The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 506

Perry's voice lit up with surprise. "Celine!"

"Perry, how are you? Have you been eating properly? Has anyone been giving you a hard time?"

Adam watched her closely. The concern on Celine's face for Perry was real, deep, and impossible to miss.

Turning away, Adam shifted his back to her. He didn't want to see or hear it.

"I'm fine, so don't worry about me. Mr. Alvarez has been treating me well. Honestly, I think I've even gained weight," Perry joked.

Celine knew he was just trying to reassure her. She wore a faint smile as she said, "Perry, hang in there a little longer. I've agreed to do the surgery for Carly. Once it's done, you'll be free."

Perry fell silent for a second, not bothering to ask her the reason for it. He always supported her no matter what she chose to do. "Alright. Just don't worry about me. I'm really doing fine."

Celine held the phone tightly, staring at the city lights outside the window. "Perry, let's leave this place after Carly's surgery. I don't want to stay in Mercoty anymore."

Adam's tall, imposing figure tensed instantly upon hearing her words.

Celine was going to leave soon.

"Celine, why the sudden decision? You never wanted to leave before, even when I asked you to."

She looked at her reflection in the window and said softly, "Because everything here is settled. There's no reason for me to stay."

Perry replied, "Alright. I'll take you with me when the time comes."

Celine ended the call and handed the phone back to Adam. "Here, Mr. Alvarez."

Adam took it without a word.

Then, she stated her condition, "I'll perform Carly's surgery, but you need to release Perry before the operation. I have to see him first."

As soon as he was gone, Hailey stepped into the ward. "Celine, did you tell him? Did you tell him that you're the one who saved his life? Did he believe you?"

Celine smiled faintly and said, "I didn't tell him."

"What? Why not?"

"Hailey, there's no rush. The emerald necklace is still in Carly's hands. If I reveal the truth too soon, it'll only alert her. Besides, I've already agreed to perform her heart surgery."

Looking at Celine, Hailey asked, "You have a plan, don't you?"

"There was a witness the night I saved Adam. I've already sent someone to bring them here. On the day of Carly's surgery, that witness will arrive, and I'll expose her myself."

Hailey said excitedly, "That's perfect, Celine! Carly has been pretending to be you for years, stealing the love and care that should've been yours. It's about time she paid for it."

A sharp, icy glint flashed in Celine's eyes as she asked, "The best way to destroy someone is to let them climb to the top, then watch as they crash so hard they can never get back up. That's the price Carly will pay for taking what was mine!"
