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

Chapter 0490

Hanley's trip took a week. In the beginning, he contacted Candice and talked about his mother's situation.

As time went by, he seemed to get busier and his contact with Candice lessened. Work at the studio was also all passed to Ryan.

Yana asked Hannah about the situation. She said that their mother had jumped from the roof without the doctor's attention due to her mental health problems and had hit her head. The situation was serious.

Although Candice was worried, she didn’t dare to ask Hanley for fear of disturbing him.

But she had calmed down now. Looking at the decorations she had arranged in the room and the big hearts painted on the wall, she felt embarrassed.

She was really out of her mind to do what little girls with a crush did, and hurriedly found a cleaning company to come over and tidy everything away.

In March, Candice finally planned to return to Dorrington. Hanley still had not returned, but he had recently resumed contact with Candice. However, every time he called Candice, she could hear the tiredness in his voice.

When Candice wanted to return to Dorrington, she had to take Ellis with her. Ellis was now almost a year old and could already call Candice 'mother'.

Candice recorded a video before she left, and stored it in her cloud drive.

Yana came to the airport to pick them up when they arrived in Dorrington. When she saw Ellis, she hugged her and said, "Little Mulberry, let me give you a kiss. I have been severely beaten by this society."

Ellis turned her head, disgusted.

It happened to be the weekend, so Candice entrusted Ellis to Yana's care, and then went to see her grandparents’ graves.

She didn’t expect in such a short time that something terrible could happen.

Yana's call was urgent. "Come to the hospital quickly, Baby Mulberry is injured!"

Yana was also angry and anxious. Originally she had wanted to take Ellis home directly, but she hadn’t expected to be contacted by a bar owner, informing her that they had something of hers she had left behind previously.

She had decided to go and collect her belongings then leave, so she went in with Ellis. Inside, she had unexpectedly bumped into people engaged in a drinking contest.

The two drunkards had gotten into a fight, and in the chaos, Ellis was hit on the forehead and had a cut on her little arm.

Yana blamed herself so much that she apologized instantly when she saw Candice. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken her to that place. I thought there wouldn't be many people there."

Candice didn’t bother to comfort her, and just looked at Ellis sleeping on the bed. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The little girl was pale and delicate, and any wounds on her body were particularly conspicuous. There was a gauze on her forehead, her eyes were swollen from crying, and there were tears hanging on her eyelashes. She looked very pitiful.

Candice asked Yana, "Where are the two people who got in the fight?"

"They're negotiating with the police in the office," Yana said. "The police want the family members to come over. I'll take care of Baby Mulberry here."

When Candice opened the office door, she first smelled an extremely unpleasant smell of alcohol, and then saw a very arrogant foreigner.

Looking closer, she recognized it was William.

The rich heir who had thrown fireworks at her in the snowy mountains.

She said in a deep voice, "I am Ellis Renault's mother. If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

William looked at her, and then looked contemptuous. "It's you again?" He stood up with a chuckle, then took out a bank card, threw it on Candice, and said a little irritably. "There’s two hundred thousand on it, that's about it. Don't waste my drinking time with my brother."

Candice's expression darkened visibly. She glanced at the bank card that had fallen at her feet. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the door of the office being pushed open again. Sieg's voice came before anyone else, "William, can’t you calm down for a while?”
