But just as quickly, she turned back. She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and looked at Adam. “Adam, do you know why Ticame to Haven Hospital today?”

Adam’s eyes looked over her delicate, pale face, her skin so soft that it looked almost etherrd. Her beauty seemed to shine even brighter in the dimlight

He remained expressionless, clearly uninterested. His voice mas ley.“Crine, if you keep this up, it’s going to get linesome.”

It was a name card of a famous family doctor specializing in fertility treatments. His contact number was also written on the card.

Adam’s eyes twitched.

Celine slipped the card into his suit pocket. “Carly has a problem; surely you do too. You all should get checked out.”

With that, she bumed and walked away

Adam’s hand, hanging loosely at his side, clenched into a fist Celine always seemed to know how to piss him off.

Dury nodded in agreement. “Exactly. Where’s Dr. C? Why hasn’t the doctor shown up yet?”

The mention of Dr.Cmade everyone tense. She was Carly’s only hope.

Celine left the hospital, and as she stepped outside, someone called her name. “Celine”

She stopped and slowly turned around to see Lary

Lucy had followed her outside. She then came up to her and handed her something “Celine, this is for you.”

Celine glanced down. It was a chock for 20 thousand dollars.

Lucy said, “Celine, Adam doesn’t like you. Stop hanging on him. Let him be with your sister, Why can’t you just let Carly have him? Just get the diveece finalized with Adam; take the money, and go back to the countryside.”

Celine looked at Lary with her clear, bright eyes and amiked. “Is the position of Mrs. Alvarez really worth only this much to you? Or is that all I’m worth in your eyes?

Lucy froment before quickly defending herself, “Celine, I’m doing this for your good as your mother. This place isn’t right for you”

With a smile, the driver spoke. “You really like candy, hub?”

Celine looked up, the breeze from the window brushing her hair somly against her face. She smiled faintly. “Yes, sometimes a little sweetness helps sweeten the bitterness in lite.”

Locy stood frozen as she watched the car pull away.

Samson looked in the direction where Celine had disappeared, a sly smile creeping onto his face. “Mrs. Tate, is that your eldest daughter? I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful She looked like an angel!”

Lucy’s smile faltered, and her face grew cold and expressionless.
