The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 438

Carly gasped in shock and quickly grabbed Adam's arm. "Adam, where are you going?"

Adam's voice was firm. "I'm going back. Celine is still in there."

Carly's expression darkened. "Adam, you're seriously going back to save Celine?"

Adam pulled his arm free from her grip. "I would never leave Celine behind."

With that, he turned and strode away.

Carly panicked and tried to stop him. "Adam, my heart hurts… I feel faint… I think I'm really going to pass out."

But no matter how much she cried out, Adam didn't stop.

Adam rushed back into the warehouse, only to find the scarred man and his black-clad henchmen sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

Celine was gone.

Adam immediately grabbed the scarred man by the collar. "Where is she?"

The scarred man clutched his eyes, writhing in agony. "She ran! That little witch somehow untied herself without us noticing. When we got close, she threw some kind of powder at us. Damn it! My eyes! It burns like hell! I think I'm going blind!"

The henchmen were also rolling on the ground, suffering from whatever Celine had used on them.

Adam's eyes darkened. He sprinted toward the window.

It was open.

Celine had escaped through the window.

Adam pulled out his phone and made a call. "Clean this place up. And find Celine."

…

Later, Adam took Carly to the hospital. Sonia, Lucy, and Tracy all rushed over.

Lucy immediately took Carly's hands in hers. "Carly, are you okay?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

"What about Celine?"

Carly bit her lip in frustration. "Celine ran off on her own."

"What?"

Lucy froze for a moment. In reality, this whole kidnapping had been her and Carly's plan from the beginning.

They had hired the scarred man for a large sum of money.

The goal had been simple.

Celine placed a hand on her stomach, her complexion ghostly white. She shook her head weakly. "Perry, I'm fine."

His sharp eyes caught the way she clutched her belly. "Why are you holding your stomach? What's wrong?"

She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could get a word out, everything went black.

She collapsed.

"Celine! What's wrong?" Perry shouted, catching her before she hit the ground.

He scooped her up without hesitation and carried her back to his house.

When Celine woke up, she was lying in a large bed inside Perry's house.

Perry sat beside her. His expression was tense. "Celine, you're pregnant. You overexerted yourself. You need to rest and take care of the baby."

Celine sat up.

She was a doctor. Of course, she knew she had overexerted herself.

She placed a gentle hand on her belly.

Thank goodness the baby was still there.
