Chapter 186 Chapter 186 The atmosphere was heavy and stifling.
At that moment, the doors to the operating room opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked out.
Celine quickly stepped forward and asked, Doctor, how is Nathan? The surgery was very successful.
The patient will wake up within 48 hours.
She let out a small sigh of relief.
Although she had seen Nathans wound and knew the blade hadnt hit any vital organs or caused any lifethreatening wounds, she only felt reassured now.
If anything had truly happened to him because of her, she would have carried the guilt and regret for the rest of her life.
Nathan was wheeled out, and she followed him into the VIP ward.
As the door to the ward closed behind them, she didnt even bother sparing Adam or Carly another glance.
Carly reached out to tug at Adams sleeve and said, Adam, Celine is outrageous.
She slapped you and then me.
You must || He pulled his sleeve out of her grasp and parted his thin lips, saying, Didnt you deserve it? She froze.
His gaze turned icy and sharp as he looked at her.
He then flung the photo in his hand at her with a loud smack against her chest.
Carly, I never realized before how stupid and vicious you are.

This time, youve truly disappointed me.
The blood drained from her face at his words.
As fear overwhelmed her, she quickly reached out to grab his arm and pleaded, Adam, please listen to me.
I admit I dont like Celine, but I never intended to hurt Nathan.
I didnt laow things would get so serious..
Adam shoved her away, the veins on his forehead pulsing with restrained anger.
His voice was cold and impatient when he said, Carly, this is the last time Im cleaning up after you.
There will not be a next time.
Youd better stay put.
Adam, 1…!! I dont want to see you, and neither does Nathan.
Leave now.
Carly opened her mouth to say more, but Leo stepped forward and said, Ms.
Tate, this way, please.
She clenched her fists in fnistration.
This time, she had truly dug herself a deep hole.
Not only had she failed to bring Celine down, but she had also made Adam grow tired of her.

Ms.
Tate, please, Leo repeated She had no choice but to turn and leave, unwillingly, with a glaring red slap mark on her face.
But she didnt think she had lost.
Adam was still standing on her side.
As long as he remained protective over her, she believed she wouldnt ever lose to Celine.
Meanwhile, Adam stood by the door of the VIP ward, his figure tall and imposing.
Through the glass window, he saw Nathan lying on the bed.
Although he was still unconscious, all his vital signs had stabilized.
Celine sat at the bedside, holding his hand, quietly keeping him company.
Mr.
Alvarez, Ms.
Tate wanted to use Willies gang to get rid of Mrs.
Alvarez this time.
She didnt mean for Mr.
Lynch to get hurt, but she went too far, yet you still protected her.

I think Mrs.
Alvarez is truly upset this time, Leo whispered.
Adams expression darkened.
Carly had changedso much so that she was becoming unrecognizable.
She was nothing like the girl he had once saved in that cave However, he couldnt ignore her.
He couldnt let her get dragged into the chaos of the gangsters.
He knew Celine was angry at him.
The slap she gave him had been forceful, and the sting lingered even now, **Mr.
Alvarez, you should really have your hand treated.
The wound is serious.
Blood was still dripping steadily from his hand.
Having caught the blade barehanded, the wound had yet to stop bleeding He continued to watch the scene inside the ward without saying a word.
Celine stayed by Nathans side throughout the night.
Eventually, the door to the ward opened, and a perse came in for rounds.
His condition remained stable.
