The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 903

The deafening noise was coming from Ferris's heart monitor.

The sound was so jarring that I sprang up, instinctively trying to check his condition. But the moment I put weight on my legs, a blinding pain shot through my knee, sending me crashing heavily back down.

Nurses rushed into the room.

My wheelchair was shoved aside as more medical staff poured in, scrambling to handle the emergency.

I was still groggy from sleep, but my mind was already racing, a tangled knot of panic tightening in my chest.

What went wrong?

His heart rate? Oxygen saturation? Blood pressure?

Did I sleep too deeply and press down on his chest? Did I accidentally bump his IV?

I needed to see him. I needed to know exactly what was happening.

Driven by pure instinct, I forced myself out of the wheelchair and took a slow, agonized step toward his bed. Before I could make it, a hand grabbed me.

"Selena, what's wrong?" Sabrina's eyes were red, clearly having just woken up herself, with the imprint of her watch strap pressed into her cheek.

Snapping fully awake, she looked at me in shock. "Why are you standing? Doesn't your knee hurt?"

Of course it hurt, but I couldn't care less right now.

Before I could get a word out, she manhandled me back into the wheelchair, firmly pressing my shoulders down while trying to soothe me. "Don't panic, Selena. Ferris is strong. He'll be fine."

"Stop talking and push me over there! I need to see what's happening!" I yelled, tears of frustration stinging my eyes.

I was beyond terrified.
