The Divorce Prescription

Before leaving, Carly exchanged a look with Lucy, signaling each other with their eyes.

Adam and Perry stood together. Perry checked the time. "Mr. Alvarez, Dr. C should be making an appearance any minute now."

Adam glanced at Perry. "Mr. Marshall, how do you know Dr. C?"

Perry didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he said, "Mr. Alvarez, you know Dr. C too."

Adam frowned slightly. Celine had said the same thing to him before, that he knew Dr. C. Now, Perry was saying it too.

What were Perry and Celine trying to imply? Could it be that Dr. C was actually someone he knew? Had Dr. C been around him all along?"

At that moment, the host took the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending this evening's banquet. The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Please welcome Dr. C!"

In an instant, all eyes turned toward the upstairs balcony. Everyone held their breath in anticipation of Dr. C's arrival.

Adam lifted his gaze.

Sonia, Tracy, and Lucy had all moved forward. Sonia was practically trembling with excitement. "She's coming! Dr. C is finally here!"

Everyone waited.

But as the seconds passed, nothing happened upstairs.
