The Divorce Prescription

Celine nodded. "Yes, I can cure Carly."

Nigel responded, "That's great."

Celine looked at Nigel as she said, "However, I need something to make the antidote."

"What do you need? I'll have someone get it right away."

Celine smiled. "I need the blood of Carly's closest relative to refine the cure."

The blood of her closest relative?

Lucy's face instantly paled.

Nigel said, "I'm her father, and she's my biological daughter, so you can use my blood."

"No!" Lucy suddenly shouted. "You can't use Mr. Hampton's blood!"

Celine turned to her, watching the panic flash across her face. "Why not? Don't you want to save Carly?"noveldrama

Lucy froze. Both Celine and Nigel were looking at her now, and she realized she had lost control of her emotions.

They couldn't use Nigel's blood. If they did, Carly's true parentage would be exposed.

Lucy said, "Mr. Hampton, your health is too important. You can't risk using your blood. Also, Celine, I don't trust your medical skills. Why do you need his blood? I think you're trying to harm both Mr. Hampton and Carly."

Celine was speechless. "This is the only way to save Carly. If you don't trust me, I'll just leave."

Nigel stepped forward, blocking her path. "Celine, I trust you. You can just use my blood."

"No! Mr. Hampton, you can't! Celine, use mine instead!"

Celine glanced at Lucy and asked, "What good would that do? Carly isn't your biological daughter. I need the blood of her closest relative."

Lucy's eyes flickered with uncertainty. She didn't dare say another word.

Nigel said, "Celine, use my blood."

Celine nodded. "Alright, Mr. Hampton. Roll up your sleeve. I'll get a syringe."

As she stood up, a sudden wave of

and

her legs gave out.

"Celine!"

Nigel reacted instantly, catching her slender waist and pulling her into his arms.

He glanced down at her and asked with concern, "Celine, are you alright?"

Celine had been under too much stress lately, both physically and emotionally. Exhaustion weighed on her, leaving her lightheaded. She shook her head and replied, m fine."

Just then, a deep, magnetic voice came from outside the door.

"Celine! Where are you?"

Adam had arrived.

Eren blocked Adam at the door. "Mr. Alvarez, you can't go in!"

"What did you do to Celine? Move!"

Adam shoved past Eren and barged into the room. "Celine!"

The sight before him made his eyes narrow. Nigel was holding Celine, their proximity far too intimate.

On the way here, Adam had

imagined countless scenarios. Carly was Nigel's daughter, and given Nigel's fiercely protective nature, there was no telling what he might do to Celine.

He had thought Nigel would hurt her. However, he was holding her instead. The sight stunned him.

Adam strode forward, his long legs closing the distance in an instant. "What are you doing?"

His fingers curled around Celine's slender arm, trying to pull her toward him. However, Nigel tightened his grip on her other arm, refusing to let go.

Both men held onto her at the same time.

Adam glanced up at Nigel and said, "Mr. Hampton, please let her go!"

Nigel chuckled as he asked, "Adam, what if I don't let go?"

Adam was furious in that instant. "Mr. Hampton, what are you trying to do? Celine

is the same age as your daughter, Carly!"
