The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 704

A bomb went off in my brain.

I was certain my expression perfectly mirrored Caspian's.

Shock, utter disbelief, and a profound suspicion that Ferris had either suffered a major head trauma or been replaced by an alien.

Why else would he do something so incredibly reckless?

He just exposed our marriage right in front of Caspian.

Did he forget that Caspian was our colleague now? Telling him meant throwing our secret out into the open.

The entire Capital General Hospital would know we were husband and wife.

Did he not care about his reputation anymore?

Almost by reflex, I reached up and slapped my hand over Ferris's mouth. "Ferris, what are you talking about? Who's your wife? Have you lost your mind?"

I quickly turned back to Caspian, my voice desperate. "Dr. Cross, please don't misunderstand. Director Sterling and I aren't like that. We don't..."

It was less of an explanation and more of a frantic cover-up.

A panicked, clumsy, and entirely unconvincing cover-up.

With Caspian's intelligence, my pathetic attempt at damage control shouldn't have fooled him for a second.

But surprisingly, he seemed to believe me.
