THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 615

Though she was silently cursing Keira, Ann's expression remained perfectly composed. She looked at her grandmother and said gently, "You're right, Grandma. Freya is our lucky star. Once Uncle wakes up, we'll be able to find Aunt Carey!"

Her words were exactly what Keira wanted to hear.

"Ann is right," Keira nodded. "I have a feeling we'll find Carey soon and our family will be whole again."

*Family reunion?* Amanda thought, a venomous look flashing in her eyes. *Even now, Keira is still dreaming her fairy tales. The only reunion they'll have is in the afterlife.*

How pathetic.

"Mother, don't just stand there," Amanda said, guiding Keira to a nearby chair. "Let's sit and chat while we wait for Stuart to wake up."

"Alright," Keira agreed.

Ann walked over to Caitlin, a saccharine smile on her face. "Freya, is there anything I can do to help? I don't know anything about medicine, but I can be your assistant."

Amanda immediately stood up and grabbed Ann's wrist. "Ann, you don't know what you're doing. Don't get in the way. You're not helping; you're just creating more work for Freya."

She wouldn't let her daughter get involved at this critical moment. Stuart was already half-dead. If Ann did something and Caitlin blamed her for his death, Ann would never be able to clear her name.

Ann caught on immediately. "You're right, you're right. What was I thinking? I'll just stand over here and stay out of Freya's way."

She quickly moved away from Caitlin, not wanting to be framed.

Caitlin continued with the acupuncture. The minutes ticked by. Ann and Amanda kept their eyes fixed on Stuart. He remained completely still, his breathing shallow.

An hour and a half passed. Caitlin finished her treatment, removing the last golden needle from Stuart's body.

But he hadn't changed at all. If anything, Amanda thought he looked even worse.
