boats separately to search in every section of the river in town.

The dogs had a very developed sense of smell after the training.

After Jessica's face was scratched by the black dog, the blood on her face kept flowing in the river.

The search dogs followed the smell of blood and all headed in one direction.

Finally, they found Jessica downstream.

The rescuers immediately went into the river and brought her to the boat.

Lucas saw that Jessica was carried up dying. Her face had been scratched beyond recognition.

He had hardly cried in usual, but this time he couldn't help it.

Lucas grew up in Holland, a country below sea level. He liked sailing boats and kayaks and learned all

kinds of water life-saving techniques.

Jessica was immediately given artificial respiration. Her back was squeezed so that she could breathe

as quickly as possible.

Lan had already arranged for the doctor to pick her up on the shore.

Lucas found that Jessica had already spit out a lot of water and could breathe, but she seemed to be in

a coma.

"Jessica, it's me. It's Lucas. Wake up." Lucas shouted. He thought that he was wrong.

Jessica did not respond.

When they reached the shore, the doctors immediately put on oxygen masks for Jessica, carried her

with a stretcher, and sent her to the ambulance.

Lucas was always by her side.

When Jessica arrived at the hospital, the doctor gave her first aid.

Lucas waited anxiously outside with Lan.

Lan had been feeling uneasy and regretted not asking for news about Jessica earlier.

It was even more unexpected that the Youngren had fallen to the point of ruin, making the daughter of

the Kim suffer so much.

If something happened to Jessica, he would be ashamed to face Gavin, who was coming soon.

Lucas didn't know that Jessica was his sister.

Before Gavin arrived, Lan did not dare to tell Lucas anything.

Now that they had not recognized each other, Lucas was already completely out of his mind and paced

back and forth in the corridor. What if he knew their true relationship?

Lan saw that Lucas had been waiting for all the time, not even having dinner. He wanted him to go out

for dinner and rest.

Lucas said, "I'm not hungry. When Jessica wakes up, I want you to find out who did this to her. I will

never let go of that rubbish."

"I'll send someone to check it out right away. Don't worry. Her surgery will be successful." Lan said.

The servants of the Langwell delivered the food. Lucas didn't have any appetite. He just drank some

water.

"Lan, you can go home first. I'll stay here. I'll call you if anything happens."

Lan checked the time and estimated that Gavin would be arriving in Birmingham soon.

He said, "Lucas, I'm going to Birmingham first to pick up your father. If you need someone, just let them

replace you."

Lan was fearing any further accidents, so a dozen men had been sent to guard the entrance.

"Okay," Lucas said.

Birmingham Airport.

Gavin got off the plane. He saw Lan waiting at the arrival hall.

He had not seen Lan for more than 20 years. At first look, he realized that the butler was getting old.

After all, he was already in his fifties.

Lan still recognized Gavin at a glance. He walked forward and nodded. "I'm sorry. I didn't take good

care of Jessica."

Gavin knew that he had no right to blame anyone.

As Jessica's father, he did not even know her existence, which was the biggest mistake.

He was not even as good as the son he had been always scolding.

At least Lucas had found Jessica earlier than he did and had been taking care of her, thinking about

her.

However, he even stopped Lucas from visiting Jessica in Birmingham. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

For most of his life, Gavin rarely regretted it no matter what he did, except for Emily and Jessica.

His great regret was once Emily.

Now, Jessica was his regret again.

There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

"Lan, how is Jessica now?"

Gavin got in the car and asked about Jessica's condition.

"She is still in the A&E, but don't worry. God bless the good man."

Lan had always believed that Jessica would be rescued.

Seeing Gavin's tired face, he said, "You'd better take a rest first for being on the plane for so long.

Maybe Jessica will wake up soon. Then you'll have to be by her side all the time. Your health will not be

able to cope with it."

Gavin grew up within Lan's care. In Lan's eyes, no matter how old Gavin was, he had always been one

who needed his care.

Gavin leaned in the back seat with his eyes half-closed. How could he sleep?

Ever since Lan told him that Jessica was his daughter, his mind felt like it was exploding with thoughts.

On the one hand, it was a big surprise to him. He and Emily had a son and a daughter.

On the other hand, he felt that he was ashamed of his daughter and was not qualified to be her father.

He didn't know how to face her.

As a father, he left his daughter alone and suffer so much.

Moreover, Jessica probably didn't know the cause of her mother's death.

These contradictions were so heavy to Gavin.
