Chapter 1141

Tyler scowled at Vicky. “You’ve starved yourself the whole day, and this is how much you’re eating?” He

moved the spoon closer to her lips once again. “Eat more.”

Seeing his displeasure, Vicky forced herself to eat, and Tyler eventually stopped when he noticed that

Vicky was truly full.

“Vicky, what are you trying to do this time?” he asked abruptly.

“What?” she asked in confusion.

He stared into her eyes. “Why are you being so obedient now? Are you waiting for me to let my guard

down so that you can run away with Lincoln?”

Vicky’s expression darkened; she had not forgotten why she ended up sick in bed.

She looked up to meet his piercing gaze. “You get mad when I disobey you, yet you get upset even

when I obey. Tyler, what do you want?”

She was groggy when she had just awakened, so she maintained a cold attitude toward Tyler.

However, as she gradually regained her clarity, she considered her situation and realized that she had

no right to be rude toward Tyler.

A woman’s capriciousness and temper would only be shown in front of those who cared about her.

Since Tyler simply did not care about her, she was abused and violated upon

enraging him.

Having come to this realization, Vicky constantly reminded herself that since she could not get away,

she should comply with him as much as possible to make her life a little easier.

Vicky did not understand why Tyler still seemed unhappy.

They stared at each other for a long while before Tyler averted his gaze expressionlessly, got up, and

took the bowl away.

Vicky studied his back, and confusion appeared in her eyes.’ Did his work not go well today?’ she

thought.

After Tyler checked Vicky’s temperature and found nothing abnormal that evening, he finally felt

relieved.

After personally feeding Vicky her medicine, Tyler lifted the blanket beside her and was about to get

into bed.

Vicky was taken aback and instinctively said, “No, I can’t… Not today.”

Tyler could clearly see what she was thinking and gritted his teeth. “I’m not interested in sleeping with a

sickly woman like you.”

As he prepared to lie down beside her, Vicky tensed and her gaze remained cautious. “But… Why,

then?”

If it were any other day, Tyler would not bother explaining anything to her. However, the situation was

different as

NSZ

Vicky was still sick.

“I slept here the whole time when you were sick. Is there a problem with that?” Tyler said in a cold

voice.

“Can you not sleep here?” Seeing his worsening expression, Vicky added, “I’m afraid of infecting you.”

Vicky’s excuse was too feeble, and Tyler sneered. “I’m not afraid of that.”

With that, he lay down beside her and pulled her into his embrace.

Vicky stiffened but remained still, fearing that she would get hurt again.

Tyler seemed oblivious to her unease and quickly fell asleep after holding her. During Vicky’s

unconsciousness, he had not slept well a single day, and exhaustion washed over him with her in his

arms.

After Vicky realized that Tyler was truly asleep, she tried to escape from his embrace. However,

everytime she moved slightly, Tyler seemed ready to wake up. After struggling for a while, Vicky ended

up sweating but could not break free from his embrace. Soon enough, Vicky gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Tyler opened his eyes. With sufficient sleep, most of his exhaustion dissipated. He

glanced at the woman sleeping soundly against his chest, and the gloom in his heart lifted slightly.

He lowered his head, instinctively wanting to kiss her forehead. However, in the split second before his

lips touched her forehead, his expression suddenly changed.
