In an instant, all eyes in the lecture hall shifted to Hailey.
Her female classmates leaned in, nudging her with excited whispers.
"Hailey, Mr. Pilsner is calling you!"
"Hailey, how does Mr. Pilsner even remember your name?"
Hailey froze. She glanced at Jonah, confused by why he'd singled her out.
"Hailey, what do you think love is?" Jonah asked.
Why was he asking that?
After a brief pause, Hailey answered earnestly, "Mr. Pilsner, I believe love is the mutual attraction between two people of opposite sexes. It combines the thrill of hormones with heartfelt admiration."
With a faint smile, Jonah said in a deep, resonant voice, "Truthfully, love is nothing more than phenethylamine and dopamine. When two people connect, these chemicals are released, creating the powerful illusion we call love."
Hailey blinked in surprise. She'd heard many definitions of love before, but never one that reduced it to mere chemicals.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, Mr. Pilsner, are you saying love is just a dopamine-driven illusion?"
Jonah nodded. "It's not just my opinion. Physiologically, that's what it is."
Hailey pressed on, "If love is just biology, then how come you still have a girlfriend?"
A quiet warmth shimmered in Jonah's gaze. "Even if it's only an illusion, dopamine has completely taken hold of me. I surrender to it with all my heart."
The lecture hall erupted in applause. Jonah had delivered the perfect answer.
Hailey's eyes sparkled. Perhaps he did have a point.
"Thank you for the insight, Mr. Pilsner!" a student shouted out.
"Hailey, if you have any questions, you can come find me after class," Jonah said deliberately.
He was clearly hoping she'd come to him.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
How does anyone in their senses meet up with someone who almost hurt them and their unborn child. This author is dumb and needs to wrap this crap up. All of a sudden Hailey and kala are playing Celine and Carly's role as another character. Nonsense....
Is this still story for Celine and Adam?...
And yet again, they get away with evil!!!...
That’s gruesome to have 2 months pregnancy forcibly terminated by other characters . What kind of hospital doctors is that ?...
