Before leaving, Carly exchanged a look with Lucy, signaling each other with their eyes.
Adam and Perry stood together. Perry checked the time. "Mr. Alvarez, Dr. C should be making an appearance any minute now."
Adam glanced at Perry. "Mr. Marshall, how do you know Dr. C?"
Perry didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he said, "Mr. Alvarez, you know Dr. C too."
Adam frowned slightly. Celine had said the same thing to him before, that he knew Dr. C. Now, Perry was saying it too.
What were Perry and Celine trying to imply? Could it be that Dr. C was actually someone he knew? Had Dr. C been around him all along?"
At that moment, the host took the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending this evening's banquet. The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Please welcome Dr. C!"
In an instant, all eyes turned toward the upstairs balcony. Everyone held their breath in anticipation of Dr. C's arrival.
Adam lifted his gaze.
Sonia, Tracy, and Lucy had all moved forward. Sonia was practically trembling with excitement. "She's coming! Dr. C is finally here!"
Everyone waited.
But as the seconds passed, nothing happened upstairs.
A hushed murmur spread through the crowd.
"What's going on? Why isn't Dr. C coming out?"
"Is she even here tonight?"
Even the host was beginning to feel uneasy. Dr. C was supposed to enter at this exact moment, so where was she?
The host quickly reassured the audience, "Please remain calm. I'll go upstairs to check. Dr. C will be here shortly."
The host hurried up the stairs.
Tracy frowned. "Could it be that Dr. C isn't coming after all? We're all here just for her."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
