There were plenty of people coming and going in the hospital corridor. Candice felt more relaxed after getting some time to catch her breath.She didn’t want to say anything else to Alex and simply went to the restroom.Luckily, there weren’t many people there. She stopped by the sink and then looke
Hanley gave an okay.Once out of the ward, Candice immediately walked over to the emergency stairs.Yvonnne followed her and asked, “Candy, where are we going?”Candice stopped. She took in a deep breath before turning and looking at Yvonne, her voice cold and decisive. “I’ll pay for Peach’s medical
Candice only left her room when it was nighttime. She had little appetite, so she hastily bought and ate something before going back to the hotel.Yvonne didn’t look for her again, but she didn’t have the time to micromanage her.Only after she took a shower did she see the message from Marc, who sh

Candice’s tone was somewhat bitter.Meanwhile, Alex’s side had slowed down. He asked her in an eased tone, “What, you’re asking me on her behalf?”While his tone was mocking, Candice felt a little relieved. At least Alex didn’t loan Yvonne the money.She looked down and said, “Don’t loan her any mon
Candice’s grandfather wasn’t doing well. He looked at Candice with half-opened eyes and couldn’t say another word after a long time.The dean then reminded Candice from the back. “He kept on calling for you after he woke up.”Candice tucked in her grandpa’s blanket and said, “Rest well. You can tell
Yvonne was obviously stunned. After a moment of silence, she said, “I don’t.”“You don’t?” Candice repeated it once more, but she couldn’t even feel her emotion anymore. She simply asked Yvonne, “When you asked him, have you ever thought that he might be unwell?”Yvonne mumbled, “He never told me he

For the next few days, Candice brought lunch to Alex, even though it was all prepared by Alex.Candice found it a bit bothersome, but Alex seemed to enjoy it. It just so happened that both she and Yana had been meeting clients in the same area lately, so it was convenient to fulfill Alex's little wi

Alex's expression was gloomy as he stared at the necklace. "What’s with this gift? She’s a kid. What if she swallows it? It's a choking hazard! Let’s return it."Candice calmly took the necklace and placed it back in the box. She said to Ellis, "We'll give it to you when you grow up."Ellis, innocen
When Sieg called Alex to invite him for a drink, Alex was shopping for Ellis’s clothes with Candice. He had several little dresses draped over one arm as he dutifully assisted Candice.Sieg's voice was loud, causing Candice to pause in her selection of clothes and turn to Alex. "If you have somethin
Candice was brought back to Alex's own home. She felt like a puppet with no thoughts of her own and could only follow Alex's lead. Her mind was blank, and her body was weighted down as if filled with lead.Alex guided her into the study. "I wasn't planning on showing you this so soon, but after try
Candice felt nothing. She asked with a stiff tone, "If I do what you say, will you stop following me around and stop targeting Hanley?"She had to admit that she had invested too much time in Alex; she was once innocent and carefree, but she was just confused now. Recalling the past, Candice felt n

Candice had always known that Alex had a sharp tongue, but she never expected him to use Hanley's mother to jab at his wound.They all knew that Hanley had gone abroad this time because his mother was not doing well.She trembled slightly, but she was unsure if it was out of anger or if she was remi
