Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 352

[I never would’ve noticed if you hadn’t brought it up, but today, something just feels... wrong.]

[I seriously had no idea he left his number with someone here. And judging by how fast he showed up, I bet he paid off a nurse. Otherwise, there’s no way the hospital would’ve tipped him off without telling me first.]

[They got here only two minutes after I did. I keep thinking, if they’d arrived first, everything would’ve come out.]

[Thank goodness for you, Wiona. If you hadn’t helped, I don’t think we could’ve kept this quiet.]

Wiona texted back, [Relax. I just had a hunch he was up to something.]

[We’ll know the truth once we see how this plays out.]

Thankfully, Jace’s surgery was on a different floor.

If Wiona had run into Kellen again, that really would’ve pushed her over the edge.

They couldn’t stay glued to their phones for long, so after a bit, Summer made her way over to Bronwen and Wilson, checking in on them and making small talk.

Thankfully, the surgery didn’t last long.

Dr. Rodman came out, walking alongside the hospital bed.

He shook his head and let out a heavy sigh. “I’m sorry. We did everything we could.”

“Mr. Kutz is alive, but... his brain is gone.”

“From a medical point of view, he’s not really living anymore. He won’t ever wake up.”

“If you’re ready to let him go, we can take him off the ventilator whenever you decide.”

“Please, think this through.”

He looked straight at Summer.

Summer swayed, barely able to keep herself upright as the words hit her.

Wiona rushed to steady her. “Summer, hey, are you okay?”

With tears in her eyes, Summer grabbed Dr. Rodman’s arm. “There’s really nothing you can do? How could my dad just... stop responding like this?”

“Didn’t the last surgery go well?”

“I’ve been waiting for him to wake up all this time. How did things get so bad, so suddenly...?”

“This can’t be happening. It just can’t.”

Bronwen’s eyes filled with tears too, and her shoulders slumped.

Wilson wrapped an arm around her and looked at Dr. Rodman, his face tight with grief. “Seriously, what happened?”

“Cassian was getting better, wasn’t he? How did things go downhill so fast?”

Dr. Rodman said, “Looking at his vitals, it’s a brain infection.”

“It hit fast and hard. By the time we realized, there was nothing we could do.”

“If you want to know exactly why, we’d have to... do an autopsy. That’s the only way to get the full picture.”

The word “autopsy” hit Summer like a slap. She broke down and sobbed, her voice cracking. “No!”

“I can’t accept this!”

“I don’t believe my dad is just... gone. I don’t believe it!”

She cried so hard she fainted.
