Chapter 296

Candice did not respond to old Mr. Elysian’s words. She brought the old man to a nearby restaurant

and had lunch with him before returning to the hospital. He barely ate anything during lunch and from

his expression, his mood was not great either.

He had wanted to bring up Alex a couple of times, but Candice had calmly blocked him. Shawn was

hesitant, but no longer mentioned it.

The results of the check–up were still in the hospital. After having lunch, Candice brought Shawn

back.

As they passed by the emergency room, the doctors and nurses were busy and it was a little noisy.

Candice didn’t look as they passed, but the old man glanced inside.

Old Mr. Elysian’s results from the examination were not problematic, just that he was unaccustomed to

the climate. Furthermore, the time difference meant he was struggling to rest well. The doctor

instructed him to return home, stroll a little more and rest well.

Candice accepted the prescription the doctor handed over to her. “I’ll go and get the medicine first.

Bruno, please bring Grandpa over and wait for me.” The old man did not have much energy. so he

nodded before leisurely following Bruno over.

Candice held the prescription and as she was about to hand the list over to the pharmacist, she heard

a soft voice behind her. “Lex, drawing blood hurts.”

A deep, cold voice comforted her. “Just this once.” It was Alex.

“But I’m still very scared. You know me.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Candice paused and she lowered her gaze. She did not look around, acting as if she had not heard

Sonia’s voice. She had no idea that she was easily recognisable from behind.”

Sonia noticed Candice and came over. She just could not stand seeing Candice living better than she

was, and she could not stand how Candice always had a look as if Sonia was beneath her.

Since she started working in Aether, it had always been like that. Perhaps it was a woman’s sixth

sense. From the first time she saw Candice, she knew that she just could not get along with her. She

had subconsciously rejected Candice. Especially when she had heard others talking about the

relationship between Candice and Alex in envious tones, she had felt even more

uncomfortable.

Why were some people so brilliant, as if all the good things in the world should fall on them?

But now, the glow on Candice had disappeared. More than that, Candice was not doing as well as she

was now. After all, she was now Alex’s girlfriend.

Sonia’s emotions moved slightly, and she rubbed against Alex’s arm affectionately, then walked.

towards Candice. “Candice, what a coincidence,”

Candice turned around without any expression on her face. Her gaze fell on Sonia’s other hand, which

was held up high, with a piece of cotton wool on it.

Her other hand was firmly pressed against Alex’s body. Alex’s black eyes were cold and deep, and his

face was indifferent.

Candice’s gaze swept across his face and she said. “There are eight dispensing counters. It’s quite a

coincidence that you came here specifically to queue.”

Sonia frowned. Her face also seemed to be pale, and she looked at Candice. “I just wanted to come

over and say hello to you.”

Candice didn’t know whether Sonia was just trying to mingle and chat, or if she was trying to show off

her relationship with Alex. A hint of mockery flashed in Candice’s eyes. She looked at Sonia coldly and

indifferently. “Are we very close? Is it worth you coming to me specifically to say

hello?”

“I…” Sonia was unable to answer the question. She pointed where her blood had been drawn.”

Candice, I just came out of the emergency room. The doctor said I should avoid getting angry. I just

saw you and wanted to say hello to you. You don’t have to look at me like that. And you were just with

old Mr. Elysian. Lex and I came over to ask about his situation. After all, he is Lex’s grandfather.” The

hint of concern and struggle appeared on her fair face, but the light in her eyes could not be ignored.

“Actually, you shouldn’t have been troubled about this today. If old Mr. Elysian is not feeling well, it

should be Lex and I who should come. Why should an outsider take. care of him? Besides, Candice,

you are not even an employee of Aether anymore.”
