Falling for My Contractual Wife

Grace's heart soared with joy. "Dad, you're awake!"

Frederick turned his head to look at her with a pale face and nodded gently.

The doctor instructed, "The patient is no longer in serious condition. We will change the medication for the wound this afternoon. He should pay attention to diet for this period. You can prepare some light, liquid food for him."

Grace nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor."

The doctor smiled and said, "You should thank Dr. Vance. It's all thanks to him. If it had been any other doctor performing the surgery, I'm afraid your father's leg wouldn't have been saved." Grace smiled awkwardly. "I see."

Daisy rolled her eyes and turned to Grace. "The doctor is right! Why don't you give Dr. Vance a call and invite him out to dinner? We need to thank him in person!"

Grace frowned.

The attending doctor had already left the hospital room with the nurses.

Frederick overheard the conversation between them and asked, "Which Dr. Vance?"

Grace didn't give Daisy a chance to speak and seized the opportunity to say, "It's nothing, Dad. You've just woken up; you need to rest. Don't pay attention to her nonsense." Frederick didn't ask anything else. He really didn't have much energy at this moment.

Once Frederick had fallen asleep again, Daisy pulled Grace aside. "Hurry up and call Dr. Vance! We must treat him to a good meal to thank him for helping your dad with the surgery!" Grace rubbed her temples. "He's very busy. He doesn't have time to have dinner with us!"

"Who said that? I'm not busy. I have time today." Suddenly, a warm voice echoed from the entrance of the ward.

Grace looked up in surprise and saw Justin wearing an overcoat, standing in the doorway, smiling at her.

Daisy glanced at his expression, then at Grace, delighted.

"Dr. Vance, what do you want for dinner? It's up to you. Why don't we go tonight!" she said.

Grace intervened hastily and said, "What's the rush? My dad's injuries haven't even healed yet. Let's go together when he's better."

Justin smiled. "When your dad hast

recovered, we should indeed celebrate. But for now, let's

vel.ne

celebrate the success of his surgery

first."

"No... There's no need..."

Daisy interjected, "Dr. Vance is absolutely right! This occasion calls for a celebration of Frederick's successful surgery, and a gesture of gratitude towards Dr. Vance for his eagerness to assist. What would you like for dinner tonight? We'll make a reservation now."

Grace attempted to intervene, but unfortunately, her efforts were in vain.

Justin grinned and remarked casually, "I'm not particular about food. Anything will suffice."

"Great! Grace, why don't you go ahead and make a reservation now!"

Grace scowled and reluctantly took out her cell phone to search for nearby restaurants.

With enthusiasm, Daisy pulled a chair closer, saying, "Dr. Vance, please sit here."

Justin nodded slightly, walked over to the chair, and took a seat.

Daisy seated herself right beside him, wearing a smile, and said, "Dr. Vance, you've known Grace for quite some time, haven't you?"

A slight smile played on Justin's lips as he looked up at Daisy. "Yeah, it's true."

"I recall you mentioning earlier that you didn't have a girlfriend, right?" Daisy continued to ask.

Grace interjected, annoyed, "That's enough! That's his personal matter. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Justin smiled and said, "It's fine. I don't mind. You're right. I truly don't have a girlfriend."

"Considering your family

background, have your parents

arranged any blind dates for you? Or

perhaps there's someone you fancy?" Daisy asked.

Grace was about to lose her temper, fearing Justin might mention her name, so she stepped forward, pulled Justin up, and walked out.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
