“Where’s your wedding ring?”
Nella froze and followed his gaze to the finger that was now completely bare.
On the night she returned from Glacieroth, she had taken off her wedding ring while washing up.
She found an excuse and replied, “Surgeons aren’t allowed to wear jewelry. I took it off.”
Alfred knew that.
But he also knew that every time Nella removed her wedding ring, she always kept it carefully and put it back on whenever she wasn’t in surgery.
She had never once forgotten it.
Yet now, her ring finger was empty.
And she had brushed him off with the most reasonable excuse possible.
A sharp pain tore through Alfred’s chest.
As if he couldn’t accept her attitude toward the wedding ring, his brows darkened and he said coldly, “You’re not in surgery right now.”
Nella frowned, irritation flashing across her face at his sudden fixation on such a small thing.
“Taking it on and off is a hassle. It’s easy to lose. I put it in my bedroom drawer.”
Alfred’s chest tightened, and he fell silent.

The chill in his eyes looked ready to spill over as he stared at Nella’s indifferent expression. His voice came out hoarse.
“You never thought it was a hassle before.”

Nella couldn’t understand why Alfred was making such a big deal out of something so trivial, and the irritation inside her surged again.
“That was before. Now I do. Is that not allowed?”
The impatience in her tone left Alfred openly stunned, a flash of confusion crossing his face.
Nella knew exactly what had shocked him.
After all, the Nella from before would never have spoken to him like this.
She had always been gentle and composed in front of him, her voice soft and pleasant.
Especially when she spoke to him, she always smiled, her eyes curved warmly.
She had never shown this kind of obvious impatience after just a few
sentences.
Perhaps because no one had ever bruised his pride like this before, Alfred’s expression turned ugly.
His jaw tightened, clearly holding something back.
His cool, thin lips pressed into a straight line, making him seem even more unapproachable.
