The Divorce Prescription Chapter 31

Even though Celine had an unhappy childhood, she never lost the courage to love.
Whether it was Lucy or Adam, she had always loved with passion and unreservedness.

Loving someone didn’t make a person week or inferior. And love should never be used as
an excuse to take advantage of her. Besides, she had already given up on love–she no
longer loved Adam.

Adam’s cold gaze locked onto her resolute expression, a mocking smirk bugging at his lips.

“Really? You’re over me?”

Before Celine could finish her sentence, Adam lowered his head and pressed his lips to
hers, forcefully capturing them.

Celine’s mind went blank as her eyes widened in disbelief–Adam was kissing her!

This wasn’t their first kiss. The last time, in the bathroom, she had cling to him and
initiated it herself. But this time, he was the one taking the lead.

Celine began to struggle, pushing against him. “Let go of me!

Adam’s tall, imposing frame pinned her slender body firmly against

the wall. His cool, unyielding lips pressed down on hers with an air of dominance and
conquest.

He seized the moment she parted her lips to deepen the kiss.

In that instant, his unique presence consumed her senses–a clean, fresh masculine scent
that was distinctly his.

Celine had never been close to any other man besides Adam. She was as pure as a blank
canvas. Her inexperienced body reacted sensitively to their closeness, a fiery blush
spreading across her face.

Her hands, which had been pressing against his chest, slowly curled, clutching the
luxurious fabric of his shirt between her fingers. Her knees grew weak

Noticing her legsghing out, Adam wrapped his strong arms around her waist, holding her
firmly in his embrace. Slowly releasing ber, he ended the kiss.

“You.” Caline stammered, her face flushed a deep crimson.

Adam’s voice dripped with mockery. “Is this what you call being “over me? Look at
yourself–you can barely stand after my kiss.”

He recalled the time Celine had teased him for being a bad kisser. Now, he was the one
smirking, and she was the one left speechless.

The mockery hit Celine like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the lingering wanath in
her cheeks.

It was only then she realised the kiss was meant to humiliate her.

Adam hadn’t even bothered to close his eyes during the kiss. Instead, he had coldly
watched her as she fell into disarray, which he found amusing.

Gazing at her still–dazed expression, Adam added, “is that all it takes to get you
flustered?”

As a man in his prime, Adam knew exactly how to wield your power, and his unrelenting
cruelty towards her was razor–sharp.

Celine felt embarrassed and deeply humblated. She hated him, but what she detested even
more was herself.

Her body still reacted to him. Perhaps, deep down, she still harbored feelings for him–and
he had turned that into a weapon to ridicule her.

However, Celine wasn’t the kind of woman to let herself be trampled on. If someone
struck her, she struck back just as hard.

After collecting herself, she leaned in closer to Adam, her chin held high. “That’s right.
And that’s why I’m looking for someone else. You can’t satisfy me if you can
freely please Carly, then I can find another man to fulfill my needs, What are you so smug
about, Adam? If Nathan kissed me, I’d react the same way.

She deliberately emphasized Nathan’s name as she spoke.

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 32

As Celine anticipated, her words struck a nerve.

Adam let out a cold laugh and said, “Ah, too bad I should we recorded our kiss to show
Nathan. Then he’d know exactly who he’s picking up after!”

Incensed by his words, Celine stood on her tiptoes and bit down hard on the corner of
Adam’s lips.
“Ahh!” Adam hissed, the sharp pain accompanied by the metallic taste of blood spreading
in his mouth.

He grabbed her face roughly, pinching her cheeks to force her lips into an “o” shape, his
gaze was menacing

“Are you a puppy or something? Why do you like biting so much?”

Celine held his glace without flinching

“Why don’t you start thinking about how to explain that injury to Carly tomorrow?
Nathan might be picking up after you, but Carly’s no different–she’s stuck with a used
man I no longer need!”

Adam seethed, rendered momentarily speechless.

Used man? Did she just say he was used? Damn you, Celine!

“Sure, we can have our separate lives, but Nathan is absolutely off–limits!” Adam
snapped.

“Why?” Celine demanded.

