Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 11

“Doctor, if the medical report indicates I’m pregnant, my child won’t survive,” Grace clenched her lips, pleading.

The female doctor looked at her with pity. “Is it really that serious?”

Bitterness filled Grace’s voice. “The man who claimed to be my friend that day, he’s actually my husband.”

The doctor’s eyes widened in surprise.

“You’ve witnessed how he treated me before. We’re divorcing in three months. He’s about to marry someone else. In his mind, I’m a stain he doesn’t want to acknowledge. He won’t let me keep this child.”

Listening to this, the doctor sighed deeply, then looked at Grace seriously, “If he’s divorcing you, why keep the child? Do you want to raise the child alone? This is your first pregnancy. Your uterus is fine. You could choose not to keep the child and start a new life after leaving him.”

“No, our marriage is merely a contract. It was wrong of me to fall for him. I can’t bring myself to get rid of this child. Even if life gets tougher, I’ll keep this child.” Grace shook her head.

The doctor sighed deeply. “Why are you so foolish? Since you insist on having the child, I won’t say more. I promise you, I’ll do my best to cover for you with the people in the checkup department.”

“Thank you!”

After the checkup, Grace took a cab back home. Before long, she received a call from Brian.
