My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 499

Sieg didn't like to guess others' thoughts, he just felt that he was not suitable to stay here right now.

After entering the elevator, he sent a message to a young model he was dating. His family had recently started preparing for a forced blind date, and he estimated he wouldn't be able to have fun for much longer.

As a result, he ran into Yana downstairs, who was holding a child.

Sieg's steps halted. Yana had previously mentioned that the child was her illegitimate daughter.

He walked over to Yana. "Yana, when did you start working as a nanny on the side?"

Yana, annoyed at seeing him, retorted, "None of your business."

He didn't want to argue with her either. He was about to leave. However, just before leaving, he took his first good look at Ellis's appearance.

His gaze paused slightly, and then his brow furrowed more and more.

Seeing him staring at Ellis, Yana became alert. "Why are you staring at us?"

Sieg retracted his gaze, hiding his shock. "Nothing, just looking at Candice's child. After all, we're old friends, so I should give a present, right?"

"Who cares about your gift, it's dirty," Yana muttered, quickly taking Ellis upstairs.

Alex's wound reopened again, so he had to stay in the hospital for a few more days. Due to tea, it became infected, and he had a fever.

Candice still called Sawyer and she didn't leave until he arrived.

Yana only found out about this later and asked while holding Ellis, "What should we do? Are you still leaving now?"

Candice had previously said that she would leave Dorrington City when Alex was discharged from the hospital, but now he was back in the hospital again.

She remained silent.

But Yana could already guess the answer. Candice had a strong sense of responsibility; she would always remember that Alex had been injured while protecting her. So, without seeing Alex fully recovered, she probably couldn't make up her mind to leave for the time being.

Alex's injury once again alarmed Shawn. Previously, Alex was afraid that Shawn would worry, so he didn't let anyone inform him, but this time, he couldn't hide it because of Helen's fuss.

Candice didn't know the details, but she heard that Shawn personally transferred all the shares in his hands to Alex and demoted Oscar's position at Aether Corporation.

-

The day Shawn called, Candice had just finished talking to Hanley. Hanley was returning to Dorrington City the day after tomorrow.

Shawn said he wanted to meet her. She agreed and went directly to the hospital to find him.

However, the problem was that Yana was busy with work these two days and couldn't help take care of Ellis. She could only grit her teeth and bring Ellis with her to meet Shawn.

Sure enough, when Shawn saw Ellis for the first time, his eyes widened. "Is... is she who I think?"

Candice didn't answer but instead asked, "You said you wanted to see me for something. What is it?"

Shawn had originally wanted to talk to Candice about Alex's injury and the problem of William, but now, seeing Ellis, who looked almost exactly like Alex when he was a child, he couldn't remember those things anymore.

He looked at Ellis in astonishment and seemed both excited and incredulous.

Candice was prepared for this, so she remained calm.

After Shawn's huge surprise, he fumbled around in his bag for a gift but couldn't find one. In the end, he simply took out a bank card Bruno had prepared and handed it to Ellis. "Good child, good child, this is Grandpa's gift for meeting you."

Candice wanted to stop him, but Ellis had already taken the bank card as a toy, looking very happy.

Shawn asked Candice, "What's her name?"
