The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 110

Take two days off.

Until the scandal blows over.

No wonder Ferris had suddenly brought up a full-body checkup. He was just trying to give me busywork so I'd vanish from the public eye.

"What about me? Should I take two days off too?"

Zoey voiced the very question I was burning to ask.

"No need," Ferris replied without hesitation. "The Department of Neurosurgery isn't afraid of trouble."

My nose burned. I dug my nails fiercely into my palms, terrified of making a single sound.

Looking at the IV tube taped to my hand, and remembering the careful way Ferris had held my IV pole just moments ago, I gritted my teeth and brutally yanked the needle out.

To everyone's shock, I showed up for the morning shift.

Seeing me with my clipboard, the head nurse rushed over, her face full of concern. "You fainted yesterday! Shouldn't you take a day off before coming back to work?"

"I'm fine. I'm tough," I joked, feigning ease. "Besides, if I take a day off, they'll dock my pay."

The head nurse shook her head helplessly. "Alright, but if you feel like you can't hold up, let me know. Do not push yourself."

I nodded lightly, then heard her drop some gossip. "Oh, by the way, that video from yesterday got taken down this morning. Did you see?"

I shook my head. Recalling the conversation between Ferris and Zoey, I was ninety percent sure he was the one behind it.

After all, it would protect his Little Mischief's reputation.

At that thought, I forced a stiff smile and told the head nurse, "Come on, let's go do rounds."

I was prepared to face the rumors, but sometimes, people's prejudice is far more terrifying than gossip.

Case in point: when checking on a Neurosurgery patient, her husband, who had somehow heard about my so-called exploits, vehemently refused to let me examine his wife, screaming for the hospital to switch doctors.
