The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 516

Hailey let out a sharp, cold laugh. "Carly, why are you in such a hurry? Alfred is an old acquaintance of yours, isn't he? Didn't you bring him in all those years ago to help save Mr. Alvarez?"

Robin gasped. "Wait a minute, Carly! Why did it seem like you didn't even recognize Alfred earlier?"

Adam, too, began to sense something was off. Just moments ago, Carly had shown nothing but disdain for Alfred, treating him as if he were a complete stranger.

He fixed her with a pointed stare. "Carly, you don't know Alfred?"

Panic flickered across Carly's face. "I was so young back then. I just forgot for a moment. But I remember now! Yes, it's Alfred. Adam, my heart doesn't feel right. Let's stop talking and start the surgery right away."

Lucy could feel the tension thickening in the air. She hadn't anticipated such a startling revelation just before the operation.

Stepping forward, she quickly interjected, "Mr. Alvarez, let's focus on the surgery for now. We can deal with the past later."

Sonia nodded anxiously. "Yes, Mr. Alvarez. Carly's heart surgery is critical. That should be our priority."

Suddenly, Celine's clear voice rang out. "Carly, are you really going to keep pretending?"

"Damn, Carly. Watching you try to maintain your lie is honestly pathetic-like a clown putting on a bad show," Hailey sneered.
