My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 518

When Alex was in the country, he was busy with company matters, almost always staying at the company, maintaining a high-intensity work schedule without taking a break.

Later, he rushed over here overnight to find Candice, got caught in the rain in the extremely humid forest yesterday, and even gave his coat to Candice. He stayed up at night listening for any movements from Candice's side, hardly getting any rest at all. So, it was inevitable that he had fallen sick.

Candice looked at the thermometer, feeling a headache. It was a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius.

Alex sat on the sofa opposite, his eyelids drooping, probably due to his feeling unwell. He seemed to have lost his usual aggressiveness, appearing very obedient.

Candice reminded him, "You have a fever. You should go to the hospital."

Alex's dark pupils reflected her figure. This time, he did not make any excuses to stay but got up, took his coat, and hoarsely said, "I know, a fever is contagious. Little Berry has no resistance. I'll leave first."

He was over 1.8 meters with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, making him look very sexy, but Candice inexplicably felt that he seemed thinner.

As Alex reached the door, he covered his mouth and coughed softly twice. Then, he looked at Candice apologetically as he said, "Sorry, couldn't hold it back."

Candice took a deep breath, watching his face, which had become even redder in a short time. She said coldly, "There's an empty storeroom. Don't come out into the living room unless necessary, and you're not allowed to be in contact with Ellis."

Alex's cough stopped. He glanced at Candice, but she had already carried Ellis and was slowly walking toward her room.

The fist that had been covering Alex's mouth fell, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Although Candice had allowed Alex to stay, she did not want to have much contact with him and spent the whole afternoon in her room.

When the sky completely darkened, there was a knock on the door. Alex's voice came from outside, asking her, "It seems like there are no groceries at home. Should I go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and cook, or should I order takeout?"
