Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 5

Grace’s heart clenched as she hadn’t expected Brian to abruptly turn back after leaving.

Despite her racing heart, she tried to keep a calm facade. “I’m just asking for a classmate about what precautions to take if she wants to have a child.”

The female doctor remained composed. “For wanting a child, you need a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and moderate exercise. If your classmate has severe low blood sugar like you, then she definitely can’t get pregnant. You need to improve your health before considering pregnancy.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, Grace couldn’t help but exhale a sigh of relief.

Brian, half–squinting, looked at her, highly skeptical of Grace’s words. He believed there was no such classmate. It was likely Grace’s own desire for pregnancy.

With this thought, Brian’s face darkened. He coldly said, “Since the doctor says you’re fine, hurry up and go back.”

Seeing he didn’t press further, Grace’s heart finally settled. She sat up in bed and followed him out of the ward.

He walked fast, his long legs making large strides, without a thought of waiting for her, seemingly afraid of being seen leaving together.

Only when they reached the hospital’s entrance did Brian stop, standing there waiting for her.

As she approached, he turned coldly toward her. “Grace, I’m warning you again. Be mindful of your position, and don’t fantasize about things you shouldn’t!”

Under the scorching sun, Grace looked up at him, the brightness making it hard to open her eyes. She sighed bitterly. “What can I fantasize about? Since the day you brought Miss Adkins back, I haven’t dared to think of anything.”

“Then why were you asking so much at the hospital? Did you think I’d believe you were asking for a classmate? From today, I
