Falling for My Contractual Wife

While waiting for the elevator in the corridor, which seemed to take a long time, Grace was afraid she might receive a call urging her. After a moment of consideration, she decided to head toward the stairwell.

The VIP ward was on the fourth floor, not too high.

As she climbed to the second floor, suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, and she promptly collapsed into the stairwell.

The fire door swung open as a slender man in a white coat emerged, casually smoking a cigarette.

He was about to light a cigarette when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the ground. He quickly crouched down and asked, ‘Miss! What happened?

He touched her pulse, and then he saw red liquid running down her thighs between her smooth legs. His brow wrinkled as he said, “Pregnant?”

Justin lifted her up from the ground with one swift motion.

The weight in his hands was unbelievably light, and his brow furrowed even more. ‘Who has been mistreating you? How did you become so thin?

Kicking open the fire door, Justin found there were several female nurses standing in the corridor as if intentionally trying to create a chance encounter with him.

Seeing the woman in Justin’s arms, the female nurses wiped away the infatuation on their faces. ‘Dr. Vance, what’s happening?

“Arrange a gynecological examination immediately.”

“Alright!”

When Grace woke up again, the first thing she saw was the white ceiling. A little nurse stood by her bedside, looking at her with a cheerful smile, and asked, “You’re awake?”

“Where am I?” Grace asked with confusion.

“You fainted in the corridor, and Dr. Vance saved you. You’re so lucky. You’re the only patient who got a hug from

Dr. Vance.”

Grace listened to the nurse’s words, feeling confused and at a loss.

“But, you don’t stand a chance. You’re pregnant. Dr. Vance is the most famous doctor in the whole city, and he’s the most handsome male doctor in the entire medical field. Today, when Dr. Vance is on duty, you have no idea.

how many women have come to register. The line is almost reaching the hospital entrance, all just to say a few

words to Dr. Vance.”

Grace listened with a sense of confusion, and she probably understood why there were so many people downstairs. They were all here for Dr. Vance, who the nurse was talking about.

“Who is Dr. Vance?”

Just then, a gentle voice suddenly sounded. “It’s me, Justin Vance.”

The nurse turned around, and her eyes seemed filled with anticipation. “Dr. Vance, you’re here.”

Justin smiled at her and said, “You can go out first.”

Grace looked at the man in front of her. He had brown eyes, flawless fair skin, and handsome yet gentle facial features. He was indeed a top–notch character, deserving of the many women’s admiration for him.

However, having been accustomed to Brian’s handsomeness, she had become immune to good– looking men.

Justin walked over and administered some medicine, asking, “Do you know you’re pregnant?”

“Yes.”

“Knowing that, you still let yourself become so thin? Don’t you plan to have a baby?” Justin frowned.

“No.”

Justin looked at her expression and suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest. For some reason, he sensed that this woman carried many stories of sadness.

“What’s your name?”

Grace awkwardly uttered her name. “Grace.”

“Where’s your husband? Give him a call and let him come take care of you,” Justin asked again.

Grace’s eyes flickered as she looked at him. “Can you keep this a secret for me?”

“Keep what a secret?” Justin asked, puzzled.

“I’m pregnant and can’t let my husband know.”

The man appeared somewhat surprised but chose not to press for more details, unwilling to pry further. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Your body is severely malnourished, and the baby’s nutrition is also insufficient. If you want to deliver the child safely, you need to take good care of your health.”

Grace nodded gently. She indeed wished to take good care of her health, but reality didn’t permit it.

“You rest. Since you don’t want to notify your family, we’ll leave it at that. By the way, your phone was ringing constantly earlier, and the items you bought are placed in the cabinet for you.”

Grace expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you!”

“I’ll leave for now. Call me if you need anything.

Grace thanked him once again. After he left, she picked up her phone and glanced at it. There were numerous calls and messages from Louise and two missed calls from Brian.

Upon checking the time, an entire hour had already passed.

Louise couldn’t find her and didn’t get to eat the seafood she wanted. She would definitely call Brian to let him know. She couldn’t let Brian find out that she was receiving an IV in the hospital.

If they traced things back and found out she was pregnant, it would be over.

With this in mind, Grace quickly removed the needle from the back of her hand. Just as she stepped out, she ran into Justin.

“What are you doing? You’re leaving before the IV drip is finished?” Justin asked.

“No time to explain. I must go back immediately,” Grace said in a hurry.

Justin said thoughtfully, “Your pregnancy condition is very unstable. It’s better to stay in the hospital for a few days. Let me take you to arrange admission.”

“Dr. Vance, I don’t have the conditions to stay in the hospital. If it’s discovered that there’s a child in my belly, it will be over.” Grace looked at him deeply, pain evident in her eyes.

Justin looked into her eyes and suddenly couldn’t bear to insist on her staying in the hospital. After some thought, he took out his phone. “Your mobile number.”

Grace hesitated for a moment, then obediently gave him her phone number.

“This is my number. Save it. I’ll call periodically to check on your condition,” Justin said, giving her a call to ensure she had his number.

Grace fell silent.

“Go ahead, be careful not to overexert yourself,” Justin said, finally releasing her hand.

“Okay.”

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Grace saw Brian sitting in the hospital room. Louise seemed to have already had her meal.

“Grace, you’re finally back! I was so worried! Where did you go?” As she approached, Louise’s “concerned” voice rang out.

“When I was downstairs, I received an urgent call from home, so I went out for a while.” Grace took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

Louise breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as you’re okay, it’s no big deal that I missed a meal. If something happened to you, I would never forgive myself for a lifetime.”

Grace said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

Having been silent all this while, Brian finally looked at her and said, “Is an apology all it takes?”

Grace asked him, “Mr. Brian, what do you want?”

“What happened at your home? Why are you so anxious that you didn’t even have time to answer a call?” Brian looked at her with a deep voice.

He squinted his dangerous eyes as if intending to expose her lie.

Grace was hesitant to meet his eyes directly but still looked up at him, saying, “Mr. Brian, I’m sorry, but my family matters are not convenient to share with outsiders.”

Outsiders?

Brian’s gaze darkened as he stared at her. If it weren’t for Louise being present, he might have really grabbed her by the neck and demanded an explanation of why her husband was considered an outsider.

He knew she was lying.

When he called her twice and she didn’t answer, he had already contacted her parents. They hadn’t been in touch recently, either.
