The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 567

It was my fault for standing in the wrong place and crowding his precious darling.

He was so terrified of his little girl misunderstanding our relationship that he had to emphasize once again that he had no interest in me, and that no one should ever link us together.

No interest!

"Oh, come now, it's not Dr. Hayes's fault. The door to my clinic is just too narrow. I'll put in a request with Dean Davidson tomorrow to have it widened. Go on and get your checkup done, Dr. Hayes; Nurse Willow is waiting for you," Dr. Xavier, who had been functioning as part of the background furniture, couldn't take it anymore and hurried over to smooth things over.

"Alright. I'll leave right away so I don't get in Dr. Zeller's way." I clenched my fingers, forcing down the turbulent emotions in my chest. Without another word, I turned on my heel and walked away.

But after taking only two steps, I froze, abruptly turning around to deliver a cold parting shot. "By the way, Dr. Zeller, I need to make one thing absolutely clear. I have zero interest in Director Sterling either, so please don't drag me into this again. I am not a pawn in whatever little romantic games you two are playing."

With that, I marched off.

"Exactly! Selena has no interest in Ferris either! Watch your mouth in the future, Dr. Zeller. Slander is a crime!"

"Stay away from my Selena! Selena, wait for me!"

Behind me, I heard the sound of Caspian and Leon scrambling to catch up.

I didn't look back, but I could feel a burning gaze boring into my spine.

I quickened my pace, practically breaking into a jog just to escape the oppressive weight of that stare.
