The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 568

After Leon left, Caspian took me to finish the rest of my exams.

"The results won't be ready until tomorrow. You two can come back and pick them up then," several of the doctors in different departments told us.

I hadn't expected to get all the results back on the same day anyway. Even if some were ready now, I wasn't going to barge back into the clinics to demand the doctors review them. That would be a huge waste of everyone's time.

I headed downstairs with Caspian, ready to go home. However, right at the elevator bank, we ran into Dr. Xavier again.

"Oh, hey, Selena, pass me the x-rays. I'll take a quick look for you now," Dr. Xavier offered enthusiastically, insisting on checking them right there.

Left with no choice, I handed over the scans. He held them up to the light of the elevator lobby and studied them for a moment before nodding. "Overall, there are no major issues. You just need to keep up with the physical therapy. The wrist is a joint we use constantly, and the best way for it to heal is to rest it as much as possible and limit its use."

He then turned his cheerful smile toward Caspian. "Good thing your boss is right here. You should ask him to lighten your workload."

"No need to ask. I'll rearrange the schedule so Dr. Hayes's wrists can heal properly," Caspian said, looking at me with a mixture of concern and guilt. "Selena, I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking earlier."

He was referring to the moment he and Leon had grabbed my wrists during their fight.

"It's fine. It really didn't hurt. Don't worry about it," I said, offering him a reassuring smile and a shake of my head.

But Caspian's guilt didn't fade.

So I added with a laugh, "Besides, if it weren't for those therapeutic wrist warmers you gave me, my wrists wouldn't have recovered this fast. I really should be thanking you, Dr. Cross."

I genuinely didn't care about him and Leon grabbing my wrists. They were both good friends who cared for me in practical, tangible ways. They had just gotten overly excited and caught up in their argument, momentarily forgetting to be careful.
