Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 24

“Grace, is there something difficult for you to express?”

“My younger brother is hospitalized, and my parents are too busy taking care of him. They don’t have time to look after me.” Grace shook her head.

“What about the child’s father?” He referred to the child’s father, avoiding using the word ‘husband‘ this time.

“There’s no father. I don’t have a husband, either. I’m just a maid for the Francis family, Grace said, smiling as she touched her flat abdomen.

Justin couldn’t do anything about it. He knew there were still many things she hadn’t told him, but he was just her attending physician. Her privacy was not something he felt comfortable delving into.

“Regardless, you must be hospitalized for the sake of your health. If you still want to have the child, find a way to stay in the hospital, understand?”

After Justin said this and received a nod of agreement from Grace, he left the hospital room.

Grace slept peacefully. After drinking so much alcohol tonight, Brian should be asleep by now, and she didn’t have to worry. about him coming to find her.

Setting an alarm for eight in the morning, she woke up and called her younger brother, Carson.

Carson was rudely awakened by her call. In a somewhat hostile tone, he asked, “Why are you calling so early? Speak up if you have something important. Otherwise, spare me the nonsense!”

“Did you stay up playing games again last night until the wee hours?” Grace’s voice grew stern.

“None of your business. Just mind your own business,” he retorted,

Grace scolded him over the phone, “You don’t want me to care, right? I bet you’ve probably been kicked out of the hospital

room by now!”

“What do you mean? Did Mom call asking for money again? The medical bills Dad gave her must have gone to play cards and lost again!” Carson furrowed his brow.

Grace exhaled a sigh. In fact, she could also guess the general situation. The incident had already passed, bringing it up again would only cause more trouble for herself.

She didn’t pursue the topic further. “I called you because I need your help. If Brian calls you asking about me, just say I’m at your place taking care of you, okay?”
