The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 795

About me, and about Ferris.

I had wanted to ask these questions for a long time, but Maxwell had been comatose, making it impossible to get the truth.

Now that there was a chance he was waking up, I absolutely had to be there.

Ferris didn't try to stop me. Fifteen minutes later, we walked out the door together.

It felt like a panicked deer was thrashing around inside my chest, making it utterly impossible for me to sit still as I rode in the passenger seat next to him.

"It's okay, honey, don't worry. Your father's condition is stable. I performed an emergency surgery on him the night before last, so he's out of the woods now. Don't panic." Ferris reached over and grabbed my hand.

He thought my anxiety was because I was terrified for Maxwell's health.

But the truth was, I wasn't worried about his physical condition at all.

Maxwell was staying in the most luxurious VIP suite at the Greenwood Care Center, receiving gold-standard care from the best medical professionals in the city.

Nothing life-threatening was going to happen to him.

I was just nervous.

A nervous, desperate anticipation.

I desperately needed to know if Maxwell was finally awake, if he was lucid enough to communicate, and...

If he remembered what he had done.

"I'm okay." I shook my head at Ferris. "Weren't you with your father the night before last? Why did you end up at the Care Center?"
