Falling for My Contractual Wife

Grace then noticed what Brian had just done and stood up to look at him. "Brian, thank you for today. It's getting late. You should go." Brian didn't move, standing there with a cold expression.

He himself didn't know why he was here accompanying her to search for the child, when the child had nothing to do with him.

Grace had already dismissed him, but his legs just wouldn't carry him away.

At that moment, Louise called him, and after a glance, he left the police station.

Carson inquired, "Grace, have there been any developments regarding Austin?"

Grace shook her head, the movement was very slight, as she was utterly exhausted. Upon thinking about the possibility that Austin might be hungry, cold, and scared at this moment, her heart felt as if it was being tightly wrung. Vivian was in tears. "Carson, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't keep a good eye on Austin... Scold me! I feel absolutely terrible. Please, yell at me!"

Carson frowned, looking at her with a complex expression. His hand raised and paused mid-air before he gently patted her shoulder. "I know it wasn't intentional on your part. Austin will be fine."

Hearing Carson comfort her instead, Vivian felt even more guilty.

Outside the police station, Brian was smoking while on the phone.

"Brian, aren't you coming? It's almost dark."

He then remembered that Louise was still waiting at the park. He glanced at the police station and then said indifferently into the phone, "I'm sorry, Louise. Something urgent came up, and I forgot to tell you." Louise asked suspiciously, "What kind of urgent matter?"

"It's work-related. I'll hang up now. I'll have someone come to pick you up, okay?"

"Oh, never mind, it's not necessary. I'll just take a taxi back."

"Okay." Brian nodded and then ended the call.

The police chief was consoling Grace, saying to her, "Miss Sherman, you should go back home and wait for news. We will notify you immediately once we have any information."

Grace's voice was hoarse as she asked, "How long will it take to find out?"

"As soon as this human trafficker leaves Capern City, we will be able to apprehend him immediately."

"What if he's not a human trafficker? What if he was hired to do this?" Grace asked with rising emotion.

"Are you suggesting, Miss Sherman, that the child might have been kidnapped by an enemy?" The police chief narrowed his

eyes.

Grace nodded. "Yes! I have someone in mind, Chief, and I hope you can help me investigate."

Brian's deep voice came from behind, as he quickly approached "Grace, go back and get some rest first.

"Why won't you let me investigate her?!" Grace looked at him coldly.

Brian pinched the bridge of his nose and said with patience, "I know you won't be able to sleep even if you go back now. But you can't just run around like a headless chicken. Let's wait for the police to finish their initial investigation, okay?" To Grace, no matter what Brian said, it seemed like he was covering for Louise.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her heart felt cold, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes, Brian, if anything happens to Austin, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

Grace ran out of the police station, with Carson and Vivian following closely behind.

Once in the car, Grace noticed that Justin had called her several times.

He was calling again, and Grace answered the phone. Justin said, "I'm sorry. I was in surgery all afternoon and just finished now. You were looking for me?" Hearing Justin's voice, Grace was instantly choked up and couldn't speak.

Justin's heart skipped a beat. "Grace, what's happened?"
