Adam immediately carried Celine in his arms. "Help! Someone go get a doctor! Quick!"
While holding Celine tightly, he rushed outside.
Meanwhile, Lucy stood frozen, staring at Hayden's body lying in a pool of blood. Her hands trembled as tears streamed down her face.
"Hayden! Why did you take the knife for Celine? I never wanted your life! I gave you my youth, my entire life! You're the one who betrayed me! You can't blame me for this!" Lucy shrieked.
Carly panicked. "Mom, get yourself together! Celine isn't dead. Our plan has failed!"
Lucy turned to Carly with teary eyes. "Carly, he was your father. He raised you, loved you, and cherished you. Aren't you even a little sad?"
Carly glanced at Hayden's lifeless body with cold indifference. "Why should I be sad? If he hadn't gotten in the way, Celine would be dead! He ruined my plan. He never loved me enough!"
"Carly, you…" Lucy was at a loss for words.
Just then, the doors to the hospital room were pushed open, and Sonia stormed in with a group of people.
She froze at the sight of Hayden's body lying in a pool of blood and let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Hayden! Hayden, what happened? Wake up! Don't scare me like this!"
She frantically shook him, but Hayden showed no sign of life.
She then looked up, her grief-stricken gaze turning to Lucy. "Lucy, what happened? It was you! You killed my son!"
Lucy stepped back and quickly tried to deny it. "It… It wasn't me…"
Just then, Nigel entered with his men. "What's going on here?"
Carly immediately ran to his side, grabbing his arm. "Dad, I'm so scared!"
Unfortunately, Carly had decided to discard her like a broken chess piece. Worried that Lucy would say something that could expose her, she quickly cut her off. "Lucy, you raised me for years, but you but killed someone. I can't protect you.
"Celine and I both saw it. The knife is the murder weapon, and it has your fingerprints on it. There are witnesses and evidence. There's no way you can deny this."
Carly's words served as both a threat and a reminder to Lucy. With all the evidence pointing to her, there was no way Carly could save her.
Sonia's hatred for Lucy boiled over. She yanked Lucy's hair roughly and screamed, "You vile woman! Why did you kill my son? I should have never let you marry him in the first place! I'll make you pay for this!"
She pinned Lucy to the ground, hitting and kicking her mercilessly.
Lucy screamed and begged for mercy under the merciless beating, "Stop! It hurts! Please, stop!"
Nigel instructed coldly, "Take her away."

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....
