My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s)

Chapter 0495

When Candice found Yana, her face was pale and her eyes full of fear as tears hung at the corners of her eyes.

Candice's voice was trembling. "Where's Ellis?"

Yana was squatting on the ground, crying. "William, William took Ellis away!"

Both Candice and Alex's expressions changed. Candice's head was spinning, and she almost lost her balance, staggering backward, but Alex grabbed her.

His expression was grim as he lowered his voice, and said, "Why would William take Ellis?"

"I don't know,” Yana cried. “He just asked me why Candice wasn't around and then said he wanted to take Ellis to play. He just grabbed her from my hands." Yana was also scared. The way William looked at Ellis was like he was looking at a pet.

Candice closed her eyes, trembling all over. She pushed Alex away. "I'll go find her. Do you have William's contact information? He must be trying to retaliate against me."

But before she could take two steps, someone forcefully restrained her. Alex held her elbow tightly, his voice tense. "Do you know where he is now?"

Candice looked at him. It was difficult for her to calm down now. She tried hard to break free from Alex's grip, her voice hoarse. "Let me go! I need to find my daughter. It's my fault for provoking William, not hers!"

"But you need to know where William is first." He still didn't let go. With his other hand, he quickly dialed Sieg's number.

Candice was still struggling, but after hearing what Alex said, she slowly quieted down, although the fear in her eyes remained.

She dared not imagine what would happen if something happened to Ellis.

Looking at her distraught appearance, Alex's emotions surged in his black eyes.

Sieg answered the phone quickly, saying that William was about to go to Everdeen Mountain.

Everdeen Mountain was their nickname for a nearby mountain because the roads there were winding and bumpy, making it a favorite spot for thrill-seeking rich kids to race.

When Candice heard that William had taken Ellis to Everdeen Mountain, she couldn't help but think that he was truly insane.

-

They hurried over, and when they arrived there, they could hear Ellis crying from a distance, mixed with the laughter and swearing of a group of people.

William leaned against a convertible sports car, smoking, and the wind blew the smoke toward Ellis.

Someone said, "William, why did you bring a kid with you? And you're still taking her for a car ride. Isn't that too scary?"

William didn't care. "What do you know? It's about building courage from a young age."

Candice's heart jumped, and she sprinted over as Ellis was buckled up in the passenger seat, crying hoarsely.

Candice was about to explode with rage. She didn't care whether William was crazy or not. She took a deep breath and pushed aside the several people surrounding them, heading straight for the

car.

She didn't care about anything else and pushed William away. She bent down to unbuckle Ellis from her seat belt. "Baby, don't be afraid. Mommy's here."

Ellis kept crying. Candice comforted her while trying to undo the seat belt, but seeing Ellis's terrified appearance, she couldn't help but tear up.

Candice’s eyes were filled with tears, making it impossible to see clearly, and she couldn't even undo the seat belt.

"Damn, it's you again, you bitch!" William bellowed, glaring at Candice, and moving to kick her.

A bottle of water smashed into his leg before he could. He sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain, cursing, "Fuck!" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"William, this is Dorrington City, not South City. If you don't want to stay here anymore, I don't mind sending you back," Alex's cold and intimidating voice sounded, and he stared at William with icy eyes.

William didn't have much contact with Alex and had always relied on Sieg to make connections. Sieg had reminded him many times not to provoke Alex.

And when he met Alex's gaze, he sobered up a bit.

He could tell that what set Alex apart from this group of rich heirs was his more intense aura, accompanied by a stronger sense of oppression. He was truly someone with means.

Seeing William had remained still, Alex turned to look at Candice and Ellis beside him.

Both the mother and daughter were crying.

The coldness on his face dissipated, and he reached out to undo Ellis's seatbelt, preparing to take the child out.

However, Candice reacted faster than him. She hugged Ellis, her eyes still red with tears, and whispered, "Can you lend me a hand?"

When she saw Ellis, her legs went weak, making it difficult for her to exert any strength. Steady hands supported her shoulders and helped her stand firmly.

The rich heirs around them exchanged glances, too intimidated to speak. Until an angry voice erupted. "Damn it! Have I given you all the face to act so recklessly in front of me?"

William, who had just been bending over nearby, suddenly jumped up, his face twisted in anger as he rushed toward them.

Candice saw a flash of silver in his hand. Almost instinctively, she pulled Ellis closer to herself.

A black figure swiftly moved in front of her, wrapping her in shadow.

Screams echoed around them, and Candice felt the figure in front of her tremble.

A faint smell of blood began to reach her nose...

William had stabbed Alex in the back. He didn't hit any vital organs but Alex was bleeding a lot.

-

When they arrived at the hospital, his face was pale. It was the first time Candice had seen him like this.

When William stabbed toward them, Alex had immediately hugged Candice and Ellis, using his back to shield them from William.

Candice sat outside the hospital room. Ellis had already been examined and was sleeping in her arms. She held Ellis, her face somewhat blank.

Alex was inside the hospital room, but she didn't know whether to go in or not.

Helen rushed over in a hurry. When she saw Candice, she had an unpleasant expression and cursed "unlucky" before going straight into the hospital room, slamming the door forcefully.

Yana said, "Why don't you go back first? Ellis was also frightened. It's better to rest at home." She was also very surprised that Alex had taken the stab for Candice.

Now looking at Candice in such a distracted state, she really didn't know how to comfort her.

Candice felt the same way. Her mind was in a mess. It might not be good to stay.

-

The Elysian family insisted on no reconciliation with William over the stabbing. After all, this was Dorrington City. Even if William acted against the law in South City, he couldn't compare to the Elysian family here.

Moreover, William had used drugs before the street race. It would be troublesome for the Zanford family to clean up the mess.

Alex had been in the hospital for three days, and Candice still hadn't visited by Friday when he called her.

His voice sounded a bit weak. "I thought you had returned to South City."
