The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 919

Who in their right mind loved working overtime on a holiday?

I knew Officer West was a dedicated cop. Her passion for justice was just like my devotion to medicine. I never minded a long shift if it meant saving another patient; the fulfillment was always worth the exhaustion.

But even I didn't get this giddy over working late. And I certainly didn't blush about it.

Wait a minute. Officer West wasn't just blushing—she looked downright infatuated.

The fiercely competent detective had momentarily vanished, replaced by a girl completely swept off her feet.

I looked at her flushed cheeks, the sparkle in her eyes, and that sickeningly sweet smile. Then, my mind flashed back to Officer Sutton's murderous expression when Wade harassed her, and the heavily bruised face Wade sported when Sutton brought him back.

Everything clicked. I glanced through the glass doors at Officer Sutton, who was furiously typing at his desk, and grinned. "Yeah, I bet you did."

"What do you mean?" Officer West asked, momentarily confused. Then she followed my gaze to Officer Sutton, and her face turned the color of a fire engine.

I smirked playfully. "He's a good man. Very dependable."

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, Dr. Hayes," Officer West stammered, awkwardly staring at her boots.

"Oh, I'm just rambling. But I'm pretty sure you catch my drift," I teased, giving her a very deliberate wink.

Officer West's ears turned scarlet. She bit her lip, completely at a loss for words.
