The Divorce Prescription

Carly had done it to herself.

Still, Adams reaction had been visceral seeing her injured leg, especially knowing she was the lead ballerina.

Inside the VIP suite of the hospital, Carlys leg had already been treated by the doctors.

Adams expression tightened as he asked the doctor, Is her leg injured badly? Will this affect her ability to dance in the future? The doctor reassured him.

Alvarez, no need to worry.

Fortunately, its only a light wound.

There was no damage to the muscles or bones.

As long as she rests properly, shell be able to return to dancing without issue.
