Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 736

A smile appeared on Grace's face. She walked up to Austin and called out to her carefully, "Austin, are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Austin heard her voice and slowly turned to look at her. She blinked and turned to look out of the window again.

Grace pursed her lips and tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart.

Brian also noticed that Austin was different from usual.

Usually, when she saw him, she would definitely call him daddy happily. But today, she didn't.

Brian frowned and asked, "What happened to her?"

Grace's eyelashes fluttered. After a long while, she said, "The doctor said that she was in shock."

She did not have the courage to tell Brian that Austin might have leukemia.

Whenever she thought of this possibility, even breathing hurt.

Brian's heart sank. He walked over and gently carried Austin into his arms. He looked at her and said, "Baby, Daddy is here to see you. Why are you ignoring Daddy?"

Austin blinked and looked at him. There seemed to be a little light in her eyes. This slight change delighted Grace.

However, in the next second, Austin's words pierced their hearts like a needle. "Dad, why didn't you protect Mom and me? I'm scared. Mom's scared too."

Brian's heart felt like it was being gripped by a pair of invisible iron claws. His heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

Grace could not help but turn around and cover her mouth. Tears flowed into her palm.

Brian said, "Sorry, Austin. I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Daddy will definitely protect you and Mommy well in the future. You and Mommy are Daddy's darlings, more important than Daddy's life."

Austin did not say anything else and just leaned against him quietly.

The ward was very quiet for a moment.
