Celine stood frozen, shocked by Hayden's sudden shift in demeanor. She had always known how deeply he cared for Carly, yet now he was accusing her of lying.
What could Carly have possibly lied about?
Celine met Hayden's gaze. "Why is Carly a liar? Has she been deceiving people? What exactly has she lied about?"
Hayden nodded urgently and began to write again in Celine's palm. "She is not the..."
Not what?
Hayden was about to write "Hampton", implying Carly wasn't Nigel's daughter, but before he could finish, the door to the room suddenly creaked open.
Celine looked up, surprised to see Carly and Lucy walking in.
Carly stepped forward, pushing Celine aside. "Celine, what are you doing? Why are you so close to my dad? Are you trying to hurt him?"
Celine stood up, her brows furrowed. "Carly, why are you getting so worked up?"
Carly shot her a sharp glare before turning her attention to Hayden in the wheelchair. She took his hand and said, "Dad, I heard you fell and ended up in the hospital. I've been so worried about you. I came as soon as I could to check on you."
Hayden's eyes were filled with contempt as he glared at Carly, desperately trying to pull away from her touch.
But Carly pressed down firmly. "Dad, are you worried about me? I'm fine now. The poison's already been cleared from my system, and I'm feeling so much better."
Lucy moved closer. "Honey, Carly cares so much about you. Don't worry, you'll get better soon."
Carly spun around to face Celine. "Celine, what are you still doing here? Leave. My dad doesn't want you here. He needs me, not you!"
Hayden opened his mouth, desperation evident in his eyes, but no sound escaped.
Lucy subtly shifted, positioning herself to block Celine's view of Hayden's face.
As Lucy reached Celine's back, she lunged forward, driving the knife toward her target.
The sickening sound of the blade sinking into flesh rang out, followed by a spray of blood that splattered across the room.
Celine spun around at the sound, only to see Hayden suddenly standing in front of her.
The knife was now embedded in his body, blood pouring from the wound in a torrential flow.
Celine's eyes widened in shock as she rushed to support him, her voice filled with fury and disbelief. "Lucy, have you lost your damn mind?"
Meanwhile, Lucy hadn't expected Hayden to summon the strength to rise from his wheelchair, stepping in front of Celine just in time to shield her.
Her hand burned, soaked in Hayden's blood.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
