The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 754

It was Vivian's voice.

I never expected my mother-in-law to visit me, let alone show up alongside Lucille.

They were exactly the same as always, bickering the moment they stepped foot into the room.

Lucille carried a thermal lunchbox and let out a huff. "Of course I know to be quiet in a hospital! I was just worried about my daughter, so my voice slipped."

She immediately placed the lunchbox on the table and rushed over to check on me. "How are you? Does it still hurt a lot?"

Her eyes turned red before she even finished her sentence. She grabbed my hand, her voice cracking. "Selena, I'm so sorry. I always say I'll take good care of you, but I always fail to protect you. The day before yesterday, that Julia woman almost stabbed you, and yesterday you were tricked and kidnapped. I really am getting old, my eyes are failing me. I actually thought that Caspian guy was decent, but it turns out he's an absolute bastard..."

It was obvious that Lucille was genuinely crying. She seemed to truly ache for what I had gone through and genuinely wanted to comfort me.

And I did feel wronged. I had genuinely treated Caspian as a good friend and trusted him completely, otherwise I never would have agreed to go to that concert with him.

I never could have imagined that he would be the one to attack me.

Let alone that his background was so incredibly complicated, with Theodore pulling the strings from the shadows.

But I still harbored deep resentment toward Lucille, and I instinctively tried to pull my hand away.

Ferris scoffed coldly from the side. "What was decent about Caspian? He always looked predatory. You could tell at a glance he wasn't a good person. Back when he first approached Selena and claimed he quit his job to follow her to Capital General, I knew his motives were entirely impure!"
