Falling for My Contractual Wife

A smile appeared on Grace's face. She walked up to Austin and called out to her carefully, "Austin, are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Austin heard her voice and slowly turned to look at her. She blinked and turned to look out of the window again.

Grace pursed her lips and tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart.

Brian also noticed that Austin was different from usual.

Usually, when she saw him, she would definitely call him daddy happily. But today, she didn't.

Brian frowned and asked, "What happened to her?"

Grace's eyelashes fluttered. After a long while, she said, "The doctor said that she was in shock."

She did not have the courage to tell Brian that Austin might have leukemia.

Whenever she thought of this possibility, even breathing hurt.

Brian's heart sank. He walked over and gently carried Austin into his arms. He looked at her and said, "Baby, Daddy is here to see you. Why are you ignoring Daddy?"

Austin blinked and looked at him. There seemed to be a little light in her eyes. This slight change delighted Grace.

However, in the next second, Austin's words pierced their hearts like a needle. "Dad, why didn't you protect Mom and me? I'm scared. Mom's scared too."

Brian's heart felt like it was being gripped by a pair of invisible iron claws. His heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

Grace could not help but turn around and cover her mouth. Tears flowed into her palm.

Brian said, "Sorry, Austin. I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Daddy will definitely protect you and Mommy well in the future. You and Mommy are Daddy's darlings, more important than Daddy's life."

Austin did not say anything else and just leaned against him quietly.

The ward was very quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, Brian's phone rang.

Brian took out his phone and glanced at it. Grace's gaze fell on his phone screen at the same time.

Brian frowned when he saw the caller ID. Grace's heart sank. It was Casper.

Brian hesitated for a moment before ending the call.

Grace lowered her eyes and thought

Brian frowned. "I'm not leaving."

Grace smiled sarcastically. "Actually, Nelson is right. Your grandfather probably doesn't want you to see me. Right now, you should not disobey him. It's not good for me, yott, or Austin."

"Grace... Are you blaming me?" Brian looked at her deeply.noveldrama

She was really too afraid. She was afraid that Brian would know about the

leukemia when the report came in the afternoon.

Closing the door, Grace closed her eyes. She wanted to bear with everything alone.

She said, "Baby, Daddy still has something to do at the company. He'll come over to accompany you later, okay?"

Austin looked listless as if she didn't care about anything.

Grace's heart clenched. Time passed. The wait was long and torturous.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor came over with the report. He looked grim.

Grace looked at him and had a bad feeling.

The doctor pursed his lips and cruelly announced the truth. "Miss Sherman, your daughter does have leukemia."

Grace felt as if the world had collapsed.
