Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 442

If she didn't love him, why did she marry him? Why have a child at all?

She had no choice but to step forward. "I am," she said.

The doctor addressed her directly. "I'm sorry, ma'am. Your husband's leg was seriously injured. We did everything we could during surgery, but you should prepare yourself-there's a chance he may lose the ability to walk."

Most assumed she was simply devastated, but only she and Annabel knew what she was really thinking.

Suddenly, Grace felt a weight on her shoulder.

Leaning in close, Annabel whispered in her ear, "Grace, remember who you are right now."

Without a word, Grace shook Annabel's hand off. Turning to the doctor, she said, "Thank you, doctor. I'll make sure he does his physical therapy. With proper rehab, he'll get better, right?"
