The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 508

Adam stood alone in the dimly lit hospital corridor, unmoving. He didn't leave right away. Instead, he just stood there, lost in thought. The overhead lights cast a faint glow on his broad shoulders, wrapping him in soft shadows.

At that moment, Leo approached. "Mr. Alvarez, are we heading back to the office or Jupiter Heights tonight?"

Adam replied, "You may go back first."

Leo said, "Yes, sir."

With that, Leo left.

Adam walked to the window, staring out into the night. In his mind, he could hear Celine's voice from when she was on the phone call with Perry.

Celine said that she didn't want to stay in Mercity. She wanted to leave, and Perry would take her away. She was carrying Perry's child as well. Soon, they would have their own happiness and their own future.

He had Carly by his side too. Carly was his responsibility, so he would marry her one day.

He and Celine would go their separate ways and build their own lives. That was how it should be.

He kept telling himself this was the best outcome for both of them. However, no matter how much he tried to convince himself, a dull ache settled in his chest and a hollow emptiness crept in. Something inside him was slipping away.
