Nigel stood there, completely speechless.
Celine, too, was taken aback. How had she never realized just how insanely jealous Adam could be?
She glanced at him and said, "Mr. Alvarez, just a reminder—Mr. Hampton is your future father-in-law. You've already offended him before even tying the knot. Do you still plan on marrying the daughter of the world's richest man?"
Adam shook his head. "I don't want to marry her."
A smirk tugged at Celine's lips. "I wonder if you'll still feel that way in the future."
Before Adam could respond, Celine stood up from the bed. "Mr. Hampton, I'm going to draw your blood now."
Nigel entered the room. "Alright."
The butler brought in the medical kit, and Nigel sat down, rolling up his sleeve.
Celine carefully retrieved a syringe and began drawing his blood.
"Celine, why are you taking his blood?" Adam asked.
She answered without missing a beat, "Carly's been poisoned. The antidote requires the blood of a close relative, and since Mr. Hampton is her father, his blood is the only match."
Adam's expression darkened. "How did Carly get poisoned?"
"I don't know," Celine replied.
Nigel spoke up. "I'll make sure someone investigates this right away."
Outside the room, Lucy anxiously listened in. The moment she saw Celine drawing Nigel's blood, her heart began to race in sheer panic.
What was she supposed to do now? What could she possibly do?
With Nigel's blood in the mix, it was only a matter of time before the truth came to light.
If Carly's true parentage was revealed, the consequences would be devastating.
Just then, Hayden walked over. "What are you doing here?"
Lucy jumped in surprise. "Nothing."
Hayden eyed her warily, suspicion flickering in his gaze. "I saw you lurking outside the door. What's really going on?"
As Celine focused on her task in the room, her phone suddenly rang—it was Hailey.
Getting up, she stepped into the hallway and answered the call. "Hi, Hailey."
"Celine, how's everything going over there? Is anyone giving you a hard time?"
While standing in the hallway, Celine reassured her, "I'm fine, Hailey. No one's making things difficult."
"That's a relief."
"Hailey, I need a favor."
"Of course, Celine. What do you need?"
"There's a medicinal herb called Windroot at my condominium. I need it for the antidote, but I can't leave right now. Could you bring it to Tate Manor for me?"
"Got it. I'll bring it over right away."
"Thanks, Hailey."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
My dad please come novel it’s the same book with all the chapters but different characters instead of Celine her name is Wendy...
I am not happy with all of this. Why is carly moving so freely with ann. This is wrong...
You'll piss again with the next chapters. Its all about hailey, declan and erwan....
I found a link with the same story but different character name with 1k+ chapters ☺️...
this is getting absurd and funnier...so are we gonna some sci-fi alien or time travelling next...author getting dummier... I just want to point out that every single char forgets what the atrocious things carly did and was never punished they practically ignore every deed she'd done and she goes unscathed and starts doing some witchcraft sh*t...
It's been over a year since i started reading this book. Now...i guess this will take more years before it ends...hahhah enemel...
Seriously???? I really wanted to laugh. This is ridiculous! Unbelievable. Medicine to witchcraft????🤣 You're just dragging it. Reveal who the real daughter of the Hampton!!!!...
Can't you just reveal the truth of Celine heritage ??...
Not again..is there any fast forward button?...
this is so annoying. the happy moments of celine and adam are way too shorter than their problems. this is the kind of story that will make the readers lose their interest. to the author, you are so disappointing. i hope you can give the story the justice it deserves....
