Falling for My Contractual Wife

Grace froze in place.

Brian reached up and, with a snap, turned on the light in the room.

Grace suddenly sat up and huddled in the corner.

“You dare to deceive me? Who gave you the courage? Don’t want me to touch, huh? Then you want who to touch you? That doctor surnamed Vance?” Brian stared at her with eyes as dark as ink.

“What’s the matter with Dr. Vance? You’re being completely unreasonable!” Grace looked at him in disbelief.

“Did I say something wrong? If it weren’t for me seeing you two together that day, would you be embracing each other?”

Grace angrily pushed him away. “You’re drunk! You should go find your Miss Adkins!”

Brian, already under the influence of alcohol, was unprepared for the sudden shove. It caused his entire body to tilt to one side.

At that moment, his gaze fell upon the trash bin on the floor.

He squinted his dangerous eyes, got off the bed, and bent down to pick up something from the trash bin. He held it up to her and asked, “What is this?”

His voice was as cold as an ice cellar.

Grace saw the medicine bottle in his hand and felt a tremor in her chest, “I… I accidentally dropped it in there.”

“Grace, do you think I’m a fool, huh? It’s obvious that this medicine has never been opened!” Brian sneered.

Grace suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

Brian thought about how he had foolishly given a negative review to the pharmacy today and even considered acquiring it. It made him burn with anger.

In a fit of rage, he laughed mockingly and reached out with his long arm. He grabbed her wrist and pushed her down onto the bed.

Grace screamed and struggled, but Brian quickly removed her clothes in a matter of moments.

She felt scared and, in the end, began crying and begging him to let her go. However, the sight of her tears only fueled Brian’s anger, and his actions became even more rough.

She closed her eyes in despair.

Suddenly, a strange warmth flowed over her body. Terrified, she pushed him away, saying, ‘Don’t…”

Brian paused in his actions and followed her gaze downwards.

Seeing the red liquid, he instantly sobered up and sat up straight.

“What’s going on? Why is there bleeding?”

Grace pulled the thin blanket over her body, curled up, and looked at him coldly. “I told you I got my period! You just didn’t

believe me!”

“You’re still lying to me. Your menstrual cycle is in the middle of the month, never beyond the 18th!”

Grace was slightly stunned, thinking, “He actually remembers my menstrual cycle?‘

But then she quickly realized that she might be discovered as pregnant because of this, and immediately calmed down.

She gave a cold laugh, climbed out of bed, and looked at him with indifference. “Brian, do you think I’m leading a normal life now? I’m tormented by you day in and day out, and I’ve long suffered from hormonal imbalance!”

“How so? Taking care of Louise makes you feel like you’re being abused?” Brian flashed a look in his eyes, then spoke mockingly.

Grace saw that he seemed to believe her words, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Brian, if you have a bit of conscience left, you should give me money for treatment instead of making sarcastic remarks here!” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The mockery on Brian’s face intensified. “Sure enough, now that your true colors are revealed, you know the contract is ending, and you’re hoping to gain something from it, right?”

Grace felt a pang in her heart. In his eyes, she was just a malicious, scheming, money–grabbing woman.

Since he wanted to think of her that way, she might as well be as bad as he believed.

“You’re right! This is my true nature! I forgot to tell you. I’ve been covering all the expenses since taking care of Louise in the hospital. You haven’t given me anything for taxi fares or groceries! She’s your

fiancée, not my responsibility. Shouldn’t her fiancé settle the bills for her?”

Brian found it somewhat unbelievable that Grace would speak to him in such a manner.

Certainly, she had been pretending all along for the past two years.

Feeling disgusted after seeing her true nature, he opened the door, slammed it shut, and left.

Grace listened to the loud commotion outside the door as if Brian had kicked something over in the living room. Then came the sound of footsteps going upstairs, followed by a sharp closing of a door, and everything fell silent again.

Grace felt her body go weak. In a hurry, she took out her phone and called Justin.

After ringing for a while, the call was answered. Grace spoke with a trembling and fearful voice. “Dr. Vance, L… I’m bleeding again. What should I do now?”

There was a pause on the other end, then a gentle voice reassured, “Where are you now?”

“I’m at home.”

“Is there

e anyone who can take you to come out?”

Grace spoke quivering and helplessly. “No, there’s no one. I’m all alone.”

“Tell me your home address, and I’ll come over immediately to take you for an examination,” Dr. Vance said.

After providing her address to Justin, Grace instructed him not to park the car directly in front of the main entrance.

Justin listened to her instructions. Although he had some questions in his mind, the situation was urgent, so he didn’t ask further.

After hanging up the phone, Grace realized it was already past two in the morning. Justin might have been asleep and was awakened by her urgent call.

In less than fifteen minutes, Justin called. Grace padded with a sanitary pad, slipped out of the room, and quietly walked out from the back door.

Having had the experience of being caught by Brian last time, she dared not come out from the front door in the middle of the night again.

On the side of the road, a white Aston Martin, with its hazard lights on, was parked. Upon spotting Grace, Justin stood next to the car and quickly approached with determined steps.

Justin was still in his pajamas, clearly rushing over immediately after hanging up the phone.

Grace didn’t know how to express her gratitude. A doctor going to such lengths for a patient left her feeling that words of thanks seemed insufficient.

“Why was there bleeding?” Justin started the car and, while driving, inquired.

Grace pursed her lips, and with an unnatural expression, she lowered her head.

Justin seemed to understand something. He looked straight ahead and continued asking, “Is your stomach hurting?”

“It was a bit painful at that moment, but it’s not hurting now. There’s a slight bloated feeling,” Grace replied.

Justin took a deep breath. “Is there still bleeding now?”

“A little,” Grace replied.

Justin nodded, and he pressed the accelerator slightly harder.

At the hospital, after the examination, Grace was hooked up to an IV again.

“This time, it’s a bit serious. During the first three months of pregnancy, you absolutely cannot engage in sexual intercourse. Do you understand?”

Grace awkwardly bit her lip, silently turning her face away.

“I’m a doctor. You don’t have to feel embarrassed. Just make sure to take good care of yourself in the future. By the way, this time, it’s necessary for you to be hospitalized for treatment,” Justin said with a slight smile.

“Hospitalized? For how many days?”

“Five days,” Justin replied.

Seeing her distressed expression, Justin furrowed his brow slightly, becoming even more curious about her.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you stay in the hospital?” Justin inquired.

Grace thought momentarily and said, “My younger brother is sick, and I have to take care of him.”

“Where are your parents?” His usually gentle voice took on a touch of coldness. “And your husband? Aren’t they taking care of you?”
