The Divorce Prescription

Celine knew it was time for her to step into the spotlight.

The Tate family had caused her father's death, and it was about time for her to settle this blood debt they owed her.

And then there was Adam. He had been desperately searching for Dr. C, hadn't he? Fine, she'd tell him herself.

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of Alvarez Group's headquarters, Adam sat at his desk going through documents.

The pen in his hand moved swiftly across the page as he signed his name in bold, decisive strokes.

Just then, Leo entered and spoke in a low voice. "Mr. Alvarez, there's news about Dr. C."

The pen in Adam's hand paused mid-stroke. He slowly looked up at Leo and said, "Go on."

"Sir, Dr. C's contact has just confirmed that Dr. C will be attending the banquet tonight. Dr. C has officially arrived in Mercity and has requested to meet you there."

Adam fell into deep thought. He had been searching for Dr. C for quite a long time. After multiple missed encounters and that scandal with a fake Dr. C, the real deal was finally here.

Tonight, he would see for himself who this legendary Dr. C was.

With a smirk, he answered, "Sure. We'll meet at the banquet tonight."noveldrama

Adam arrived at the VIP ward.

That morning, Lucy had called, claiming that Carly's heart had been acting up again, and she needed Adam to accompany her.

The moment he entered the ward, he found Carly in a tantrum.

"Adam! What happened with you and Celine last night? Why were you with her? I know she must've seduced you! She deliberately bought a house across from yours just so she could keep tempting you!"

"Carly," Adam's deep voice interrupted her rant.

She turned to look at him.

"I was the one who went to find Celine last night," he said.

The answer shocked Carly so much that she froze in place.

Then, as if in denial, she quickly covered her ears.

"I don't want to hear it! Adam, I only left because went abroad! That's the only reason Celine got the chance to take my place in the marriage! I don't blame you for what happened with her, but don't det her deceive you!

"She may be highly educated, but for the past few years, she's just been a housewife. I refuse to believe that a woman like that could ever catch your eye!

"I admit, Celine is beautiful, and she knows how to manipulate men. Isn't that how your relationship with her started? She must have pleased you in bed, and now you're willing to entertain here. But let's be

honest-this isn't love. She's just using her body to serve you!

"Adam, the one you love is me!"

Adam's elegant, chiseled face remained unreadable. Truth be told, Carly wasn't entirely wrong. Celine sure knew how to handle him in bed.

Images of last night on the couch flashed in his mind her soft curves, the subtle changes in her body...

Just the thought of it made his throat feel dry.

Holding her in his arms all night had been torture.

Lately, he found himself wanting to go to her. Even he didn't understand what was happening to him.

Adam knew his own type-he was drawn to intelligent, accomplished women with independent careers and strong personalities.

Celine was a genius, but she had become a housewife and hadn't worked in years. She didn't fit his type at all.

And yet... with her, everything felt different.

He didn't even know when it had started.

Carly clutched her chest, her face pale. "Adam, my heart hurts... The doctor said I can't handle stress. I don't want to hear things that make me upset."

Adam pressed his lips together for a moment. "Dr. C has arrived in Mercity."

Carly fell into a momentary daze, and then her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Is it true, Adam? The real Dr. C is finally here?"

Just then, Sonia, Lucy, and Tracy entered the ward, all looking giddy with anticipation.
