The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 818

Ferris's response surprised me. I had assumed he would jump on Lucille's suggestion and use the opportunity to convince me to stay home and rest, but instead, he was honoring my wishes.

My job was incredibly important to me. I genuinely loved what I did and had zero intention of quitting just because I was pregnant.

After all, getting into Capital General Hospital had taken an enormous amount of hard work, and I wasn't willing to just throw it all away.

"Selena, I am so incredibly happy to hear that you're pregnant. The Sterling family is growing, and that's the one thing your father and I have wanted most," Vivian said, both she and my father-in-law beaming with joy. They whispered to each other briefly before she spoke again.

Her tone turned pleading. "Selena, we're worried about your health, and we really hope you'll consider staying home to rest safely during the pregnancy."

Compared to her past behavior, this was an exceptionally delicate way of phrasing it.

But it still put me in a tough spot.

I understood where they were coming from. They were genuinely concerned for me and already adored the baby growing inside me.

But I absolutely refused to sacrifice my career.

Once again, Ferris stepped in. "Don't put pressure on Selena. I've already made the call. She's going to keep working. I'll handle things at the hospital to make sure she isn't overworked. Plus, I'm right there with her. If anything happens, I can take care of it immediately, so there's no need for you to worry."

With Ferris laying down the law, his parents didn't argue further.

Lucille, however, subtly tugged at my sleeve. "Selena, no matter how important your job is, it's not more important than your health. Your department is so chaotic, you can never be too careful. Health should always come first, don't you agree?"

"I know what I'm doing. You really don't need to worry about it," I shot back coldly, not even bothering to look at her.
