The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 706

Caspian quickly hung up the phone, but the smile had completely vanished from his handsome face, replaced by a heavy, anxious frown.

"What happened to Tiffany?" I was genuinely concerned about her. She wasn't just physically fragile right now; she was in a deeply vulnerable emotional state. I was terrified something had gone wrong.

Caspian forced a tight smile, trying to reassure me. "It's nothing major, Selena. Don't worry. I'll drop you at the station first, and then I'll go check on her."

"Actually, I don't feel like going to the station anymore. Let's head to the hospital instead," I said, changing my mind.

Caspian was incredibly perceptive. If he had planned this whole day just to make me happy, he would have prioritized my schedule—unless Tiffany's situation was serious. The tension in his posture betrayed his casual words.

Plus, he explicitly said he needed to rush back to the hospital immediately after dropping me off.

That alone proved whatever was happening with Tiffany was an emergency.

"But Selena, you said this was important and couldn't wait. Let me just take you there first," Caspian insisted, hesitating slightly but sticking to his original plan.

I frowned. "It's fine. My errand can wait. Let's go see Tiffany."

Filing a police report was crucial, but a human life mattered more. I considered both Caspian and Tiffany my friends now.

Especially after hearing Ferris reveal the brutal truth about my past earlier today, I cherished my real friends even more.

The family I had lived with for twenty years treated me like a disposable tool, played me for a fool, and leeched off me to feed their endless greed. Yet my friends had always gone out of their way to support me.

I couldn't just ignore a friend in crisis.
