Vicky stared out the window wordlessly, and Tylerâs expression darkened at her silence.
After a while, Tyler turned to leave.
He made sure that he walked slowly, yet Vicky stared dazedly outside the window with no intention of
stopping him from leaving.
Slam! The door slammed shut behind Tyler as he stormed out.
Shortly after he left, someone knocked on the door.
Angela walked over to Vicky respectfully. âMissus Hart, Mister Hart has ordered me to take care of
you.â
Vicky glanced at Angela, who used to take care of Lincoln.
From the first day when Angela arrived, Vicky knew that Angela worked for Tyler, and Lincolnâs allergic
reaction was likely caused by Angela at Tylerâs order.
After about an hour, the doctors came in to examine Vicky. Vicky noticed that the female doctors who
came to examine her were different from the ones yesterday and asked curiously, âWhat happened to
the doctors from yesterday?â
The doctor smiled and explained, âYou had a high fever and were unconscious, so Mister Hart brought
in a team that specializes in reducing fever. Now that youâre awake, the
first phase of treatment is complete. Weâre here to assist in your recovery during the second phase.â
The doctorsâ explanation was reasonable, and Vicky thought nothing of it.
The entire day passed without Tyler returning.
It was only when Vicky was about to fall asleep in the evening, thinking that Tyler would not come back,
that the door to the room opened.
Angela stood up from her chair. âWelcome back, Mister Hart. n
âYeah.â The imposing man took off his coat and said indifferently, âGo rest.â
Angela nodded at Vicky and quickly left the room.
Although Vickyâs phone had been confiscated, Tyler did not prevent her from reading.
After reading all day, Vicky was ready to go to sleep.
She did not spare a glance for Tyler upon his return but turned over, facing away from him.
Even without looking at him, Vicky could feel Tylerâs intense gaze on her.
After a few minutes, the sound of footsteps echoed in the room as Tyler went to take a shower. Once
he finished, he lay down next to her, pulling her into his embrace.
Vicky thought that Tyler would give her the cold shoulder for a few days, but he did not do so.
Vicky did not have the energy or the will to struggle.
The next day, after Tyler took care of Vickyâs morning routine, he left again. She assumed that he was
busy with work lately, as Tyler had been coming and going late into the night for three consecutive
days.
Under the doctorâs care, Vickyâs body gradually recovered.
One day, when Vicky saw Angela opening the door to pick up lunch, she got out of bed and prepared to
open the curtains.
Just as she reached for the curtains, Angela entered the room with the lunch tray.
Seeing Vicky standing by the window, Angelaâs expression changed drastically. The tray slipped from
her hands, crashing to the ground.
Surprised, Vicky turned around and noticed Angelaâs strange expression. âWhatâs wrong, Miss Hill?â
Angela instantly snapped out of it.
