Falling For My Contractual Wife
Chapter 272

Louise was getting her wound treated, with Brian standing by her side, watching as the nurse disinfected her wound. Louise gripped his hand tightly, appearing to be in pain, and let out a sharp intake of breath. Brian stepped forward and looked at the nurse sternly. "Be gentle; she's in pain!"

The nurse trembled slightly. "Sorry, I'll be more gentle."

Louise enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by Brian. However, thinking back to the people she encountered downstairs earlier, she narrowed her eyes slightly. After the nurse left, Louise looked at Brian and asked, "Brian, you were downstairs for quite some time. What did Grace's parents say to you?"

Brian's gaze darkened slightly, and he casually avoided the topic. "Nothing much just exchanged greetings."

Louise nodded thoughtfully. "It seems like something happened with her family. Hasn't Grace come back yet?"

Brian's gaze paused briefly, and then, after a moment, his tone turned cold and indifferent. "I don't know." He didn't want to dwell on the matter and quickly changed the subject. "Once your wound is dressed, let's get the medication."

Downstairs, Grace emerged from the room, carrying her child. Daisy, holding the check, was smiling happily. As Grace approached, reaching out to take the check, Daisy was already on guard, swiftly moving her hand behind her back. Daisy glared at her. "This money is for me! Why do you think you can snatch it?"

Grace looked at her, feeling overwhelmed. Daisy rolled her eyes and was about to leave when Grace suddenly grabbed her arm.

A dull thud echoed as Grace knelt on the ground. "Please! Stop taking his money!"

Daisy hesitated momentarily, then gave her a fierce glare, gritting her teeth. "You useless fool! If you want to kneel, then stay there!" In Daisy's eyes, money was everything, and she cared little about dignity.

"I'll repay this twenty thousand dollars for you. There won't be a next time," Grace said coldly. Feeling lost, she rose from the ground and rushed out of the hospital.

Carson felt helpless about Daisy's actions but could do nothing now. He looked at Daisy solemnly before finally taking Frederick back to the ward. On the other hand, Daisy went happily to the bank to cash the check. Just as the family dispersed, Louise and Brian came down together.

Upon reaching the ground floor, Louise gazed at him tenderly. "Brian, I'll just use the restroom quickly. Wait for me here, okay?"

"Okay."

Louise walked into the restroom and overheard two nurses discussing something in the adjacent stall.

"The guy just now was handsome! Handsome is an understatement, and he's so wealthy, too, just whipping out a check like that! I haven't even seen what a check looks like!" "He's indeed handsome, but I think that family is embarrassing. Did you see that woman holding the child? She was kneeling, begging her mother not to take his money."

"I wonder what relationship that handsome guy has with their family."

The discussion continued behind her, and Louise squinted her eyes. She had a feeling that they must be discussing Brian. She followed suit as she heard the door being pushed open.

The two nurses paused momentarily, then lowered their heads and walked past Louise. "Wait a minute," Louise smiled at them. "Earlier, you mentioned a woman holding a child. Who is she?"
