THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 756

The castle was a place of overwhelming female energy.

Shirley sat down on the edge of the bed and smiled gently. "Madam, please relax. I'm just going to do a quick check-up."

"Alright," Flavia nodded.

"Can you tell me where you're feeling uncomfortable?" Shirley asked.

"My head hurts terribly," Flavia said. "It feels like something inside is trying to break free." It was a sensation she couldn't quite describe.

"I see," Shirley said soothingly. "Just lie back down and try to relax."

"Okay," Flavia agreed, settling back onto the pillows.

Shirley opened her medical bag, took out a small vial, and removed the cork stopper. She held it under Flavia's nose and waved it gently. A faint, sweet scent filled Flavia's nostrils. A moment later, she lost consciousness and drifted into a deep sleep.

The Dowager motioned to Shirley. "Come with me."

"Of course," Shirley replied, following the Dowager out of the room.

When Flavia awoke again, a maid was standing over her with a handful of colorful pills. "Madam, these are the medications Dr. Shirley prescribed for you. Please take them now."

"What's wrong with me?" Flavia asked, pressing her temples.

"Dr. Shirley said you're showing signs of schizophrenia and a type of hysteria," the maid explained. "She said it's crucial that you take your medication on time, or the consequences could be severe."

Schizophrenia? Hysteria?

Flavia frowned. So that was it. The strange dreams, her intense reaction to a name she'd never heard before… it was all because she was sick?

"Madam, please take your medicine before the water gets cold," the maid urged.

"Alright." Flavia came back to her senses and took the pills and glass of water, swallowing the five or six capsules in one go.

Once Flavia had taken her medicine, the maid returned to the front hall where the Dowager and Rosemary were chatting.

"Dowager."
