Chapter 0238

Joe was not aware of Yvonne’s visit. His spirits weren’t as high as they used to be, and his eyesight had deteriorated.

Candice spent some time in his hospital ward, but he didn’t notice her emotions.

Candice thought about Peach as she departed. She realized that her sister’s condition was far worse than when she last saw her in Noxville.

She quickly dispelled the thought. She reminded herself that she was not responsible for Peach’s

well–being.

Candice called for a designated driver to take her home. Once she arrived, she followed Yana’s instructions to call her.

Yana had returned home and sounded somewhat down over the phone..

“What’s wrong?” Candice asked.

“It’s not a big deal. My dad is pressuring me to get married again. It’s so annoying. He acts as if I can’t find a husband myself,” Yana complained..

She often vented about her family’s attempts to push her into arranged meetings.

Candice listened without offering any comments, but Yana eventually remembered to ask about

the hospital situation.

Their talk was brief, and they quickly ended the call.

Candice wasn’t able to go out much because of her injury. When Hanley came to visit, he encouraged her to stay at home and not worry about work.

“I can’t be of much help right now, it’s true,” Candice admitted, lowering her gaze wearily.

“Your main priority is getting healthier,” Hanley reassured her.

“Hanley, I don’t think I have much to offer the studio.” Candice said casually.

Candice was filled with a mix of emotions. When she had first informed Hanley that she wanted to work in the industry, she was full of confidence. However, she had been unable to make a
