Candice had just reached the operating waiting room when her phone rang.

It was a call from Jackson. His voice was urgent when she answered. “Candy, I’m currently away

on business and just heard about Joe’s operation. How’s everything?”

Candice hadn’t been in contact with Jackson due to her busy schedule. She reassured him.” Everything is under control.”

He added comfortingly, “Don’t worry too much. All’s well that ends well. He’ll pull through.”

Candice thanked Jackson but soon lapsed into silence.

After a moment of reflection, Jackson said, “I’m sorry, Candy. I’m never around when you’re in

trouble.”

“This is something I need to take care of on my own,” Candice said.

“I feel like a bad friend,” Jackson acknowledged bitterly, mentioning his hectic schedule with

family business.

Unsure how to respond, Candice simply told him, “You shouldn’t worry.”

“Just before leaving. I asked Hanley to keep an eye on you. Reach out to him if you need anything. “Jackson advised before ending the call due to his busy schedule.

brushed aside the thought.
