The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 539

"Let me go, I'm going to kill her! I want her dead!" Zoey's eyes weren't just burning with rage; her gaunt, sunken face was flushed bright red with fury. Hatred spewed from her eyes and radiated from her bulging, tightly clenched jaw.

Her fingers were curled like bird talons, swiping viciously in my direction, desperate to grab my throat and strangle the life out of me. But her fingertips couldn't quite reach.

Because right then, Ferris had his arms locked tightly around her waist, using all his strength to drag her away from me. "Calm down, stop making a scene."

Throughout the canteen, all our colleagues were stunned by the spectacle, practically paralyzed with shock. No one dared to move, let alone step in to help.

I stared at Zoey's twisted, deranged expression, completely frozen. My brain felt like it had short-circuited. I didn't try to dodge, I didn't try to fight back; I just stood there, staring blankly at her.

"Whoa, Dr. Zeller, what are you doing? If you're hungry, eat food. Dr. Hayes isn't lunch, why are you trying to rip her apart?" Even though I was the one most terrified, Amber acted like she was the one having a heart attack. She shielded me protectively behind her back, frowning and scolding Zoey.

Zoey's eyes were bloodshot. "I really do want to kill her, I want to rip her apart piece by piece!"

"Then you seriously need a psych evaluation, trying to eat people alive," Amber's eyes widened even further.

"You're the psycho! Your whole family are psychos!" That one comment pushed Zoey entirely over the edge. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Selena Hayes, you're the one to blame! You're the one who was supposed to die! Why... why should I have to suffer for you? I..."

"Oh my god, this is terrifying. Run, Selena, I'll hold her off!" Amber practically shoved me backwards, throwing her arms out wide to block the way. She yelled frantically at Ferris, "Dr. Sterling, hold onto her!"
