Chapter 0199

Candice hesitated slightly. Her encounters with Alex had not been pleasant, and he had only just terminated her that morning.

She pursed her lips, suppressing the urge to turn and escape.

Unable to sense the undercurrents between them, Dr. Brooks, hearing his phone ring, picked it up and said. “If you still want to consult Dr. Sul, you can try seeking Mr. Elysian’s help. If you’re considering other doctors, I can also recommend some for you.” He turned to Alex. “Mr. Elysian, I didn’t mean to imply that you must do anything. It’s just that this young lady has been handling her grandfather’s matters. Please don’t take offense.”

Dr. Brooks finished speaking and then went outside to answer the phone.

Only Candice and Alex remained in the office.

Candice kept her eyes lowered, but she could still feel Alex’s gaze on her.

There wasn’t much to say. Candice knew it was unlikely that Alex would offer to help. There was no need to embarrass herself once again.

Thinking of Alex’s previous demands, Candice could not help but feel bitter. She took a deep

breath and turned to leave.

However, before she could take a single step, Alex’s voice, cool and melancholic, echoed slowly. It seems that your grandfather’s well–being isn’t as important as it appears. Candice, your ridiculous pride always appears at the wrong time.”

Candice’s steps faltered. She turned to face Alex, and straightened her back, meeting his gaze. “Is it my ridiculous pride, or have you not seen enough of me being a clown in front of you? Alex, I really don’t have time to play these meaningless games with you anymore.”

“Meaningless games?” Alex’s dark eyes showed no emotion as he looked down at Candice. “It’s you who failed to seize the opportunity.”

Candice stared at him.

For the first time, she felt Alex was shameless.

Was his idea of seizing the opportunity letting herself be manipulated like a toy, obediently enduring his humiliation?

Candice closed her eyes and spoke softly. “I don’t know what you want from me, but can you stop being so unreasonable and causing trouble at a time like this?

“You wanted me to move out, so I did. You wanted me to leave Aether, and I left. If there’s still something about me that doesn’t satisfy you, can you wait until my grandfather gets better to

discuss it?”

She genuinely did not have the energy to deal with these matters now. She was already hanging on by a thread. And she was afraid that at any moment, that thread might snap.
