My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 552

Candice was not surprised that Darius was in town, because he had mentioned that he would come.

What Candice was surprised at was that he had come to the hospital.

The situation with the Quimby family in Solaris was the talk of the town in their social circle. It was rumored that the second young master of the Quimby family was incompetent and had a gambling problem. He had offended the wrong people, leading to a major crisis for the Quimby family.

Fortunately, the boyfriend of the Quimby's third young lady stepped in during the crisis and stabilized the situation. With his efforts, he had managed to turn the tide for the already failing Quimby family.

Everyone was praising the Quimby family for finding such a good son-in-law, and they all spoke highly of Darius's loyalty and righteousness.

Candice did not know the truth of these rumors, but she was certain that the Quimby family was now completely under Darius's control.

As for the second young master of the Quimby family, Candice had only met him once at a banquet, and her impression of him was not very strong. She just remembered him as a spirited young man.

Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts for Candice. As she pondered with her eyes lowered, Darius had already entered with Bella.

He seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Candice said, "The sofa is there, please take a seat."

Darius glanced around the ward but did not sit down. Candice noticed that he had been holding Bella's hand the whole time.

She did not know what was happening with Bella either. She looked thin and pale, but not in a sickly way. Candice noticed that she kept biting the bottom of her lip and had a vacant look in her eyes. She asked with lowered eyes, "Miss Quimby, are you feeling unwell? This is a hospital, so you can get checked while you're here."

Darius also looked at Bella. Bella forced a smile and spoke softly, "Thank you, I'm fine. I just didn't rest well last night."

Although Candice could sense something was off, it was Bella's own business. Candice did not ask further and looked at Darius instead.

Darius said, "You can return to the country at the end of the month. Things here are almost settled."

Candice had also wanted to talk to Darius about returning to the country, and now that he had brought it up, she was naturally willing.

"I remember that you're friends with Jackson?" Darius asked casually, but Bella beside him seemed noticeably nervous. Candice did not say anything and Darius continued. "Don't be so nervous. I'm just curious how he managed to steal my things behind my back."

The tone of his words was uncomfortable to hear. Candice frowned and asked,. "Did he offend you?"

Just as Darius was about to speak, Bella stopped him hurriedly. "Darius!"

Darius was slightly stunned.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at Bella, who whispered, "I'm sorry, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Her complexion was not good. Darius glanced at her and then said to Candice, "Send all of Edmund's information to me, and someone will contact you for the rest of the information."

"I said I wouldn't work anymore after finishing this project."

Darius did not care. "As you wish."

He took Bella and left. Candice watched Bella's stiff figure and frowned subconsciously.

Darius led Bella out of the ward building and stopped in front of a clinic downstairs.

Bella looked at the sign indicating a psychotherapist and asked Darius, "Why did you bring me here?"

Darius smiled lightly. "You've been having insomnia these days, so I brought you here to get checked."

Bella tried to pull her hand back, but Darius held it tightly. She could only explain, "I'm fine, I don't need to see a doctor."
