The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 898

But a troubled expression washed over Amber's face. Her eyes darted away evasively, and her voice wavered. "Selena, right now, your health is the most important thing. Vivian called me. She was incredibly worried when she heard you fell, and she's rushing over here now. She specifically asked me to get you an ultrasound first.

"Let's go get that ultrasound done now."

She was talking about my mother-in-law. Amber had been my bridesmaid at our wedding, and Vivian had liked her so much that she saved her number.

Knowing Ferris and I had been in an accident, Lewis would have immediately informed Vivian. She had clearly called Amber to ensure someone was looking after me.

She was terrified for the baby.

An ultrasound was a painless procedure. Even though my stomach felt perfectly fine, I didn't mind getting one just to be safe.

But Amber's behavior was completely off. I furrowed my brow. "Amber, look me in the eye. Tell me exactly how Ferris is doing."

She kept trying to change the subject, refusing to give me a straight answer about his condition. It only deepened my terrifying suspicion that Ferris wasn't safe.

"Selena, please don't look at me like that, you're scaring me," Amber muttered, staring guiltily at the floor.

Finally, unable to hold out any longer, she confessed. "Okay, fine, I'll tell you. Dr. Sterling's leg surgery is done. It's a fracture, but nothing too severe. He just needs time to heal. It's just..."

"Just what?" The word 'just' was always the harbinger of disaster. My heart leaped into my throat as I demanded an answer.

Amber looked at me, her anxiety spiking. "But... he still hasn't woken up. They don't know what went wrong."

He hasn't woken up?

Those words slammed into my head like a boulder. I swayed violently, my vision fading to black.
