The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 825

The moment I saw Lucille's name flash on the screen, my good mood evaporated.

Hearing her say Maxwell was in trouble made my pulse race with sudden panic. "What happened to him?"

I had been waiting for Maxwell to return to normal. I had crucial questions I needed to ask him. But even though he had woken up, he didn't recognize me, and his mental state had been deeply unstable lately. I had no choice but to drop the subject.

Now Lucille was telling me he was in trouble, and I was genuinely panicking.

Nothing could happen to Maxwell. That massive mystery was still unsolved.

Across the table, Ferris reached out and firmly covered my trembling hand with his own. With his free hand, he took the phone from me, his voice calm and soothing. "What exactly happened?"

Lucille explained the situation on the other end, and Ferris quickly replied, "Okay, just keep him contained. Selena and I will be right there."

He hung up and squeezed my hand before I could even ask. "Sabrina agitated him. His memory still hasn't fully recovered, and she triggered some sort of psychotic break. He was thrashing and throwing things all over his room. He doesn't even have the strength to stand, so he threw himself on the floor and was crawling toward the door."

"But didn't you make arrangements to ban Sabrina from the facility? How did she even get to him?" I asked in confusion as I followed him up from the table.

Ferris looked slightly apologetic. "That was my oversight. Sabrina herself never set foot inside, but she called him. She triggered his episode over the phone."

Over the phone?

Quick check to keep reading. It usually passes on its own.