Because Nathan was his best friend, and just the thought made his skin crawl

But Adam kept that reason to himself.

He gave her a dismissive once–over before saying, “Do you honestly think Nathan would
fall for you? Don’t be ridiculous. You’re just a country bumpkin who dropped out of
schoolar16.

You have no education and no career. All you can do is shake your hips on the dance floor.
Nathan has high standards. To him, you’d be nothing more than a novelty–something he’d
tire of in no time.”

Celine glared at him silently, absorbing the fact that in his eyes, she was utterly
worthless.

She couldn’t help but wonder if all men were the same–willing to let anyone else have the
things they themselves no longer valued.

Despite the anger simmering inside her, she smiled and asked, “So, did I shake my hips
beautifully in the club today?

Adam froze, momentarily stunned, unsure if he’d heard her correctly.

Celine seized the moment to shove him away. “From now on, I’ll shake my hips for him
every single day. And I’ll come up with a new move every time–keep it exciting and fresh

Tor him

With that, she turned on her heel and strode upstairs, leaving Adam dumbfounded.

If only there were a better way to blow off steam!

After Celine entered their bedroom, Adam followed close behind, his expression sour.

“Grandma’s health isn’t great right now,

so the divorce is on hold. In the meantime, you’ll come back here every night and act the
part of a loving wife. Got it?

Even though his tone was far from pleasant, Celine agreed for the sake of Mary’s well–
being.

Turning to him with a casual smile, she said, “Fine, I can do that. But I wonder if Carly
will be patient enough to wait.”

Adam shot her a cold glare. “You take the bed; I’ll sleep on the couch. I’m showering
first,” he said curtly before heading to the bathroom.

Suddenly, a melodious ringtone echoed through the room–it was a call from Perry.

Celine answered, and Perry’s voice came through the line. “Celine, did you turn down
Carly’s case?”

“Yup,” Celine replied.

“You can’t do that” Perry sighed. “When we took on that job, Adam paid a huge deposit.
Now, his legal team has sent us a notice.

“That team is no joke–they’re one of the best in the country, an undefeated star team!
They’re suing us for breaching the contract Celine, Adam might bankrupt us Celine
remained silent.

Perry pressed on, “Celine, Adam isn’t someone to mess with. He’s demanding that you
show up at Haven Hospital tomorrow as agreed. He insists on seeing you.” Celine felt a
headache coming on. Adam was always swilt and ruthless in his decisions. From the
moment Perry accepted the deal, facing him had been inevitable. “Fine. Tell him I’ll meet
him there tomorrow,” Celine said resignedly,
As she ended the call, the bathroom door swing open, Adam stepped out, treshly
showered.

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 33

Adam stepped out of the bathroom wearing black silk pajamas, his short hair still damp
and glistening with water.

The fresh scent of his shower and the faint mist clinging to him made him look younger
and even more dashing than his usual polished, suited–up appearance.

Celine stole a few glances at him, unable to deny that he was truly gifted with striking
looks.

Suddenly, a melodious ringtone broke the silence–Adam’s phone was ringing. He picked it
up and answered.

“Mr. Almarez, Dr. Chas agreed to meet you tomorrow at Haven Hospital,” Leo informed
him.

Adam’s expression remained indifferent. “Last time, Dr.Cshowed up only to leave

mysteriously. Tomorrow, Tintend to see exactly who she is.”

Celine felt a chill run down her spine–this was had

It was clear that Adam hadn’t forgotten being stood up before, and he definitely didn’t
take it lightly. She knew she’d be facing the consequences of his ine when he saw her in
person the next day.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Adam suddenly tumed to her. “Aren’t you going to
take a shower?“!

“Yes, right away!” Celine blurted, quickly escaping into the bathroom.

Adam frowned as he hung up the call, finding Celine just as irritating as Dr.C

Robbing his hair with a towel, he sat down to review some documents.

Moments later, Celine’s soft voice called out from the bathroom. “Adam?

Adam!”

