The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 995

Jonah treasured his friendship with Justin, but his love for Hailey and their unborn child outweighed everything else. They were his absolute priority.

With that in mind, he earnestly asked Justin to let go of his prejudice against Hailey. More importantly, he warned him never to do anything that could endanger her or the baby.

If anything were to happen to them, their friendship would come to an end.

Justin gave a faint smile. "I understand, Jonah. Once you're done with this file, you can go home to Ms. Hailey and the baby."

Jonah nodded. "Alright."

With that, he lowered his head and focused on the documents in front of him.

As Justin walked away from the office, a sense of unease settled over him.

Now that he was away from the villa, he couldn't shake the worry about what Joanne and Hailey might be discussing behind closed doors.

With that thought pressing on his mind, Justin pulled out his phone and dialed Joanne's number.

Meanwhile, Joanne was still inside the villa. When she saw Justin's call, she answered without hesitation. "Hello, Justin."

Justin clenched his phone tightly. "Joanne, how's your conversation with Hailey going?"

"It's still underway," she said.

"Hailey's pregnant with Jonah's child. Please don't upset her, and don't do anything that could put the baby in danger."

Joanne picked up on the unusual gravity in his tone. "Justin, what's going on? I thought you hated Hailey. Why do you sound like you're protecting her all of a sudden?"

After a moment, Justin finally spoke up. "Joanne… what if we've been wrong about her?"

Joanne froze. "Wrong? What do you mean by that?"

"Joanne, we're Jonah's closest friends. We know better than anyone how much he's sacrificed for us. Shouldn't our priority be his happiness?

"You can't deny he loves Hailey. When he's with her, he feels genuinely happy. So why are we trying to come between them? Making him miserable should never be our goal."

Joanne's face fell. She never expected Justin to switch sides and defend Hailey.

Joanne's grip on the phone tightened. "Justin, your signal's cutting out. I can't hear you properly. Anyway, I'm hanging up."

Before he could answer, she ended the call.

She had no choice but to stall for time.

As the line went dead, a shadow crossed Justin's expression. Something felt off.

Joanne had ended the call suddenly, blaming a bad connection. A knot of dread twisted in Justin's gut.

He couldn't shake the suspicion that Joanne was hiding something from him.

Could Hailey's warnings have been true?

If so, was she in danger because of Joanne?

Justin hurriedly redialed Joanne's number. This time, the call went unanswered.
