Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 29

When Grace Sherman looked up, she spotted Justin Vance in a white coat. He had donned a pair of gold–rimmed glasses that day, giving him a more scholarly and composed appearance.

She instinctively stood up. “Dr. Vance.”

“Why did you come to the hospital today? Is something bothering you again?” Justin glanced at her with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Grace shook her head. “No, I’m here to accompany Miss Adkins for her medical check–up.

It took Justin a moment to recall who Miss Adkins referred to..

“How about you? How’s your health? Has the morning sickness improved recently? Have you been taking the prescribed medication on time?”

Listening to his string of questions, Grace couldn’t help but chuckle. “No issues at all. I’m doing fine. I’ll come for a check- up after finishing the medication. How about you? Been busy lately?”

“Grace!” A sharp, high–pitched voice suddenly interrupted her.

Louise Adkins walked up to the two of them, her gaze shifting between the pair before she smiled and asked, “What are you chatting about with Dr. Vance? Seems like such a cheerful conversation.”

“Dr. Vance just casually inquired about your condition,” Grace replied, suppressing her laughter.

“Is that so? I appreciate your concern, Dr. Vance, Louise glanced at Justin, smiling with an ambiguous meaning.

Grace feared Louise might suspect something and urged, “Have you finished your examination? Once you’re done, let’s

leave.”

Louise nodded, bid farewell to Justin, and then they left together.

Brian Francis got off work relatively early today. Louise approached him when he returned, resembling a wife welcoming her husband, gently untying his tie.

As for what happened last night, it seemed like it hadn’t occurred.

The man stepped into the living room, his gaze subconsciously scanning the space. Catching sight of a busy figure in the kitchen, his eyes paused slightly.

Louise didn’t notice his subtle movement; she took his hand and sat down with him on the sofa.

Showing today’s examination report to Brian, he glanced briefly and calmly remarked, ‘Recovery is going well.”
