The moment I heard my own voice, I couldn't help but cringe.
I should have been colder and more resolute.
How did my tone end up sounding so whiny and aggrieved?
Over the past two days, I hadn't felt aggrieved at all. I had simply been analyzing and verifying my suspicions, and I had already made my final decision.
I was going to divorce Ferris.
Our relationship had to end.
"Speak of the devil! You have impeccable timing, Director Sterling. Selena and I were just talking about you." Amber giggled, giving me a playful nudge. "Director Sterling has turned into the perfect, devoted husband. Even when you're hospitalized, he doesn't forget to bring you food. I wonder what delicious treats he brought. Ugh, I'm so jealous."
I had barely managed to force a serious expression onto my face, but Amber's dramatic sigh completely ruined my composure.
I nudged her with my elbow. "What are you jealous of? In the entire Department of Anesthesiology, no, all of Capital General, your boyfriend is the most considerate. He's the only one worthy of 'The Best Boyfriend' title. I wonder who gets sick of eating gourmet nutritional meals, fresh salads, and handmade snacks every single day. What on earth do you have to envy?"
Marcus Montgomery had always been great to Amber. After going through a rough patch and making up, the two of them were even more deeply in love.
Marcus was even more attentive than before. Our colleagues in the department always joked that Marcus had raised the bar for model boyfriends so high that the women in our department would be impossible to romance.
She was just joining the fun, deliberately teasing me and Ferris.
But she achieved her goal. At this point, I felt too awkward to give Ferris the cold shoulder.

Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
