Celine stood frozen, shocked by Hayden's sudden shift in demeanor. She had always known how deeply he cared for Carly, yet now he was accusing her of lying.
What could Carly have possibly lied about?
Celine met Hayden's gaze. "Why is Carly a liar? Has she been deceiving people? What exactly has she lied about?"
Hayden nodded urgently and began to write again in Celine's palm. "She is not the..."
Not what?
Hayden was about to write "Hampton", implying Carly wasn't Nigel's daughter, but before he could finish, the door to the room suddenly creaked open.
Celine looked up, surprised to see Carly and Lucy walking in.
Carly stepped forward, pushing Celine aside. "Celine, what are you doing? Why are you so close to my dad? Are you trying to hurt him?"
Celine stood up, her brows furrowed. "Carly, why are you getting so worked up?"
Carly shot her a sharp glare before turning her attention to Hayden in the wheelchair. She took his hand and said, "Dad, I heard you fell and ended up in the hospital. I've been so worried about you. I came as soon as I could to check on you."
Hayden's eyes were filled with contempt as he glared at Carly, desperately trying to pull away from her touch.
But Carly pressed down firmly. "Dad, are you worried about me? I'm fine now. The poison's already been cleared from my system, and I'm feeling so much better."
Lucy moved closer. "Honey, Carly cares so much about you. Don't worry, you'll get better soon."
Carly spun around to face Celine. "Celine, what are you still doing here? Leave. My dad doesn't want you here. He needs me, not you!"
Hayden opened his mouth, desperation evident in his eyes, but no sound escaped.
Lucy subtly shifted, positioning herself to block Celine's view of Hayden's face.

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!...
