The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 804

Out in the hallway, Jada was surprised and visibly resentful to see them emerge. "Lucille, if there's no room for Sabrina at your house, she can just spend the holidays at my place. My house is massive, and since I live alone, it's practically empty. I'll just spend the New Year with her."

Jada's family had moved abroad a long time ago. Unloved by her mother and ignored by her father since childhood, she had learned to live entirely on her own from a very young age.

She did own a luxurious penthouse back in the city, which was usually maintained by a housekeeper, and she stayed there alone whenever she returned.

This time, she must have flown back with Sabrina.

But before she could even finish her sentence, Lucille snapped at her, "Shut your mouth! We're talking as a family. What does this have to do with an outsider like you? I haven't even settled the score with you yet! Did you sneak Sabrina back here? Get out of my sight before I call the cops and have you arrested for kidnapping!"

"Kidnapping?" Jada's eyes widened in sheer disbelief. This time, her jaw dropped, completely stunned into silence.

Lucille was far too agitated. Jada's actions hardly amounted to kidnapping; at most, it was just being a bad influence on a young adult.

Ultimately, Jada stepped aside and stayed quiet. Lucille relentlessly dragged Sabrina away by the sleeve, storming off like a hurricane.

Ferris followed them out of the room but paused in his tracks. "Selena, don't come with us. Weren't you waiting for Maxwell to wake up? Stay here. I'll handle Sabrina's situation and come back to pick you up later."

I hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright."

Maxwell was still in his room with the medical staff. We couldn't all just leave; someone needed to stay behind to keep watch.

It made perfect sense for me to be the one to stay.

Ferris gently stroked my hair and pressed a soft kiss to my forehead before turning to leave.

The doorway, which had been chaotic and loud just moments ago, was now left with only Jada and me.

Jada had been completely bewildered by Lucille's vicious berating, but she seemed to have recovered somewhat and was about to chase after them.
