Chapter 0234

Candice had already spent twenty minutes in the emergency department when Hanley arrived.

His face was serious, his brows creased with concern. “How are you feeling? Where did you get

hurt?” he asked.

Candice had gone to the hospital to keep Joe’s company, but she was waiting outside the emergency room. Evidently, she had been injured.

Despite having taken pain relief, she was still experiencing a persistent ache in her shoulder.

Under the stark hospital lighting, her face appeared unusually pale, and her lips lacked their usual

color.

“I’ve got

a slight fracture in my shoulder,” Candice said.

Hanley’s eyes narrowed. “Was it him who caused this?”

Candice avoided answering directly. She slowly stood up, grabbing her medication and medical report. “I’m not in a position to drive right now, could you please drive me home?”

Her mood was low.

Hanley’s stare lingered on her briefly before he offered his hand. “Give me your things, I’ll carry

Realizing there was no need to act tough, Candice handed over her belongings and followed Hanley to the parking lot.

He courteously opened the car door for her, and Candice, with lips tightly pressed, got in.

Closing the door gently, he hesitated a little before he offered, “Let me fasten your seatbelt.”

Considering her limited mobility, Candice nodded in agreement.

As he leaned in to assist, Candice could faintly smell a refreshing hint of peppermint on him. It was different to Alex’s colder aura. Hanley’s fragrance was more soothing and clean.

Hanley maintained a respectful distance throughout. Once the seat belt was fastened, he quickly leant back.
