Falling for My Contractual Wife

"Let go of me!" Grace said furiously.

Brian realized he had hurt her, so he quickly let go of her and asked, "Why did you skip work?"

Grace pursed her lips and said coldly, "My daughter is sick. You can punish me for absenteeism, but if you want me to return to the company to work now, I'm sorry, I can't leave here." Brian was stunned. "What's wrong with her?"

Grace glanced at him and felt no need to tell him about the child. The less contact he had with the child, the better.

She said lightly, "It's just a usual cold."

As soon as she finished speaking, Carson came out of the ward. "Grace, Austin has been crying. She seems to be very uncomfortable."

Grace ignored Brian and immediately ran into the ward.

Austin's fever had not subsided yet. She had just taken the fever medicine and was still not feeling well. She kept crying.

Justin came over after he was done with his work. When he saw Brian, he frowned and a trace of impatience flashed across his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Brian ignored him and craned his neck to look at Austin.

He didn't know why, but when he heard Austin crying, he felt like an invisible hand had grabbed his heart.

Grace hugged Austin and coaxed her softly. She walked back and forth in the ward, but Austin still cried non-stop.

Grace looked at Austin with heartache. Grace's eyes were red. Every mother was strong and fragile. She wished she was the one who was sick.

After she found Austin last time, Grace could not bear to see Austin suffer even a little. She even hated herself for not taking good care of her and causing her to catch a cold and have a fever Brian stretched out his hand and wanted to say he would try, but Justin beat him to it and said, "Let me try."

Grace glanced at Justin and gently placed the child in his arms.

Justin's movements looked very skilled as if he often carried children. Brian's eyes hurt when he saw this scene. He stood there like an outsider.

Oh no, I am an outsider myself. The three of them are a family, aren't they?' Brian thought.

His legs seemed to weigh one thousand pounds. He wanted to leave, but he raised his feet again.

Austin was still crying. Grace was so anxious that tears fell from her eyes. "Justin, is she feeling very uncomfortable? Is it because she has a fever and her heart is so hot that she keeps crying?" Before Justin could appease Austin, he had to comfort Grace. "No. Her fever is only 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. She won't feel too uncomfortable. Perhaps she keeps crying because she feels aggrieved?" Brian could not stand it anymore. He walked forward and forcefully took the child away from Justin. "Let me do it."

Grace and Justin were stunned for a moment. However, they couldn't appease the child, so they could only let Brian try.

If Austin continued to cry like this, her throat would be damaged

Brian did not know how to coax the child at all. After all, he had only carried this child once.

He didn't even know what to say. After thinking for a while, he tied to call softly, "Austin."

The child seemed curious about this unfamiliar voice and stopped crying surprisingly.

Brian was overjoyed, but Austin opened her mouth and cried again after a while.

Brian hugged her anxiously and shook her gently. He subconsciously coaxed her, "Be good, alright, don't cry anymore. I will carry you."

His words seemed to work, and Austin stopped crying.

Even Grace was stunned. She wondered, 'Could this be the connection between father and daughter?"

Justin looked at Brian's smile at the child and felt that it was very glaring.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
