THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1201

Even the director of their own hospital didn't have that kind of influence.

Louie shook his head. "Dr. Lowell, you've misunderstood. My wife and I know Mrs. Sylvester because she and my wife were college classmates. The only reason Mrs. Sylvester performed my wife's surgery was out of respect for their old friendship."

Louie had no desire to use Gertrude's relationship with Caitlin as a status symbol.

Besides, there were far too many people in the Capital eager to ride Caitlin's coattails.

What if someone found out about Gertrude and Caitlin's connection and tried to use him to get to Caitlin for a favor?

How could he refuse then?

Louie was a practical man. He knew he couldn't afford to cause Caitlin unnecessary trouble.

Dr. Lowell nodded, not thinking much more of it, and remarked, "Well, Miss Gonzales is certainly a loyal and honorable friend!"

"Mrs. Sylvester has always been a good person," Louie added.

Elsewhere, a few police officers stood guard in front of the ICU, their faces etched with frustration.

With Elsa, the prime suspect, in a coma, the case had hit a dead end.

More importantly, based on Louie's testimony, Elsa might be responsible for three other deaths.

Although their colleagues were already following that lead, they still needed Elsa's cooperation.

*Click, clack, click, clack...*

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hall.

Mr. Grover was the first to react, looking up.

He saw Director Barrett approaching with a young woman. She wore a white lab coat and carried herself with a striking presence, an air of authority that seemed to eclipse even the hospital director beside her. She also looked vaguely familiar, as if he'd seen her somewhere before.
