Falling for My Contractual Wife

The security guard suddenly stood up. "You're here to find the child? Who are you to the child?"

Upon seeing his reaction, Grace's heart leaped with excitement, tears suddenly rolling down her cheeks. She said loudly, "I'm her mother! Her name is Austin Sherman. I... I can show you the birth certificate..." Grace excitedly searched her phone for a photo, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.

The security guard, seeing her state, knew she must be desperate. "No need to show me. Let me take you inside first!"

Grace's legs were weak, and she was in a state of high tension. Now that she had finally found the whereabouts of Austin, it was as if all her strength had left her. She had barely taken a step when she fell. Carson, who was behind her, quickly supported her. "Grace!"

She clutched Carson's arm, struggled to stand straight, and followed the security guard inside.

The security guard led Grace to the director's office, where Grace eagerly described Austin's appearance and characteristics.

"Madam, where is my daughter? Has she been injured?"

Upon hearing that the child was stolen in the park and seeing Grace's haggard appearance, the director couldn't help but also feel teary-eyed.

The director immediately took her to find Austin.

Austin was still asleep, and according to the staff who were looking after Austin, Austin had been crying all night, and there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.

Grace rushed over to see her, tears flowing down her cheeks again. She carefully picked her up and checked if she was injured anywhere.

Apart from some bruise around the mouth, there were no other injuries.

Grace's hanging heart finally settled back into her chest.

Carson gritted his teeth and said, "Louise is such a bastard! I'm going to make sure she ends up in prison!"

Justin asked, "Madam, are there any surveillance cameras around the welfare institution? Have you checked for any suspicious guy?"

"We checked the surveillance videos yesterday when we found the child. She was found in a blind spot of the surveillance and we didn't find anything," the director replied.

Justin's expression turned grim as he pressed his lips together. From the moment the child was taken, all the cameras had been deliberately avoided, indicating a premeditated act by someone familiar with the surroundings.

"Miss Sherman, I understand your feelings, but for the child's sake, we must first follow the procedures to confirm the child's identity," the director said.

Grace nodded. "Okay, what needs to be done?"

"You need to go back and get the passport and the child's birth certificate. I will accompany you to the hospital for a blood test for the child," the director explained. "Okay, no problem." Grace agreed.

"It's just a procedure. Thank you for your understanding," the director said.

"You have saved my daughter. You are the one who should be thanked as the child's benefactor!" Grace couldn't help but shed more tears.

After obtaining the necessary documents and confirming the child's identity at the hospital, the director felt reassured and returned to the welfare institution.

Austin had woken up by then and, upon seeing her mother, cried out in grievance for a while, tugging at Grace's heartstrings.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

After venting her grievances, Austin fell asleep peacefully in Grace's arms.

Once Grace took the child home, she too could not hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

In the afternoon, Grace was awakened by the vibration of her phone.

She squinted at the caller ID and saw that it was Brian. She hung up the call without answering.

But soon after, the phone rang again. Grace hung up once more.

However, when she closed her eyes again, she found that she could not fall back asleep.
