The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 610

"I'm sorry, Selena. I let you get hurt."

"Thank god it wasn't you who suffered the worst of it."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to ever make up for my negligence. I would probably live the rest of my life in regret."

"Even though I'm already consumed by regret right now. I'm so sorry, Selena. I'm sorry."

Ferris's embrace was sudden. He held me so tightly that it felt as if he was trying to press me right into his chest.

His low, hoarse voice fell by my ear, rushing out those desperate words, but my mind was completely blank. Aside from absolute shock, I was left utterly confused.

My brain had stopped working. I had no idea what Ferris was talking about.

I understood every single word he said, but strung together, they made zero sense to me.

Wasn't he here for Zoey? Why was he apologizing to me?

Thank god it wasn't me who suffered the worst of it?

How could words like that come out of his mouth? In my imagination, he should have been pointing a finger in my face, screaming at me, demanding to know why I wasn't the one who got ruined.

Regret?

If Ferris was capable of feeling regret, that regret would only be directed at Zoey. He would be regretting that he let the young girl get hurt. How could he possibly feel regret for me?

Had he lost his mind?

Or was he just playing his old tricks, using the emotional card to manipulate me into getting what he wanted?

I finally snapped out of my shocked daze. Struggling against his iron grip, I grabbed the edge of his shirt and used all my strength to peel his body off of mine.
