The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 444

James stepped forward with a warm smile. "Ms. Tate."

Celine and Hailey approached, and James took the time to introduce everyone to Celine.

Celine smiled and gave a graceful, composed nod.

Adam watched Celine, and now he finally understood why she always addressed his uncle James by his first name. It turned out James had been her mentee.

Celine was none other than Dr. C.

"Dr. C, you went to Eastoria to work on a large-scale vaccine research project for a plague after graduating from Haffard University. But then you suddenly disappeared. What happened?"

"Yeah! You've been out of the public eye for three years. We've all been wondering where you've been!"

The crowd was filled with curiosity about her.

Celine answered candidly, "I got married."

"You got married? Dr. C is already taken?"

"What kind of remarkable man was able to capture Dr. C's heart? I'm beyond curious!"

Celine's clear, almond-shaped eyes briefly flickered toward Adam before she looked away, smiling as she said, "At the time, he was in a vegetative state."

"A vegetative state? Dr. C actually married someone in a coma?"

"He must be fully recovered now. With Dr. C's medical skills, he's probably walking and running without any issues."

Celine smiled. "Yes, he's doing very well now."

Adam felt his heart soften at her words. It was only now that he realized it was Celine who had cured him.

He had always wondered about it.

Back then, when he fell into a vegetative state, every doctor had given up on him. Even Carly had walked away. Yet, Celine had chosen to marry him. And three years later, he had miraculously recovered.

He had never known it was Celine who had healed him

Hailey added with a teasing smile, "Mr. Alvarez, you must know plenty of eligible bachelors. You should introduce some to Celine."

Before Adam could respond, Hailey continued, "Oh, but I was just joking. Celine is the nation-renowned genius Dr. C. The line of suitors pursuing her probably stretches all the way to Frankford. She certainly doesn't need Mr. Alvarez to worry about such things."

Adam was speechless. It seemed he was the target tonight, and everyone was taking their shots at him.

The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving Adam standing beside Celine.

He took a deep breath and said softly, "Celine, thank you."

Celine looked at him. "For curing your vegetative state?"

Adam nodded.

Hailey scoffed. "Mr. Alvarez, do you really think a simple 'thank you' is enough? The difference between people is really something. When you were in a coma, Carly ran off, but Celine stayed.

"The nation-renowned genius Dr. C disappeared from the world for three years, and now we know why—she was by your side, as your wife."
