The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 762

"I was just a little shaken up and got a few scrapes. I've rested for a whole day, and I feel fine. I'm perfectly capable of going home," I explained patiently.

During the kidnapping, Caspian and that heavyset guy had pulled my hair and kicked me a few times, but my injuries were superficial. It was mostly the psychological shock that took a toll, but after spending the night with Ferris, I felt remarkably grounded.

Leaving the hospital wouldn't be an issue.

Nurse Lynn remained completely serious. "Director Sterling specifically ordered you to stay a few more days. You're still recovering, and you cannot leave."

Ferris again. Was there a single aspect of my life this man didn't try to control?

I let out a frustrated sigh, knowing there was no point arguing with her. She was just following his overbearing orders.

I nodded in surrender. "Fine, I won't check out. But I'm going stir-crazy in this room, so I'm going for a walk."

She breathed a visible sigh of relief but immediately went back on high alert. "Where exactly are you going? Director Sterling also said I shouldn't let you—"

"Relax, I'm not leaving the building. I'm just wandering the halls. I promise I'll stay out of trouble," I cut her off smoothly.

That man could be absolutely freezing when he wanted to, but when he warmed up...

He wasn't just warm—he was incredibly nagging.

He had to micromanage every single detail, locking everything down if there was even a fraction of a percent chance of danger.

It felt less like being married and more like having an overprotective parent.

His meticulousness was touching, but it was suffocating at times, leaving me feeling constantly confined.
