The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 894

The name "Joanne" felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Hailey's head, chilling her to the core.

It seemed he had mistaken her for Joanne.

She wondered if he had already slept with Joanne. Then, she remembered Joanne had said they were getting married soon. Had they already been intimate?

Hailey felt as though her heart had been brutally pierced. Her pale eyes turned red, and she pushed Jonah off of her, rushing into the room.

She slammed the door shut and pressed her back against it, slowly sliding down to the floor.

She sat on the floor, hugging her knees as heavy, uncontrollable tears streamed down her face.

It hurt so much—hearing him whisper another woman's name in her ear was a pain she never imagined.

Hailey didn't dare cry out loud, but her shoulders trembled as she silently choked on her sobs.

Outside, Jonah lay sprawled on the couch, raising his arm to shield his eyes from the crimson hue that showed the lingering traces of his desire.

He wanted Hailey so badly.

His throat bobbed as he opened his eyes, staring up at the ceiling of the living room.

No one knew what he was thinking, and soon he gave a bitter, lonely smile.

…

Hailey didn't fall asleep until late, so she woke up late the next morning. Aileen called out to her, "Hailey."

Hailey sat up. "Aileen, are you feeling better?"

She touched Aileen's forehead. It was no longer hot, but she still had a low-grade fever.

Aileen's condition had improved a lot, and her spirits were lifting. "Hailey, I'm much better. But you... your eyes are so swollen!"
