The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 577

James handed the fever medicine to Hailey. "Allie, take your medicine." Hailey lay weakly on the bed. "Dad, I don't want to take it."

James looked at her. "What's this? Heartbroken? Declan rejected you?"

Hailey shot him a glare. He really knew how to say the worst possible thing at the worst time. She was already feeling miserable, and he just had to bring that up.

James chuckled. "Allie, didn't I tell you? You wouldn't be able to win Declan over. Just forget about him."

Hailey remained silent.

James continued, "There are so many outstanding young men out there. I know plenty of accomplished young talents. I'll introduce you to a few. Isn't the best way to get over one relationship to start a new one?"

Hailey hugged her blanket, still saying nothing.

James placed the fever medication on the table. "Allie, take your medicine. I'll leave you alone for now."

Then, he walked out of the room.

Hailey sat up and took the medicine, then lay back down, hoping to sleep.
