Chapter 245
Tina carried Austin until she fell asleep before reluctantly putting the baby down.
Grace looked at the baby's face. It had been seven days. She was looking more like Brian. She looked at the baby's face in a daze.
Tina said, "Miss Grace, the fish soup should be ready. I'll get it for you."
Grace came back to her senses. "Okay."
Grace felt that she had been very strange recently. She would always think of Brian. When she thought of him, her heart would ache as if it was pierced by needles.
Tina quickly served the fish soup. "Miss Grace, get up and drink the soup." She put down the fish soup and carefully helped Grace up.
After feeding Grace the fish soup, Tina got some iodophor to disinfect her wound.
Tina also realized Grace was in a bad state these few days. She asked worriedly, "Miss Grace, is there something on your mind? Why don't you call your family? Is there someone who can accompany you?" Grace shook her head. Other than Carson, no one cared about her.
Tina took out her phone. "You're recovering from pregnancy now. You can't be depressed. I'll find a game for you to play."
"No," Grace said, "Tina, help me get my phone."
"Okay," Tina replied.
Grace had not looked at her phone for a few days. Justin called her on Christmas Eve, but she did not pick up. He then sent her a message, but she did not reply. She thought about it and was about to call him when Justin called. "Hello?"
Justin said, "Grace, why aren't you in the shop? I called you but you didn't answer. Do you know how worried I was? Where are you now?"
Grace was silent for a while before sending him a location. "Come over and we'll talk."
Justin drove to Grace's residence.
Tina went downstairs to lead Justin up. He was stunned when he saw the baby on her bed. "You gave birth?"
Grace smiled. "It was born on Christmas Eve, so I didn't have time to answer your call."
Justin walked to the bed and
scrutinized Grace. "Are you alright? Did you give birth naturally? Why did
you come to the countryside?
recover?"
"It has to be a natural birth. If it's a C-section..." Grace couldn't escape at all.
Justin asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brian dropped by," Grace told him.
Justin frowned. "So, you came here to avoid him?"
Grace nodded. "He was also in the hospital when the baby was born asked the doctor for help and successfully escaped from his clutches."
Justin's eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, he looked at the sleeping Austin. He carefully picked up the baby. "Boy or girl?" "Girl," Grace said.
Justin looked at Austin. She looked very much like Brian. "What's her name?"
"Austin Sherman," Grace replied. "I've always liked that name."
Justin said, "It's a good name. Austin, your mother has suffered a lot so you could be born safely. You have to be good to your mother."
Justin carried Austin for a while

before gently putting her down. He looked at Grace and asked, "Grace, when are you going to return to Capern City?"
Grace's gaze became distant. "We'll see."
Justin looked at her and hesitated. "Grace, are you afraid you'll bump into Brian when you return?"
Grace's heart trembled when she heard the name.
Justin added, "There's something I don't know if I should tell you."
Justin's words piqued Grace's curiosity. "What is it?"
