Adam's growing unease intensified.
He reached for his phone, only to find his pockets empty. It suddenly dawned on him that he had forgotten to bring his phone when he rushed Carly to the hospital.
He looked at Carly and gently said, "Carly, let your mom stay with you. I have some documents to review, and I'll come back first thing in the morning."
Carly immediately threw herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. "No! I don't want my mom here. I want you to stay with me, Adam!"
Adam reached out, trying to pry her off.
Just then, a sharp voice rang out from the doorway.
"You ungrateful brat!"
Adam turned and saw Mary standing at the door.
He was shocked. He hadn't expected to see his grandmother here. "Grandma, what are you doing here?"
Carly and Lucy were also taken aback. "Mrs. Alvarez Senior…"
Mary stood at the doorway, her eyes burning with rage as she saw Adam and Carly clinging to each other. She stormed in, lifted her cane, and struck Adam hard on the back. "So this is where you've been, you ungrateful brat! With this shameless woman!"
Adam didn't dodge. The cane struck him with a loud thwack.
Mary didn't stop. She hit him a second time, then a third.
Lucy and Carly were both horrified.

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!...
