Chapter 0082
Even when Candice had reached the hotel, she wasn’t feeling any better. That was why she didn’t notice the atmosphere between Alex and Sonia.
After letting them know, she then returned to her own room. She didn’t switch on the light and sat in the room for a long time. Then she gave Yvonne a call.
Yvonne was probably busy at the time. She was still gasping for air when she picked up the call. She didn’t even realize that the person calling was Candice and simply asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me.” Candice said as she stood by the window, looking at the pouring rain outside. When Yvonne heard her voice, she was stunned. And then, she asked hesitatingly, “Why did you suddenly call me?”
There were very few mothers who would ask their daughters why they would call them in such a respectful
tone.
Candice closed her eyes and faced the room that was filled with darkness. “Nothing. Just want to know how you’re doing lately.”
Yvonne stopped, becoming somewhat embarrassed as she mumbled, “Not that good. Peach is in the hospital
again.”
Upon hearing her tone, Candice fell silent.
Yvonne then carefully probed her. “How are you doing lately, Candice?”
Candice then said with a stiff expression, “I’m on an out-of-town assignment in Stugan City.”
“Oh, you’re on a work trip,” Yvonne said and then asked, “Can you transfer me some more money? Peach,
she…”
“Her father was asking me for money.” Candice didn’t let Yvonne finish and cut her off.
She turned around and pushed open the window, letting the wind and rain inside. She then asked, “Did you give him all the money I gave you in the past?”
Yvonne explained bitterly, “What else can I do?”
Candice hung up, suddenly feeling helpless.
All these years, she had given Yvonne a large sum of money, thinking that Peach was still so little, and that
Yvonne was her mother.
Who could have known?
Candice felt her head hurting. She slowly went to wash up before going to bed.
