The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 112

He directed his last sentence toward Ferris, clearly making sure the Director heard it.

It made sense. Leon belonged to the Department of Neurosurgery, so even if The Iron Mask wanted to pin the blame on him, it ultimately depended on Ferris's stance.

In short, this medical dispute involved both departments. As my supervising mentor, The Iron Mask naturally didn't want me to take the fall alone—he was terrified of being implicated himself.

Ferris was a smart man and easily caught The Iron Mask's underlying implication. He cut straight to the point, "Then, in Dr. Logan's opinion, how should we resolve this?"

The Iron Mask looked troubled and shot a glance at the head nurse.

The head nurse glanced at Ferris before replying, "According to the patient and their family, they want Leon and Selena to go and offer a formal apology together. Only then will this matter..."

"That's impossible," Leon interrupted, his voice ringing with righteous indignation. "Everything happens for a reason. Dr. Hayes still has a lump on her forehead. 'Accidentally' doesn't cut it. Even in court, what we did counts as self-defense."

The smile froze on The Iron Mask's face, his eyes filled with a resentful frustration, as if he were looking at a protégé who refused to learn.

"I'll have to ask Dr. Logan to handle the patient's family for now," Ferris said, offering a rare polite phrase. "I will give you an answer tomorrow morning."

Soon, it was just the three of us left in the office, along with Zoey, who stood by the side pouring water for Leon and me.

The young woman maintained her sweet and obedient demeanor. As she handed me the water, she glanced at Ferris and gently advised, "Let's all just take a breath. The patient and their family are furious right now. Once they cool off, we can sit down and have a proper talk with them."

It seemed Zoey still didn't understand the core of the issue.

Leon pointed it out bluntly, "So Dr. Sterling also believes we should go apologize to the patient and their family?"

"It seems Dr. Lennox doesn't think he acted impulsively or let his personal feelings cloud his professional judgment?"
