My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 467

Daniel raised his gaze, his eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized Alex.

Under the illumination of the crystal lamp above his head, Alex's cold white skin seemed to exude endless chilliness.

He lowered his gaze to look at Daniel, his face devoid of any emotion. "If you are satisfied, then stop your dirty tactics."

Daniel's gaze sank momentarily, but Alex had already turned around and left.

As he passed Helen, he glanced at her briefly, then continued on his way without looking back.

Behind him, Daniel's voice suddenly rose in anger. "What attitude is that?!"

Helen covered her lips, laughing lightly in mockery. "I don't know what attitude he has, but it's surprising to see you willing to put down your pride and threaten a girl younger than your own son. Isn't that embarrassing?"

Daniel's anger shifted to Helen. "You understand nothing!"

"Yes! I understand nothing, but that's better than you. Do you know why Alex is like this? It's all because of you. Like father, like son!"

The argument inside the room erupted once again. Outside, Alex leaned against the parked car nearby, silent. If not for the faint spark of light by his fingertips, he would have blended into the night.

Alex didn't smoke much, but the cigarette burned between his fingers, and the scent of nicotine slowly climbed up until it enveloped his brow, concealing the coldness in his eyes.

Candice went with Yana to the hospital for her examination. She also told Yana about what happened in the hospital, where she was taken to the abortion clinic by the nurse.

With a solemn expression, Yana asked Candice a chilling question. "Can you be sure that your examination report hasn't been tampered with?"

Candice was startled, and the tension in her mind snapped. Something slowly became clear to her.

Lately, she had put almost all her focus on the results. She hadn't even thought about the details. Now she carefully considered the aspects she hadn't thought of before.

The two exchanged a glance, both harboring suspicions.

After the examination was completed at Yana’s cousin's clinic, Yana accompanied Candice to the previous hospital.

Originally, they had intended to find the doctor who had conducted the examination, but they found out that the doctor was on vacation.

Candice called him twice, but there was no answer.

It had been a long time since the New Year, and Candice's work on Redshade Corporation hadn't progressed.

The official launch of Redshade Corporation was scheduled for early next month, and Candice had thrown herself into work.

Since finding out that Hanley had made the lemon candies himself, Candice had found it strange to eat them. As a result, two candy jars had been added to the living room and study, and she was the last to find out about them.

Ryan asked Hanley several times where he bought the candy, but Hanley didn't answer.

Candice couldn't help but ask him, "Why don't you just tell Ryan that you made them yourself?"

Hanley sat by the window with a design drawing in front of him. His bony fingers held a pencil, the tip touching the paper, leaving a small gray line.

He looked up, his eyes gentle and calm against the warm hue of dusk. His lips curled up slightly. "Why should I tell him? It's not for him."

Candice was taken aback. Before she could speak, she saw Hanley stand up.

He coughed softly and added, "It's for Baby Mulberry."

In the afternoon, Yana came over with a not-so-good complexion, constantly glancing at Candice.
