The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 577

James handed the fever medicine to Hailey. "Allie, take your medicine."

Hailey lay weakly on the bed. "Dad, I don't want to take it."

James looked at her. "What's this? Heartbroken? Declan rejected you?"

Hailey shot him a glare. He really knew how to say the worst possible thing at the worst time. She was already feeling miserable, and he just had to bring that up.

James chuckled. "Allie, didn't I tell you? You wouldn't be able to win Declan over. Just forget about him."

Hailey remained silent.

James continued, "There are so many outstanding young men out there. I know plenty of accomplished young talents. I'll introduce you to a few. Isn't the best way to get over one relationship to start a new one?"

Hailey hugged her blanket, still saying nothing.

James placed the fever medication on the table. "Allie, take your medicine. I'll leave you alone for now."

Then, he walked out of the room.

Hailey sat up and took the medicine, then lay back down, hoping to sleep.

She should have listened to her father and forgotten about Declan. After all, he never had real feelings for her.

He had said such heartless things to her and even had another young woman by his side now.

But the moment she closed her eyes, she thought of him. His face lingered in her mind, refusing to fade.

She really wanted to forget him, but she just couldn't.

Hailey picked up her phone and opened Declan's contact on WhatsApp.

She sent him a message. "Declan, I have a fever."

…

At that moment, Declan was meeting with the big boss, Bob Xanders—Stella's father.

Bob was an influential figure in the underworld. He was large and imposing, but his eyes gleamed with cunning and wisdom.

Declan handed over the financial reports for the past week. Bob looked through them, visibly satisfied.

Cobra was the man who killed his father.

Now, Bob was offering to introduce him. But there was a condition—he had to marry Stella.

Declan had no feelings for her, but it seemed he had no choice.

"Declan, I'll give you some time to think it over before you decide if you want to marry my daughter."

Stella tried to approach Declan. "Declan, I…"

However, Bob stopped her. He grabbed her by the wrist and said, "Stelly, let's go."

Reluctantly, she followed her father out.

Declan stood there alone for a moment before leaving the casino and stepping onto the street.

Just then, a notification sound came from his phone.

It was a message from Hailey.
