My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 394

After returning to the hospital with Hanley, Candice was thoroughly examined by a doctor. After the check-up, Hanley insisted that she stay in bed.

Thinking about the events of the afternoon, Candice felt a wave of fear. She lay on the hospital bed, closing her eyes to rest.

After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Hanley, quietly reminding him. "Hanley, it's late. You should go back to the hotel and rest. Don't you have to meet with clients tomorrow?"

Hanley, who was pouring water, paused and looked at Candice, remaining silent for a moment.

Candice spoke softly. "If I need anything, I can ask the nurse for help. You don't have to worry."

They were just friends, and there was no reason for him to stay overnight. It would not make sense.

Candice pursed her lips, not hearing a response, and pondered her next words.

A glass of water was placed in front of her, and then Hanley's resigned voice sounded. "After dinner, I'll find a caregiver to take care of you and then leave. What are you worried about?"

Candice explained, "Because it's dark outside."

It was the beginning of winter, and the nights were getting darker earlier. It was only 8 o'clock in the evening, but it was already pitch-black outside.

Hanley said, "I'll go buy dinner."

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Sawyer came in with two meal boxes. He said seriously, "These are the meals ordered by the old man for you. They were sent to the hotel, but Mr. Elysian asked me to bring them to you."

Old Mr. Elysian had not missed a meal when it came to ordering for Candice and Alex.

Before Candice could reply, Sawyer placed the meal boxes down and made an excuse to leave.

Hanley looked at the meal boxes on the coffee table, his expression unchanged as he said, "It looks like I don't need to buy dinner anymore."

Candice nodded. "Let's make do with this then."

However, before they could start eating, Hanley received a call from a client who needed to verify some documents with him urgently.

Candice nodded. "Go ahead and do what you need to."

-

Hanley was too busy and could not get away from work, so he had to find a caregiver to take care of Candice before leaving.

Before leaving, he reminded Candice. "Don't move around unnecessarily, and don't let strangers into the ward."

Candice couldn’t help but ask, "Do you think I'm a kindergartener?"

Hanley looked at her. "If you need anything, call me."

Candice was touched by Hanley's concern, but even if he had not said those things, she would still be careful. She was already aware that someone was plotting against her. It was impossible for her to be unguarded.

With her mind racing, Candice got out of bed to have dinner. She still did not like eating in bed.

As soon as she got out of bed, another person entered.

"You can't sit still. Do I need to have the doctor check if you have ADHD?" A voice laced with impatience came from the door, and Candice looked up to see Alex standing there, looking at her.

She was a little surprised and asked him faintly. "Why are you here again?"

Alex's gaze fell on the meal boxes on the coffee table. "Wasn't it Sawyer who brought the meal boxes?"

Candice understood it then.

The meal boxes were ordered by the old man for both of them, and Alex had come over to have dinner. After all, old Mr. Elysian had Sawyer as his informant.
