Hailey was desperate. She knew she couldn't rely on Adam right now. Without hesitation, she called her father.
James picked up quickly. "Hello, Allie."
"Dad, send people over right now! Something happened to Celine!"
"Allie, what are you saying? What happened to Dr. C?"
"I don't know either, Dad! Just get here as fast as you can! Celine is pregnant. We can't let anything happen to her or her baby!"
At that moment, the phone was suddenly snatched from James' hand. Mary's voice came through. "Allie, what did you just say? Celine is pregnant?"
Mary was with James, and she had overheard Hailey's call.
Hailey had promised Celine not to tell anyone about the pregnancy. But in this moment of crisis, she couldn't care about that anymore. Saving Celine and the baby was all that mattered.
"Yes, Mrs. Alvarez Senior. Celine is pregnant. She's carrying Adam's child. This is the eldest direct heir of the Alvarez family."
Mary was shocked, delighted, but also afraid. "Celine is pregnant? Why didn't she tell me? Allie, don't panic. Your father and I are coming over right now! Have you contacted Adam? He's the father of the baby!"
"Mrs. Alvarez Senior, I can't reach Adam. His phone won't go through."
Mary slammed her cane against the floor. "That damn bastard! He's about to be a father, and he just abandoned his woman and child? Wait until I deal with him!"
The call ended. There was no time for small talk. Both the Alvarez and Lambert families were mobilizing, rushing toward Hailey's location.
Hailey was shaking all over. She had a terrible feeling that it was already too late. Celine had left at least half an hour earlier than her.
Just then, another person suddenly came to Hailey's mind. She grabbed her phone and made another call.
The line picked up quickly. A low, cold voice came through. "Hello."
Hailey gripped her phone tightly, her voice breaking. "Declan, please! You have to help me!"
There was a brief silence on the other end.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. đ Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So letâs move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Donât let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine whatâs rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesnât dragâŠ..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved đđ...
Itâs for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
