Chapter 72


    At the time, Yvonne would always grab a te of fruits from the cab for her after she heard her


    and said to her gently, “Dinner’s ready soon.”


    Candice’s thoughts were drifting, and she lost herself for a while. Only after sitting on the sofa for a


    while did she remember that she had to give Jackson a call, asking him to keep an eye on her


    grandfather at the nursery


    home.


    Jackson agreed to it naturally, and Candice felt much better. “Thank you.”


    “It’s nothing. My mom’s going to get her review done tomorrow too.” Jackson didn’t mind that much.


    Instead, he asked, “How are things between you and Hanley?”


    Candice told him honestly, “He’s a good person.”


    Jacksonughed. “That’s great. Hanley treats his friend well.”


    After her right hand was injured, everything became inconvenient. Candice couldn’t ask anyone else to


    help her, so she had to do everything herself slowly.


    The next morning when she went downstairs, she identally walked into Alex and Nina.


    The two of them weren’t in the best of moods. Candice paused a little before going over and asked


    Alex, “Can I


    take the day off?”


    Alex looked at her bandaged hand. “Does it still hurt?”


    There wasn’t much emotion in his tone, as if it was just an interaction between a boss and his


    employee.


    Candice looked down. “Yeah, it’s a bit itchy. I want to go to the hospital to get it checked.”


    Alex looked at the bandaged hand for a moment before nodding. “Sure.”


    Candice then asked the receptionist to call for a taxi and waited outside the door. It was not until her


    figure had left the hotel door did Nina ask Alex, “Are you going to ignore what your mother said?”


    Alex’s dark eyes looked at him as he let out a coldugh. “Nina, I hate people who think they know


    better than anyone. The only reason I allow you toe along with me is because of your mother. I


    have never allowed


    you to interfere with Aether or my family matters.”


    Nina’s face was slowly bing paler. She wanted to exin, but Alex had already started to leave.


    He stopped after taking two more steps and turned around to look at Nina. “Don’t contact my mother on


    your own, and don’t follow me again. You’re very annoying.”


    Alex immediately left after saying that, leaving Nina behind, who looked shaken.


    Meanwhile, Candice entered a cab outside the hotel door and went to a nearby Level 1 hospital.


    The swelling on Candice’s hand didn’t recede much. The doctor put on some more medicine but no


    longer bandaged her hand with gauze, simply asking her to pay more attention.

    She waited for the medicine in her hand to dry off before slowly leaving.


    Coincidentally, she had just left the department and ran into Hanley at the hospital lobby directly.


    Hanley was also holding a number in his hand, and the two of them were both stunned.


    Candice started the conversation first. “Why are you at the hospital again?”


    “The wound’s infected, so I came to get it re-bandaged,” Hanley said with a frown, looking very


    ufortable.


    Candice furrowed her eyebrows and then raised her arm. “Same here.”


    The truth was that the clinic was unreliable. Hanley’s hand swelling was even more terrible than

    Candice’s in appearance. She went with him to get his dressing changed before asking. “Why didn’t


    youe over yesterday when you’re not feeling well?”


    Hanley said, “I was too busy yesterday and didn’t realize it.”


    “That busy?” Candice couldn’t help but look at Hanley’s injury.


    “Yeah,” Hanley said. “My personal assistant had an emergency and had to go home, and I couldn’t find


    anyone to help in such a short time.”


    And then, he raised his chin, letting Candice see the dark circles under his eyes.


    Suddenly, Hanley gave her a nce with those seductive eyes of his. “Do you want to try?”
