The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 8

Unbeknownst to Adam that legendary junior of his was Celine. And she had rejected his request to connect.

At that moment, Leo walked in with a cup of coffee. When he saw Adam's phone, his eyes widened. 

"What? Did someone actually reject Mr. Alvarez's friend request?" he thought. 

That was quite unbelievable.

Leo commented, "Mr. Alvarez, your junior is… quite something."

It was totally fine for Adam that Celine didn't want to get in touch with him. 

He furrowed his brow after just one sip of Leo's coffee.

Leo asked, "Mr. Alvarez, is the coffee not to your liking? Should I make another one?"

Adam suddenly found himself longing for the coffee Celine used to make for him. It was perfect, just how he liked it.

His face remained impassive as he replied, "Write an eight-figure check. That's my divorce settlement for Celine."

She said she wanted a clean break, but he didn't believe it. He thought she was just playing games to get more money from him. After all, a woman from the countryside who dropped out of school at 16 couldn't possibly make a living.

This eight-figure check would buy her out and wipe out the past three years. After that, neither of them would owe anything to the other.

Leo nodded. "Understood, Mr. Alvarez."

At that moment, Leo's phone rang. He answered, and his face lit up. "Mr. Alvarez, I have good news! Dr. C has agreed to take on the heart surgery for Ms. Tate!"

Dr. C, renowned for her miraculous medical skills, had become a legend in the medical world. The wealthiest and most influential people waited in line for her services.

But three years ago, Dr. C had suddenly disappeared. No one knew where she had gone.

Now, three years later, Dr. C had returned.

Carly had suffered from a heart condition since childhood. She had been hospitalized and treated, but the illness never truly went away.

Thanks to Adam's influence and resources, he had successfully arranged for Dr. C to treat Carly's condition.

Adam's expression relaxed a little, and a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Carly was finally going to be treated.

…

The next day, Celine arrived at Haven Hospital.

Suddenly, a team of bodyguards in black suits stormed in, parting the crowd with impressive force. People were shoved aside as Adam and Carly made their entrance.

Two young women nearby were gossiping.

"What's going on?"

"You don't know? That's Carly Tate, a.k.a Scarlet Rose, the prima ballerina. She felt unwell during her dance today, and Mr. Alvarez Adam brought her in for treatment."

"Mr. Alvarez is here? No wonder there's so much commotion."

Celine couldn't believe her luck. She hadn't expected to run into Adam and Carly here at the hospital.

"Look, here they come! Mr. Alvarez and Carly!" one of the young women exclaimed.
