My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 551

After Candice returned to the ward, she did not say a word about what had happened at Alex's ward.

But her eyes were bloodshot, clearly from crying a lot. Yana was worried and angry. "Did Alex bully you again?"

"Don't mention him anymore in the future,” Candice said. “I've made things clear to him, and we won't owe each other anything in the future."

Yana was stunned for a moment. "Wh-what do you mean you made things clear, you guys..."

"Not you guys, I am me. He is him," Candice said. "I will apply to be transferred back to the country after some time."

Yana sighed. "Why bother? Since there is no possibility between you and Alex, why are you so distant from Hanley? Don't you know how terrible I felt when I saw his back as he left that day?"

Candice hesitated. "I can't hold him back."

"What do you mean by holding him back?” Yana asked. “Hanley is so good. You should hold onto him tightly."

"It's precisely because he is good." Candice shook her head. It was because Hanley was too good, that she could not bring herself to hold him back.

He was so good, he deserved to have someone who could like him wholeheartedly.

And not someone like her, with a heart broken into unrecognizable smithereens, with traces of patching up all over.

Candice felt that this would not be fair to Hanley.

Seeing her like this, Yana did not know what to say. Instead, she took Ellis out and let Candice rest in the ward alone.

-

Candice's high fever had subsided, but she still had a slight fever. The hospital advised her to stay for another two days for observation.

Yana still brought Ellis to see her every day, along with news of many other people.

Like Helen.

Yana said that after the incident with Daniel, Helen had been living at the Sui residence. She also mentioned that Helen and Daniel had divorced and that she had recently gone abroad.

Yana said, "From what my mom implied, Aunt Helen probably won't return to the country. No one expected that the pair whom everyone regarded as a model couple would end up like this."

Daniel and Helen had always been praised as the most admirable couple in their circle, at least on the surface. They always appeared respectful, loving, and harmonious. Who would have thought that there were hidden secrets behind them?

"What you see is only what others want you to see," Candice said.

Yana glanced at her and probed. "Did you know he has had a high fever since last night?"

It was obvious whom she was referring to.

Candice looked at Yana, and Yana touched her nose. "Sieg came to see me this morning and said Alex's condition isn't very good. He didn't cooperate during the medication change and refused to take his medicine. He just stares into space every day. Finally, last night, he gave himself a high fever."

Candice lowered her eyes. "If he doesn't care about his own body, what can others do?"

Yana looked at Candice with a complex expression. Of course, she would not mention that Sieg came to ask her to inquire if Candice could go and see Alex.

So she changed the subject and said, "Sieg asked if he could bring Baby Mulberry up to see Alex, just for a moment. He wants to give Alex something to take an interest in. After all, he is ill now. If this continues, who knows what might happen."

Yana was careful with her words. She thought Candice would refuse, but she agreed unexpectedly. "Okay, Ellis is his daughter anyway."

"Are you alright?" Yana asked.

"What could possibly happen to me?"

Yana was conflicted. "Don't you mind?"
