The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 619

Just then, Ferris's voice resonated from the stage. "As the department director, I feel deeply apologetic for the recent events that occurred in my department. To the colleagues who were negatively impacted by this situation, I offer my sincerest apologies. Moving forward, I will be far more vigilant to ensure such incidents never happen again."

"Apologizing? Who is he apologizing to? Selena, do you think he was directing that at you? Everyone else involved is either in jail or suspended. You're the only one left sitting here," Amber whispered directly into my ear.

But I refused to look up. I didn't know why, but I was suddenly terrified of making eye contact with Ferris. I could feel the bizarre, dangerous assumptions clawing their way back up from the depths of my mind, and I was losing the strength to push them down.

Were the things Ferris said last night actually true? Had he really done all of this for me?

If he had... what was my next move?

A few days ago, my self-imposed ultimatum was to wait two days and see how the situation played out. Now that the results were in...

What was I supposed to do about the baby in my stomach?

I didn't want my thoughts spiraling into chaos again. Trying desperately to suppress the restless thumping in my chest, I nudged Amber. "Stop talking nonsense."

The meeting wrapped up quickly, and the staff flooded out of the room.

I glanced back at the stage, but Ferris's seat was already empty. By the time I walked out into the corridor, I spotted his figure far in the distance, walking alongside Dean Davidson, deep in conversation. They quickly turned a corner and vanished from sight.

I silently pulled my gaze away.

I headed back to the department with Amber. My next surgery was starting soon, so we prepped together and hurriedly scrubbing in for a cardiology surgery.
