Logan frowned at the wound on Declan's side. "You've been stabbed, and you bled so much. You can't go anywhere! Come with me! You need to get to the hospital!"
"I'm not going! I have to find someone!" Declan shouted.
With that, he ran away.
"Hey! Declan!" Logan let out a heavy sigh.
Declan was way too stubborn. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.
…
Declan went straight to the exam hall because he was worried about his sister, Aileen. She was in the middle of her final exams for middle school, and with everything that had happened between him and Hailey, he was afraid no one had been there for her.
By the time he arrived, the exams had already ended. The three-day exam period was over.
One of the teachers noticed him. "Are you looking for someone?"
"Have the exams already finished?"
"Yes. The students have all gone home with their parents."
What about Aileen?
Just then, two students spotted him. "Hi, you're Aileen's brother."
They were Aileen's classmates. Declan had visited the school before, and with his good looks, most of her classmates recognized him.
He walked over to them and asked, "Hey, did you see Aileen?"
"Yeah, she already left."
His chest tightened. "Who fetched her?"
Hailey smiled as her eyes lit up. She reached out and ruffled Aileen's hair. "Aileen, you did amazing."
Then, she turned to James and said, "Dad, you've always said having just one daughter feels a little lonely. Why don't you make Aileen your goddaughter? That way, I get a sister, and you get another daughter."
Aileen quickly said, "Hailey, I'm already so grateful just to be staying here. I don't want to trouble you any further. Once I start high school, I can live in the dorms. I've already done the math—I can join the math Olympiad and earn my own scholarship. You don't have to worry. I can take care of myself."
She knew that, given her background, being taken in by the Lamberts was already more than she could have hoped for. She didn't want to be a burden.
Hailey smiled as she responded, "Aileen, I know you can take care of yourself. But wouldn't it be better to have a sister who spoils you, a godfather who has your back, and a home to return to?"
James chuckled. "Aileen, even if Hailey hadn't said anything, I was already planning to make you my goddaughter. I have a deep appreciation for talent. I managed to keep your brother, so I should be able to keep you too. I'll host a formal ceremony in a few days to make it official—you'll be part of our family."
Aileen's eyes reddened at that. Since Pamela passed away, she had been alone.
Now, she had a sister and a father. It was more than she had ever dared to dream.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
