My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 0232 

Candice didn’t know how much strength Ivor had used, but her shoulder was in excruciating pain, and that whole side of her body was weak. 

It was hard to imagine just how badly she would have been injured if the punch had hit her in the face as he had intended. 

“What are you looking at? What does it have to do with you? I’m not looking for you right now!” 

Candice was bent over from the pain, but she heard Ivor’s words. 

She bit her bottom lip to stop herself from crying out in pain, and raised her eyes to look at Alex. 

Alex looked cold and elegant where he stood. He looked at Ivor, his face not revealing any 

emotions. However, when Ivor met his gaze, he shuddered inexplicably. 

Candice looked at Alex’s figure, panting, and spoke with great difficulty. “Alex, can you wait for a 

while before leaving?” 

Just speaking made her shoulder hurt more, and she completed the sentence very slowly. 

She feared that Ivor would get back up, and her situation was bad. If Alex was willing to wait for a 

while, she would at least be a little safer. 

Alex heard her words and did not move. 

After a while, he looked aside slightly and saw that his jaw was very tight. 

Candice guessed he didn’t want to stay. She lifted her phone. “I’m going to call the police. You just have to wait for a little while.” Her lips were pale and bloodless. 

Alex looked down at her. “How miserable.” 

Candice smiled self–deprecatingly. Deceived by her own mother, and beaten so badly by her step- father. And now she was still begging Alex, just so she could feel braver. 

She was indeed miserable. 

Although Alex said this, he did not leave, however. 

Candice felt relieved, but her shoulder hurt so much that she couldn’t help but gasp a couple of 

times. 

The hospital security arrived before the police. They asked about the situation, and then 

restrained Ivor. 

He was still groaning, his expression full of pain. When he looked at Candice, however, his eyes were filled with shocking hatred. 

The police soon arrived. Although they were outside the lobby, there was still a surveillance camera and it was determined that Candice had acted in self–defense. The police briefly took down her contact before leaving. 

As it all happened, Alex remained by Candice’s side, saying nothing. 

After the police led Ivor away, Candice looked at him and said softly. “Thank you.” 

Alex’s expression remained icy, and he did not reply to Candice. His expression was serious as he reached out and touched Candice’s injured shoulder. 

Piercing pain surged through Candice, and she grimaced. 

Alex scoffed. “I thought you had lost all sense of pain.” He walked off. 

Candice stood where she was, the pain growing unbearable. 

Alex stopped up ahead. He turned and looked back at Candice. “Do you need me to invite you to 

the ER?”
