Hailey's expression lit up. "Declan, we're in the right place! These must be the men who kidnapped Celine. She's definitely inside the operating room!"
One of the men in black suits sneered, "This is none of your business. Get lost now, and we might just let you live."
Declan's expression remained indifferent. "And what if I don't?"
One of the men immediately charged at him, shouting, "Then you're asking for death!"
Declan immediately let go of Hailey's hand. "Stay in the corner and don't move!"
Hailey knew she couldn't help in a fight, so she could only pray that her father and Mary would arrive soon. She nodded. "I'll stay put. Declan, be careful!"
As the man lunged at him, Declan swiftly kicked out, sending the man sprawling to the ground.
The other men exchanged glances when they saw how skilled Declan was. Their expressions turned ruthless as they charged at him.
Hailey watched from the side as Declan took on all five men. He fought with effortless skill, never once losing the upper hand.
Declan's fighting skills were exceptional. The muscles beneath his clothes were taut with power, and every punch he threw made the veins in his arms stand out. His sharp, chiseled features and close-cropped hair gave him an air of intensity that was both intimidating and mesmerizing.
One by one, the men fell until only one remained.
Hailey glanced at the closed doors of the operating room. She couldn't wait any longer. She dashed forward and pushed the doors open.
Inside, Celine lay on the cold operating table. A doctor in a white coat stood over her, holding a long syringe filled with anesthesia, ready to inject her.
Hailey's eyes widened in horror. She rushed forward and shoved the doctor aside with all her strength.
Caught off guard, the doctor stumbled backward and crashed into the wall. The syringe slipped from his grasp, hitting the floor with a sharp snap.
Hailey turned to Celine, tears of relief streaming down her face. "Celine, it's me! I'm here!"
Fresh from the fight, Declan's chest heaved with exertion, and his eyes burned with a terrifying intensity.
The doctor trembled under Declan's piercing gaze, stammering, "Who the hell are you people? Do you even know who you're messing with? We work for Mr. Alvarez! This city belongs to him! If you go against him, you're dead!"
Declan's grip tightened, and with a sharp twist, he broke the doctor's wrist. The syringe clattered to the floor.
Declan stepped forward, positioning himself protectively in front of Hailey and Celine. His cold gaze swept over the remaining men.
The doctor and the injured men groaned in pain, but they still managed to threaten, "You've made a huge mistake! Mr. Alvarez will never let you get away with this!"
Just then, a cold, authoritative voice rang out. "Who's made a mistake remains to be seen. Anyone who dares harm my granddaughter-in-law and my great-grandchild will pay with their life!"
A group of black-suited bodyguards filed into the room, standing at attention on either side.
Mary and James had arrived.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
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....
