The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 17

Back in Tate Manor’s living room, Hayden sat on the couch, his gaze fixed on Lucy. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Lucy, are you sure Dr. Cwill treat Carly?

Lucy smirked. Yesterday, Celine and Samson had disappeared together after Celine was drugged. The two of them must have succumbed to temptation, indulging in a night of

passion

As long as Samson got what he wanted, he would get Dr. C to treat Carly. Lucy smiled confidently. “Don’t worry. Mr. Stone will bring good news soon.”

She perched herself on Hayden’s lap. As a CEO, Hayden exuded the charm and authority of a mature man. Wrapping her arms around his neck, Lucy purred, “Honey, Dr. C is here because of me. How do you plan to reward me?!

Hayden pinched her nose playfully. “Didn’t 1 already reward you last night?”

Lucy shot him a playful place before pulling out a bottle of birth control pills. “Honey, I don’t want to take these anymore. I want to get pregnant. I want to give you a son.

Hayden’s expression darkened. Throughout their marriage, Lucy had never been allowed to have children because Hayden forbade it. She had taken those pills for years.

Lucy knew that Carly was Hayden’s most treasured child, and he would do anything for her. After all, Carly was the daughter of that woman.

BUL…

Lucy quickly concealed the glint of malice in her eyes. She said sweetly while hugging Hayden, “Honey, Carly is all grown up now. She’ll soon be the future Mrs. Alvarez. Let’s have

Hayden didn’t respond. However, before he could speak, the sound of footsteps approached. Samson had arrived.

Lucy’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stood from Hayden’s lap. She knew that if the matter with Dr. Cwas handled well, she could broach the subject of a son.

Smiling brightly, she greeted him. “Mr. Stone, you’re here! Was Celine to your satisfaction last night?” She was so overjoyed that she failed to notice the strange look on Samson’s

Samson’s eyes twitched at this. “I’m satisfied. Truly.”

Lucy clapped her hands together. “Then you can introduce Dr.Cto Carly, right?!

Heyden stood as well, his eyes filled with hope. “Mr. Stone, If Dr. Cagrees to treat Carly, I’ll make sure you’re rewarded.”

Samson turned to Lucy, his tone suddenly cold as he said, “Mrs. Tate, I’m here today to deliver a message from Dr. C

“A message?” Both Hayden and Lucy became nervous

Samson said, “Dr. Casked me to tell you to stop wasting your efforts. Carly has already been blacklisted.”

“What?“” Lucy’s face turned pale. “Mr. Stone, you… you must be mistaken!”

Hayden’s eyes tumed icy as he stared at Lucy, “Lucy, is this what you call handling things well? With Dr.Cblacklisting Carly?”

“Honey, I don’t know how this happened! Let me explain…”

Lacy grabbed at Hayden’s sleeve in desperation. But Hayden forcefully shook her off, sending her stumbling backward into the wall.

There was a loud bang as Lucy’s forehead slammed against the wall, leaving a large red mark. She winced in pain, and tears streamed down her face. “Honey. ”

Hayden’s gaze fell on the battle of birth control pills on the coffee table. “You’re right. You don’t need to take these anymore because you’ll no longer need it.” With that Hayden turned and strode out of the room.
