Falling For My Contractual Wife
Chapter 273

The two nurses exchanged a glance, pursed their lips, and remained silent, cautious. Louise's expression darkened slightly, a hint of sadness flickering as she said, "The man you were discussing just now is my fiancé."

The two nurses looked at each other, momentarily speechless. Louise continued, "The patient you were talking about, is their last name, Sherman?"

Seeing that she even knew the patient's last name, the two nurses no longer remained guarded and looked at her with a hint of sympathy.

"They have no direct relationship with my fiancé. It's just that their daughter used to work at my fiancé's company, and they got acquainted that way. My fiancé is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others in trouble, so he generously gave them money. Their daughter quit her job almost a year ago, and I knew her before, but then she disappeared without a trace. I'm unsure if the person you were talking about is the same as the one I mentioned."

Louise's sincerity completely melted the nurses' guards. One of them said gossipily, "It should be the same person. They've been here for some time now. They have a daughter and a son. The one who quit almost a year ago should be her."

Louise asked eagerly, "You mentioned she was holding a child. Where did the child come from?" Her gaze was unsettling.

Louise realized she was too agitated and explained, "I used to have a good relationship with her. But suddenly, she lost contact. I want to confirm if she's back. Are you sure it was his daughter holding the child?"

The nurse nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's her daughter! She used to come to visit her father often."

For Louise, the child was the focus. She pressed on, asking, "And the child?"

"The child belongs to her!"

Louise was thunderstruck. She had only been abroad for less than half a year, and Grace had already had a child!

Louise pondered, 'In other words, Grace was already pregnant when she was with Brian! It was sure the child belonged to Brian! But did he know about the child?'

Louise had been in turmoil. Over the past few days, Brian hadn't mentioned anything about Grace, seemingly unaware of the child's existence. Louise finds it strange that Grace hasn't used the child as an excuse to interact with Brian. Instead, she seemed to have been avoiding him. It had been puzzling indeed.

Just then, Brian called. Louise snapped out of her thoughts and absentmindedly walked out of the restroom.

Brian held some medicine in his hand, noticing she looked pale. Concerned, he asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Louise stared into his eyes for a moment before shaking her head. "I'm fine," she said with a smile, not showing any sign of unease.

Louise was unsure if Brian knew about Grace's situation, so she refrained from acting hastily. Men's words couldn't always be trusted, and she couldn't rule out the possibility that Brian had known about the child and had been supporting them financially. She resolved to investigate the matter herself.

Grace returned to the apartment feeling distraught. The child had been crying on the way home, probably hungry, so she hurried to prepare formula. However, when she tried to feed the bottle to Austin, she spat it out and continued to wail. Frowning, Grace suddenly realized that something might be wrong with the child.
