Chapter 0205

Over the next two days, Candice’s routine revolved around trips between the hospital, Northdale,

and the villa.

Meanwhile, Hanley and his team were engrossed in work–related matters.

Candice learned from Ryan that their dealings with Dream Search were proving difficult, as the

company was actively liaising with various departments.

Although she was eager to assist, everyone discouraged her involvement, knowing she was already occupied with her grandfather’s issues.

Nadia reassured her, “Don’t worry, it’s a minor issue. Our boss will take care of it.”

Recognizing her current constraints, Candice refrained from commenting further.

She hadn’t been in touch with Alex lately, not out of a lack of desire to approach him but because she didn’t know what to say.

Candice had workers in Northdale fixing the pipes when Dr. Brooks summoned her to see him in

the hospital.

The old neighborhood suffered from inadequate infrastructure and poor management due to a dwindling resident population.

Work during the day was manageable, but the evenings were challenging, particularly since the

streetlight at the building entrance was broken and the area was dimly lit.

Before heading to the hospital, Candice obtained the property manager’s contact information from

the community office.

At the hospital she had to finalize the details of her grandfather’s surgery.

After mutual agreement on the surgery, Dr. Brooks had coordinated with Chad, setting the surgery to be carried out on Friday.

Chad and other doctors, including two of his students who had flown in from other cities, were waiting for her in Dr. Brooks’s office when she arrived.

She quickly masked her expression and apologized for her late arrival due to traffic congestion.

Chad’s expression was stern as he scanned Candice briefly but he didn’t express any displeasure.

“The patient’s medical report is ready. His age and the unclear blood clot in his brain present a

challenge,” he said bluntly.

Candice listened attentively. She knew Dr. Sul was an expert, but she wanted to make sure that everything had been done to assure her grandfather’s safety.

“I understand,” she stated solemnly. “I simply hope you can give it your all.”

“I’ll fulfill my responsibilities, but let’s be realistic. Every surgery bears a risk
