“Why wouldn’t I be?” James said with a chuckle. “Dr. C is Ms. Tate. If she were still your wife, I’d have to salute you every time I saw you. That would mess up the hierarchy, wouldn’t it?
Adam fell silent
James shot him a meaningful look “Teeling any regrets now?”
Adam wasn’t sure
Just then, a stir rippled through the crowd.
“Look! Dr. C is here!TM
Adam looked up
Celine had arrived.
She wore a sleek black gown. Her long, jet–black hair was loosely pinned up, with a few strands curling against her snow–white neck. She looked effortlessly elegant, like an ethereal beauty untouched by the world.
By her side, Halley wore a flowing white gown, exuding a playful charm and delicate elegance.

“He must be fully recovered now, with Dr.C’s medical skills, he’s probably walking and running without any issues.”
Celine smiled. “Tes, be’s doing very well now.”
Adalbert sotten at her words. It was only now that he realized it was Celine who had cured him.
He had been wondered about it
Back then, when he fell into a vegetative state, every doctor had given up on him. Even Carly had walked away. Yet, Celine had chosen to marry him. And three years later, he had miraculous recovered

Celine chuckded. “We’re drorced”
A were of shock spread through the group. “Someone actually divorced Dr. C?”
Celine waved a hand dismissively. “It’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about him anymore.”
Halley looped her arm through Celine’s and grinned. “Exactly. No need to dwell on old news. If anything, losing Celine is his loss.”
She glanced at Adam meaningfully.
The murmurs started again.
“That man truly didn’t know how lucky he was. When he was in a vegetative state, Dr. Cmarried him and cured him. That kind of fortune is something most people wouldn’t get in several times.”
James laughed. “Well, when one door clos, another opens. Ms. Tate is an outstanding woman. Plenty of great men out there for her. Am I right, Mr. Alvarez
Adam remained silent
Hailey added with a teasing smile, “Mr. Alvarez, you must know plenty of eligible bachelors. You should introduce some to Celine.”
Before Adam could respond, Halley continued, “Oh, but I was just joking, Celine is the nation–renowned genius Dr. C. The line of suitors pursuing her probably stretches all the way to Frankford. She certainly doesn’tored Mr. Alvarez to worry about such things.”
Adar was speechless. It seemed he was the target tonight, and everyone was taking their shots at him.
The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving Adam standing beside Celine.
He took a deep breath and said softly, “Celine, thank you”
Celine looked at him. “For curling your vegetative state?‘
Hadley scoffed. “Mr. Alvarez, do you really think a simple “thank you‘ is enough? The difference between people is really something. When you were in a coma, Carly ran off, but