He found the sweetness in her tone peculiar, as it was completely different from
her ugal sharp–tongued demeanor.
“What is it?” Adam got up and asked, standing at the door

The door creaked open just a little, revealing Celine’s pitiful gaze. The strain from
ber shower had left het complexion glowing, her face flushed.

“Can I borrow one of your shirts? Celine looked at him with a pleading expression.

“Didn’t they prepare any pajamas for you?” Adam asked

“Yes, they did.” Celine held up a black lace lingerie set for him to see. “If you’d like to see
me in this, I’ll put it on for you right away.”

Adam was at a loss for words,

It was needless to say–Mary must be behind this, probably trying to spice things up
between them.

He went to the wardrobe and grabbed one of his white shirts. “Don’t embarrass yourself.
You don’t have what it takes to wear that lingerie.”

He deliberately tossed the oversized shirt over her head, covering her face completely.

Celine quickly yanked the shirt off and glared at him with sparkling eyes. Then, she flung
the lace lingerie at his face and said, “If I don’t have the figure for it, why don’t you try it

Adam was left speechless,

Celine then slammed the door right in his face.

Somehow, he found his irritation dissipating, and a smile crept onto his face.

Picking up the lacy garment, he gave it a brief glance. It was full of ribbons and lace
clearly, Mary had chosen it with great care. Without hesitation, he tossed it into the trash
can. Returning to the couch, he resumed his work Before long, the bathroom
door swung open, and Celine energed.

Adam glanced at her. She was wearing his shirt, its oversized fit emphasizing her petite
frame. The loose fabric hung just above her knees, making her look both innocent and
alluring.

Adam had to admit that he hadn’t really meant what he said earlier. The truth was, not
only did Celine have a pretty face, but she also had a perfect figure.

Celine didn’t bother to speak to him. After blow–drying her hair, she sat in front of the
vanity and began her skincare routine.
The table was cluttered with various skin care products. She meticulously applied
creams and lotions to her face, leaving a pleasant fragrance in the alp

Although they had been married for over three years, Adam had never shared a bedroom
with Celine before–in fact, he had never shared a bedroom with any woman. This was his
first time sering a woman going about her skincare routine, and he found it oddly
fascinating.

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 34

Sensing Adam’s gaze, Celine turned around to look at him. Adam was caught off guard.

“What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty before?” Celine glared at him.

After a brief pause, Adam said, “Why don’t you read some books and improve yourself? No
matter how beautiful you make yourself, you’re nothing but a brainless beauty.”

“Brainless beauty?” Celine narrowed her eyes silently.

Just wait, Adam Alvarez Che day, you’ll regret what you said!

Ignoring him, Celine went straight to bed.

Suddenly, Adam’s phone buzzed. It seemed that Samoel had created a group chat and
added him to it.

In addition to himself, there was another person in the group–Miss Genius C, who had
rejected his friend request a few days ago. Her profile picture was the letter “C” on a
black background

Samuel clapped and welcomed them. “Let’s welcome the two geniuses from Haffard
University! Our university is launching a digital game soon, and before it goes live, we’d
like you two to test your speed.”

Adam sent an “Ok” So did Miss Genius C

Sammel shared the game app with the group. Both Adam and Miss Genes clicked on it, and
the game began.

It took Adam only 104 seconds to clear the stages. Glancing at Miss Genius C’s profile
picture, he was curious about how long it would take her to finish.

Samuel had told him how this young lady kept challenging his record, claiming she was an
equal match for him.
Initially, Adam had been skeptical about it. When she rejected his friend request,
he decided to just let it go. He never imagined they would end up in the same group chat,
thanks to

Samue

Suddenly, Samuel sent a screenshot with a caption that read, “It only took 104 seconds for
our two geniuses to complete the game! This is astonishing

Adam’s eyes flickered. He found it hard to believe that she matched his time. No one had
ever matched his speed, yet Miss Genius Chas done it.

Adam smirked slightly, then tapped on his keyboard twice and sent a message.

Meanwhile, Celine sat on the bed with her phone in her hands. She noticed that Adam also
completed the game in 10 seconds,

Suddenly, someone tagged her in the group. It was Adam.

“Why didn’t you add me?” Adam asked in the message.

