The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 196

A thug unlocked the turnstile, and I walked back inside with absolute calm. I glanced at a nearby one-story utility building with a metal staircase strapped to its side, then looked at Julian bleeding on the asphalt, and made a mad dash for the stairs.

In seconds, I reached the edge of the roof.

Looking down, over a dozen menacing men stared back up at me, including Leon, who had just been dragged over.

My toes were mere inches from the fatal drop.

"Manager Madden, what is this crazy woman doing?"

I stared down at the vicious crowd and spoke calmly. "I have the pills. Let my friends go right now, and I'll stay."

Madden's expression stiffened at my words, and he snapped, "Just because you say you have them doesn't mean you do."

I opened my palm and said coldly, "Stop my friend's bleeding and let them walk out of here."

Madden laughed out loud. "Just because you say so? Who the hell do you think you are?"

I glanced at Madden, looked down at the concrete below, gritted my teeth, and stepped one foot entirely off the ledge.

"Selena, no!" Leon's frantic voice tore through the yard. "It's too dangerous!"

I stood on the precipice, my eyes locking with Leon's, refusing to back down. Madden, watching from below, suddenly realized something. He analyzed me carefully before gasping, "You're Dr. Hayes. The one who saved Barney."

The crowd erupted in shock, every single eye locking onto me. I didn't hide it. "That's right. I am Dr. Hayes."

"So you decided to deliver yourself right to us?"

I wasn't intimidated by his threat. I glared at Madden. "Your company is already in massive trouble. What do you think will happen if another person dies right here in your logistics yard?"

Madden sneered. "You wouldn't dare jump."

Someone had to speak out.

I, Selena Hayes, had absolutely no regrets.

Just as I prepared to lean forward and let gravity take me, the piercing wail of police sirens shattered the silence. "This is the police! You are completely surrounded..."

I snapped my eyes open in shock. Looking past the gates, I saw countless police cruisers flooding the compound.

We were all taken to the station.

Julian, who was on good terms with the officers, managed to get some inside information. Apparently, even before we arrived at Thorne Logistics, someone from Capital General had already handed Barney's blood test results over to the police, and the authorities had already been monitoring the facility.

I was completely bewildered. Someone had discovered the truth about the driver even before Leon and I did?
