The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 414

"Ferris, what are you doing in Selena's room?"

Zoey's questioning voice sounded from behind Amber, blowing my mind completely blank.

My luck tonight was absolute garbage. First, I was burning up and delirious with a fever. Then, I had a nightmare that scared me into waking up in tears. Right after that, I was caught in a showdown between Caspian and Ferris.

And now, it wasn't just Amber who walked in on me being alone in a room with two men.

Ferris's precious girl had stumbled right into the scene, too.

For a second, I had the bizarre illusion of being caught cheating by Zoey, as if I had stolen her man.

Even though this man was still my legally wedded husband.

And right now, the young girl stared at my face, her hands curled into tight fists at her sides. Her round eyes were wide open as her gaze darted between Ferris and me, brimming with suspicion and anger.

I felt overwhelmingly guilty and had completely lost the energy to explain.

Given the current situation, how could I even explain this? Furthermore, I didn't even know who I was supposed to be explaining it to anymore.

The air plunged into silence again—a bizarre, tense silence. Under Zoey's furious glare and Amber's look of sheer shock, I lowered my head, my fingertips gripping the soft fabric of my clothes. I desperately wished the ground would swallow me whole so I could hide for a while.

This was all Ferris's fault!

A divorce should look like a divorce. He was perfectly happy being affectionate with Zoey, so why did he have to come to my room?

Caspian's words caused the suspicion and anger in Zoey's eyes to burn even brighter.

"I have no need to piggyback off your gesture," Ferris scoffed coldly.

Amber looked embarrassed. "Maybe Dr. Sterling... maybe he didn't know beforehand..."

I hurriedly spoke up. "You've all misunderstood. Dr. Sterling isn't here to see me. He just came over to borrow the bathroom."

At that moment, everyone's gaze locked onto my face, including Ferris's.

"Dr. Sterling, you're done using the bathroom, right? Zoey must be looking for you. You should head back with her." I met Ferris's piercing gaze with complete composure, then smiled at Zoey. "Zoey, you should take him with you. Caspian only brought enough food for the two of us, so I won't invite you guys to stay for a meal."
