Chapter 71
Candice stood there for a while before nodding. “Understood.”
She spoke emotionlessly, her lips pale. Her gaze at Alex gradually grew calm.
Candice smiled and said dryly, “I’m sorry. I was overthinking.”
Alex looked at his phone without caring too much.
After a moment, he looked at her and asked, “Do you need me to take you back?”
He originally had other ns at night, but they had no choice but to return to the hotel for some rest
now that
Candice was hurt.
Candice knew Alex’s temper. If he really wanted to take her back, he wouldn’t have asked.
She waved her injured hand and said, “It’s fine. I’ll call a cab.”
Alex wanted to say something else, but his phone rang. He looked down at it, and he slowly frowned.
Candice looked at his expression. After standing there for a while, she left.
She was not feeling very well, so she was walking away slowly. After making a turn, there was a bus
stop, and
she stopped there.
She was in the Pioneer Park area, and it was mostly private vehiclesing to and fro. Candice was
not in a hurry to get a cab, and she simply sat on the bench and looked at the cars quietly.
She believed that she might have jumped the gun and she had overestimated herself. She thought that
Alex
was still the same.
However, people could change in the end.
When Candice reached the hotel, it was almost five in the evening. She had not even managed to sit
down
when she saw Yvonne was calling her.
Yvonne had been calling her a bit too muchtely. She couldn’t help but think about her suspicions.
Candice grabbed her phone and walked over to the balcony. There was something that she wanted to
verify with Yvonne.
However, when she picked up the call, it wasn’t Yvonne’s voice. It was the brutish and aggressive voice
of a
man.
“You’re Yvonne’s daughter?” The man asked without hesitation.
Candice’s expression cooled. “Who are you?”
“I am her man! Your mother owes me 10,000. You will pay me back on her behalf!”
Candice was so angry that her hand that was holding the phone was shaking. Her voice was extremely
cold as she said, “Get her to pick up the phone.”

The man clicked his tongue and said, “I brought that waste of space to the hospital. Your name is
Candice, right? You’re responsible for paying your mother’s debt. Now, pay me! I have something else
to doter!”
Candice quickly calmed down and said, “She’s married to you now and Peach is also your daughter.
She wouldn’t owe you money for treating your daughter.”

“Enough. If she didn’t give birth to such a useless thing, I wouldn’t have wasted so much money.” The
man said as he refused to listen. Instead, he spoke louder and louder. “I’m not wasting my breath with
you. Yvonne said that you eam a lot. If you won’t pay for it, I can look for her father. He’ll pay for his
own daughter’s debt,
right?!”
When she heard the man talk about her grandfather, Candice’s frosty expression became even darker.
He had been teaching his whole life and his health had been an issue as he grew older. If he heard
about this. she wasn’t sure just how angry he would be.
When the man didn’t hear Candice’s response, he began cursing again. Candice was getting upset, so
she decided to hang up.
However, the man’s threats still rang in her mind. Candice was worried that he would go and find her
grandfather but wasn’t sure how to tell him about that.
While her grandfather hadn’t said a thing, Candice had identally run across him a few times when
he would simply stare at Yvonne’s photo.
Candice gave her head a massage. Yvonne was her mother, in the end.
Even if she didn’t bear much of the responsibility of being a mother, Candice could still remember her
figure when she cooked in the kitchen every time she came home from school when she was still little.
