Chapter 213
213 Adam froze .
What had Celine taken that made her pass out ? Birth control pills ? He wanted to ask for clarification , but before he could say anything , the call abruptly ended with two short beeps Hailey had hung up .
Carly had overheard the conversation .
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to Adam .
Adam , did I hear that right ? Celine fainted because she took birth control pills ? Adam didnt respond .
Without hesitation , he pushed her off his lap and stood up .
Im going to Yorhine University .
Before Carly could react , Adam had already left , moving swiftly .
She turned to Lucy .
Mom , whats going on ? Adam and Celine didnt even … do anything .
So why would Celine need birth control pills ? Lucy couldnt understand it either , but her expression was grim .
Dont worry , Carly .
Ill figure out whats happening Adam arrived at Yorhine University as quickly as possible and headed straight for the campus infirmary , Mr.
Alvarez , youre finally here .
Come , look at Celine ! Hailey exclaimed , rushing to grab his arm and pull him toward the bed .
Adams eyes landed on the frail figure lying before him .
Celines small , delicate body was curled up on the bed , and even in her fragile state , she had a heart wrenching beauty .
At that moment , her eyelashes fluttered , and she slowly opened her eyes .
Celine , youre awake ! Hailey said , quickly helping her sit up .
Celine froze when her gaze landed on Adam .
Why are you here ? Adam stood tall and imposing by the bedside , his refined features unreadable .
Hailey called me .
Celine hadnt expected Hailey to call Adam after she had fainted from her allergic reaction to the birth control pills .
She turned to Hailey , her voice soft .
Hailey , you shouldnt have But Hailey cut her off , her tone firm .
Celine , you had an allergic reaction to birth control pills ! Of course , I called him .
He needs to take responsibility for this ! Then , without skipping a beat , Hailey turned to Adam , her tone filled with accusation .
Alvarez , do you have any idea how harmful birth control pills can be to a womans body ? And Celine is allergic ! If you didnt want a child , then you should have taken precautions ! Its not fair to indulge yourself and leave her to suffer for it ! Her words hit like a thunderclap in the quiet infirmary .
Celines pale face flushed red with embarrassment , and she whispered , Hailey , stop it .
Please dont say any more .
Adam stood tall , his imposing frame casting a shadow over Celine as he gazed down at her with a cold , condescending expression .
His words , however , were directed at Hailey .
You can leave now .
Alright , Ill leave you two to talk , she replied , stepping out and leaving the couple alone .
It was just Celine and Adam now .
Celine felt her chest tighten .
Would he think she had done this on purpose ? That shed asked Hailey to call him just to force him to take responsibility ? … she began , trying to explain .
But Adams cold voice sliced through the air , cutting her off .
Have you been spending a lot nding a lot of time with Nath Nathan lately ? Celine froze , caught off guard .
What kind of question was that ? She had been with Nathan recently at the hospital , taking care of him .
213 2/2 She nodded , her voice quiet .
Adams lips twisted into a mocking smirk .
So , its Nathan .
Shed been taking birth control pills because of Nathan , he thought .
Were she and Nathan so careless that they didnt even bother with protection ? Adams gaze grew colder , filled with contempt .
Why are you taking birth control pills ? The question came out sharp and direct , like a slap .
Celines lashes fluttered .
I dont want to get pregnant .
She doesnt want to g get pregnant Adam nodded slowly .
Makes sense .
You should be taking birth control pills .
Celine , even though were doing our own thing , let me make something clear if you end up with some bastard kid , dont expect me to claim it .
Celines eyes widened , her gaze clouding with shock .
She stared at him , her mind unable to process his words .
A bastard child ? Her entire body went cold , the warmth shed felt earlier draining out of her like water slipping through her fingers .
He could sleep with her , discard her , and she wouldnt cling to him , wouldnt beg him to take responsibility .
So why did he have to say something so cruel , something that cut so deep ? Adams smirk only grew .
And after all that , you still had the nerve to call me ? Dont call me again .
Celines pale face flushed red , her emotions twisting painfully inside her .
She had always known Adam had a way with words turning them into weapons that could wound as deeply as any blade .
