The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 569

"Well, isn't this a coincidence? Running into you again, Selena." The moment Zoey saw me, a flash of surprise and deep-seated hatred crossed her eyes, though she quickly masked it behind a thick layer of fake smiles.

It really was a coincidence. I guess enemies truly are bound to cross paths.

I twitched my lips but remained silent, my gaze shifting to Ferris standing beside her.

Right at that moment, Ferris's eyes were fixed on me—or, more specifically, on the therapeutic wrist warmers I was holding.

But he instantly looked away, acting as if he hadn't noticed them at all.

"It is quite a coincidence. Are you all done with your exams, Dr. Zeller?" Dr. Xavier, always the first to greet people, stepped into the elevator and waved at me and Caspian. "There's plenty of room. Come on in, Dr. Hayes, Dr. Cross."

"The air in here feels a bit stale. We'll wait for the next one," Caspian said immediately, glancing at my face.

Considering the unpleasant run-in I had just had with Zoey, he was taking my feelings into account, worried I might feel uncomfortable, and took the initiative to decline sharing an elevator with her.

But before he could even finish his sentence, I had already answered Dr. Xavier. "Sure, we'll head in."

Caspian froze, giving me a strange look, but he didn't say anything as he followed me inside.

The elevator doors closed, sealing us in the cramped, quiet space. The silence was so heavy it felt eerie.

I stood right next to Caspian, my gaze quietly fixed on Ferris's face opposite me, desperately trying to catch any slip of emotion.

But he kept his eyes lowered, his expression completely blank, refusing to look at me.
