The Wrong Woman

Chapter 960



Michaela had a team of professional caregivers and rehabilitation therapists looking after her around the clock. Yet, Candice remained concerned about potential complications.

"Let me stay with you tonight, Michaela," Candice suggested.

In a gentle tone, Michaela reassured her. "It's fine, Candice. You should head home and get some rest. I'm in good hands here."

Fenna immediately nudged Josie and gave her a meaningful glance.

Taking the hint, Josie said, "Mrs. Hoffis, I have tomorrow off. How about I stay over tonight instead?"

Michaela glanced at Josie and pondered briefly before replying, "Sure, Josie, stay with me tonight. We have things in common."

Candice pursed her lips awkwardly and stayed quiet.

Growing frustrated with Michaela's behavior, which seemed increasingly out of line, Elio took Candice's hand and said, "The caregivers are here with Mom, so you don't have to spend the night at the hospital. I don't want you to wear yourself out."

Candice managed a faint smile in response.
