THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 287

Keira was a bundle of nerves.

Really, truly anxious.

Over the years, Stuart had seen countless doctors—some of them world-renowned, decorated with prestigious international awards.

But every single one had told her the chances of her son waking up were almost nonexistent. Unless a miracle happened, he would remain as he was.

As a mother, Keira clung desperately to the hope that, one day, her son might open his eyes again.

Caitlin spoke up, her voice steady. “The reason my dad’s in a coma is mostly because of brain trauma. After his surgery, there was a window where he might have woken up. But he had mild hypertension, and with the severity of the brain damage, even a minor hemorrhage was enough to tip him into a coma.”

Keira’s brow furrowed deeply as she listened—her face clouded with worry.

Was her granddaughter implying that her son would never wake up?

But before despair could settle, Caitlin’s next words made Keira’s heart leap. “But don’t worry, Grandma. I’m about seventy percent sure I can bring Dad back.”

Hannah’s eyes widened in delight. “Are you serious, Freya? You really think you can wake your father?”

Stuart wasn’t her biological son, but he was her son-in-law—the man her daughter had married, the father of her granddaughter. As family, Hannah’s hopes were one with Keira’s.

She wanted nothing more than for Stuart to come back to them.

And maybe, with one more person back in the world, they’d have a better chance at finding Carey.

“It’s true,” Caitlin nodded, calm and confident.

Ann, however, was unable to hide the scorn in her eyes.

As expected—a naïve country bumpkin, making wild claims.

Stuart had lain in that bed for nineteen years. He’d been seen by more specialists than she could count. If he were ever going to wake up, it would’ve happened by now.

And Caitlin—just a green, barely grown girl—what did she know about medicine? The idea was laughable.

Amanda and Gavin exchanged a glance, both catching the same look of derision in each other’s eyes.

Of course they were skeptical.
