Chapter 760
Now, the ward was left with just Adam and Carly.
As she sat at the edge of the bed, Carly said, “Adam, I’m really happy you want me to stay.”
It was a good start.
Adam looked at Carly and said, “I don’t know why, but having you here with me makes me feel at ease.”
Carly responded, “It’s because you love me, Adam. You still have a place for me in your heart. Celine has just fooled you.”
Adam raised an eyebrow, his voice laced with uncertainty. “Is that so?”
Carly nodded. “Yes.”
“Then stay with me.”
Carly beamed. Finally, she would be able to stay by Adam’s side.
Just then, Leo hurried into the room. “Mr. Alvarez, are you alright?”
Adam turned his gaze toward Carly. “Can you get me a glass of water?”
Carly replied happily, “Of course. There’s no warm water here, so I’ll go get some.”
She then left the room.
Leo asked curiously, “Mr. Alvarez, why did you ask Ms. Carly to stay here? If Mrs. Alvarez finds out, she’ll definitely be angry.”
Adam knew Celine was likely already upset, but his current condition prevented him from going to her.
He couldn’t risk bringing her into any more danger. He had to figure out what was happening to him first.
Adam said, “From now on, have someone follow Carly 24/7. I want to know who she’s meeting.”
Leo asked, “Mr. Alvarez, what exactly are you suspecting?”
Adam was silent for a moment. “I suspect Carly has done something to my body.” “What? Is Carly’s that bold? Why don’t you confront her and expose her right now?” Adam replied, “Whenever I get close to Celine, I feel intense pain, but when Carly comes around, it gets better. From what I know about her, she doesn’t have the ability to cause something like this on her own. Suspect someone else is pulling the strings behind the scenes, and I want to find them.”
Leo nodded in understanding. “I understood. I’ll have someone keep an eye on Ms. Carly.” “Every liar eventually reveals themselves. We’ll just wait for Carly to make a mistake.”
“Alright.” “By the way, where is Celine now?” “I had someone check. Mrs. Alvarez is with Ms. Hailey. She’s safe.”
Adam felt relieved to learn that Celine was with Hailey. Once he figured out what was happening with him, he would explain everything to Celine properly.
Just then, Carly entered the room. “Adam, here’s your water.” She handed him a cup of warm water. Adam accepted it and said, “Thanks.” Carly smiled warmly, but just as she did, her phone rang with a melodious ringtone. It was a call from Anne. She glanced at the screen before looking at Adam. “Adam, I’m going to take this call.” Adam said, “Go ahead.”
Carly stepped outside and answered the call, pressing the button to connect. “Hello, Ms. Warwick.” Anne asked, “Carly, is there any progress with Adam?”
“Ms. Warwick, I made Celine angry, and she left. The two of them didn’t register their marriage, and Adam asked me to stay by his side to look after him!”
