My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 549

Although she didn’t wish to admit it, Candice really didn’t want Hanley to appear now.

She also didn’t know why. All she felt was that her mind was a mess and couldn’t make sense of anything.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the ward was stiff, Yana blinked and said, "While you’re injured these couple of days, I’ll come over to help you watch over Baby Mulberry. Coincidentally, I'm not too busy these days."

Candice nodded. Before she could speak, a glass of water was passed to her.

Hanley said, "You're still running a fever. Drink more water. I'll leave on tomorrow morning's flight. I have to go back to the hotel to handle some things. It's good to see you're okay." He said it calmly, as if it were nothing.

Candice hesitated for a moment, took the glass of water, and then said, "Sorry, it seems like I've troubled you again."

Yana watched their interaction clearly from the side, but she also knew that some things were better left unsaid.

Hanley didn’t stay long and soon left. Yana followed him out and said, "Didn't you say you were going to see your mother next week? Why are you leaving tomorrow?"

Hanley replied, "She's uneasy with me around."

Hanley was a perceptive person, of course he would notice Candice’s emotional changes. But he didn’t want to make it difficult for her, let alone let her suppress things in her heart while she was sick like this.

He stopped and looked far into the deep corner of the hospital corridor. His ink-like eyes filled with reluctance and regret.

But in the end, he didn’t say anything, just turned and left.

Yana watched Hanley leave with a hint of regret, but she didn’t say anything to Candice.

After all, she had her own mess to deal with, and matters of the heart were something only the parties involved truly understood. No amount of talk from others could change that.

-

Alex had a fever that night, and the doctor said it was a mild infection. After taking medicine, he was fine the next day.

But as a safety precaution, he stayed in the ICU for two more days before being transferred to a regular ward.

Now Yana couldn’t say anything cynical anymore. She just kept cursing Oscar. "Such people should really get their retribution. Haven't they heard that every wrong has a remedy and every debt has its debtor?"

Sieg asked with a cold tone, "That's well said. Since you believe in karma, why didn't you seek justice from Susan? Instead, you were bullied into resigning from the company. Yana, you really are "outstanding"."

Sieg was usually carefree and barely reliable at critical moments. Lately, however, he had been running around for Alex a lot.

Yana had originally come to keep Candice company, but she and Sieg kept bumping into each other. However, these two were just not compatible. Every time they met, they had to exchange a few sarcastic remarks before they could call it quits.

But Candice didn’t know that Yana had actually resigned from the company. She asked Yana, "Weren't you doing well at your dad's company?"

Yana pursed her lips. "Don't listen to Sieg's nonsense. I just wanted to try starting my own business. It's boring to stay at my dad's company every day."

Candice wanted to ask more, but seeing that Yana obviously did not want to continue this topic, she paused and said, "It's up to you to decide."

Yana said, "Speaking of which, I also plan to recruit you to work at my company. I'm planning to focus on medical beauty treatments, and it seems like the trend is quite good now."

She was serious. Beside her, Sieg immediately mocked her. "Don't you even know how to do market research for your start-up? Are medical beauty treatments even still a niche market? This trend is already a Grand Canyon."
