THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 749

Caitlin was the only person Celia could think of. After all, it was Caitlin who had cured her of her debilitating condition. Without her, Celia would still be suffering from constant seizures.

*Freya?* The name cut through Mrs. Palmer's grief. She looked at Celia. "Freya? You mean Miss Freya Gonzales from Eldermere?" She remembered the brilliant young doctor who had saved her daughter. In gratitude, Mrs. Palmer had sent Caitlin a priceless sapphire. And with the recent Smith scandal, even ordinary citizens of Valerium had heard of the mysterious Miss Gonzales.

"Yes, that's her," Celia confirmed.

Mrs. Palmer wiped her tears. "But… Miss Gonzales isn't Dr. Oracle. What if… what if she can't cure Brock either?" Brock's affliction wasn't an ordinary illness; it was an ancient family curse. The Palmers were searching for Dr. Oracle because he had once successfully lifted a curse for a remote tribe. No one else could help them.

Celia's expression was resolute. "Mother, Dr. Oracle is a phantom. We've wasted too much time chasing him. If you truly want to save Brock, we have to try every possible option. We can't just sit here and wait for him to die." She took her mother's hands. "Brock doesn't have much time left. Please, let me ask Freya to come. What if she's the one who can save him?" Bringing Caitlin here would, at the very least, offer them a sliver of hope.

Mrs. Palmer closed her eyes, weighing her daughter's words. The doctors of Valerium were useless. If they didn't try something different, Brock would die, just like his brothers. She was a mother. She couldn't bear to watch all three of her sons be taken from her.

After a long moment, she opened her eyes. "Alright. Go to Eldermere. Bring Miss Gonzales back."

Hearing this, the doctors in the room began to mutter amongst themselves.
