The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 686

My mind exploded into white noise, completely wiping out my ability to think.

Marcus was much more composed. He quickly yanked Amber back and muttered, "Don't talk nonsense."

"How am I talking nonsense? You see it too! Dr. Sterling obviously just woke up. His hair is a mess!" Amber stared at Marcus in shock.

Then she spun back to gape at Ferris. "Are you going to tell me that man isn't Dr. Sterling?"

This girl could be brilliantly sharp and highly emotionally intelligent at times, but at other moments, her brain completely short-circuited. Coupled with her stubborn streak, she was now genuinely trying to argue the facts with Marcus.

Yet the situation was beyond awkward. Standing in the doorway, I had absolutely no idea how to handle the catastrophe unfolding in front of me.

Marcus pressed his lips together uncomfortably, shot me a helpless look, and forcefully dragged Amber back toward the hall. "I don't know him... Baby, let's leave. We'll come back another day."

"How could you not know him? You run to our hospital every single day; Capital General is basically your second office! How can you not recognize our Director? That is the Director of Neurosurgery, Ferris Sterling!" Amber yelled, furrowing her brows in frustration.

Marcus furrowed his brows too, looking like he was one second away from tossing Amber over his shoulder and making a run for it. "Stop talking, babe. Just let's go home for now. Today... we were never here, and we saw absolutely nothing."

Marcus's last sentence was clearly meant for my ears. He was assuring me that both he and Amber would keep their mouths shut, guaranteeing that no gossip would spread through the hospital.

I had to admit, Marcus was incredibly mature and reliable. It was no wonder Amber was so deeply attached to him. He was exceptionally good at damage control.

My panicked heart finally settled a little after hearing his promise. The heaviest burden of worry vanished.
