The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 924

"Mom, you definitely haven't eaten either. Sit down and eat with us," I said, taking the plates and arranging them on the small table.

While Vivian laid out the food, I went to the washroom to freshen up. When I came back out, I noticed her eyes were red. "My poor Ferris is suffering so much... he can't even eat real food..."

"Mom, don't scare yourself. I'm a doctor; don't I know my own condition? It's just for a couple of days. I'll be eating whatever I want soon enough. Don't make it sound so dire," Ferris cut in before she could start crying.

He made it sound incredibly casual, but Vivian's eyes only grew redder. "You were in a coma for three days. You practically scared me to death. If you hadn't woken up, I wouldn't have known how to live the rest of my life."

"If I didn't wake up, you could just bury me and hurry up to have another baby with Dad while you still can," Ferris quipped, raising an eyebrow mischievously.

That single sentence made Vivian, whose tears had already started falling, burst into a tearful laugh. She slapped his shoulder. "What kind of nonsense is that? Look how old we are, having another baby."

"You're in the prime of your life, not old at all. Besides, medical technology is so advanced now, anything is possible." Ferris took the slap but his smile deepened. "Just don't stop at one this time. Figure out a way to have twins. It'll be festive."

"You're getting more ridiculous by the second," Vivian rolled her eyes, huffing in annoyance. "Stop talking nonsense and eat your food."

Ferris reached out and wiped the tears from her face, coaxing her with a smile. "You're right, Mom. We won't talk nonsense. Eating is what's important. I'm already awake, so don't shed any more tears for me, okay?"

Vivian managed to stop crying. Turning to see me walk out, she reached out and grabbed my hand. "The one who suffered the most these past two days is your wife. She barely slept, and look how much weight she's lost. It breaks my heart. Selena, come sit down. Eat up."

"Come, honey, let me feed you," Ferris said, taking my hand and actually trying to feed me.

He was the patient here. What did he mean, feed me? He was being utterly absurd.
