THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 616

Hearing this, Keira nodded and said, "Alright, you go then."

Amanda looked at Ann. "Ann, let's go."

"Okay, Mom." Ann stood up from her chair.

The two of them left Stuart's courtyard.

"Mom," Ann whispered, linking her arm through Amanda's, "when do you think he's going to finally die? Good thing you're smart and got me out of there. I was starving."

If they had stayed any longer, she would have starved to death before Stuart did.

Amanda's eyes narrowed. "From the looks of him, he won't last another two hours. Let's get some food quickly."

"Okay."

After they left, Keira sat by Stuart's bed and took his hand. "Stuart, Freya said you're all healed now. You just need to break through the fog and wake up."

"Please, wake up. Mom has been waiting for over twenty years."

"Carey is waiting for you to find her."

"Freya is waiting for you to wake up."

Stuart remained motionless.

"Stuart, my son, please don't make Mom worry anymore…" Her voice grew hoarse.

Stuart felt trapped in a dense fog. He searched and searched, but he couldn't find a way out.

"Where am I?"

"Carey! Freya!"

He wandered in circles until he finally sank to the ground in despair.

*Drip.*

At that moment, he felt a drop of liquid fall from above.

*Drip.*

Another one.

He scrambled to his feet and looked up, but the sky was just an endless gray haze.

Suddenly, a voice reached him.

"Stuart, Stuart, please wake up!"

His eyes widened.

"Mom! Mom, is that you?"

"Mom!" he shouted.

As his sister, Amanda would be overjoyed to see her brother awake. Keira was certain her daughter would be even more thrilled than she was.

"Yes, Madam."

The maid ran toward the kitchen as fast as she could. Just as she was about to reach it, she saw Amanda and Ann walking out with a tray of food.

She rushed up to them, gasping for breath. "Miss… Miss Amanda… Madam… told… me to…"

Seeing her state, Amanda and Ann exchanged a look of pure glee.

*Excellent! Stuart must be gone.*

Otherwise, the maid wouldn't be in such a hurry. After all this time, the day had finally come!

*Clatter!*

The tray fell from Amanda's hands. She grabbed the maid's arm, her voice urgent. "Is it Stuart? Did something happen to him?"

The maid nodded.

Seeing the nod, Amanda's excitement surged. She immediately put on a mask of grief and started to sob. "Stuart… he was so young! Freya said he was going to wake up today! How could he be gone?"

Ann was equally thrilled but put on a dramatic display of sorrow. "Uncle! You didn't even get a chance to see me and my mother! How could you just leave us?"

At a time like this, they had to appear heartbroken. No one could suspect a thing.

The maid finally caught her breath. "Miss Amanda, Miss Ann, you've misunderstood! The master is fine! He's woken up! Madam sent me to share the good news with you!"
