THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1198

All Louie could think now was that he hadn't untied the ropes fast enough. If he had been just a little bit quicker, Elsa would never have had the chance to hurt Gertrude.

It was his fault. All his fault.

"Sir, please get up," Dr. Lowell said, helping Louie to his feet. He continued, "Actually... there's still some hope for your wife."

Louie's eyes instantly lit up. "Really? Doctor, you have a way to save my wife?"

Dr. Lowell explained, "Dr. Oracle is also in The Capital. If you can get her here, she can definitely save your wife."

Dr. Oracle? Caitlin!

When Caitlin married Gordon Sylvester, all her secret identities were revealed. Everyone knew now that Gordon's wife, Caitlin Gonzales, was the world-renowned Dr. Oracle.

Since Gertrude had been hurt, Louie had been in a daze, completely forgetting that Gertrude had such an incredible friend like Caitlin.

"Yes, Mrs. Sylvester, there's Mrs. Sylvester!" Louie was overjoyed. "My wife knows Mrs. Sylvester. I'll contact her right now. I'm sure she'll save my wife."

Dr. Lowell was taken aback. He looked at Louie, thinking the man's grief must be causing him to hallucinate.

Gertrude knew Caitlin? How was that possible? They were from two different worlds.

Caitlin was just wrapping up an important meeting when her assistant hurried over. "Miss Gonzales, you have a call!"

"Who is it?" Caitlin asked.

"It's a Mr. Cartwright," the assistant replied.

The only Mr. Cartwright the assistant would know was Louie.

Hearing the name, Caitlin's brow furrowed. A sense of unease washed over her.

She and Louie had no regular contact. They weren't even friends on WhatsApp. For him to be calling her so suddenly... could something have happened to Gertrude?

"Louie, I'm in the car now. I should be at the hospital in about thirty minutes. Tell me what happened."

Louie's voice was choked with tears. "Elsa... it was Elsa... She disguised herself as a cleaner to get into our house... Gertrude and I had no idea. She knocked us out with some chemical..."

Caitlin's frown deepened.

At first, she'd only worried Elsa might go after the kids, since they were the easiest targets.

She never imagined Elsa would be so depraved as to attack Gertrude.

Thirty minutes later, the car pulled up to the hospital entrance. Caitlin got out and ran inside.

Louie was waiting by the door. Seeing Caitlin, he rushed to meet her, his eyes red-rimmed. "Mrs. Sylvester, Gertrude... Gertrude's in the ICU now. The doctors say she's in critical condition and could... could die at any moment..."

Caitlin cut straight to the point. "Take me to Gertrude's doctor. Now."
