At that moment, the kidnappers all coughed up blood and collapsed.
The doctor stood up with a grim expression. "Mr. Alvarez, something's wrong. These people have been poisoned. They can't speak."
Adam's expression turned icy. Leo whispered, "Mr. Alvarez, it seems the mastermind drugged them in advance. Once their purpose was served, these people were no longer needed. The mastermind is truly ruthless."
Adam hadn't expected the mastermind to act so quickly, let alone right under his nose. Now that the captives were incapacitated, their only lead was gone.
Without another word, Adam turned and walked out.
Mary and Hailey were waiting for him. "Did you find out who's behind this?" Mary asked.
Adam shook his head.
Leo stepped forward and recounted everything that had happened.
Mary slammed her cane against the floor with a sharp thud and let out a cold snort. "This mastermind is truly vicious. I underestimated them!"
Hailey clenched her fists. "Now we've lost our only lead. This is infuriating!"
Just then, James rushed over. "Dr. C is awake!"
Mary and Hailey's expressions lit up. "Celine woke up? That's wonderful! Let's go see her!"
Mary and Hailey rushed toward the hospital room.
Adam hesitated for a moment before quickly following them.

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. đ Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So letâs move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Donât let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine whatâs rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesnât dragâŠ..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved đđ...
Itâs for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
