The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 97

Good friends? Learn from?

These were clearly positive words, but why did they suddenly sound so bitterly sarcastic?

Was Zoey trying to start trouble?

But why? We weren't in the same department, and she didn't know Ferris and I were married. Was it just because I had stolen the spotlight in the conference room?

She was usually so polite and sweet. Surely she wouldn't stoop that low, would she?

While I was puzzling over this, her crisp voice rang out from next door again. "Passion and friendliness are noble traits of us from Capital General. Just look at Dr. Evelyn Yates and Professor Rhodes—they're great friends. So I want to learn from Selena and broaden my horizons. We shouldn't hold prejudices just because someone works at a different hospital. Right, Ferris?"

So that was what she had been worried about.

"Of course, maintaining Capital General's reputation comes first."

Her voice gradually faded away. Judging by her cheerful tone, Ferris had more than likely successfully coaxed her.

He always had an extraordinary amount of patience for her.

But for me, the woman who shared his bed, there was nothing but suspicion and blame.

By the time the observation session ended, the sun was already setting. The organizers announced that the final event of the seminar would be a river cruise to enjoy the night view and local cuisine.

The evening temperature in Skye City was similar to that of Port Capital. I had a feeling my current physical state wouldn't handle it well, but since everyone else was going, I couldn't be the odd one out. So I followed the group onto the cruise ship.

They called it enjoying the river view, but a more accurate description would be watching Skye City's famous light show. It took place in the restaurant on the second floor, with free seating and grouping.
