The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 304

The news of Ferris's suspension spread through Capital General within an hour. It was like a drop of water hitting boiling oil, sending massive shockwaves throughout the hospital.

The hospital quickly formed The Hospital Inquiry Board, and Dr. Hudson temporarily took over as the head of the Department of Neurosurgery.

Even Ferris's office door was sealed shut.

Unlike the petty gossip and rumors I'd been dragged into before, this was clearly much more severe.

Zoey was also swept up in the scandal. While she hadn't been suspended like Ferris, from what I heard, she was dealing with her fair share of personal attacks.

Things were getting incredibly ugly.

But amidst all this chaos, the most hotly debated topic was the identity of the anonymous whistleblower.

Unfortunately, I found myself as one of the prime suspects in their discussions.

This wasn't the first time my name had been dragged into drama with Ferris and Zoey. Even though I appeared unfazed on the outside, deep down, it bothered me immensely.

The Prenuptial Agreement was about to expire. With Ferris caught in a scandal right now, if someone dug up the fact that we were actually married, I'd be dragged through the mud for absolutely no reason.

All I wanted right now was to quietly wait for the agreement to end.

The phrase "slept her way in" stopped both Amber and me dead in our tracks.

Seeing Amber practically bursting with rage, I quickly grabbed her hand, but I was a second too late.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Amber's voice trembled with fury. "Dr. Sterling being reported has absolutely nothing to do with Dr. Hayes or me! Stop slandering innocent people!"

The gossiping group clearly hadn't expected to run into us at a moment like this. Several pairs of eyes snapped toward us. Led by Zelda, the little clique stood up, glaring at us with undisguised contempt.

"Whoever did it knows it in their heart," Zelda glared furiously. "But let's be honest, there are plenty of talented people at Capital General. Someone shouldn't think they're all that just because they have a master's degree. With how good Dr. Hayes is at schmoozing, passing the old professor's evaluation was probably a piece of cake, wasn't it?"
