The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 750

Caspian remained in the driver's seat, his face shadowed with grief. He looked as if he had suffered a devastating blow, radiating an aura of total defeat.

It wasn't until I looked at him that he seemed to sense my gaze, lifting his head to meet my eyes.

A glimmer of hope sparked in those narrow, predatory eyes. "Selena, have you changed your mind? It's not too late to back out. I can still save your life. You can be with me, and we can live a good life together in this world."

"You're still not giving up, even now? Give it a rest, Cas. I already gave you a chance because you took a beating for me and begged me relentlessly. You know our dad gave a direct order—this woman has to die!" The stout man stopped in his tracks.

His tone dripped with mockery. "Stop making a fuss. She's not into you. It's a lost cause."

"No, Dominic. Selena didn't reject me. She never said she didn't want this. Just... give me one more chance, please," Caspian pleaded, bursting out of the car and shoving Dominic's hand away.

He crouched down to my eye level and reached out to rub my head. "Selena, Dominic is too rough. Did he hurt you just now? Let me rub it for you, okay?"

In truth, I couldn't feel any pain.

I was entirely consumed by a much greater shock as I tried to piece together Caspian's true identity.

That stout man had just mentioned "our dad," and Caspian had called him Dominic. It meant they were brothers.

But as far as I knew, the Cross family only had two sons. Caspian only had one older brother. Where did this Dominic come from?

Furthermore, while the Thorne and Cross families had always been close, it was the Thorne family that had been targeted and thrown into chaos lately. Ferris had aimed his sights directly at the Thornes, and it was the Thornes who were taking the hits. The one suffering the most right now should be the head of the Thorne family, Theodore Thorne.
