The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 525

"I've rested enough. My wrist is still a bit sore, but it won't affect my performance too much. The department is swamped, and I have a mountain of patient records to catch up on. I can't afford to fall behind."

"You really are incredibly talented and hardworking, Selena. You've got such a bright future ahead of you," the Head Nurse said, her eyes full of admiration.

Amber chimed in, teasing playfully, "I completely agree! With your skills, Selena, becoming an attending physician is practically a given. Hell, you'll probably make Deputy Director in no time!"

In the past, I might have just laughed it off and kept the joke going.

After all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. The whole point of working hard is to keep advancing.

Having ambition and goals is a good thing.

But after Caspian's warning last night, I had become hyper-sensitive to this kind of talk.

This was highly likely the exact reason Dr. Logan was targeting me. If these words made their way back to him, he would only become more paranoid and vindictive.

I didn't want external factors interfering with my work, nor did I want to waste my energy on office politics instead of medicine.

I squeezed Amber's hand, quickly shutting her down. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I just want to survive my internship first. Besides, everyone who makes it into Capital General is talented and hardworking. I'm lightyears away from a Deputy Director position..."

"You're absolutely right about that," a harsh voice interrupted before I could finish my sentence.

It was stiff, cold, and laced with a mix of sarcasm and fury.

Dr. Logan's face was terrifyingly dark today. He slammed a folder down on his desk with a loud smack.

The office fell dead silent. Amber stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to say. Thankfully, a patient's call bell rang, and the Head Nurse quickly dragged Amber out of the room with her.
