“Our enemy. Even if she’s in pain, even if she dies right here, you’re not allowed to take her to the hospital!”

Chapter 478

Adam’s sharp brows furrowed deeply. Carly smirked proudly at Celine. “Celine, does it hurt that much? Then beg me: If you beg, maybe I’ll let Adam take you to the hospital.”

Celine endured the pain and looked at Carly. “We’ll see who ends up begging whom.” With that, she turned and left. She picked up her phone and called Jason.

Back at her apartment, Celine picked up her phone. “Hello, Jason. Adam has taken Perry. You need to send someone to rescue him immediately.”

Jason chuckled. “Now this is rare. Someone actually dares to capture Perry? Celine, have you completely fallen out with Adam?”

Celine still felt the dull pain in her lower abdomen, and her face was pale. “Jason, don’t ever mention that person in front of me again. As far as I’m concerned, I never knew him. I was blind.”

“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll handle Perry’s situation. Celine, your voice sounds off. Are you feeling unwell?”

Upon hearing his reassurance, Celine finally felt a little relieved. If anything happened to Perry because of her, she would never forgive herself.

“I’m fine, Jason. I just need some rest.”

“Alright then. Get some rest.”

After hanging up the call, Celine still felt the discomfort in her abdomen. Today, Adam had angered her so much that it had affected her pregnancy. She needed to prepare a pregnancy-stabilizing tonic, but she was missing two key ingredients.

Celine immediately called her assistant. “Bring me two herbs—Atrion Root and Vitalis Bloom.”

While Adam was at the company, Carly arrived at Jupiter Heights, intending to find Celine. She still wanted to flaunt her position and pressure Celine into treating her heart condition sooner.

The elevator arrived at the lobby. Just as Carly was about to get in, Celine’s assistant rushed over. “Wait for me!”

Carly didn’t recognize her, and they both entered the elevator. Inside, the assistant pulled out her phone and made a call. “Hello, Dr. C, I’ve arrived. I’m in the elevator now.” Carly’s ears perked up. So this woman was Celine’s assistant? Why had Celine called her here?

“Dr. C, I’ve brought the two herbs you asked for—Atrion Root and Vitalis Bloom.”

Atrion Root and Vitalis Bloom? Why did Celine need them? Cary wasn’t knowledgeable in medicine, so she didn’t know their uses. But the fact that Celine needed them piqued her interest.

Soon, the elevator arrived at its destination floor and Celine’s assistant walked out. However, Carly stayed inside and went back down. She had changed her mind. Instead of confronting Celine, she wanted to find out what those herbs were for. If this was some kind of weakness, she could use it against Celine.

Carly pulled out her phone and dialed a number—the Tate family’s private doctor.

“Hello, Dr. Warteis, I have a question for you.”

“Ms. Tair, there’s no need to be so formal. Please ask.”

“I want to know what Arion Root and Vitalis Bloom are used for.”
