The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 441

Maybe I just hadn't adjusted well to my emotional fluctuations. But I figured emotions always settled eventually; once you'd cried all your tears for someone, the tears simply stopped falling.

Behind the inpatient building was a pavilion where people could relax. I walked over, picked a sunny spot, and sat down. Closing my eyes, I let out a long sigh, quietly enjoying the warmth of the sun.

The winter sun wasn't harsh, just pleasantly warm. A faint, crisp floral scent drifted by, soothing and refreshing—probably from the winter plum blossoms.

Surrounded by that cool fragrance, my mind gradually calmed and cleared.

Just then, a shadow fell over my eyelids, as if someone had stepped in front of me.

I opened my eyes to see a long, pale hand blocking the glare. Looking up, I met a pair of smiling, predatory eyes and a devilishly handsome face.

"Dr. Cross?" I was genuinely surprised.

It was Caspian Cross.

Running into him at the Westmont Hot Springs had been unexpected enough. I never thought he'd show up at Capital General today.

I couldn't help but ask, "What brings you here? Business?"

"No, personal. A friend of mine got hurt and was admitted here, so I came to see her," Caspian replied briefly, a slight frown crossing his face.

Before I could ask which room his friend was in or what had happened, he added, "I thought I saw you from a distance, and sure enough, here you are. Absorbing the essence of the universe, Dr. Hayes?"

My face instantly flushed.

It was that feeling again, just like when he had touched my forehead last time.

The reaction made me flustered and uneasy.

I couldn't even meet his smiling eyes. I stood up in a panic, stammering, "I—I need to go eat. My mom brought me food. I'll see you later, Caspian."

"Take your time, Dr. Hayes." Caspian's voice drifted playfully from behind me. "You're walking with the same arm and leg forward."
