The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 716

I tried to see his face, but my vision was still swimming with dark spots.

The moment Julia's fingers left my throat, I gasped like a dying fish finally thrown back into the water.

The air rushed down my windpipe, burning my lungs. I squeezed my eyes shut, panting aggressively for oxygen.

Then I heard Julia's furious shriek: "Ferris, what are you doing here? Why are you here!"

Ferris?

Was that really Ferris?

I slowly forced my eyes open, and sure enough, a familiar face came into focus.

Dressed in a light grey suit with a thermos dangling from his hand, Ferris knelt beside me, his face etched with pure terror. "Selena, are you okay? I'm so sorry, I should have been more careful... Come on, let's get you to the hospital."

It really was him.

At that moment, Julia and I shared the exact same question: How did he end up here?

I had literally texted him to meet me at The Registry Office. Why was he at my apartment?

I still couldn't speak. My throat felt like it was on fire, so I weakly extended a trembling hand, hoping to grab onto his and haul myself up.
