The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 663

A nurse from the lab?

Behind me, Caspian scoffed. "Amber, I want to place a bet too. I'm putting two hundred grand on myself."

"Oh no, you don't! If you do that, Dr. Cross, you'll dilute my profits. No way, I won't allow it," Amber flatly refused.

My heart, however, was sinking heavier by the second, a terrible feeling washing over me.

My intuition told me the lab nurse was just a front. That hundred grand likely belonged to Ferris.

But why a nurse from the lab?

The confirmation of my pregnancy had come straight from the lab...

Did Ferris already know?

The anxiety and unease I had painstakingly suppressed last night surged back up, a suffocating wave of panic tightening my chest.

Did Ferris know I was pregnant? Last night, did he refuse to let me drink because he was worried about my stomach, or because he knew about the baby?

These thoughts tormented me all day. When Lucille called me, my tone was less than pleasant. "Mom, I already told you to stop meddling in my relationship with Ferris. This divorce is happening."

"No, Selena. After I woke up this morning, my son-in-law talked with me for a long time. I could see he was sincere. He even said he was willing to make up for everything that happened in the past. Why don't you just give him one more chance? After all, you've loved him for so long." On the other end of the line, Lucille frantically tried to explain.
