Adam stared at Celine, seemingly wanting to step in.
However, Celine didn't want to see him, so she quickly turned her head away.
Adam froze.
At that moment, Lucy's voice echoed from outside the door. "Mr. Alvarez, Carly's heart's been acting up again. She wants to see you. Please go check on her."
Lucy had come to find Adam as Carly was feeling unwell again.
Both Mary and Hailey heard what Lucy said. Mary scoffed, saying, "Someone's looking for you again. Why don't you go?"
Hailey remarked, "Carly has pretended to have heart pain hundreds of times. It's like she has nine lives, and look at her, still going strong after all this."
Adam, still at the door, stood tall and stared at Celine.
She said nothing while Hailey poured a cup of warm water. Celine took the cup and drank it with her eyes lowered. Her delicate profile glowed under the light, bathing her in soft radiance.
Lucy spoke up again, urging Adam, "Mr. Alvarez, did you hear me? Carly's still waiting for you."
Adam glanced at Celine and then turned to leave. He really went to check on Carly.
Seeing this, Mary was speechless. "He really went! If he's going, he should just stay there!"
Celine held Mary's hand gently and said, "Grandma, it's fine. Don't be upset. You don't want to make yourself sick, right?
Mary responded, "Celine, I should've sent Carly abroad when I had the chance. If not for her, you and Adam wouldn't be in this mess."
Celine smiled as she said, "Grandma, it's not that simple. You can't force someone when it comes to love. Mr. Alvarez likes Carly, and no matter where she goes, his heart will follow. Even if you send her away, Mr. Alvarez will follow her."
"I really wonder if Adam has lost his marbles. How could he possibly fall for someone like Carly?"

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!...
