Falling for My Contractual Wife

When the woman saw that Grace had woken up, she smiled at her kindly. "Grace, you're awake." Grace frowned. "Am I in the hospital?"

"Yes, a fisherman saved you. Are you from Capern City? How did you and your husband fall into the sea? Don't tell me you had a lover's argument?"noveldrama

"You young people shouldn't take things too seriously!"

The middle-aged woman talked non-stop.

"My husband..."

Grace instantly thought of Brian. She hurriedly asked, "How is Brian? I mean, my husband, how is he?" "Your husband seems to be seriously injured. He's in another ward."

Grace quickly got off the bed and ran to the nurses' station outside. She asked anxiously, "Where's the man who came in with me?"

"Miss Grace, don't be anxious. He's still unconscious, but his life is not in danger. Come with me." The nurse led Grace to the ward Brian was in.

Brian had his head wrapped in thick gauze, and his face was pale.

Grace sat beside him worriedly and carefully thought about what had happened.

Who was the person who threw her into the sea? Other than Louise, Grace really could not think of anyone else with such a deep hatred for her.

Was the person related to Louise or Peyton? Was he here to avenge them?

Then why did Brian suddenly appear?

No matter how much Grace thought about it, she could not figure it out. She glanced at Brian on the bed. Perhaps he knew something.

She could only wait for Brian to wake up.

A tanned fisherman walked in and looked at Grace with a simple smile. "You're awake?"

Grace looked at him. "You... You saved us?"

The fisherman nodded. "Yes, I went out to sea to fish today and saw the two of you washed up on the reef. Is he your husband? He bled a lot when I found you. Fortunately, found you in time and brought you to the hospital. Otherwise, the two of you would have lost your lives!"

Grace quickly thanked him. "Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome. It's the least I could do. However, why did the two of you fall into the sea? Did a situation get blown out of proportion?"

Grace pursed his lips and shook her head. "No, it's a long story. Thank you for saving us. When I return to Capern City, I will definitely repay you double."

The fisherman waved his hand. "What repayment? We save people for their own good over here. There's no need to repay me."

"Sir, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Sure, just tell me."

"Please help me take care of my husband for a bit. I have to go out and buy some daily necessities for

him. I'm afraid he'll be in the hospital for a while."

"Alright, I can do that for you."

Grace walked out of the hospital.

After asking

that the around, she found out

that they were in Seefer City.

on a small island, and the locals only traveled by boat.

Almost everyone here relied on fishing to make a living, and their economy was relatively underdeveloped.

There was also a persistent smell of fish in the air.

Grace walked down the street for a long time before she found a pawnshop.

She took off the watch on her wrist and the necklace around her neck. These were the only valuable things she had on her. She could get at least twenty thousand dollars from them.

Grace took the money and returned to the hospital. She repaid the fisherman for the medical fees

payment he had made and even gave him an extra 4,000 dollars.

Brian finally woke up in the afternoon.

He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling motionless on the bed.

Grace called out to him, "Brian?"
