Falling for My Contractual Wife

It seemed she was wrong.

Seeing that she wasn't going to press the issue, Frederick hastily changed the subject. "By the way, you gave birth to the child alone. What are you going to do afterward?"

Grace glanced at the baby. "You don't have to worry about that. I can raise her alone."

Frederick sighed. "You'd better find a man to marry, so you and your daughter have someone to rely on."

Grace met his gaze. "Don't worry about me. Look at your hair. It's all starting to turn gray."

With that, she smoothly walked over and searched for gray hairs on his head.

"Dad, you really have a lot more gray hairs. Let me pull them out for you."

After saying this, she plucked a few strands from his head and hid them in her palm.

Frederick didn't think much of it and just let her pull out a few hairs.

Not long after, the nurse came in to change his medication. Grace left the ward and put the hairs in a ziplock bag.

In the afternoon, Grace finally called Justin at Daisy's repeated urging.

They were eating at a restaurant near the hospital.

Daisy enthusiastically put food into his plate. Grace, fearing Daisy might say something inappropriate, kept asking Justin questions about the hospital, preventing Daisy from interrupting. After dinner, Grace said, "I'm going to send Dr. Vance back. You guys can take Austin back first."

Daisy was so angry her face turned gloomy, but she couldn't make a scene now. She begrudgingly returned to the hospital with the others.

Inside the car, Grace handed Justin both her hairs and the Frederick couple's hairs.

"Could you help me do a paternity test with that?"

Justin lowered his head and took what she was holding. "Sure."

"When can I get the result?"

"Come to my hospital the day after tomorrow, and I'll have it for you."

Normally, it would take at least half a month or more to get the result but through Justin's connections, it would only take two days to get the result.

"Didn't your dad tell you anything?"

Grace's eyes were filled with confusion as she nodded. "They're all concealing my origin, but the more they do, the more I find it strange. Was I trafficked? Or abandoned? After becoming a mother, I realized that a child means more to a mother than her own life!"

Grace couldn't hold back her tears. "If I was trafficked, how desperate must my parents have been? If was abandoned, I want to find them and ask why they left me!" S

Justin reached for a tissue and gently wiped away her tears. "Okay, I will help you find them."

During the two days of waiting for the results, Grace felt utterly lost.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Grace went to Justin's hospital and sat in his office, staring at the two sets of paternity test reports. Her heart sank.

She had guessed correctly. She wasn't Daisy's daughter, and she wasn't Frederick's daughter either. She wasn't related to anyone in the Sherman family.

Grace snatched the reports and rushed back to the hospital.

Frederick was the only one in the ward. She slammed the door behind her and threw the reports onto the bed. "Tell me! Who am I?"

Frederick glanced at the two reports, his brow furrowed deeply.

"Say something!" Grace demanded.

Frederick dropped his arms helplessly. "Stop asking! I don't know who you are either. You were actually found abandoned on the side of the road." So she truly was abandoned?

She pressed on and asked, "Then did I have any belongings with me that could prove my identity?"

Frederick shook his head.

He thought back and said, "But from the bedding wrapped around you, you seemed to be from a wealthy family."
