The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 707

Before I could answer, she eagerly waved me over. "You're right on time! Come look! A show I filmed last year finally premiered, and my character just made her grand entrance today."

I hesitated for a second before walking over. "Let's see. What kind of role is our Tiffany playing?"

"The evil second female lead, obviously! It's my absolute favorite archetype. You have no idea how satisfying it is. Sure, getting killed off in the finale sucks, but you spend the entire rest of the show ruthlessly tormenting the male lead!" Tiffany looked incredibly smug.

So she was the villain. No wonder I had heard so much screaming from the hallway.

"Wait, doesn't the evil second lead usually target the female lead?" I asked, genuinely surprised.

"Why would I ever target the female lead? I love the female lead! My character exists strictly to make the male lead's life a living hell. Selena, doesn't that sound amazing?" Tiffany beamed, thoroughly entertained by herself.

It did sound pretty fun. I pulled up a chair next to her bed.

I glanced up at Caspian. He was frowning, looking both relieved and thoroughly confused. "Tiffany, you're fine? Nurse Winston just called and said you were doing terribly."

"Huh? I didn't ask Nurse Winston to call you..." Tiffany looked puzzled, offering a quick defense.

Caspian's frown deepened. "She must have misunderstood the situation."

So it was Nurse Winston who made the call. I had assumed Tiffany contacted him directly.

It made sense, though. While Tiffany kept a low profile, Sylvia Thorne certainly did not. She had spent enough time throwing her weight around the ward that the entire medical staff knew exactly who Tiffany was.

If anything happened to the Thorne Family heiress, the fallout would be catastrophic.

Nurse Winston was just being overly cautious, which was perfectly logical.
