Perry's voice lit up with surprise. "Celine!"
"Perry, how are you? Have you been eating properly? Has anyone been giving you a hard time?"
Adam watched her closely. The concern on Celine's face for Perry was real, deep, and impossible to miss.
Turning away, Adam shifted his back to her. He didn't want to see or hear it.
"I'm fine, so don't worry about me. Mr. Alvarez has been treating me well. Honestly, I think I've even gained weight," Perry joked.
Celine knew he was just trying to reassure her. She wore a faint smile as she said, "Perry, hang in there a little longer. I've agreed to do the surgery for Carly. Once it's done, you'll be free."
Perry fell silent for a second, not bothering to ask her the reason for it. He always supported her no matter what she chose to do. "Alright. Just don't worry about me. I'm really doing fine."
Celine held the phone tightly, staring at the city lights outside the window. "Perry, let's leave this place after Carly's surgery. I don't want to stay in Mercoty anymore."
Adam's tall, imposing figure tensed instantly upon hearing her words.
Celine was going to leave soon.
"Celine, why the sudden decision? You never wanted to leave before, even when I asked you to."
She looked at her reflection in the window and said softly, "Because everything here is settled. There's no reason for me to stay."
Perry replied, "Alright. I'll take you with me when the time comes."
Celine ended the call and handed the phone back to Adam. "Here, Mr. Alvarez."
Adam took it without a word.
Then, she stated her condition, "I'll perform Carly's surgery, but you need to release Perry before the operation. I have to see him first."

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!...
