THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 739

*Thud.*

Ivy hit the floor. The doctors and nurses stared, dumbfounded.

They were used to emotional reactions from families, but they'd never seen anyone faint from the stress before signing a single form.

"Ma'am! Ma'am, can you hear me? Wake up!"

Several nurses rushed to Ivy's side, trying to revive her, pinching the pressure point below her nose. But no matter what they did, Ivy remained completely unresponsive. There was no sign of her waking up.

"What do we do, Dr. Rossi? The family member is unconscious. We can't proceed with the surgery." Leo's condition was deteriorating by the second. But without a signature, the hospital's hands were tied. If something went wrong in the OR, the legal repercussions for both the hospital and the surgeon would be catastrophic.

Dr. Rossi rubbed his temples. "Get her to an ER bay for emergency treatment. The second she wakes up, have her sign the consent form."

"Right away," a nurse replied.

Ivy was lifted onto a stretcher and wheeled away, and Leo's surgery was put on hold.

Half an hour later, Dr. Rossi entered the ER bay. "Has she woken up yet?"

"Not yet," replied Dr. Sterling, who was standing by the bed.

"Okay," Dr. Sterling agreed.

Ivy was wheeled off to the MRI suite. With all the commotion, when she finally "woke up," two and a half hours had passed.

The young nurse beside her gasped in relief. "Ms. King, you're finally awake!"

Ivy grabbed the nurse's hand, her voice choked with fake tears. "My husband! How is he? How was the surgery?"

The nurse shook her head. "It hasn't started yet! We need you to sign the consent form. Please, come with me, quickly!"
