Chapter 406

Adam didn't respond.

Celine smiled faintly. "I don't have a good relationship with Carly. I'm not crazy enough to want me to die."

Adam's eyes reflected conflicting emotions. Celine quietly pulled her arm from his grip and walked away. He stood alone in the hallway for a long time before heading into the ward.

"Adam, you're finally back! What did Celine say to you?" Carly immediately began questioning him.

Adam looked at her. "So, you already knew about the heart match?"

Carly admitted, "Yes, I know. Celine's heart is a perfect match for mine. Adam, why didn't you tell me?"

He replied, "Tell you, and then what?"

Carly answered as if it were obvious. "Then you figure out a way to have Celine..."

Carly pleaded, "Adam, don't you want to save me? Between Celine and me, are you still hesitating? Can that really make you hesitate now?"

Looking at Carly, Adam said, "Celine won't..."

Carly's face paled instantly. She couldn't believe he'd told her Celine wouldn't work.

"What am I supposed to do then? Adam, are you going to give up on me? Have you forgotten your promise to me? First, you've been blowing hot and cold with me, and now you won't even..."

Adam responded in a low voice, "I've already had people keep looking. Celine won't work, but I'll save you."

With that, Adam walked out, leaving Carly dumbstruck with frustration. She couldn't believe he'd rejected her. It was clear he couldn't bear to let Celine…

If it had been before, Adam would have agreed without hesitation. Somehow, he had changed over time when it came to Celine, to the point where Carly was scared of what he had become.

Chapter 407

Ferry called to invite Celine to dinner, but she declined, already planning a night out with Robin and Hailey.

The three found a window-side table at the restaurant. Hailey held the menu as she asked, "Celine, Miss Sinclair, what do you guys want to eat?" Robin replied, "Anything's fine."

Celine thought for a moment. "I'd like something spicy."

"Spicy? Celine, since when can you eat spicy food?" Robin was surprised; she knew Celine's eating habits well, and Celine definitely avoided spicy food.

Celine was surprised herself, realizing it was due to pregnancy. "I just feel like having something spicy."

Robin eyed her suspiciously. "Celine, your taste buds changed that fast? Are you pregnant or something? Craving salty and spicy food? Are you having a baby?" Robin was joking, but Celine didn't deny it.

Hailey responded, "What the hell...? You're not actually pregnant, are you?"

Looking at her best friends, Celine felt no need to hide the truth. Plus, she needed someone to help her make a decision.

Robin and Hailey were speechless, their jaws dropping.

Hailey asked, "Celine, does Mr. Alvarez know you're pregnant?"

"Then what are you waiting for? You tell him! This is something he has to take responsibility for," Hailey said, immediately pulling out her phone. "Although Mr. Alvarez is a bit of a jerk, he's a responsible person. If he knows you're pregnant, he'll definitely handle it. Just leave it to him."

Celine knew that, even if Adam didn't want the child, he would still ensure everything was cared for, for her and the baby.

Just as Hailey was about to make the call, Celine stopped her. "Forget it. I asked him face-to-face today, and he said he doesn't like kids and doesn't want to be a father." Robin asked, "Celine, does that mean you like kids and want to be a mother?"
