The Divorce Prescription

"Mr. Alvarez, hasn't your secretary brought your keys yet?" Celine asked.

"He won't bring them until tomorrow. So tonight, I'm staying over."

"No way."

Adam shot her a glance. "I wasn't asking for your permission. I was simply informing you."

Celine tried to protest, but before she could say anything, her vision turned dark as Adam kissed her again.

...

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Carly was furiously calling Adam over and over again.

Still, no one answered.

She then tried calling Celine, but Celine wasn't answering either.

Both of their phones were unreachable.

What were they doing right now?

The memory of the video call flashed in her mind, making her blood boil. Without thinking, she threw her phone on the floor.

"Celine, you bitch! I'm gonna kill you!"

Lucy rushed forward to calm her down. "Carly, don't get upset. Your heart can't handle this."

Carly pushed her away. "Mom, if you really love me, then help me! Celine is about to steal Adam away from me! We shouldn't have let her take my place in the marriage in the first place! She shouldn't have met Adam at all!"

Lucy regretted it too.

Celine was that girl from all those years ago. And now, after all this time, she had reunited with Adam.

At first, Adam didn't like her, but now... he only had eyes for her.

A mysterious glint flashed across Lucy's eyes as she suggested, "Don't worry, Carly. I have an idea."

Carly perked up and asked, "What is it, Mom?"

Lucy leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear.

A sinister smile slowly formed on

Carly's lip a as she gave Lucy a

thumbs-up. "Mom, you

men Mom, you really.del

love

most."

The next morning, Celine woke up and tried to move.

Upon moving, she realized she was still on the couch, but the space beside her was empty. Adam was already gone.

She remembered that Adam held her all night, keeping her warm in his broad embrace.

But at some point, he left without a word.

Celine stood up and reached for her phone. It was then she realized Perry had called her multiple times.noveldrama

She quickly called him back, and he answered almost immediately.

"Celine, what were you doing last night? I called you so many times, but you didn't pick up at all."

Celine lied without hesitation, "Perry, I went to bed early last night."

"Liar. You were with Adam, weren't you?"

She was taken aback momentarily.

Did he have X-ray vision or something? Did he see what happened inside her apartment last night?

Celine quickly changed the subject. "Perry, why were you trying to reach me? What happened?"

"Celine, Mr. Alvarez has been searching everywhere for you. He even issued an industry-wide search. Jean barely keep up

Perry asked, hoping to get Celine's

anymore. What do you want to t

input on the matter.

Adam was that desperate to find her?

It made sense. After all, Carly's heart couldn't wait much longer.

Adam cared about Carly, so naturally, he would stop at nothing to find her.

Celine smirked. "Perry, don't worry about me. Tell Adam that I'm already in Mercity and that I want to meet him."

Perry chuckled knowingly. "With the

real Dr. C arriving in Mercity, the entire Tate family is gonna go wild Alright, set up the meeting. Since Mr. Alvarez has been searching so hard for you, it's time to let him know exactly who you are."
