The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 896

I had anticipated as much, but hearing Amber confirm it still felt like a giant, invisible hand was squeezing my heart. The pain and dread intensified.

Although the white van wasn't massive, it had been traveling at a terrifying speed. Ferris had been thrown through the air. His injuries had to be severe.

He definitely had broken bones.

Desperate to see him, I pulled away from Amber's grasp and tried to slide off the bed. "Which... which operating room is he in? I'm going to see him."

I wanted to stand vigil. I wanted to be the first thing he saw when the doors opened.

Amber tried to stop me. "Selena, you can't walk right now. You need to rest here. I'll go check on Dr. Sterling for you, and the second he's out, I'll tell you. Okay?"

"No, I'm going myself." I was adamant about seeing him immediately. I wanted to guard him personally.

Amber looked helpless and tried to argue again.

Just then, a deep voice echoed from the ER doorway. "Excuse me, are you a family member of the victim?"

I whipped my head around to see a police officer standing there. Behind him stood a middle-aged man covered in dirt, his face pale and twisted in anxiety. He was furiously wiping the sweat off his forehead, looking at me with immense apprehension.

I recognized him instantly. This dirty, frantic man was the driver of the white van that had hit Ferris.

I nodded immediately. "I am."
