The Divorce Prescription

Hailey was overjoyed. She knew Celine would find a way to deal with that fraud, Carly.

Just thinking about how Carly had spent years pretending to be Celine, enjoying the privileges that weren't hers, made Hailey furious.

The day Carly was exposed was going to be spectacular, but...

Looking at Celine, Hailey asked, "Celine, what about Adam? What do you plan to do about him?"

Adam still had no idea that the girl who saved him all those years ago was actually Celine. When he finally found out, how would he react, and what would Celine do then?

Celine said softly, "Hailey, I'm tired. Loving Adam all these years has exhausted me."

She was ready to leave. She had never truly belonged here. She had only come because of Adam. Now, it was time for her to go.

"Celine, Adam was deceived by Carly all this time. He was blind to the truth, but he's a victim too. He didn't know it was you," Hailey said, trying to defend Adam. Deep down, she still hoped Celine and Adam could work things out.

However, Celine didn't want to continue the conversation. "Hailey, let's not talk about this anymore."

Resigned, Hailey responded, "Alright then. You should get some rest for now." Celine lay down and closed her eyes.

After Adam returned to Carly's ward, Carly asked nervously, "Adam, what did Celine say to you?"

Adam didn't answer.

Carly immediately said, "Did she badmouth me again, or did she try to seduce you? That woman is nothing but trouble. You need to stay away from her."

Lucy chimed in, "Celine is vengeful, manipulative, and knows exactly how to deceive people. Mr. Alvarez, don't let her innocent face fool you."

Adam lifted his gaze, his eyes cool as they swept over the two of them. Then, he said, "Celine agreed to perform Carly's heart surgery."

Wait, what?

Carly and Lucy sprang up, their faces lighting with excitement. "Really, Adam? Celine agreed to do the surgery?"noveldrama

Adam nodded and replied, "Yes, she did."

Lucy said, "This is amazing! Carly, you're going to be okay. Celine finally agreed to the surgery."

Carly nodded as she said, "I'm finally going to be healthy. o more heart disease holding me back."

Looking at them, Adam asked, "Weren't you both just badmouthing Celine? What happened to all that?"

Carly was stunned. The memory of

their harsh words against Celine flashed through her mind, and an

awkward smile tugged at her lips as she scrambled for an excuse. "Adam, I-"

He didn't want to hear her explanation. "Go get some rest. I'll get going first." With that, he left.

Carly called out, "Adam, wait! You said you'd stay with me... Adam? Adam!"

This time, her pleas wouldn't work. He was already gone.

Carly was very disappointed. "Mom, what's wrong with Adam? Why is he so cold toward me?"

However, Lucy was beaming. "Carly, don't overthink it. Mr. Alvarez loves you, and there's no doubt about that. If it weren't for him pressuring Celine, she would've never agreed to the surgery."

Carly's mood instantly lifted. "You're right! I'm sure Adam loves me. Once I

recover, no one will have the chance to manipulate me again!"

Lucy responded, "Exactly!

Remember, Mr. Alvarez promised that once you're fully recovered, he'll marry you. Then, you'll give him a few children, and your life as a wealthy, high-society wife will begin. Luxury, status... You'll have it all!"

Carly and Lucy were already dreaming about the future, lost in their excitement.

Carly beamed as she remarked, "I can't wait. Now, all that's left is for Celine to perform my surgery!"
