Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 270

Louise brought the final dish to the table, smiling brightly at Brian. She served him soup and helped him with the food. After siping the fish soup, Louise eagerly awaited his response and asked, "How is it?"

Brian nodded. "Yes, it's delicious."

Brian suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten at home in a long time. Ever since Grace left, he rarely ate alone. Now, sitting here, Brian felt like something was missing. He lowered his head and took another sip of soup, feeling like it lacked something. Finally, he understood. It was missing Grace's unique and delicious touch.

Brian's gaze faltered for a moment. Louise noticed him spacing out and waved her hand in front of him. "Brian, what's wrong?"

Brian shook his head. "Nothing."

Louise pursed her lip and suddenly scratched her sleeve. A blister appeared on her fair skin.

Brian's eyes flashed with concern as he nervously asked, "What happened?"

Louise pouted at him. "I accidentally got burned by oil while frying the fish just now."

Brian frowned. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Are you trying to act tough? His reproachful tone carried a hint of tenderness.

Tears welled up in Louise's eyes. "I wanted to finish cooking... Being able to cook for someone you care about is the greatest happiness."

Brian affectionately patted her head. "You silly. Forget it, you shouldn't cook anymore in the future. Let the servants handle it."

Louise shook her head. "No, it's okay. It's just a little burn from the oil. I can handle it. I'll be more careful next time."

Brian sighed. "Alright, let's eat first. After that, I'll take you to the hospital."

"Okay!" Louise nodded vigorously.

Grace rushed over. "Dad, your injury hasn't healed yet. How can you be discharged?"

Upon seeing her, Daisy stood up abruptly, pointing her finger at Grace and scolding, "You ungrateful wretch! How do you expect your father to stay in the hospital if you don't pay?"

Frederick shouted irritably, "Can you stop making a scene? Staying in the hospital is just a waste of money! Grace has already paid the hospital fees! How much more money do you want to squeeze out of her?"

Frederick turned to Grace. "Grace, don't listen to her nonsense. I can recover from this minor injury at home. It's not easy for you to take care of the children. Save money wherever you can."

"No! You've barely saved your leg. How can you be so careless? What if something goes wrong while you're recovering at home? Do you still want to work and earn money?" Grace exclaimed.

Daisy seized the opportunity. "Are all those pretty words going to help? Quickly give me twenty thousand dollars!"
