The Divorce Prescription

Adam's expression darkened. "What good news?"

Leo answered, "Dr. C just contacted us. They had something come up and couldn't attend the gala, but they'll be at the hospital first thing tomorrow morning to see Ms. Carly."

What?

Carly's expression lit up. "Really? Dr. C is coming first thing in the morning to check on me?"

Sonia beamed. "That's amazing! With Dr. C's legendary skills, Carly's heart condition will definitely improve."

Tracy sighed in relief. "I was so disappointed when Dr. C wasn't at the gala tonight. I can't believe we'll get to see her first thing in the morning. This is fantastic!"

Lucy, overcome with excitement, grabbed Carly's hands. Carly's heart condition had always been her greatest worry, but now, with Dr. C's arrival, there was finally hope.

The moment Dr. C was mentioned, Adam pressed his lips into a thin line.

Dr. C had stood him up too many times. If she failed to show up again, his patience would run out completely.

Adam's gaze turned sharp. "Fine. Tomorrow morning, I'll finally see who Dr. C really is."
