"It's you, Ms. Lilton," Hailey said.
"That's right, it's me. Ms. Hailey, do you have a moment? Let's talk."
Hailey blurted out, "You're in Barombya too?"
Joanne chuckled. "Yes, I'm in Barombya. In fact, I'm staying at the same B&B as you two."
Hailey suddenly let out a laugh. "You're the one who bought the snow lotus, right?"
She had wondered who could've gotten to it just ahead of them—it all felt too deliberate.
The moment she heard Joanne's voice, she knew.
Joanne admitted it outright. "You're smart, Ms. Hailey. Yes, I bought it. And now, the snow lotus you need is in my hands. So, what do you say? Are you interested in having a little talk with me?"
Hailey's smile turned cold. "Wait there. I'm coming now."
She hung up and turned to glance at the bathroom. Jonah was still showering.
She grabbed a pen and quickly scribbled a note saying, "Jonah, I'm heading out to buy some food. I'll be right back."
She left the note on the table and stepped out of the room.
…
Not long after, Hailey saw Joanne waiting for her in the hallway.
Hailey walked over. "So, Ms. Lilton, it seems you've been tracking us. You knew our every move."
Joanne smiled faintly. "Of course. Otherwise, how else could I have snatched the snow lotus from you?"
"Where is it?"
Joanne pulled out a box and opened it, revealing the pristine snow lotus inside.
Hailey stepped forward. "Give it to me!"
However, Hailey grabbed her. "Wait!"
Joanne slowly turned back and looked at Hailey. "Ms. Hailey, there's nothing to discuss between us. Unless you give Jonah to me, I won't give you the snow lotus."
Hailey shook her head. She and Jonah had promised to get married.
She couldn't just hand him over.
But if she didn't… then she couldn't get the snow lotus, and he would never be healed.
Joanne sneered. "You say you love Jonah. Is this your love? How selfish. You'd rather keep him by your side, disfigured, than let him be cured.
"He hasn't looked in a mirror for three years. He can't bear to see his own face. And now, when you have the opportunity to save him, you won't, all because you want to keep him for yourself!"
Hailey retorted, "That's not true!"
"Then let's make a deal," Joanne said. "I give you the snow lotus to cure him, and you give Jonah to me!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
How does anyone in their senses meet up with someone who almost hurt them and their unborn child. This author is dumb and needs to wrap this crap up. All of a sudden Hailey and kala are playing Celine and Carly's role as another character. Nonsense....
Is this still story for Celine and Adam?...
And yet again, they get away with evil!!!...
That’s gruesome to have 2 months pregnancy forcibly terminated by other characters . What kind of hospital doctors is that ?...
