THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1199

"Okay!" Louie nodded.

The two of them hurried down the hall and arrived at the doctor's office moments later.

Louie burst in excitedly. "Dr. Lowell! Dr. Lowell! I brought Dr. Oracle!"

Dr. Lowell was on the phone. Hearing Louie's voice, he turned slightly, then his eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at Caitlin and stammered, "M-M-Miss Gonzales."

Gertrude's condition was critical; they had issued several code blue warnings during her surgery. When Louie had claimed he and his wife knew Caitlin and could get her to operate, Dr. Lowell had assumed he was bluffing.

It was nothing personal. It was just that Louie and Gertrude were so... ordinary.

How could people like them be friends with someone like Caitlin?

But he was wrong. It was true. Louie had actually brought Caitlin here.

"What's my friend's condition?" Caitlin asked.

Dr. Lowell was so stunned he could barely speak. He fumbled with a file on his desk, stammering, "Th-this is her chart and test results. P-p-please, take a look."

Caitlin took the file and began to review the reports, her expression growing more serious with each page she turned.

Although Elsa had only stabbed her once, Gertrude's spleen had been severely damaged. She was bleeding internally, and while the initial surgery had stopped the worst of it, there was still a significant amount of blood in her abdominal cavity that they couldn't drain. Her life was in imminent danger.

"Prep an OR for me. Now," Caitlin said after assessing the situation.

"Of course, Miss Gonzales!" Dr. Lowell nodded. "I'll get it ready immediately."

Hearing Caitlin's decisive words, Louie finally felt a wave of relief. He looked at her, his eyes filled with hope. "Mrs. Sylvester, Gertrude... she's going to be okay, right?"

"Yes, she'll be okay," Caitlin said with a slight nod, then turned to Louie. "Just wait for us out here."
