Chapter 40
Not only did her waist hurt, but her heart ached too.
Celine’s waist hurt when she hit the edge of the table just now. Not only
Even Carly, who was at the hospital, found Celine pitiful. A wife getting hurt so badly and suffering so much was simply too pitiable.
Carly’s insolence grew all because of Adam. He pampered her so much that she became so full of herself.
A wry smile appeared on Celine’s face as she said, “Allred, what happened today? Did someone give Grandma a picture?
Alfred took the photo out of his pocket. It was indeed a photo of Adam and Carly dancing together in a bar.
“Someone sent Mrs. Alvarez Senior this photo this morning to tell her that Mr. Alvarez and Carly were having an affair,” he explained. “Mrs. Alvarez Senior was furious and immediately sent some men to take Carly here.”
Mary liked Celine a lot and dored on her, therefore, she didn’t want Celine to suffer at all,
Taking the photo, Celine fell into deep thought. “Alfred, who do you think sent Grandma this photo?
“The person wanted to expose Mr. Alvarez’s affair, so they should be siding with you,” Alfred presumed.
Celine smiled bitterly. No wonder Adam didn’t believe her. Everyone assumed she was the one who sent the photo.
No matter how a person looked at it, celine would benefit from doing so. If it wasn’t Celine who sent the photo, it could only mean that her friend did it and wanted Mary to teach Carly a lesson in Celine’s stead.
Just then, Mary’s frail voice filled the air. “Adam…”
“Mrs. Alvarez Senior’s calling out for Mr. Alvarez, Alfred pointed out, Adam broke Mary’s heart today. It might result in a rift between them.
Suddenly, Celine’s phone rang. It was Lucy calling Celine answered the phone, and Lucy’s cold voice sounded from the phone.
“Celine, what have you done? Carly’s hospitalized! Come to the hospital at oncel
“Okay,” said Celine, expressionless. “I’m on my way.
After hanging up, Celine grabbed her bag and headed out of the room.
“Mrs. Alvarez, are you really going to the hospital?” Alfred was worried that she would have a tough time there.
“Don’t worry, Alfred. I know what I’m doing,” Celine said to comfort him.
Celine entered the VIP ward in the hospital. Carly, dressed in a hospital gown, sat on the bed. She looked rather pale and weak.
Adam and Lucy were keeping Carly company,
Lucy’s expression turned dark when she saw Celine, she yelled, “Celine, the doctor gave Carly a checkup just now. Thank goodness, she’s okay.
“Inever thought you’d pull such a trick by Involving Mrs. Alvarez Senior in it. How could you think of hurting Carly like that? If it weren’t for Mr. Alvarez, Carly would’ve been in grave danger or even lost her life! You’re too crue”
Celine simply held her tongue as Lucy snapped at her
Mearahile, Adam poured Carly a glass of water,
“Feed me,” Carly pouted
And Adam lifted the glass to her mouth so she could drink from it. Then, she looked up at him and said, “Adam, your grandmother must dislike me even more after what Celine’s dine.”
She reached up to tug at his sleeve. “So, you must like me even more after this to make up for it.”
Adar gazed down at her and ruffled her hair endearingly, and she shot him a dazzling smile. Then, discreetly, she lifted an eyebrow as it to challenge Celine,
Celine stood at the door and watched the two of them being all lovey–dovey. She felt awkward and felt ostracized.
Just then, Lucy said, “Celine, what are you standing there for? You started it, so you’d better apologize to Carly!”
So, Lucy asked Celine to come to the hospital just to apologize to Carly.
After hearing what Lucy said, Adam turned to look at Celine, wondering how she would react.
