The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 541

"Forget it. Let's not dwell on it. I'm just glad today's incident is over." I didn't want to overthink things anymore. With the state I was currently in, I simply didn't have the energy to spare.

I had to have been misled by Amber. There was no way Ferris Sterling would have actually scolded Zoey Zeller.

Even if he had, it would have been for her own good. His ultimate goal was always to protect her.

Amber hummed in agreement. "I just hope Dr. Sterling can keep Zoey on a tight leash. If she ever dares to try something like that again, I'm seriously going to throw hands!"

She gritted her teeth as she spoke, balling her hands into tight fists. Seeing her like that sent another wave of warmth through my chest.

She was just a petite, soft-spoken girl, yet in that moment of chaos, she had bravely shielded me without a second thought. She hadn't even considered the possibility that a manic Zoey might claw her face.

I wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Next time, no throwing hands. Just make sure you protect yourself first."

"Are you kidding? Selena, you're the absolute treasure of our department right now. Besides, if you got hurt, how on earth would I explain it to Dr. Lennox and Dr. Cross?" Amber blurted out.

I froze, caught off guard. "Explain what? Did they say something to you?"

"Well..." Amber started stammering, her eyes darting away guiltily, but she eventually caved and confessed. "They both treated me to lunch and asked me to look out for you."

That piece of information surprised me even more. "They asked you to look out for me?"

Amber scrambled to explain. "They both really like you! They both want to pursue you, Selena, and you know how it is. Leon is my buddy, and Caspian is my absolute idol. I'm totally caught in the middle! If I help Leon, then Caspian is left out in the cold. But if I help Caspian, I can't bear to see Leon heartbroken."
