Chapter 0269

Things happened abruptly. Sonia was taken to the hospital for treatment after her clothes were torn and the thug left multiple scratches on her hand.

Given the situation, Candice felt compelled to stay. She accompanied them to the emergency room, where Alex accompanied Sonia inside the examination room while Candice remained

outside.

Candice experienced discomfort at her shoulder where she was bumped.

Just as she was about to head out, Greg asked, uncertainly, “Where are you heading?”

Gently moving her arm, Candice replied, “I’m going to the orthopedic department.”

Unaware of her injury. Greg questioned, “Are you injured too? Why didn’t you mention it earlier?”

Candice’s gaze dropped as she contemplated whether she could have spoken up. Who would she have told? Sonia was preoccupied with her tears, and Alex was busy consoling her. Would her speaking up have made any difference?

Noting Candice’s silence, Greg sighed softly and said, “Lex and I were just leaving the hospital when we heard the sirens. Lex seemed very upset.”

Candice finally responded, “So he suspects that I had a hand in this?”

Greg appeared slightly embarrassed but countered, “Not necessarily.”

However, Alex’s reaction was extremely clear.

Candice internally scoffed at herself, recognizing that even Greg could perceive Alex’s suspicion

of her.

As the examination room door swung open, Candice’s train of thought was disrupted.

Greg quickly stepped forward and asked, concerned, “Is everything all right? How are you feeling?”
