The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 685

Just then, a sudden vibration broke the silence.

It was my phone, which Ferris had tossed aside last night. The caller ID showed it was Amber.

Not wanting to disturb Ferris's sleep, I slipped out of bed quietly, grabbed the phone, and stepped out of the bedroom.

I closed the bedroom door before answering. "Amber, what's wrong?"

"Selena, hehe." Amber started giggling the second she got on the line, sounding absolutely giddy.

It made me wonder what was going on. "Why are you just giggling like a fool? What is it? Just tell me."

"Guess where I am?" Amber finally spoke up.

Given how ridiculously happy she sounded, I figured she had to be with her boyfriend. "You're with Marcus, right?"

"Haha, you're so smart, Selena! I am with Marcus, but I meant, guess where I am right now?" Her laugh grew even goofier.

It was an odd question. I didn't get what she meant, but before I could process it, a knock sounded at my apartment door.

Simultaneously, the exact same knocking sound echoed through the phone speaker.

Outside the front door, Amber's cheerful laugh rang out. "Selena, open the door! We're here."

She was right outside my apartment!

I was shocked. I hurried over and swung the door open. Amber was standing there grinning brightly at me, phone in hand. Right behind her stood Marcus in a gray overcoat, carrying bags in both hands with a polite smile on his face.

"Dr. Hayes, sorry for the sudden intrusion. I really appreciate you taking Amber in the other day and giving me the chance to patch things up with her. I've been meaning to thank you properly, and since we had the time today, we came by to express our gratitude."
