Falling for My Contractual Wife

For the next few days, although Austin still didn't speak much, the air in the ward seemed to have become much lighter with the success of the surgery.

Brian's leg injury was also slowly recovering.

A week later, Austin was discharged from the hospital.

The family of three bought tickets and returned home.

On the plane, Brian told Grace, "I asked my mom to prepare a lot of Austin and your favorite dishes. She knows-"

"I'm not going to the Francis family." Grace interrupted him halfway.

Brian's eyes darkened.

Grace looked sideways at him and said, "Shawn and Jaclyn returned to Capern City. They've prepared dinner."

Brian frowned slightly. "Alright, I'll go with you."

'With Grandpa around, how can Grace return to the Francis family?' Brian thought.

After leaving the airport, they saw Carson and Vivian waiting for them from afar at the door.

When Austin saw Carson and Vivian, her gaze moved as if she wanted to say something. Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Vivian's heart ached. "Joy, I'm Vivian. You've been away for so long. I miss you so much."

Austin looked at her but didn't greet her.

"She's probably a little tired. Let's go back first," Grace said.

Carson bought many gifts for Austin. They were all her favorite Barbie dolls.

As soon as they arrived home, Carson handed her the gifts he had bought. "Austin. Do you like it?"

Austin reached out and picked up a Barbie doll. She stroked the doll's hair and nodded at Carson.

Austin raised her head and looked at the people in the room. Everyone was looking at her.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on the Barbie doll.

She seemed to hear many voices lingering in her ears. It felt like she was about to suffocate.

Austin suddenly smashed the Barbie doll in her hand to the ground. She screamed, turned around, and ran into the room, locking the door.

Everyone was still in shock and had no time to stop her.

Grace's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly went forward and knocked on the door. "Austin. Baby, what's wrong?"

There was no movement inside. Everyone was so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

Brian walked forward and said, "I'll give it a try. All of you go and eat first. She has only been

accompanied by Grace and me recently. Perhaps she's a little afraid

when she sees so many people."

Grace felt his analysis made sense. Moreover, Brian's guidance during this period helped to ease Austin's condition.

She was relieved to hand Austin to him.

Everyone dispersed, leaving Brian at the door. He said softly to the inside, "Baby, it's Daddy. Can you open the door and let Daddy in?"

Austin was sitting on the floor in the room. When she heard her father's voice, she turned sideways to glance at the door.

She heard her father coaxing her softly outside, so gently and carefully.

Deep down, she knew they all loved her very much, but the more it was like this, the more she hated herself.

It was because she knew that she

was sick, and it was severe. Her mother was so worried about her that she couldn't sleep. Her father also quarreled with her

great-grandfather because of her.

Her mother and father also quarreled because her great-grandfather didn't like

her...

She wanted to get close to them, but her fear made her feel extremely conflicted.
