The Divorce Prescription

Carly's worries vanished in an instant. She finally understood Lucy's plan and couldn't help but give her mother a thumbs-up.

Lucy smiled. "But before you go to Mr. Alvarez, you need to prepare something. You must make sure there's no doubt that Celine's baby belongs to Perry."

Carly nodded. "Mom, I know exactly what to do. I'll take care of it right now."

At Alvarez Group, Adam had returned to his office.

He was reviewing documents when Leop suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Sir, Ms. Celine still hasn't agreed to perform the surgery for Ms. Carly. What should we do next?"

Adam's pen paused in mid-air.

Leo hesitated before continuing, "Are we really going to keep pressuring Ms. Celine? I can tell that after we targeted Perry, she has become deeply disappointed in you."

Adam's cold and unreadable expression didn't change.

He had no choice. He could only take Carly's side.

Yet in his mind, Celine's face appeared-her delicate yet stubborn expression filled with defiance.

"Celine, please don't make things difficult for me," he thought to himself.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by Carly's voice, "Adam."

"Come in," Adam responded indifferently.

Carly stepped inside. "Adam, I hope I'm not disturbing you."

Without looking up, he replied, "I'm busy today. I don't have time to entertain you."

Carly smiled sweetly. "I know, and I won't take much of your time. But I have something important to tell you."

"You can tell me tomorrow," Adam replied.noveldrama

"It's about Celine."

Adam looked up immediately. "What about Celine?"

"Adam, don't get me wrong. Nothing bad happened to her. I just happened to discover something.

Aking about it, I decided you

know."

Adam studied her expression. "What are you trying to say?"

"Adam, you better prepare yourself. It's a big secret... Celine is pregnant."

Adam's pen fell to the floor. He abruptly stood up and stared at Carly in disbelief.

"What did you just say? Say that again!"

Carly calmly continued, "Adam,

today I saw Celine secretly taking a

pregnancy-stabilizing tonic. I had

Celine was... pregnant.

Adams' mind reeled. He had suspected it once before, but after she went to Alpite Pharma for an examination, he was told she wasn't pregnant.

She had lied to him. She was still carrying his child.

Adam's expression turned unreadable as he thought, "Why did Celine hide this from me? The child is mine!"

He quickly calculated the timeline-there had been a few times when he didn't use protection, but he had always been careful and pulled out.

Yet, even so, there was never a 100% guarantee.

Celine had ended up pregnant with his child.

His emotions were a mix of turmoil and disbelief. He wasn't ready to be a father just yet.

Carly studied Adam's reaction, then spoke softly, "Adam... are you misunderstanding something? Celine's baby isn't yours."

Adam's body stiffened immediately.

Carly continued, "Adam, you and Celine have been divorced for a long time now. She has been with Perry for quite a while. This child has

nothing to do with you. It's Perry's child."