Celine glanced at Adam, who was sitting on the couch, focusing on his phone as he waited
for Miss brainless beauty.

she swiftly replied to his message.

When Adam heard the notification tone, he quickly checked it and saw, “You’re really
annoying

Adam read the message twice, then let out a smirk.

He wondered how he had annoyed her. More importantly, when had the upset Miss
Genius C

Genius C’s reply. He didn’t even spare a glance at celine, the so–called

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 35

Claim

Adam couldn’t fathom why Miss Genus Chad called him annoying, but he chose not to
dwell on it. Setting his phone aside, he returned to his work. By the time he finished, it
was late at night.
Rising from his seat, he poured himself a glass of water and glanced at celine, who was
sound asleep.

Before he turned to head back to the couch, a notification tone broke the silence, drawing
his attention to Celine’s phone. Its screen lit up with a new message.

Adam’s eyes inadvertently caught her profile picture. His cold gaze narrowed in
suspicion–it was identical to Miss Genius C’s.

He strode to the bedside to reach for the phone But before he could grab it, celine shifted
in her sleep, her beautiful face pressing against his hand.

e, momentarily stunned by his own actions.

Adam froze, n

What was he even doing?

The idea that Celine could be his genius junior at Haffard University was absurd. She was
just a brainless beauty nothing more.

He shook off the thought, convincing himself he must have been mistaken.

Just then, Adam felt a soft sensation on his palm. In her sleep, Celine was nuzzling his
hand like a kimen, completely unaware.

Adam’s gaze lingered on her delicate face, illuminated by the warm glow of the bedside
lamp strands of her hair curled softly around her neck, with a few brushing
against her rosy lips. Her captivating features held his attention for a moment longer than
heintended.

There were times when a woman’s beauty could be utterly disarming–especially for men.

Adam found himsel momentarily entranced but quickly shook off the thought. He pulled
his hand away and straightened, walking back with unwavering confidence

After all, he had encountered countless beauties in his te He wasn’t the kind of man to be
seduced by mere locks.

Settling back onto the couch, Adam closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep

When Celine woke up the next morning, Adam was already gone. A quick glance at the
clock sent her into a panic–she was running late!

Recalling Adum’s cold, displeased expression from the previous night, she knew the
consequence of missing their 9 am at Haven Hospital would be dire
After hurriedly freshening up, she darted downstairs, only to be stopped by Mary

“Oh, you’re up. Adam’s already left, Come have breakfast with me, dear,” Mary called out
warmly.

“Sorry, Grandma! I’m in a rush Bye!” Celine shouted over her shoulder as she bolted out
the door.

Mary watched her leave with concern. “She really shouldn’t skip breakfast”

At that moment, Alfred approached with an envelope. “Mrs. Alvarez Senior, someone just
delivered this. They said it’s for your hands only.”

“What is it?” Mary asked, accepting the envelope. As she opened it, a photo slipped out

Celine arrived at the hospital just in time and sported a few familiar faces–Adam, Carly,
and Melody

“Adam, is Dr. Crrally coming today? Carly’s face lit up with joy.

Born with a congenital heart condition, Carly had two lifelong wishes–to be healthy and to
marry Adam, becoming Mrs. Alvarez. She was determined to achieve both. Adam
gave a firmnod. “She’ll be here.”

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 36

With a pen and paper in hand, Melody chirped, “That’s great! I finally get to see the
legendary Dr. I’m her biggest fan! I want her autograph!”

As she spoke, she looked around. “Where’s Dr. C? Huh? Orline?

Melody, Adam, and Carly saw Celine walking in. Surprised, Carly asked, “Celine? Why are
you here?”

Melody glanced at Celine with distaste. “Celine, I’ll let you pay for hanging out with Nate
last night. Get out of here. We’re all waiting for Dr. C. We don’t want to waste time on
you!”

Adam’s gaze fell on Celine, and he frowned. Although he didn’t speak, it was clear from
the look on his face that he wasn’t pleased to see her there. It was as if he thought she
was bere to cause trouble

Celine wasn’t mad to see them there. Amused, she looked at the three of them, batted her
eyelashes mischievously, and said, “I know you’re all waiting for Dr.C” “Then get out of
my face,” Carly spat.
Celine straightened her back, a small smile forming on her face. “I’m the person you’re
wait-

“Celine? Why are you here?” someone asked.

