The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 496

Mary pointed at Adam, her voice trembling with rage. "You ungrateful brat! How could you even think that? Celine's baby is yours!"

Adam slowly turned back to face her. He was a true gentleman, raised with the best education and impeccable manners. He knew the child wasn't his, yet he had chosen not to say it outright.

Adam looked at Mary and calmly began. "Grandma, I..."

Hailey's sharp gaze locked onto Adam. "Adam, did someone tell you something? Was it her?"

She lifted a hand and pointed directly at Carly.

Carly's expression wavered. "I…"

Hailey coldly interrupted, "I see. It must have been Carly who planted that idea in your head, making you think Celine's child isn't yours, right?"

Mary opened her mouth to speak, but Hailey grabbed her arm. "Mrs. Alvarez Senior, let's go."

Mary hesitated. "But..."

"Mrs. Alvarez Senior, trust me. Let's go!" Hailey insisted, pulling Mary away.

As they reached the doorway, Hailey turned back to Adam. "Adam, someone kidnapped Celine tonight. They put her on an operating table and tried to forcefully abort her baby."

Adam froze. "What did you say?"

Hailey sneered. "We don't know who's behind it yet, but..."

She cast a meaningful glance at Carly and Lucy. "We've already captured the culprits. It won't be long before we find out who's behind this."

With that, Hailey pulled Mary out of the room.

Adam turned to Leo. "Is it true?"

Lucy grabbed her arm. "Carly, this is bad! It looks like Celine's baby wasn't aborted after all. No wonder none of those kidnappers or doctors answered my calls earlier."

Carly had already guessed as much. They had been so close, but once again, Celine had been saved.

Celine's baby was still alive.

"Why? Why wasn't the baby aborted? That child is a ticking time bomb. If Adam finds out the truth, what are we going to do? I don't think we can keep this secret for much longer!"

Carly clutched Lucy's hand in panic. "Mom, what do we do now? What if those kidnappers and doctors spill everything? Mrs. Alvarez Senior and Mr. Lambert are already involved, and Adam's gone to see Celine. If they find out it was us, I swear Mrs. Alvarez Senior will tear us apart!"

Her body ached from the beating earlier, and fear clawed at her chest. Mary's cane had hurt like hell.

If the truth came out, they were doomed.
