The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 892

"Selena is trying to bribe us into silence with milkshakes. Well, it worked. I'll take the mango," the head nurse said with a laugh.

"Can I have two? It's too hard to choose, I want both," Amber said, entirely defenseless against sweet treats.

I smiled and nodded. "Of course."

They quickly hurried off to the operating room to prep. I placed the order on my phone, adding a special note: *Prepare in an hour and a half.*

Once that was done, I habitually opened my phone's dialer, punched in the number I had memorized by heart, and tapped the call button once again.

*Beep...*

My brain froze for a second. That sound...

Then, the rhythmic dialing tone stopped. I abruptly lowered my phone and listened closely.

It was connecting.

The call actually went through.

And the line was open.

The Shadow Caller had finally turned his phone on today, and he even answered my call!

In that split second, my mind went completely blank. My fingertips trembled. I opened my mouth repeatedly, but it felt as if something was lodged in my throat, choking off my voice.

*Speak, Selena!*

Wasn't this what you always wanted? To find this mysterious stalker and tell him exactly what was on your mind? He had answered the phone; why weren't you saying anything?

"Hello..." I finally managed to force a sound out, but it trembled violently.

I gripped my phone tight, forcing myself to push the words out. "Leave the people around me alone. If you want to kill someone, come after me!"

I had sent this exact message countless times via text, and I knew he must have seen it. But now, on a live call, I had to say it out loud.