Celine turned to see that it was Tracy Tate. Her paternal grandmother, Sonila Johnson,
had three sons, the eldest was Aaron, the second was Hayden, and the third was Wayne,
Tracy was Wayne’s daughter.

Tracy was an outstanding woman whose academic qualifications were higher than
Carly’s. Tracy was a doctor of medical science who furthered her studies abroad.

She had taken part in several major surgeries before and was more conceited of a person
than Carly. The two of them were the jewels of the Tate family, and they both looked
down on Celine

“Tracy? Why are you here? Carly asked.

Tracystood before Adam and, with a confident smile, said, “Pleased to meet you, Mr.
Aharez. Dr.Csent me here.”

Celine was dumbfounded. Since when did she tell Tracy to come?

Tracy continued, “I’m Dr. C’s assistant now. She assigned me to help treat Carly’s heart
condition.”

Celine remembered Perry bringing this up to her last night. He had said that he’d sent her
a diligent assistant who wanted to expand their horizons by becoming her assistant Said
assistant was probably Tracy,

It was a small world.

Carly based after learning that Tracy was Dr. C’s assistant. “Tracy, we haven’t seen each
other in two years. Who knew you’d become Dr. C’s assistant right after coming home?”
Melody turned to Tracy, cager lur gossip. “Tracy, is Dr. Creally a woman? What does she
look ke? I’m so curious!”

Tracy’s eyes lit up with admiration. “Dr.Cis the epitome of medical expertise. All the
medical staff in the country admire her. For the past few years, I tried really hard to be a
step closer to her. I’ve finally became her assistant, but 1st haven’t met her

Melody couldn’t help but say, “Wow! That’s awesome! The women in the Tate family are
all extraordinary except for…”
She glanced at Celine disdainfully. “Celine, you’re a part of the Tate family too. But why
are you such a disappointment? Tracy and Carly are way better than you” Melody
gestured exigentedly with her hands as she spoke

Tracy then turned in Coline too. “Celine, I’ve heard about the problem regarding your
marriage. You and Mr. Alvarez should just get divorced. You can then head home and stop
being an embarrassment for our traily.”

Carly laughed. “You needn’t tell her that. Celase dropped out of school at 16.”

Celine was speechless at the two women’s behavior

Adan remained expressionless. He turned to Tracy and asked, “Where’s Dr. C? We agreed
to meet at nine here.”

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Adam merely wanted to meet Dr. C. His face dark

face darkened a little because he didn’t see her there after so long

Tracy checked the time and stated, “Mr. Alvarez, something must’ve come up on
Dr. C’s side. No one knows what she’s been up to for the past three years since her
disappearance.

Dr. Cvanished for three whole years. It was the greatest mystery of all for the medical
staff in the nation. No one knew why she disappeared for such a long time.

All the while, Orline simply listened quietly to the conversation,

“Mr. Alvarez, 1 arrived on time. I’m right here, and you’ve seen me. Carly, Tracy, and
Melody are all witnesses, Celine thought to herself.

The gloom on Adam’s race didn’t lighten, so Tracy said, “Mr. Alvarez, let me give
Carly a checkup first”

20 minutes later, Tracy was done with the checkup, she and Adam stood by the door.

Tracy looked pretty and professional in her white silk blouse with a black skirt. She
glanced at Adam and said, “Mr.Alvarez, my preliminary diagnosis is that Carly’s atrial
septum has a defect and that her ductus arteriosus isn’t fused. This caused her to have a
heart condition. It can be treated with surgery.”
“Are there any surgical risks?” Adam asked.

Tracy shot him a pretty smile when she replied. “It depends on the surgical plan. Let’s
exchange numbers so we can discuss it in the future.”

Tracy took out her phone, ready to save his number. Celine hadn’t left, so she sew it all.
There was a tinge of humb in her eyes, so, Tracy’s real intention wasn’t to treat Melody,
after all

Adam managed to capture both Carly’s and Tracy’s hearts.

