Falling for My Contractual Wife

After getting along for a period, Grace knew that Austin was an obedient and sensible child. Therefore, she was very relieved to leave her alone at home.

When Grace went to the company, the employees asked, "Miss Nova, where's your daughter? Why didn't she come with you today?"

"She's at home sleeping. I think she's a bit tired from coming out with me for the past few days. School starts tomorrow, so I'm letting her rest."

In the afternoon, Grace was concerned about leaving the child alone at home, so she bought groceries early and headed home.

However, she didn't see Austin upon returning home, which caused her heart to skip a beat.

Without hesitation, she dropped the groceries and rushed outside.

After searching around the neighborhood without finding Austin, she hurried to the security office to check the surveillance footage. Grace discovered that Austin had left on her own shortly after she left home.

She immediately drove out to look for Austin as her heart pounded in panic. Her feet trembled and were unsteady even when stepping on the accelerator.

Austin has just returned to her side and Grace started to wonder if she was about to experience the pain of losing her child again.

With tears in her eyes, Grace looked at the street and slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

Her hands trembled as she took out her phone and called Carson.

"Carson, Austin is missing. She is gone and I don't know what to do."noveldrama

Upon learning this, Carson also went out immediately to find Austin.

As night fell and Austin was still not found, Grace was completely exhausted, squatting on the street and crying.

Carson comforted her, "Grace, don't cry. Austin is so smart and she'll be fine."

Grace had already reported to the police, but they couldn't locate Austin yet and asked her to wait for updates.

Carson wanted Grace to go home first, but he knew she wouldn't do so until they found Austin.

After crying for a while, Grace hurriedly got up and continued searching.

At midnight, Carson received a surprising call.

"Vivian?"

"Carson, please come to the hospital and take Joy back."

Carson asked in surprise, "Is Joy with you now?"

"Yeah, didn't you guys know?"

Carson frowned and glanced at Grace, who was still looking for the child not far away. "Alright, I got it." After hanging up, Vivian looked at Austin, who had just woken up.

"Joy, does your mom know you're out?"

*****

Ten minutes later, the ward door was pushed open.

Grace's face was covered in tears, and her eyes were swollen as she looked at Austin.

Austin knew she had made a mistake this time, biting her lip and lowering her head. "I'm sorry."

Grace's tears flowed uncontrollably as she rushed to hug Austin and cried heartbrokenly.

Austin could feel Grace's body trembling slightly.

The child's eyes welled up with tears as she gently touched her hair. "Mommy, I'm sorry. I missed Vivian so I came over secretly to take a look. planned to go back before night but I accidentally fell asleep."

she couldn't find her.

With tearful eyes, Grace held Austin's face and choked, "Do you know how worried I was when I couldn't find you? The first time was when you were just over a month old, the second time you were thrown into the sea by a bad person. Back then, I thought I'd never see you again. This time..."

Grace sobbed uncontrollably. Every time Austin went missing, it felt like an executioner was torturing her heart.

Austin lowered her head and kept apologizing.
