The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 760

Ferris looked at his phone in momentary confusion before his eyes widened slightly.

It was a transfer notification.

I had just sent him ten thousand dollars.

"There, take it. Now you can leave!" I glared at him, my voice sharp. "Go back to your room and change your dressing!"

A slow smile spread across Ferris's face. He looked at me, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "Wife, I didn't realize you rated my services so highly. Ten grand is quite the tip."

Highly, my ass!

If he insisted on acting like an escort, I would treat him like one and pay him for his time.

I ground my teeth together and repeated my demand. "Go back to your room right now and change that dressing!"

If he didn't leave this instant, I was going to throw him out myself.

Ferris looked entirely too pleased with himself. He grabbed his phone and, just as he was leaving, pulled me into a sudden hug, pressing a kiss to my cheek. "Okay, honey. I'll come back and keep you company tonight."

"Don't you dare!" The words hissed through my teeth, completely devoid of any real threat.

Ferris didn't care in the slightest, strolling out the door with a self-satisfied smirk.

Once he was gone, I finally had a moment to collect myself. I pushed myself out of bed with a groan, washed up in the bathroom, and returned to find a fresh set of clothes resting on the mattress.

"Dr. Hayes, Director Sterling had these brought over," the nurse explained.

I picked up the stack, noticing a neatly folded pair of panties tucked right beneath the top jacket.

The sight instantly dragged my mind back to everything that had happened last night.