Before he could respond to Tracy’s suggestion, Celine’s light, angelic voice sounded from
behind them.

“It isn’t a defect, in Carly’s case. It’s a congenital heart disease,” said Celine.

Tracy froze. A moment later, she nimed to look at Celine. Even Adam gazed at her.

Celine stood before them quietly as she stared at Adam. “Stop wasting time. Go and find
her a suitable heart donor. She needs a transplant”

Tracy’s face fell instantly. She yelled, “Don’t talk nonsense! How dare you doubt me!
Do you even know how to treat & patient?”

Adam looked at Celine as she stood quietly before him, her luscious hair hooked behind
her ears, giving her an elegant and sophisticated vibe.

“Mr. Alvarez, I’ve told you what I should. Whether you believe me or not is not my
business.”

With

that said, Celine turned and left.

Tracy was pissed beyond words. Celine dropped out of school at the age of 16. How dare
she doubt Tracy’s medical skills? Tracy wouldn’t stand being humiliated.

“Mr. Alvarez, you mustn’t take her words seriously!” she said, seething.

Celine turned the corner, ready to leave the hospital, when she abruptly stopped in her
tracks. She saw Carly standing there, waiting for her.

“Celine, I heard Mrs. Alvarez Senior has your back,” said Carly. “That’s why you and
Adam can’t get a divorce
Carly sniggered and said, “As a woman, 1 sympathize with you, Celine. Adam doesn’t love
you. You can’t capture his heart and have to resort to pleasing Mrs. Alvarez Senior. You’re
so pathetic.”

Celine saw the scorn in Carly’s eyes. The corners of her lips lifted into a staile, and she
told Carly, “You’re the pathetic one. If Lcan’t get a divorce, you can only remain as
Adam’s mistress. Look at you freaking out like this.”

“You “Furious, Carly clenched her hands.

But she suddenly smiled. “Do you think everything will be fine just because Mrs. Alvarez
Senior has your back? Just you wait, Celine. I’ll teach you a lesson very soon.”

She turned and stormed off right after that

Celine furrowed her brow, puzzled. What trick was Carly going to pull this time?

A moment later, Melody’s frantic voice filled the air. “Adam! This is awful!” What exactly
happened?

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Celine immediately headed back the way she came. She saw Melody panicking and
grabbing Adam’s arm. “Adam, Carly was abducted!”

“By whom?” Adam’s expression shitted instantly,

“Grandma!” said Melody “Grandma had some men take her away!”

What?

The air seemed to freeze around Adam upon hearing those words. It just so happened that
Melody saw Celine, who was making her way to them.

Melody jabbed a finger in Celine’s direction. “Celine! You must’ve been behind this!”

To Adam, she said, “Adam, someone gave Grandma a

picture before this. It was a picture of you and Carly dancing at a pub. Grandma was
furious when she saw it and had some men take Carlyaway, Celine’s probably the person
who gave Grandma the picture!

Celine’s gaze turned cold. Did someone give Mary a picture? Celine wasn’t aware of that.
“Adam, Celine’s a cruel woman! She knows Grandma adores her and will always have her
back,” said Melody, adding fuel to the fire. “She wants to take advantage of Carly’s heart
condition to get rid of Carly with Grandma’s help!

Melody had barely finished speaking when Celine felt Adam’s cold gaze on her, and he
strode over to her.

“Adam, 1 didn “L” Celine denied.

Adam spat coldly, “You’d better pray that Carly’s fine”

With that said, he stormed off, leaving Celine and Melody in the corridor

Melody looked at Celine with a sadistic smile. Celine’s face paled, knowing that Adam
didn’t believe her. He must’ve thought that she had sent Mary the picture.

She was indeed the most suspicious among all the people.

Dread washed over Celine, and she quickly headed back to Alvarez Residence.

When she arrived, she went to the study. Before entering the room, she could hear Mary’s
stern voice saying, “Carly, how could you be so insolent? Adam and Celine are married, so
he’s your brother–in–law How could you ruin their family?”

