Adam stared at Celine, seemingly wanting to step in.
However, Celine didn't want to see him, so she quickly turned her head away.
Adam froze.
At that moment, Lucy's voice echoed from outside the door. "Mr. Alvarez, Carly's heart's been acting up again. She wants to see you. Please go check on her."
Lucy had come to find Adam as Carly was feeling unwell again.
Both Mary and Hailey heard what Lucy said. Mary scoffed, saying, "Someone's looking for you again. Why don't you go?"
Hailey remarked, "Carly has pretended to have heart pain hundreds of times. It's like she has nine lives, and look at her, still going strong after all this."
Adam, still at the door, stood tall and stared at Celine.
She said nothing while Hailey poured a cup of warm water. Celine took the cup and drank it with her eyes lowered. Her delicate profile glowed under the light, bathing her in soft radiance.
Lucy spoke up again, urging Adam, "Mr. Alvarez, did you hear me? Carly's still waiting for you."
Adam glanced at Celine and then turned to leave. He really went to check on Carly.
Seeing this, Mary was speechless. "He really went! If he's going, he should just stay there!"
Celine held Mary's hand gently and said, "Grandma, it's fine. Don't be upset. You don't want to make yourself sick, right?
Mary responded, "Celine, I should've sent Carly abroad when I had the chance. If not for her, you and Adam wouldn't be in this mess."
Celine smiled as she said, "Grandma, it's not that simple. You can't force someone when it comes to love. Mr. Alvarez likes Carly, and no matter where she goes, his heart will follow. Even if you send her away, Mr. Alvarez will follow her."
"I really wonder if Adam has lost his marbles. How could he possibly fall for someone like Carly?"
As Hailey finished speaking, Celine's eyes widened in shock.
Carly saved Adam in a forest and brought him to a cave?
That was impossible.
She was the one who had saved Adam in that forest all those years ago.
Their story had somehow been rewritten, with Carly taking the leading role.
"Celine, what's wrong?" Mary asked with concern.
Snapping back to reality, Celine asked, "Hailey, are you sure Mr. Alvarez told you this himself?"
Hailey nodded and said, "Yeah, right outside this hospital ward. He told me himself, so there's no mistake. He said that what he feels for Carly isn't just love or affection. She's his responsibility, and he can't turn his back on that."

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
