THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1051

Hearing Professor Walsh's explanation, Raven nodded and smiled. "Oh, I see. Thank you so much, Professor Walsh! You've really thought of everything."

Padgett replied, "You're too kind, Ms. Raven. It's my duty."

What doctor doesn't want their patient to recover as quickly as possible?

Padgett continued, "Ms. Raven, Dr. Lynn will be here at two this afternoon. You should get ready. Asa and I will be leaving now."

"Okay," Raven nodded, walking Padgett and his assistant, Asa, to the door.

She didn't close it until their figures had vanished down the hall.

Inside the elevator, Asa asked curiously, "Professor Walsh, why do you think Dr. Lynn suddenly agreed to this?"

Just three days ago, Dr. Lynn had flatly refused Padgett's request.

Even Padgett himself had thought it was a lost cause.

But unexpectedly…

Today, she suddenly agreed.

And it was Dr. Lynn who had initiated the contact with Padgett.

It all struck Asa as a little strange.

Padgett's eyes narrowed slightly. "A doctor's heart is a compassionate one. Dr. Lynn is no different."

The assistant nodded and didn't press the matter further.

At two in the afternoon, Dr. Lynn arrived at the recovery center right on time to examine Raven.

Raven removed her mask, her nerves palpable as she sat across from the renowned surgeon.

Dr. Lynn studied Raven's face carefully, her brow furrowed in concentration.

Already on edge, Raven grew even more anxious seeing Dr. Lynn's serious expression. "Dr. Lynn, is my condition very severe?"

"It is quite severe," Dr. Lynn confirmed with a nod. "Although the initial treatment was timely, the toxins have settled deep into your facial tissues."

Raven's heart sank. "Then… is there any hope for me to recover?"

"There is, but the risks are substantial. I can only offer a fifty percent chance of success."

A fifty percent chance…

"If the surgery fails, what are the risks?" Raven asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"If the surgery fails, you will be left permanently quadriplegic. Therefore, before the procedure, you and your family must sign risk acknowledgement and consent forms."

Quadriplegic!

At that word, the color drained from Raven's face.

Disfigurement was already terrifying.

But to be paralyzed, unable to do anything, confined to a bed…

It was a horrifying thought.

Before Raven could fully process it, Dr. Lynn continued, "However, if the surgery is successful, combined with a prosthetic eye, I can guarantee that your appearance will be restored to how it was before the incident."

Restored to how she was before?

Raven's eyes lit up again.

She had been undergoing treatment for half a year, and Professor Walsh had only ever promised to do his best to restore her features, never that she could look exactly the same as before.
