The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

It wasn’t as if she had pushed Carly down the stairs. Carly had done it to herself. Still, Adam’s reaction had been visceral seeing her injured leg, especially knowing she was the lead ballerina. He was heartbroken, deeply so.

Celine let out a bitter, self–deprecating chuckle.

Inside the VIP suite of the hospital, Carly’s leg had already been treated by the doctors.

Adam’s expression tightened as he asked the doctor, “Is her leg injured badly? Will this affect her ability to dance in the future?”

The doctor reassured him. “Mr. Alvarez, no need to worry. We conducted a thorough scan. Fortunately, it’s only a light wound. There was no damage to the muscles or bones. As long as she rests properly, she’ll be able to return to dancing without issue.”

With that, the doctor left.

Adam felt something touching his palm. Carly had reached out her slender hand, slipping it into Adam’s palm. Her delicate fingers curled around his.

Adam lowered his gaze to her pale face, which was tilted up toward him. “I’m fine, Adam. Don’t worry about me.”

He had been so visibly worried about her. It was exactly as she had hoped, but her heart was still warm and satisfied.

“Why did you throw yourself down the stairs?” Adam suddenly asked.

Carly froze, but she quickly recovered. She knew she couldn’t lie to him. She wasn’t planning on fooling him, either. “Adam, I’ve felt like you’ve been distant from me lately. I can’t feel your love anymore. I don’t feel safe.”

He didn’t deny it. Ever since the incident where she tried to use Mary as leverage, something between them had shifted. He had kept his distance, finding her less and less like the girl he had once met in the mountain cave.
