Chapter 0252

When Hanley burst into the room, Candice stood frozen, and her face was unnaturally pale. She maintained the posture of making a call, but her phone lay on the floor.

“Joe Sundance’s family, please come to Silverstone Hospital as soon as possible to handle matters regarding the patient’s body-” the speakers said, their words echoing off the glowing phone screen.

Upon hearing this, Hanley’s eyes shifted to Candice.

On the other hand, Candice’s expression remained expressionless and blank.

Sensing his gaze, she looked at the fallen phone. Then, she slowly crouched down, picked it up, and asked with a trembling voice, “Did you dial the wrong number? When I went to the hospital yesterday, my grandfather was fine.”

“Is this Ms. Candice? The contact information you left at Silverstone Hospital is this—”

As the voice on the phone continued, Candice was still processing the situation. Clutching the

phone, she sat on the floor, eyes filled with confusion.

“Hello? Is this Ms. Candice-”

The voice echoed again in the phone, and Candice gradually came to her senses. Hanley reached

out to pull her up, but she shook herself free, stood up, and walked out.

Her mind was blank with the voice from the phone repeating in her head.

Joe Sundance’s body?

Who was he?

He was… Grandpa, right?

But Grandpa was fine.

How could he suddenly… die?

As she stumbled down the stairs, she was so disoriented that she couldn’t make out any sounds

until someone grabbed her wrist.

Hanley yelled out, “Candice!”

Only then did she slightly snap back. She mumbled, “Is there something wrong? I need to go to the hospital now. My grandfather is waiting for me. Can’t it wait until I come back? I’m sorry, truly