She carried on beating her, “You left when you felt like it back then, and you came back
after three whole years, Did you think you could still be Adam’s wife after all that? You’re
so selfish and greedy!”

At ther moment, Carly was on her knees on the carpeted floor in the study. Her face was
drained of color as she muttered timidly, “That’s not it..“”

Furious, Mary roared, “I’ll give you a chance to leave Adam alone and head back to
whichever country you came from before you returned. Don’t ever come back!”

Carly was so terrified at Mary’s outburst that she started trembling. Even so, she shook
her head and said, “Sorry, but I can’t do that I love Adam, and I want to be with him
forever,

Mary was so mad that she started to tremble out of rage. “Do you have no shame at all?
I’ll teach you a lesson in your parents‘ stead”

Alfred had been standing beside Mary all the whole. He handed her a whip. It was a
tradition that ran in the Alvarez family.

Mary swung the whip at Carly, making the later yelp in fear.
The whip made a loud and crisp sound, but it didn’t land on Carly’s body. It struck Adam
instead.

Adam had barged into the study and hugged Carly so that she was entirely shielded in his
arms. The whip struck him heavily across the back.

The Divorce Prescription Chapter 39

“Adam“Mary cried, taken by surprise.

Even Celine was stunned. She never thought Adam would take the whip for Carly. There
was no denying that he loved Carly more than anyone else.

Adam looked at Mary and said, “Grandma, that’s enough. I’m the one who wants to stay
with Carly. She’s done nothing wrong. I’m the one you should blame. Don’t hurt her. Come
at me instead!”

Carly geekly put her arms around Adam. “No! Mrs. Alvarez Senior, please don’t hurt
Adam! tit me instead!”

Garland Adam looked like a tragic couple, while Mary looked like the villain who wanted
to tear them apart.

Celine’s heart throbbed at the scene. Even Mary’s hand, which held the whip, trembled

“Adam, Celine’s your wife!” Mary shouted. “Have you forgotten that she stayed with you
for three years when you were in a coma? How could you break Celine’s heart like this?”
She continued, “You’ve become blind because of Carly. Since that’s the case, I’ll beat you
until you can snap out of it!”

Mary raised the whip to hit Adam, her heart breaking as she did so.

“Grandma!” Celine rushed into the study to stop Mary. “Don’t hit him”

Mary serthed. “Celine, don’t be afraid! Thave your back! No one can give you a hard
time!”

Warmth seeped into Celine’s heart when she beard that just then, they heard Carly’s
pained cry.

“Adam, my heart. it hurts!” she cried.

Tuming around, Adam saw Carly with a hand on her chest where her heart would be, her
face scrunched up in agony. “Carly!” be called, alarmed.
e walked over to Carly and reached for the latter’s hand. “Let me take your pulse.”

But before Celine could touch Carly, Adam’s hand shot over to hers and grabbed her wrist
to stop her.

Celine listed her head and met has cold, piercing eyes. “Stop pretending!” he hissed.

He flung Celine’s wrist away, making her stumble. Her waist hit the edge of the desk, and
it hurt so much that tears stung her eyes.

Mary shielded Celine and yelled, “Adam, have you lost your mind? How could you do that
to Celine?”

Alfred stepped forth in shield Mary and Celine. “Mr. Alvarez, you’ve gone overboard!”

Adam glanced at Celine and saw her red–rimmed eyes that glistened with tears. She
looked so pitiful at that moment.

Clenching his hands, Adam wanted to walk over to her, but Carly started crying in pain..

“Adam, 1 feel dizzy,” she muttered. It looked like she was going to faint soon.

Adamscooped her into his ams and strode out of the study in a few long strides. “Start the
car! We’re going to the hospital right away! Celine looked up to see him carry Carly out of
the study. A small smug smile played on her lips as she lay in his arms. Carly was
the victor this time. Mary was so peeved that she stomped her feet. “Adam, don’t come
back if you dare to step

house..”

Then her vision turned black, and she passed out

“Grandma!”

“Mr. Alvarez Senior!”

Celine and Alfred called out, horrified.

