My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 387

Due to inertia, Candice subconsciously reached out and grabbed his arm. Alex shot her a cold glance, then stood up as well.

He stood behind her, his palm securely supporting her arm to prevent her from stumbling again.

The two of them were close enough for her to feel the movement of his chest when he spoke, his deep voice tinged with coldness.

"Your so-called fatherly love is truly eye-opening."

Henry was fuming when he heard that, but upon making eye contact with Alex, he trembled slightly.

He then shifted his gaze back to Candice before regaining his fierce demeanor.

He sternly reminded Candice, "What are you talking about, Candy? Do you think I'm doing this for myself? I'm doing it for your own—"

Their conversation was interrupted by the opening and subsequent forceful closing of the private room door.

Unable to bear it any longer, Candice pulled Alex out of the room.

Henry's self-righteousness had left her speechless. This feeling was even more unbearable than when Yvonne came to look for her.

Once Candice was out of the private room, she walked briskly to the hotel lobby before stopping.

She clutched her chest, feeling as if it were stuffed with cotton, making it difficult to breathe.

She only realized she had been holding onto Alex's arm the whole time when she slowly regained her composure.

Alex remained silent as he stood beside her.

Slowly releasing her grip, Candice heaved a sigh and uttered softly, "I'm sorry for tonight..."

She tried to organize her thoughts but found herself at a loss for words. Eventually, she swallowed what she wanted to say and just frowned in contemplation.

After a moment, she spoke up again. "Go back to the hotel. If Henry comes to look for you again, just make it clear to him."

The matters between her and Henry were indeed none of Alex's concern.

Alex's eyes flickered, and he looked deeply into Candice's eyes.

"Make it clear to him? Even if I tell him everything, do you think he'll stop bothering you?"

Candice unconsciously raised her gaze to meet Alex's.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and she could see the darkness in his eyes.

Candice didn't know how to respond to Alex's words. In fact, she agreed with what he said.

Considering Henry's actions so far, it was hard to imagine what he might do next. It probably wouldn't be much different from what Alex had said.

Candice didn't want to think of Henry in a negative light, but he was no longer the same man she used to know.

She moved her lips, intending to speak, but she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.

Her face turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Alex immediately noticed Candice's subtle change in expression as she held her stomach.

Realizing what was going on, he reached out to support her shoulder, his tone resolute as he said, "Sawyer is outside. We’ll take you to the hospital."

Candice didn't refuse. She knew that something was wrong with her body, and she couldn't take it lightly especially now that she was pregnant.

Fortunately, it was not during the rush hour, and the trip to the hospital took little time.

Sawyer had arranged for a private hospital, where Candice underwent various examinations.

The nurse took Candice back to the room to rest after all the procedures, and that was when the doctor came with the examination results.

These days, Candice had been tensed and unable to rest well. Combined with the fatigue and emotional turmoil, she needed proper bed rest to ensure the safety of her unborn baby.
