THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1111

"I will, Grandma, I promise," Gordon nodded with solemn gravity.

Hannah then turned her gaze to Stuart Gonzales. "Stuart, you and Carey, too. My Carey has suffered for over twenty years. I want the rest of her life to be as sweet as honey."

"Of course, Mom."

Hannah then looked toward Warren Richards and Jade Sinclair. "Warren, Jade."

"We're here, Mom," the couple said, immediately stepping forward.

Hannah grasped their hands. "Warren, Jade... They say the eldest brother steps in as a father. When I'm gone, you must take on that responsibility. Take good care of your younger siblings."

Warren nodded firmly. "Don't worry, Mom. I will shoulder the duties of an older brother."

"I will too," Jade added. "Mom, rest assured. Warren and I will never let the Richards family fall apart. No matter what happens, whenever our brothers and sisters come back, this will always be their home."

A smile of contentment spread across Hannah's face.

"Jade, you're a good child. I've always trusted you."

With that, Hannah looked at her other children. "My children, all of you, come here."

They immediately gathered around her bed.

Hannah's eyes, filled with a deep reluctance to leave, moved from one son and daughter-in-law to the next. "After I'm gone, you must all get along. The greatest joy of my life was having eight such wonderful children."

"No matter what, you are all my pride and joy…"

As she spoke, an overwhelming exhaustion began to settle over her. She knew her time was coming.

"Warren!" Hannah called out.

"What is it, Mom?" Warren rushed to her side.

Hannah summoned her last bit of strength to give one final instruction. "Quickly, take Kinny, Kincaid, March, Jasper, Silas, and Gemma away from here. I… I'm going. The last breath… it mustn't be inhaled by the children. It's not good for them."
