After returning to the villa, Candice was still in a daze, unable to shake off the faint smell of disinfectant from the hospital in her mind.
Nausea.
Fear.
Various emotions entangled and surged up, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Alex's name on the registration book handed over by the nurse at the reception desk couldn't help but enlarge in her mind, and finally everything in front of her was rendered black.
Her mind filled with the cries of children and the sobbing of women.
Candice woke up from suffocation, and the daylight outside the window was still bright. She sat on the edge of the bed, her mind blank for a moment, and realized that it was only four o'clock in the afternoon.
When Hanley brought her back, it had already been around noon. Her mind had been a mess, and she had gone upstairs without saying anything and fell asleep in a daze.
She pressed her temples and got up to go downstairs.
To her surprise, everyone was downstairs, including Nadia and the others, even Yana and Jackson had come over.
Hearing her coming downstairs, everyone raised their eyebrows.
Yana looked at her, the pain in her eyes was genuine. "What's wrong? How come you've lost so much weight since last year?"
In fact, Yana's condition wasn't that good either. She was clearly thinner than before, and the dark circles under her eyes were very obvious.
She was too busy looking at Candice and completely forgotten about her own situation.
"Candice." Jackson's gentle voice sounded, and he asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Hanley said your mood was very bad this morning."
They all knew about the problem with the first prenatal screening. When Hanley brought Candice back in the morning, both of them looked worse than each other, so they didn't dare to ask too much.
When Candice heard Jackson's words, her body stiffened slightly. To be honest, she didn't know what to say.
But inevitably, she thought of the scene in the hospital again, and her body couldn't help but tremble lightly.
Yana clicked her tongue and directly pulled Candice to sit down. "Let me tell you, that hospital is no good. My aunt had surgery there before. It was clearly appendicitis, but they kept saying it was gastroenteritis.
"Listen to me, tomorrow I'll take you to another hospital. Let my cousin give you a check-up personally. She's an obstetrician and gynecologist, absolutely no problem!"
Yana had always been full of energy, as if these things were nothing to her.

Sieg walked into GT bar casually, stopped at a booth, and threw the car keys on the table. "No, why did you ask me to check those things for you? What's the matter with the hospital? I'm not familiar with it. If you want to check this, shouldn't you find Jackson? His family has many acquaintances in this area."
Alex sat there, looking very gloomy.
A wall lamp lit up above his head, which should have made his expression clearer, but now it seemed to highlight the tranquility and desolation of his dark eyes, as if covered with a layer of mist of a cold winter.
The loneliness in his eyes couldn't be ignored.
The casual expression on Sieg's face disappeared when he saw this.
He sat down opposite Alex. "What happened?"
Alex's eyes lifted slightly, his gaze cold as he asked Sieg, "When will there be results?"
"In three days," Sieg replied.
"Good." Alex nodded. His black eyes seemed like an abyss, carrying emotions that others couldn't see through. "No matter who did it, you have to tell me. Even if it's them, the same applies."
