The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 614

What an unbelievable joke.

"Someone! Come quickly!" Lucy suddenly shouted.

Celine lifted her gaze, her clear eyes locking onto Lucy's. A knowing smile tugged at the corners of her red lips.

"Celine, what's so funny? You killed my husband, and you still dare to smile?" Lucy's voice trembled, a wave of unease washing over her—there was something chilling about the way Celine looked at her.

Celine met Lucy's glare without flinching. "Are you so sure your husband is dead?"

Lucy froze, her breath catching. "What kind of question is that? He has no breath—of course, he's dead!"

"Then why don't you check again?"

Though suspicion gnawed at her, Lucy hesitantly reached out, placing her fingers beneath Hayden's nose. His skin was cold—there was no breath.

Just as she was about to pull her hand back and curse Celine for playing tricks, Hayden's eyes suddenly snapped open.

"Ah!" Lucy's scream pierced the air, echoing through the room.

Before she could react, Hayden's hand shot out, latching onto her wrist.

Sheer terror consumed Lucy. He was supposed to be dead—yet here he was, gripping her with terrifying strength. Panicking, she wrenched her hand free and scrambled backward, crashing to the floor. "Ah! A ghost! A ghost!"

On the other hand, Sonia was overwhelmed with joy. She rushed toward him, exclaiming, "Hayden! You're awake?"

Lucy lifted her head in shock, watching Hayden take a deep breath and exhale slowly. His heart monitor's beeping steadied, and his heart rhythm returned to normal.

He was alive.

His breath had returned, and his heart was once again beating.

Lucy was utterly dumbfounded. Just moments ago, Hayden had been dead—she had checked for his breath and felt for a pulse. How could someone who had died suddenly be alive again?

Suddenly, he turned his head, his eyes fixed on Lucy.

His gaze was sharp and penetrating, holding a silent, unspoken promise of revenge. It was as though he longed to tear her apart, piece by piece.

Lucy's heart pounded with fear as she instinctively took a step back.

Sonia's brow furrowed. "Hayden, why are you looking at Lucy like that?"

Hayden's fists tightened, his bloodshot eyes never leaving Lucy. If he weren't so weak, he likely would have sprung from the bed and strangled her.

The rage and hatred in his gaze immediately triggered Sonia's suspicions. "Hayden, what's going on? Did Lucy do something to you? Please, tell me—tell me everything!"

Lucy felt her heart sink. Sonia was already beginning to suspect her.

If Hayden spoke, Carly's true identity would be exposed, bringing with it the inevitable downfall of both her and Lucy.
