My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 521

He did not even give her the most basic trust, the trust to share risks with him. What protection was he talking about?

Did he not feel it was ironic?

After Candice finished speaking, Ellis happened to whimper in the room. She got up and went back to her room. Just before pushing the door open, she stopped and said calmly, "If you're feeling better, leave."

Alex did not know how he got back to his room. His mind was filled with Candice's words.

The feelings between them had long been severed and could never be repaired...

Alex raised his hand to his forehead, hiding the pain and struggle in his eyes.

In fact, Alex had known her even earlier than Candice thought.

In this world, how could there be so many coincidences? They were all merely part of someone's plan.

In Candice's memory, their first meeting at the cafe was the result of Alex waiting there for over a month for a heavy rainstorm.

Alex remembered it even more clearly than anyone else. The day he first met Candice happened to be the summer solstice.

He was in the hospital with Helen, who was admitted for emotional distress after a fight with Daniel, during which she had directly slit her wrist.

The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, which was oppressive. However, Alex had smelled this kind of odor many times since he was young. Whenever Helen had intense arguments with Daniel, she would either jump off a building or bang her head against a wall. It seemed that she always needed to shed blood to calm her explosive emotions.

Alex had intended to open the window for some fresh air, but he saw a figure sitting in the small garden below.
