My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 78

Grace found the name ‘Jay’ in her contact list on her phone and called his number. After a while, the call connected and

Jay’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Hello.”

“I have something to do. I’m afraid that I will be back late today. You… you can prepare dinner for yourself,” Grace said.

“What do you mean ‘you have something to do’?”

“Just tell him that you’re in the hospital right now,” Lina interrupted.

“What does she mean you are in the hospital right now?” There was a pronounced change in Jay’s tone.

“I took a fall, and now I’m waiting for X-rays.”

“In the hospital?” Jay said as if confirming.

“Yes.” Grace sighed.

“Which hospital?” Jay asked. “I’m coming now.”

“You don’t have to come. Lina is here with me. Just wait for me at home,” she said in a hurry. “I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

The other end of the phone was silent. After a long minute, Jason repeated his previous question, “Which hospital?”

Grace bit her lip and replied, “First City.”

Chills wracked her body and her stomach dipped at the thought of inconveniencing him. She had lost her mother

when she was a child and her family had kept her at arm’s length for most of her adolescence. Prison, that had shown her that she was truly on her own.

Grace really didn’t feel comfortable troubling others for anything. No one owed her anything. And she was capable of handling life’s issues on her own.
