The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 620

Hayden was the man Lucy had loved her entire life, and now, she had taken his life.

As Hayden collapsed to the floor, Celine immediately pressed down on his wound. "Hold on, I'll administer acupuncture right away."

Celine could never have imagined that Hayden would take the knife for her—this was beyond anything she had expected.

Hayden weakly shook his head. He knew it was too late. His life was slipping away.

With regret and guilt flooding his heart, he looked up at Celine. There were so many things he wanted to say, but when he tried to speak, only a hoarse whisper escaped, "S-Sorry..."

His hand fell limp, and his eyes slowly closed for the final time.

Celine stared at him, her voice breaking. "Please, just hold on. I'll save you... don't go..."

Lucy knelt beside him, checking for a pulse under his nose, but there was nothing.

Hayden was dead. He was truly gone.

And it was because of her.

Celine's gaze snapped upward, locking onto Lucy's. "Why? Why did you do this? Did you seriously want to kill me? I'm your own daughter, for goodness' sake!"

Celine was in shock. She had always known that Lucy didn't like her and favored Carly, but she never thought Lucy would go this far, trying to stab her. After all, she was Lucy's own flesh and blood.

How could a mother's heart be so cold, so merciless?

If Hayden hadn't stepped in at that moment, it would have been her lying there—dead.

Carly, however, felt nothing over Hayden's death. The only thing that mattered now was having Nigel as her father.

Her resentment toward Hayden burned deeply—why had he interfered, taking the knife meant for Celine? She had been so close to dying. What a waste.

Without hesitation, Carly urged, "Mom, you messed up! Finish Celine now—this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Don't let it slip away!"
