The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 513

Sitting in the luxury car, Hailey waited and waited, but Declan never responded. Her messages seemed to vanish into thin air.

Why wasn't he replying?

Hailey frowned, frustration creeping in.

James glanced at her with a chuckle. "Looks like Declan hasn't replied, huh?"

Hailey huffed, a little irritated. "Dad, are you just here to laugh at me?"

James couldn't hide his amusement. "Allie, I've told you—Declan isn't someone you can control. But Ewan? He's a completely different story. Once you figure him out, he'll be yours for life."

He spoke with a philosophical air.

"Dad, I don't even like Ewan. Why would I want to control him?" Hailey retorted. "Don't sell me short. Just wait—I'll win Declan over. I'm sure of it."

James chuckled but didn't say anything further.

…

The day of the surgery arrived in no time.

Carly's heart condition had always been a significant concern for the Tate family, so on the day of her operation, the entire family gathered to offer their support.

Sonia, Hayden, Lucy, Wayne, Hazel, and Tracy were all there to cheer her on.

Celine had finally agreed to perform the surgery—a decision that marked a complete victory for the Tate family. Sonia was determined to make the most of this moment.

She turned to Carly and said, "Carly, today is finally the day. I've brought the whole family here to support you."

Carly basked in the attention, enjoying the moment as the center of everyone's focus. She gave a warm, radiant smile. "Thank you, Grandma."

Tracy eagerly interjected, "With Mr. Alvarez so devoted to you and completely severing ties with Celine, you should marry him as soon as you recover."

Sonia and Tracy had practiced these lines on their way here. They had come specifically to mock Celine. Now that they were face-to-face with her, they weren't going to let the moment pass.

Dressed in a hospital gown, Carly looked nothing like a typical patient. Her complexion was glowing, and she exuded an air of triumph.

"Celine, make sure you do the perfect job on my heart surgery later. But don't worry, I know you'll give it your best—especially since Adam will be right here to protect me!" she mocked.

Hailey and Robin had come with Celine today.

Robin rolled his eyes at Carly. "Some people are just beyond shameless."

Hailey smirked. "Carly, don't get too cocky. Let's see who gets the last laugh."

What were they trying to imply?

Carly turned to look at Celine, only to find those clear, steady eyes fixed on her. There was something distant and unyielding in Celine's gaze as though she had already seen through everything.
