TimeNovelChapter 770 Adam lowered his gaze to Celine, meeting her concerned eyes. She looked at him and asked, "Adam, what's wrong? Adam's face grew pale. "I..." Just then, Hailey approached, and she noticed Adam's unusual complexion. "Adam, what's going on? Are you feeling okay?" Celine didn't hesitate for a second. She quickly took Adam's wrist to check his pulse. Adam tried to pull away, but Celine's delicate fingers pressed firmly against his wrist. "Stay still!" Aworried frown creased Celine's forehead. "Celine, why the frown? What's going on with Adam?" Hailey asked.

"T'm honestly not sure what's happening," Adam admitted. "But I feel like it's all because of you." ---- "Because of Celine?" Hailey asked, her confusion evident. "Adam, what are you trying to say?" "Celine, when I'm away from you, I feel normal. But the moment I get close to you, the pain in my head becomes unbearable. "The day we were supposed to go to city hall to get married -it wasn't that I didn't want to show up.
I was suddenly hit with an intense headache and passed out. You were already gone when I woke up and tried to find you." Hailey was shocked. "What? So that's what happened! Celine, what's wrong with Adam? What's happening to him?" "I suspect he's been affected by the Heartstring Venom." "The Heartstring Venom?" Adam repeated. "Yes, it's a form of witchcraft from Yoruzen. You've been poisoned by it, which is why you can't be close to me." "Yoruzen witchcraft? How could Adam have been poisoned with the Heartstring Venom? Who could have done this to him?" Hailey asked.
Celine turned her gaze toward Adam. "You already have a suspect, don't you?" "Did you figure it out?" Adam asked. ---- Aknowing smile crossed Celine's face. "You deliberately invited Carly to dinner and then stood her up just so she could witness all of this. You wanted to build her up, only to watch her ccrashing down. Deep down, you suspect Carly is behind all of this." Adam raised an eyebrow, surprised by how quickly Celine had figured it out. Her insight was spot on-she knew exactly what had been going on. Between two intelligent people, words often weren't necessary.
Celine understood him immediately. Without hesitation, she pulled out a silver needle. "Lethelp ease the pain with acupuncture." She gently inserted the needle into Adam's scalp. "Do you feel any relief now?" Adam met her warm, caring gaze as her hand rested on his forehead. Without thinking, he collapsed into her arms, burying his face in her soft hair. "As long as you're here, the pain disappears." Celine paused for a moment. She knew all too well the excruciating pain caused by the Heartstring Venom. She pulled him closer, wrapping her arms around him tightly.
"You fool," she muttered. "I'm sorry,, Celine. I know you waited forat the city ---- hall all day." "Adam, you should have told me." "The pain hit so suddenly and intensely. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced . I was afraid it might put you in danger, so I just couldn't bring myself to tell you." "Adam, I'm stronger than you think. Promiseyou'll always tellright away, no matter what. Whatever we face, as long as we face it together, there will be no regrets." Adam nodded firmly. "Okay." Hailey grew impatient and interrupted, "Stop with the sentimental talk.
It's obvious Carly's behind this. But how does she know about Yoruzen witchcraft?" Celine and Adam gradually pulled apart Adamom V.e tightening his lips into a firm line. "Carly's definitely not on her own.
There's someone orchestrating this." "Who's the mastermind?" Adam and Celine exchanged a knowing look. "We'll find out when we pay her a visit."
