The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 921

That familiar smile, those familiar features, that deeply tender gaze, and the way he softly called my name.

It instantly brought tears to my eyes.

I raised my fist again, but I couldn't bring myself to hit him.

Ferris's gentle eyes completely melted my heart. I couldn't stop my tears. I buried my face in his neck, leaning against his shoulder as the floodgates opened, crying like a total mess.

A large hand rubbed my back. Ferris's voice was weak but incredibly soft. "Why are you crying? Don't cry, your eyes will hurt if they swell."

He actually asked why I was crying? Didn't he know the reason better than anyone?

I clutched the edge of his shirt and sobbed even harder.

Heaven knew that all my previous calm and strength had been an act. My relaxed demeanor was nothing but a facade. God knew how terrified I had been.

Terrified that something terrible had happened to Ferris.

Terrified that he would never wake up.

Terrified that I would lose him forever.

His waking up was the greatest surprise in the world, effortlessly shattering all my disguises and forced resilience. It allowed my vulnerability and tears to overflow like a breached dam, completely out of control.

How could I not cry? I simply couldn't control my emotions.

Ferris's tone grew even more helpless and doting. He cupped the back of my head, gently stroking my hair. "Alright, don't cry. Crying this hard will make people think I bullied you."
