The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 925

I really was struggling to hold back a smile, but I quickly darkened my expression. "Who's joking around with you?"

"You're my darling wife. Of course I'm going to smile at you," Ferris said gently, pulling me close with a grin.

I shoved him away with my elbow. "Who asked you to smile? Wipe that smirk off your face."

Thinking about what he had done brought all my emotions rushing back. It felt like a knife twisting in my chest, making my organs ache so badly I could barely breathe.

The pain was so intense that tears welled in my eyes against my will.

"Ugh," Ferris let out a sharp breath.

Even though I was slender, it was still an elbow strike, and he was a patient at his absolute weakest right now.

Terrified that I had actually hurt him, I immediately spun around to check on him.

Ferris's face was pale, but he gently caught my hand, stopping my frantic inspection. His voice was low and soft. "Darling, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly mad at me? If I did something wrong, just tell me. Don't be mad, okay?"

Of course I was angry, but more than that, my heart ached for him.

Especially when he held me like this, speaking so tenderly. My heart melted into a puddle. How could I bear to stay mad at him?

I looked at him, and the moment I opened my mouth, my vision blurred. "Officer Sutton told me everything you arranged. How could you take such a massive risk? You deliberately let them hurt you?"

Yes, that was what I had been furious about.
