The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 562

The requisition form Caspian snatched was the one Dr. Xavier had prepared for me in advance.

The only reason Dr. Xavier was still in the clinic after his shift ended was to wait for me. He had printed the form early and left it right there on the desk.

Caspian simply grabbed it and dragged me away by the wrist, completely ignoring the increasingly ugly expression on Leon's face beside me.

Like Dr. Xavier, I was caught off guard. Dr. Xavier hadn't even processed what was happening before the paper was swiped from his desk.

I barely had time to react before Caspian was forcefully dragging me out.

"Wait a minute." Just as Caspian was about to pull me out of the clinic, someone grabbed my other wrist.

Leon held onto my hand tightly. His normally gentle and amicable eyes were now locked fiercely on Caspian's face, brimming with dissatisfaction and anger, his brows knitted tightly together. "Caspian, what the hell are you doing?"

"Can't you tell? I'm taking Selena for her checkup." Forced to stop, Caspian turned to meet Leon's furious glare. His eyes narrowed slightly, showing no intention of backing down.

"I brought Selena here, and I made the arrangements with Dr. Xavier. I'll take her for the checkup. I don't need you overstepping your bounds!" Leon's gaze was sharp, his breathing growing heavy.

Caspian didn't look bothered in the slightest. His lips curved into a wicked smirk. "You've got quite the attitude, Mr. Lennox. If someone didn't know better, they'd think Selena was your personal property, to be dragged around at your whim, expected to obey your every command."

Even though he said it with a smile, the attack behind his words was no less potent than Leon's hostility.

Sure enough, the remark sent Leon's temper soaring. I could literally feel the anger rolling off him, as the hand gripping mine trembled. His voice dropped to a heavy, furious pitch. "Selena is a person, not an object. I have never done anything against her will. You, on the other hand—did you even bother to ask how she felt before dragging her off for a checkup? Does she even want you to go with her?"
