The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 978

Justin quickly subdued the drunken men and hurried over, his voice edged with worry. "Jonah, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Jonah said, brushing it off.

Justin's eyes caught sight of the blood dripping down Jonah's arm. "Fine? You're bleeding! We need to get that treated immediately."

Before long, a medic arrived carrying a first aid kit. Hailey stepped forward and took it. "Let me take care of this."

She carefully opened the kit and cleaned Jonah's wound with a sterile cotton swab.

Fortunately, the cut wasn't deep and was just a superficial wound.

The rest of the heirs gathered nearby. "Mr. Pilsner, it seems you've really gone to great lengths for your lady today."

"Ms. Hailey, it's obvious Mr. Pilsner would do anything for you."

Hailey looked up at Jonah's striking face, silently questioning if he still cared for her.

Meanwhile, Joanne and Kaia simmered with jealousy.

"Ms. Hailey, are you happy now? You're the reason Mr. Pilsner got hurt!" Kaia spat.

"Ever since Jonah met you, all he's known is trouble. You're nothing but a walking disaster," Joanne sneered.

Right as Hailey was about to speak, Jonah's eyes suddenly shot up, locking onto Joanne and Kaia.

His expression darkened as he snapped, "Who gave you permission to speak?"

Joanne's face drained of color. She stepped forward, clutching Jonah's sleeve. "Jonah, I'm only concerned about you."

Jonah shrugged off her grip, his expression unreadable. "Hailey is the mother of my unborn child. I won't tolerate anyone speaking against her. Do you understand?"

His words hit hard, leaving Joanne stunned and humiliated before the whole room.

"And you!" Jonah snapped, turning his gaze to Kaia. "Remember your place. You're just my secretary. Someone like you has no right to question anyone important to me."

Hailey nodded. "Okay."

With that, Jonah reached out and gently took her hand in his.

Hailey froze, staring at their hands. A sudden warmth spread through her chest.

She followed silently as Jonah led the way.

Determined not to back down, Joanne grabbed Justin's arm. "Justin, don't you see? Tonight's disaster is all because of Hailey. Jonah even got into a fight over her! You have to find a way to separate them!"

Justin let out a weary sigh. "If there were any chance of breaking them up, it would've happened by now. They've fought more than once, but Jonah still won't let her go. What can we do?"

Joanne stomped her heel on the floor, her whole body shaking with frustration.

At the same time, Kaia's gaze hardened as she watched Hailey's silhouette disappear.
