Chapter 0050

Candice was lost in thought until her phone rang, snapping her back to reality.

It was Helen.

Candice furrowed her brows slightly; Helen rarely contacted her on her own initiative.

Hesitatingly answering the call, Helen’s commanding tone came from the other end of the line. “Come to Silverstone Hospital and bring some supplements.”

Upon arriving. Candice learned that Jasmine Carter, Jackson’s mother, had accidentally injured her arm and

needed to be hospitalized for observation.

Helen raised her eyebrows when she saw Candice and said, “Drop off the items; you can leave.”

Her tone was harsh, but Candice remained silent. Helen was Alex’s mother, and publicly or privately, she

couldn’t say much.

“Thank you,” said the woman on the hospital bed politely and gently as Candice placed the items down.

Shaking her head, Candice left the room under Helen’s urging.

As she stepped out of the ward, she collided with Jackson, who had hurriedly arrived.

Jackson was surprised to run into Candice here.

He steadied her and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Candice didn’t want to hinder him and stepped aside to let him in.

Jasmine’s ward was a single room. There was also a partition placed inside.

As Candice hadn’t left yet, she heard Helen’s sharp voice, “If there’s anything needed, let Candice handle it. She doesn’t have much to do anyway.”

Candice’s expression remained unchanged. When Helen called her over, she still had unfinished work. She expected that she needed to work overtime tonight to finish it.

“Candice?” Jackson also heard Helen’s words.

He comforted Candice softly before entering to see his mother.

Originally, he had wanted to invite Candice to dinner. However, Candice declined as she thought about the

work she needed to finish.
