The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 508

It was a strangely wonderful feeling.

Technically, I did have a little sister.

Sabrina, who was currently studying abroad.

But my actual flesh and blood was nowhere near as lovable as Tiffany. We weren't close at all; in fact, our relationship was downright toxic. Even though Ferris was the one footing the bill for her expensive overseas education, Sabrina had never shown an ounce of gratitude toward me.

Worse yet, when Vivian had maliciously cut off her allowance, Sabrina called me strictly to scream at me, demanding to know why I couldn't keep my husband happy and complaining about how humiliated she was in front of her friends.

She had never once offered me a single word of comfort or care, and she certainly never whined in this adorable, natural way about me not visiting her.

Who wouldn't fall for a girl this sweet? I couldn't help but smile, softening my voice to soothe her. "I've had a family emergency the past couple of days so I had to take some time off. But I'll be back at work soon, and I promise you'll be my first stop."

"You took time off? Why? What happened?" Tiffany latched onto the excuse instantly, her voice filled with urgency. "Do you need any help?"

"It's nothing major, I can handle it. But thank you, Ms. Thorne." She was surprisingly kindhearted to offer her help so readily.

"I haven't even done anything and you're already thanking me? Don't be so formal! And you don't need to thank me anyway. I only want to help you because I like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't lift a finger even if you begged." Tiffany was incredibly straightforward. She blurted out exactly what was on her mind with zero pretense or filter.

And I honestly adored that about her.

After dealing with so many two-faced women who hid daggers behind their smiles, encountering someone this genuine and direct was a breath of fresh air. "I'm not just being polite. I really do appreciate that you like me."

"Well, if you ever need anything, you have to tell me, okay? You're Caspian's friend, which means you're under the protection of Tiffany the Great." Tiffany the Great? This girl really was exactly like her namesake—innocent and hilariously fun.

It also proved just how fiercely her family protected her, allowing her to remain so unapologetically pure.
