Chapter 0030

Candice breathed carefully while standing in front of Alex’s desk. She stared at the man for a while and then said slowly. “You promised me to take care of my grandfather.”

When Candice first brought Alex to meet her grandfather, he promised that as long as she continued to follow him and be an obedient girl, he would take good care of her grandfather.

Candice did a great job. She had always been good but Alex eventually lost his patience with her.

It was from many years ago, so long ago that even Alex had to think long and hard about this ever happening. He asked, “Have I said something like that before?”

Candice looked down. “If you don’t remember, then just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“Go back to work. If I have the time, I’ll visit,” he said,

He did not provide an exact answer and Candice stopped asking.

However, after work, Candice waited for him at his office for an hour but he was nowhere to be found.

When she arrived at the hospital it was already dinner time.

Joe had dinner and was reading a book on his bed.

He put his book down when Candice came in. “Taken your dinner?”

Candice had not eaten but she nodded. “I came after I ate.”

Joe shook his head. He sounded stricter than usual as he said, “Candice, don’t you lie to me. You look temible. You haven’t eaten dinner,

have you?”

He then opened the drawer next to his bed and took two pieces of cake out for her. “The teacher from the school got me these in the

afternoon. Have some.”

“Oh, Alex Joe trailed when he gave Candice the cake.

Candice instinctively took the cake and said, “He’s busy. There’s been a big client recently and he’s working overtime.”

Joe was stunned. He then looked at Candice strictly and said, “Candice, tell me. Did you have a light with Alex?”

Candice said, “No.”

“If not, then why do you keep saying he’s busy when I mention him.” Joe did not believe her. He added softly, “Alex came by this afternoon. I was wondering why you were not with him.”
