Chapter 0270

The hospital corridor was a hive of activity.

A wave of fear washed over Sonia when she saw Alex’s stoic face, and she held back the words on the verge of her lips. It was the first time she had witnessed such fury in Alex, his intimidating presence keeping others at bay.

Her heart tightened when she remembered Candice’s words. She summoned the courage and said, “Lex…”

Alex turned toward her, his stare plercing.

Alex’s gaze remained stern as he nodded solemnly, instructing in a deep voice, “The doctor has advised a CT scan. Go ahead.”

Alex’s steely gaze met his and prompted, “What is it?”

Alex had been blunt, and his words had made Candice’s eyes fill with pain.

Greg hesitated before continuing, “Candice is also injured. I saw her grasping her arm. I s she’s in pain. You speak so harshly, and she is a girl after all.”

Before Greg could finish, Alex interrupted with a frosty tone, “Sympathizing with her?”

Greg hastily clarified, “No, just stating what’s fair.”

“No one needs you to be fair,” Alex sharply dismissed. His expression was icy, the darkness in his eyes and the tightly pressed lips betrayed his foul mood. His attitude was unmistakably callous.
