Before leaving, Carly exchanged a look with Lucy, signaling each other with their eyes.
Adam and Perry stood together. Perry checked the time. "Mr. Alvarez, Dr. C should be making an appearance any minute now."
Adam glanced at Perry. "Mr. Marshall, how do you know Dr. C?"
Perry didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he said, "Mr. Alvarez, you know Dr. C too."
Adam frowned slightly. Celine had said the same thing to him before, that he knew Dr. C. Now, Perry was saying it too.
What were Perry and Celine trying to imply? Could it be that Dr. C was actually someone he knew? Had Dr. C been around him all along?"
At that moment, the host took the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending this evening's banquet. The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Please welcome Dr. C!"
In an instant, all eyes turned toward the upstairs balcony. Everyone held their breath in anticipation of Dr. C's arrival.
Adam lifted his gaze.
Sonia, Tracy, and Lucy had all moved forward. Sonia was practically trembling with excitement. "She's coming! Dr. C is finally here!"
Everyone waited.
But as the seconds passed, nothing happened upstairs.
A hushed murmur spread through the crowd.
"What's going on? Why isn't Dr. C coming out?"
"Is she even here tonight?"
Even the host was beginning to feel uneasy. Dr. C was supposed to enter at this exact moment, so where was she?
The host quickly reassured the audience, "Please remain calm. I'll go upstairs to check. Dr. C will be here shortly."
The host hurried up the stairs.
Tracy frowned. "Could it be that Dr. C isn't coming after all? We're all here just for her."
"How is that possible? She just went to the restroom. We have to check right away!"
Lucy rushed to the women's restroom.
Inside, the place was a mess. Signs of a struggle were evident everywhere. Carly's phone lay shattered on the floor, broken into two pieces.
Lucy picked up the damaged phone and handed it to Adam, her voice filled with urgency. "Mr. Alvarez, look! It's Carly's phone! Do you think she was kidnapped?"
Soon, Sonia and Tracy arrived at the scene.
Sonia's face immediately paled. "Who would kidnap Carly? Her heart condition is bad. She can't handle this kind of stress!"
Tracy turned to Adam. "Mr. Alvarez, you have to do something! We have to save Carly!"
Adam stared at the broken phone in his hand, his handsome face as cold as ice.
Just then, the soft, melodic ringtone chimed again. Another call was coming through.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
How can this be,Carly always gets away with everything and Celine intelligence is not working her at all....
Just as I thought. This could go on a few more chapters. But the bond between Fiona amd Celine is undeniable. Even without knowing that they are mother and daughter. Though I'm totally confused. Isn't there any resemblance between Celine and her parents? How couldn't they tell that she was their daughter?...
As expected of the dna results in favor of the wicked carly again.. so frustrating...
I hope the writer of this story will not prolong this…..what happened to the DNA…...
Can you upload more chapters per day, each chapter is very short you always keep us hanging...
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
