The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 798

My sister Sabrina didn't act like she was my sister at all; she acted exactly like she was Ferris's sister. The way she clung to his arm and batted her eyelashes was entirely too intimate and natural.

There was zero sense of boundaries.

I stared at the deep dimples flashing on Sabrina's smiling face, a bitter, sour feeling churning violently in my chest.

My sister hadn't changed one bit. She still viewed me as utterly beneath her, practically non-existent, and leaped at every opportunity to publicly undermine me.

Beside us, the amused smirk on Jada's face suddenly vanished. Her expression darkened into an ugly scowl, her narrow eyes locked furiously on where Sabrina's hands were wrapped around Ferris's bicep.

"Sabrina, I think you forgot something incredibly important." Ferris didn't immediately shove her off. Instead, he looked down, his expression chillingly blank as he met her overly eager smile.

His voice wasn't raised, nor was it loaded with the sharp venom he'd used on Jada moments ago. But beneath the calm surface, it carried a terrifying, suffocating weight of authority.

The blinding smile instantly slid off Sabrina's face. She stiffened, slowly unhooking her hands from his arm. Her bubbly tone vanished, replaced by a nervous, tight voice. "Ferris, I'm sorry."

Ferris stared at her, utterly silent.

Sabrina swallowed hard, turning her head to finally look at me properly. "Selena."

Right. She finally decided I was worth looking at.

I was only here today to see Maxwell, and I absolutely refused to waste my energy on Sabrina, so I really didn't care about her blatant disrespect.

Honestly, the less I had to deal with her, the better. I gave a stiff, tiny nod. "You're back."

"Yeah. I flew in last night and came straight here to see the old man," Sabrina replied, her tone practically dripping with forced obedience.

I didn't want to talk to her anymore. I just gave a noncommittal hum and shifted my gaze past her into the hospital room.

"I'm here to see Maxwell. How is he doing?"
