The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 380

Leon just exuded this bright, sunny energy. Just hearing his voice helped chase away the dark clouds lingering in my mind.

He was so incredibly patient, insisting I take my time to pack.

A rush of warmth hit me. We were practically bonded by fire now. There was no need for empty pleasantries, so I simply replied with genuine gratitude, "Thank you, Dr. Lennox."

"I'll be waiting right here. See you soon," Leon said before hanging up.

But my thumb lingered on the screen. Someone had just uploaded photos to the group chat.

One was a massive group picture taken right before they boarded the bus.

Dr. Evelyn Yates was front and center, but the most eye-catching part of the photo was the couple standing in the corner: Ferris and Zoey.

It was undeniable—they were both stunningly attractive. But what really commanded attention was how Zoey was practically nestled into Ferris's embrace, flashing a brilliant smile and throwing up a peace sign at the camera.

Ferris was just standing there, but he fully allowed her to lean against him, his handsome face softening with unmistakable adoration.

They truly looked like a picture-perfect, blissfully happy couple.

My eyes burned just looking at it.

Even though I knew he had spent the night with her, and I fully expected them to show up together today, actually seeing the photo still hit me like a physical blow.

I forced down the bitter ache in my chest, closed the app, and went back to washing my face. But every time I blinked, I saw the two of them standing side by side, beaming with happiness.

It seemed Ferris had done a spectacular job comforting his darling. Zoey looked radiant and energized, without a single trace of a tearful, drunken hangover.

I nodded, silently opening the oatmeal, my heart feeling as warm as the food in my hands.

My world was in absolute shambles, but somehow, someone was still here trying to piece it back together for me.

Ferris had shattered my heart into a million pieces, yet a friend like Leon was offering me nothing but warmth. In a way, I was still incredibly lucky.

Westmont was just on the outskirts of Port Capital. We got a late start because Leon waited for me, but he made excellent time. The three of us arrived at the resort just as Dr. Yates was handing out room keys.

As Leon rolled my suitcase over, the head nurse greeted us with a massive grin. "The rest of us had to take the bus, but Leon drove his private SUV just for you. Isn't he the most considerate guy ever, Selena?"

Her comment immediately drew everyone's eyes to us.

Zoey had been whispering something to Ferris, but the moment she saw Leon and me approaching, her round eyes lit up with a sweet smile, looking as if she were about to call out a greeting.
