The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 821

Tiffany's question left me stumped.

I knew.

But I couldn't tell her.

If I did, my relationship with Tiffany would be over, and her current situation was far too delicate.

Her health hadn't completely recovered, and if we broke ties, I wasn't sure if anyone else would step up to take care of her.

After turning it over in my mind, I chose to keep the secret. "I only know that he's in trouble, but I don't know the specifics. The rumors I've heard might not be any more accurate than what you know."

"I still can't believe something like this would happen. Selena, do you believe it?" Tiffany lifted her head from my chest, her eyes red and puffy.

It broke my heart to see her like this.

I shook my head. "I can't believe it either."

And that was the truth. Even when Caspian had turned on me, I never could have imagined he was capable of kidnapping—especially kidnapping me.

"I don't believe Caspian would do something like that. Selena, I think they must have made a mistake," Tiffany said, wiping away her tears and pressing her lips together.

My heart twinged. I leaned down to help her wipe her tears and comforted her. "Alright, don't dwell on it. I promise you, no matter what happens, I'll stay by your side. You're not alone."

I wouldn't tell Tiffany any more details, nor did I want her digging deeper.

Regardless of what happened, I would stay with her and make sure she wasn't left alone.

My words successfully distracted her. She hugged me tight again, pressing her face against my chest. "Oh, Selena, you're the best. I knew you would never abandon me. I feel so safe when you're here."
