Falling for My Contractual Wife (Grace and Brian) novel Chapter 556

"It's a fact that Louise and him have a history together. Not only did Louise save him, she also saved you. It's normal for Brian to feel bad for her now that she's injured. Even if their spark reignites after this, I can accept it," Nova said.

It was evident that Nova's words made Jasmine anxious. "That won't do. He needs to let go of the past! I'm afraid I can't agree with him reconciling with Louise. You are the only daughter-in-law I will accept! Don't worry, Nova. I am confident that Brian won't do anything rash."

Nova lowered her head in response as the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It was unknown if she was mocking herself or smiling at the incredulity of Jasmine's words.

After Nova and Jasmine left, Brian sent a message to Camren and asked him to look for a caregiver.

When Louise saw that Brian was willing to stay and take care of her, she knew that Brian still had a soft spot for her.

She bit her lip and looked at him with a pitiful expression on her face. "Brian, the anesthesia seems to have worn off. It hurts now."

Brian looked up at Louise. She seemed to be in genuine pain, and the tears in her eyes were threatening to fall.

"Then... I'll go get a nurse to show you how to relieve the pain," Brian suggested.

"There's no need. The only thing the nurse can do would be to prescribe painkillers. I don't want to take medicine. How about you talk to me instead? If my attention is on something else, it would stop hurting," Louise replied.

"Okay." Brian nodded.

Louise's voice was very gentle, giving Brian the illusion that Louise was still the kind girl that he once knew.

How could the girl who risked her life to save someone in the face of danger be a murderer?' Brian thought.

The both of them started having a conversation. As they chatted, Louise slowly shifted the topic towards their past together.

Louise's words dripped with nostalgia as she reminisced the past. Even so, Brian merely remained silent and grunted in affirmation from time to time.

Not long after, the porridge that Brian had ordered for Louise arrived, which prompted Louise to end the conversation.