Alter Celine performed acupuncture on her, Mary lay on the bed, and her breathing
slowed down.

A concerned Alfred asked, “How is Mrs. Alvarez Senior?”

“She’s line. She just needs to get some sleep,” said Celine, packing her needles.
Alfred’s blood boiled. “What’s wrong with Mr. Alvarez? Why is he taking Carly Tate’s side
all the time?” Adam adored Carly, and he would hurt anyone just for her.

Not only did her waist hurt, but her heart ached too.

Celine’s waist hurt when she hit the edge of the table just now. Not only

Even Carly, who was at the hospital, found Celine pitiful. A wife getting hurt so badly and
suffering so much was simply too pitiable.

Carly’s insolence grew all because of Adam. He pampered her so much that she became so
full of herself.

A wry smile appeared on Celine’s face as she said, “Allred, what happened today? Did
someone give Grandma a picture?

Alfred took the photo out of his pocket. It was indeed a photo of Adam and Carly dancing
together in a bar.

“Someone sent Mrs. Alvarez Senior this photo this morning to tell her that Mr. Alvarez
and Carly were having an affair,” he explained. “Mrs. Alvarez Senior was furious and
immediately sent some men to take Carly here.”

Mary liked Celine a lot and dored on her, therefore, she didn’t want Celine to suffer at all,

Taking the photo, Celine fell into deep thought. “Alfred, who do you think sent Grandma
this photo?

“The person wanted to expose Mr. Alvarez’s affair, so they should be siding with you,”
Alfred presumed.

Celine smiled bitterly. No wonder Adam didn’t believe her. Everyone assumed she was the
one who sent the photo.

No matter how a person looked at it, celine would benefit from doing so. If it wasn’t
Celine who sent the photo, it could only mean that her friend did it and wanted Mary to
teach Carly a lesson in Celine’s stead.

Just then, Mary’s frail voice filled the air. “Adam…”

“Mrs. Alvarez Senior’s calling out for Mr. Alvarez, Alfred pointed out, Adam broke Mary’s
heart today. It might result in a rift between them.
Suddenly, Celine’s phone rang. It was Lucy calling Celine answered the phone, and Lucy’s
cold voice sounded from the phone.

“Celine, what have you done? Carly’s hospitalized! Come to the hospital at oncel

“Okay,” said Celine, expressionless. “I’m on my way.

After hanging up, Celine grabbed her bag and headed out of the room.

“Mrs. Alvarez, are you really going to the hospital?” Alfred was worried that she would
have a tough time there.

“Don’t worry, Alfred. I know what I’m doing,” Celine said to comfort him.

Celine entered the VIP ward in the hospital. Carly, dressed in a hospital gown, sat on the
bed. She looked rather pale and weak.

Adam and Lucy were keeping Carly company,

Lucy’s expression turned dark when she saw Celine, she yelled, “Celine, the doctor gave
Carly a checkup just now. Thank goodness, she’s okay.

“Inever thought you’d pull such a trick by Involving Mrs. Alvarez Senior in it. How could
you think of hurting Carly like that? If it weren’t for Mr. Alvarez, Carly would’ve been in
grave danger or even lost her life! You’re too crue”

Celine simply held her tongue as Lucy snapped at her

Mearahile, Adam poured Carly a glass of water,

“Feed me,” Carly pouted

And Adam lifted the glass to her mouth so she could drink from it. Then, she looked up at
him and said, “Adam, your grandmother must dislike me even more after what Celine’s
dine.”

She reached up to tug at his sleeve. “So, you must like me even more after this to make up
for it.”

Adar gazed down at her and ruffled her hair endearingly, and she shot him a dazzling
smile. Then, discreetly, she lifted an eyebrow as it to challenge Celine,

Celine stood at the door and watched the two of them being all lovey–dovey. She felt
awkward and felt ostracized.
Just then, Lucy said, “Celine, what are you standing there for? You started it, so you’d
better apologize to Carly!”

So, Lucy asked Celine to come to the hospital just to apologize to Carly.

After hearing what Lucy said, Adam turned to look at Celine, wondering how she would
react.
