Lucy and the doctors quickly took Hayden away.
Celine frowned. Why were Lucy and Hayden here? Were they here to watch her while she made the antidote for Carly?
It made sense—Hayden had always treated Carly like a precious gem. But something still didn't feel right.
Lucy was acting odd, almost like she was hiding something.
At that moment, Nigel entered the room.
"What happened?" he asked.
Adam turned to him. "Mr. Tate had an accident just now. He's been taken to the hospital."
Nigel nodded slightly and then looked at Celine. "Are you alright, Celine?"
Celine shook her head, about to speak, but before she could, Adam's tall figure loomed over her, blocking her view.
He faced Nigel and said, "Mr. Hampton, Celine is fine."
Nigel and Celine stood in silence for a moment, unsure of what to say.
"You both should leave. I need to focus on making the antidote," Celine said.
Adam turned to Nigel. "Mr. Hampton, Celine just asked you to leave."
"And she also told you to leave," Nigel responded.
"Then, Mr. Hampton, let's leave together."
"Fine."
Nigel stepped out first, with Adam following and closing the door behind him.
Celine sat at the table, her hand reaching for the vial of blood Nigel had drawn. Without hesitation, she began working on the antidote.
