At Tate Manor, Celine was focused on preparing the antidote when the door suddenly swung open. A maid entered and said, "Celine, Mrs. Tate Senior requests your presence."
What could Sonia possibly want with her?
Without even looking up, Celine answered flatly, "I'm not going."
The maid was taken aback. "What? How can you refuse? Mrs. Tate Senior specifically asked for you. This is highly disrespectful!"
Celine let out a sharp laugh. The fact that a mere maid dared to lecture her only underscored how little the Tate family valued her.
"Let me make this clear. I'm here to create the antidote because they asked me to, not because I chose to be here. Mrs. Tate Senior can come to me if she has something to discuss. I won't be going to her."
"You—"
After seeing Celine's unrelenting attitude, the maid could only storm off in frustration.
When she reached Sonia's room, Sonia immediately stepped forward. "Where's Celine?"
"Mrs. Tate Senior, I went to fetch her, but she refused to come," the maid replied.
Sonia's expression tightened. "Why?"
"Mrs. Tate Senior, Celine is insufferably arrogant. She said that if you have something to discuss, you'll have to go to her—she won't be coming to you."
Sonia froze.
"What should we do now, Mrs. Tate Senior?" the maid asked.
Sonia's expression was dark with worry. What more could she do? Her beloved son, Hayden, lay in a hospital bed, and the doctors had declared him to be in a vegetative state. She had no choice—Celine was her only hope.
"Fine, I'll go to Celine myself."
Soon after, Sonia arrived at Celine's room. "Celine, I need to speak with you."
Sonia's face instantly lit up with relief. She grabbed Celine's hand, practically pleading, "That's wonderful! Let's go to the hospital right now. Please, Celine, you have to save him!"
However, Celine calmly pulled her sleeve out of Sonia's grasp, her voice as cold and composed as ever. "I can save Hayden, but why should I?"
Sonia froze. "You—"
"Saving someone always requires a reason, doesn't it?" Celine commented with an amused smile. "Hayden and I have no connection. Why should I waste my time and energy on him?"
Undeterred, Sonia pressed on, "But Celine, Hayden is your uncle! If your father were still alive, he would have wanted you to save him!"
The mention of her father made Celine's gaze harden, a cold flash in her eyes. How dare Sonia play the family card now? Did she forget how her father died? Did she forget who was responsible for it?
Celine's fingers curled into a fist for a moment, but she gradually relaxed them. "Fine. I'll save Hayden."
Sonia felt her heart leap with relief and joy. Just moments ago, she feared Celine would refuse, but to her surprise, Celine had agreed.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
