The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 679

The twisted, vile faces of the kidnappers, laughing with malicious cruelty, surrounded me, attacking me all at once.

I couldn't even protect myself. Hugging my arms tightly, I was on the verge of completely breaking down. I wanted to scream, but the sound that left my throat was so faint even I couldn't hear it. "No, don't... don't kill them..."

The voices in my ears grew louder and more chaotic, pushing me further into despair. In the end, I couldn't make a sound at all, and my body was entirely paralyzed.

Hopelessness and helplessness drowned me completely.

The dark, damp coldness felt like thousands of tiny, black bugs crawling all over my skin, digging deep into my bones.

"Bang!" A loud crash finally shattered my trance.

That loud noise ironically saved me. My body could suddenly move again. I snapped my head up and saw a tall figure rushing into the room with the freezing wind, striding straight toward me.

He moved so fast that I barely registered his presence at first. It wasn't until he was standing right in front of me that I finally recognized his face. "Ferris, you—"

"Selena!" Before I could finish my sentence, I was enveloped in a broad, firm embrace. The familiar, clean scent of pine surrounded me, acting like a brilliant ray of sunlight that instantly eradicated the suffocating darkness clinging to me.

Ferris held me incredibly tight. I could hear his rapid breathing and the frantic pounding of his heart, along with his panic-stricken voice. "Don't be afraid, hubby is here. I'm here. No one is going to hurt you."

It was almost laughable. He was clearly a mess himself, yet here he was, trying to comfort me.

But miraculously, my heart began to settle. The terror and helplessness vanished the second his arms wrapped around me.
