Celine looked at Grace. "Mrs. Alvarez, I made this medicine for you. Take one pill a day, and slowly, you'll regain feeling in your legs. Eventually, you'll be able to stand again."
Grace was stunned. "What did you say?"
She had never expected Celine to make medicine for her, nor had she ever imagined that she might walk again.
The maid behind her was just as shocked. "Ms. Celine, are you serious? Can she really stand again? She has seen the best doctors, and they all said there was no hope. She's been in a wheelchair for over 20 years. Everyone believed she would never walk again."
Celine smiled. "Mrs. Alvarez, spending your life in a wheelchair is already the worst-case scenario. What could be worse than that? So, go ahead and take the medicine without worry. Of course, if you have any doubts, you can have it examined by a specialist to make sure no one is using this bottle to frame me."
Grace sat in stunned silence. The fact that Celine had made medicine for her was beyond shocking.
Just then, Bella giggled. "Grandma, my mommy is the nation-renowned genius, Dr. C! If she says you can stand, then you can stand!"
Grace looked at Celine. "Celine, I…"
"Mrs. Alvarez, your condition was caused by childbirth. I examined you three years ago, but I was missing a key ingredient. Now that I've found it, I was able to complete the medicine. Just consider this my way of repaying you. Also, no need to thank me since it was a doddle."
Grace was so overwhelmed that she didn't know what to say.
At that moment, Celine picked Bella up and said, "Mrs. Alvarez, I'll be going now. Goodbye."
With Bella in her arms, she turned and left.
Bella waved her little hand. "Bye, Grandma!"
As Celine and Bella disappeared from sight, the maid's eyes filled with tears. "This is wonderful, Mrs. Alvarez! Ms. Celine actually brought you medicine. She's Dr. C, the nation-renowned genius! I've heard she can bring the dead back to life.
"Mrs. Alvarez, you must take the pill right away. I'm sure you will be able to stand again!"
The maid took out a pill and handed it to Grace, who swallowed it.
"Mrs. Alvarez, how do you feel?"
Grace felt a warm sensation spread through her chest before slowly flowing down to her numb legs.
For years, she had felt nothing in them. Now, there was warmth.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
After 3 years….these two are still dumb! Writer please hurry up...
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
