The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 570

Ferris told Caspian to watch his mouth.

I thought he was going to defend his precious darling and help Zoey save face.

Instead, he criticized Caspian for talking about Leon behind his back.

He wasn't defending Zoey, but standing up for Leon?

Did that even make sense?

I wasn't the only one surprised. Zoey was stunned too. She slowly turned to look at Ferris and murmured, "Ferris..."

"Alright, alright, we're all colleagues here. I won't trash the guy," Caspian said, recovering quickly from his brief shock. He clicked his tongue, raising an eyebrow. A mischievous glint danced in his predatory gaze as a faint smirk touched his lips. "After all, it's not like he's actually blind, right?"

It sounded like an apology and a concession, but it was still a veiled jab at Zoey. Caspian just wasn't being as direct as before.

Zoey's face turned livid. She glared viciously at Caspian.

Dr. Xavier quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Yes, yes, we're all colleagues. Let's keep the peace... Oh, by the way, Director Sterling, the hospital's annual evaluations are starting soon, right? I'm guessing the Department of Neurosurgery will take the top spot again this year."

"Not necessarily. The Department of Orthopedics has clearly leveled up under your leadership, Dr. Xavier. You might just take the title this year," Ferris replied, playing along with the change of subject.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, successfully derailing the previous conversation entirely.

The words Zoey had been about to say were completely stuffed back down her throat. Her complexion only grew paler with rage, her eyes locked on Caspian's face, unable to hide her fury.

Caspian's smirk only deepened. He smiled with a lazy, triumphant air, turning to ask me, "Selena, how about we grab some soup tonight? I know a place that makes an amazing hearty soup. We can have Spicy Creole Cuisine in a few days. Your stomach has been a bit sensitive lately, so you should eat something soothing and avoid spicy food for now."
