Falling for My Contractual Wife (Grace and Brian) novel Chapter 605

"What did you say?" Louise could not believe what she heard and asked with a trembling voice.

"It's only been a few days. Are your ears not working anymore? I said Grace's daughter is not dead. She already knows that she is Marshall's real daughter. Their family will be able to live happily together soon," Nelson repeated word by word.

His words were like a curse, echoing in Louise's ears over and over again.

She could no longer listen to what Nelson said. Her mind was filled with images of Brian and Grace living in a happy family with their child.

She sat there in a daze with tears in her eyes. She did not know when Nelson had left, but there was a string of gold in front of her.

Louise took the string of gold and slowly walked back to the cell.

The next day, when the prison guard called her for dinner, Louise lay on the bed and did not get up. The other prisoners did not care about her at all.

When it was time to labor, she was the complete opposite of her usual noisy self. She quietly did her own work. It lasted for three days.

That morning, Louise couldn't get up. The guard came in to hold her hand and found that she was covered in sweat. Her face was pale and distorted as if she had suffered unbearable agony.

The guard realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Louise did not speak. To be precise, she was in so much pain that she could not speak.

The prison guard hurriedly took her to the hospital. The doctor thought that she had a stomachache and prescribed some stomach medicine and painkillers.

The prison guard let Louise take the pills and left her cell.

The next morning, her roommates suddenly shouted, "She's dead! She's dead!"
