Hailey lost all sense of time. She felt like a small boat caught in a storm, tossed by powerful waves until one final surge dragged her under completely.
Jonah carried her to the shower and bathed her. When he finished, he helped her back into bed. Exhausted, Hailey curled beneath the covers and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Jonah playfully pinched her cheek. "You're not allowed to fall asleep just yet, Ms. Hailey."
Hailey murmured sleepily, with her eyes still closed, "Don't bother me… I'm exhausted…"
Jonah ran his fingers through her damp hair. "Your hair's still wet. Let me take care of that."
With that, he grabbed the blow dryer and started drying her hair.
His touch was gentle, careful not to disturb her. Hailey barely felt his fingers threading through her hair as the warm air slowly dried each strand.
Jonah set the dryer down when he finished and slipped into the bathroom to shower.
Upon returning, he pulled back the covers and eased into bed. Though it was his room, he hadn't slept here since bringing Hailey home. Tonight would be the first time he'd fall asleep holding her close.
Hailey was already sound asleep when Jonah gently wrapped his arms around her.
She snuggled close like a kitten, seeking comfort in his embrace. "Jonah…"
She was calling his name.
A smile tugged at Jonah's lips. "I'm right here."
All of a sudden, she spoke again. "Declan."
Jonah's heart skipped a beat. So many cherished memories from their youth were lost forever. Back when he was still Declan, Hailey had been the only light in his life.
Since then, he'd never let go of her, no matter how much it hurt.
She still held onto the memory of who he once was; to her, he would always be Declan.
Jonah bent down and kissed Hailey's forehead. "I'm here."

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...
