Chapter 211
Adam had said it himself–things between him and Celine were over.
Carly was ecstatic. She threw herself into Adam’s arms, hugging him tightly. “Adam, I know Celine is good at seducing men. I don’t blame you for liking her a little. But I know you’d never leave me. I’m the one you love the most”
It was true; he felt something for Celine. But the one he loved most, the one he would always love, was the girl from the cave–his girl, Carly.
Adam wrapped his arms around Carly, holding her close.
Hayden’s face lit up with satisfaction. As long as Carly was happy, he was happy too.
Lucy was also pleased, but her eyes darkened with malice at the thought of Celine. She couldn’t believe that country girl, Celine, had managed to stir even a flicker of interest in Adam.
That little tramp!
Meanwhile, Celine had just arrived at the hospital. Nathan was already packed and ready to be discharged.
“Mr. Lynch, I’m so sorry. Something came up, and I got here late,” Celine said apologetically.
Nathan gave her a faint smile. “It’s fine. Let’s go.”
“Okay, I’ll grab the luggage,” Celine offered.
She walked over to pick up the bags, which were heavier than expected. Exhausted and sore all over, she lost her balance and stumbled.
“Celine, be careful!”
Nathan reached out quickly, steadying her with his arm around her waist. The sudden momentum sent them both tumbling onto the hospital bed.
Nathan landed on top of her.
At that exact moment, a tall, commanding figure appeared in the doorway. It was Adam
Carly and Nathan were in the same hospital, and with Nathan being discharged that day, Adam had decided to drop by for a visit.
But as Adam stepped through the door, the scene before him stopped him cold, Nathan pinned Celine on the hospital bed, their bodies tangled in an intimate position.
Adam froze, his entire body stiffening.
He could still clearly remember how Celine bad rejected him last night. And now, here she was, tangled up with Nathan on a hospital
bed.
A bitter, mocking smile curved Adam’s lips. Without a word, he turned on his heel and stormed off, his entire body radiating cold fury.
Nathan looked down at Celine, concern etched across his face. “Celine, are you okay?
Still shaken, Celine quickly shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Nathan immediately released her, and the two of them sat up. “Let the driver take care of the luggage,” he suggested.
Celine nodded, still catching her breath. But before she could respond, a voice drifted in from outside. “Mr. Alvarez ”
Celine’s heart skipped a beat. Adam?
Adam is here, in this hospital?
Without thinking, she shot to her feet and bolted out of the room. In the hallway ahead, she spotted Adam’s tall, elegant figure
retreating in the distance.
“Adam!” she called out, her voice urgent.
Adam didn’t stop, didn’t even glance back. It was as though he hadn’t heard her at all.
“Adam” she called again, quickening her pace to catch up.
Just then, a nurse pushing a cart rolled into her path. “Excuse mel Please move aside!” the nurse called.

Celine had no time to react and collided with the cart.
“Celine!” Nathan rushed forward, catching her before she could fall. “Celine, you’re hurt!”
Her slender arm had slammed against the edge of the cart, leaving the skin scraped and blood trickling down.
By the time Celine looked up again, Adam was gone. His tall figure had already disappeared around the corner.
Her gaze eventually dropped to the blood that dripped from her arm.
Later, back at the women’s dormitory, Celine lay on her bed, holding her phone. She opened WhatsApp and typed a message to her best friend, Robin.
Robin, I have a friend. She slept with her husband for the first time, but afterward, he’s been avoiding her and won’t talk to her. Why do you think he’s acting like that?” T
When it came to relationships, Celine was utterly inexperienced. Adam was the first man she had ever been with, and she had no idea. how to navigate this.
