Tears streamed down Hailey's face, blurring her vision.
Ewan and Joanne stood off to the side, silently watching the scene unfold. They exchanged a knowing glance, a smirk tugging at the corners of their lips.
Jonah wouldn't be coming.
…
Back in his office, Jonah had just wrapped up his work and leaned back in his chair. He picked up his phone and dialed Hailey's number, planning to invite her for dinner.
But the ringtone echoed unanswered, over and over.
Why wasn't Hailey picking up?
Jonah's brow furrowed in frustration.
Just then, Jeremy walked in. "Mr. Reid, is Ms. Hailey not answering your call?"
Jonah decided to dial Hailey's number again. What could she be doing? Why wasn't she picking up?
Once again, there was no answer.
"Mr. Reid, do you think Ms. Hailey might be with Dr. Tate again?" Jeremy suggested. "Maybe that's why she didn't hear her phone ringing."
Jonah thought about it for a moment. It seemed like a plausible explanation. Hailey and Celine were always together—whatever Hailey was up to, Celine was sure to know about it.
"I'll call Dr. Tate," Jonah said, scrolling through his contacts.
He quickly found Celine's number and dialed it without hesitation.
The ringtone echoed once before being answered, and Celine's calm, soothing voice came through. "Hello, Mr. Pilsner."
Jonah held Celine in high regard—not only because she was Hailey's closest friend but also because she had been the one to treat his facial injury.
"Hello, Dr. Tate. I owe you an apology for the incident with Ewan at the hospital," Jonah said.
Even though he had already resolved the matter, he felt it was important to apologize to Celine personally.
What baby?
Jonah's grip tightened around the phone. "Baby?" he repeated.
Oblivious to the shift in his tone, Celine replied, "Yes, Mr. Pilsner. Hailey is two months along. During the first trimester, any physical activity must be approached with the utmost caution and moderation."
Two months along?
Jonah's face drained of color—he had no idea Hailey had been pregnant for two months.
He quickly ran through the timeline in his mind—just two months ago, he and Hailey had reconciled. They were inseparable, completely consumed by each other.
Jonah had always wanted a child. He hadn't used protection, secretly hoping that Hailey would get pregnant.
Could this be the child they had conceived together, all those months ago?
Hailey was pregnant—and it was his child.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
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 ?...
So until when would Hailey keep her pregnancy from Jonah...
