The rain continued to pour. Without much thought, Vicky hung up the phone and rushed out of the door.Aurora was drenched from head to toe. When Vicky saw her, she was sitting by the entrance, shivering from the rain."Miss Starling." Vicky took in Aurora's disheveled appearance. "What are you doing here?"Upon hearing Vicky's voice, Aurora raised her head in surprise; rainwater trickled down her fair face, giving her an air of desolation and vulnerability."Vicky, you... You actually came out?" Just now, when Vicky hung up, Aurora thought Vicky would ignore her, so she did not expect Vicky to appear in front of her face.Vicky could have refused Aurora's request to stay, but seeing Aurora completely drenched, she could not bring herself to heartlessly turn her away.In the end, she let out a soft sigh. "It's cold outside. Why don't you come in for now?"...After they entered the house, Vicky settled Aurora in a guest room and found a set of unworn clothes for her."You shoul
She used to feel sorrow, guilt, and even hope for Tyler in the past, but when she thought they could start anew, he heartlessly casted her aside.Although she had not completely let go of the situation just yet, she no longer held any expectations or dreamt unrealistic fantasies about him.The look in Vicky's eyes was familiar — it was reminiscent of their heartless breakup years ago.A glint of coldness flickered in Tyler's eyes as he strode towards her menacingly.The rain outside intensified, with the drops hitting the transparent glass created a dull thudding sound.The already dim room felt even dark as he approached. This caused Vicky to instinctively take a few steps back.It suddenly occurred to her that Aurora was still in the guest room and if Aurora came outside to find Tyler here, Vicky would not be able to explain herself well.On top of everything, Tyler had been provoked and was capable of doing anything, so Vicky could not help but panic.Seeing her retreat, his
When Tyler ignored her warning, Vicky finally snapped and cast all senses aside.She gripped the knife with all her might and stabbed Tyler in the chest.Blood trickled down the knife and slowly tainted his white shirt.Tyler seemed to believe that Vicky would not harm him and did not make any effort to dodge her attack.He lowered his gaze to look at the knife that was buried into his chest.Just then, footsteps approached the kitchen and Aurora strode inside. "Vicky, do you have a spare hair band I can- Ah!"As soon as she stepped foot into the kitchen, a shrilling scream came out of her mouth.She hurriedly walked up to Vicky and took the knife from her hand. "Vicky, put that knife down immediately!"All her rage was put out, and Vicky suddenly snapped back to reality.When she saw the knife sticking out of Tyler's chest, her eyes widened and her face turned pale.Her lips trembled, but she stood frozen in place, unable to speak.Aurora, in a panic, searched for her phone
Avoiding Aurora's gaze, Vicky muttered, "Miss Starling, Tyler and I-"Before she could finish, the door to the operating room was opened and Aurora's attention was diverted to something else.She hurried over and asked, "Doctor, how's Tyler doing?"The doctor removed his surgical mask and said, "He's fine, but the wound runs deep so make sure he doesn't let water come into contact with his wound. He's not allowed to do extreme sports and has to watch what he eats for a while."Aurora sighed a long breath of relief. "That's good."Shortly after, Tyler was pushed outside the room on a bed and Aurora followed him to his designated room....After Tyler settled into his hospital room, the effects of the anesthesia wore off, and he regained consciousness.Aurora, seeing him wake up, exclaimed with joy, "Tyler, you're finally awake!"Tyler's gaze flickered as he looked at the woman in front of him. His expression grew distant, and his gaze swept around the room.Aurora noticed it a
Vicky thought Aurora was worrying about explaining the situation to Tyler and said, "I will personally explain everything to him tomorrow. You don't have to worry.""It's not about that. It's..." Aurora seemed unsure of how to phrase it and ended up saying, "Can you come downstairs? You can take a look at it yourself."'Downstairs?' Vicky thought and was about to ask for further clarification when she realized that the call had already been disconnected.Puzzled, Vicky descended the stairs and almost slipped when she spotted Tyler and Aurora sitting on the couch.Fortunately, she was near the bottom of the stairs, so the fall was not too severe.When Aurora saw her stumble, she quickly got up from the couch to help her up.However, the man beside her moved even quicker, striding toward Vicky and picking her up in his arms.Seeing Tyler and Aurora at her house was already shocking enough for Vicky, so the fact that she was being carried by Tyler in front of Aurora shook her to he
He continued in a low voice, "You should take responsibility for what you did to me. From today onward, you will have to take care of me until my wound recovers."She snapped her head around to gape at him. "That's ridiculous! Why would you-""Aurora and I will be staying here until I get better," he answered."I won't agree to that!""I'm not asking for your approval," he said decisively.At this moment, Vicky wished that she had stabbed him to death so that she would never have to deal with him ever again."You just don't know how to leave me alone, don't you??"Tyler shot her a look and mocked, "You severely injured someone. Did you not think about the consequences before doing it?""Arrest me for my crimes and send me to prison, then.""What, have you developed a taste for prison now?"Vicky said coldly, "Between having you stay here and going to prison, I'd rather choose the latter."Seeing the clear rejection and disdain in her eyes, Tyler's dark eyes gradually turned
"I can see for myself if something is going on between you two and decide if he is worthy of my hand in marriage! It'll be like killing two birds with one stone!" Aurora said.Vicky did not know if all noble ladies who grew up under their parent's watchful eyes behaved this way. As she stared into the innocent look in Aurora's eyes, she said, "Did you not see the way Tyler was holding me just now?""That's because you fell," Aurora said. "You were injured and couldn't walk. Wouldn't it be normal for him to help you up?" She chuckled innocently. "Doesn't that show how much of a caring person he is?"Vicky was rendered speechless and realized that hinting that something was wrong would not work.Vicky took a deep breath and decided to be honest. "Miss Starling, there's something... I want to tell you.""What is it?" Aurora asked curiously."Tyler and I... We're not completely separated... I... I..." Vicky found it difficult to put into words. Finally, she mustered her courage and s
By the time she returned to the living room, both Tyler and Aurora were gone and she assumed that they had returned to their rooms.Vicky’s confession and reluctance did not stop them from staying in her house....Since she could not get them to leave, she decided to remove herself from the situation instead.She packed her belongings and decided to travel overseas to visit Cece and Jennifer, all the while saying she was to do research about migrating overseas.As soon as she booked the ticket, she received a call from the airline company."Ms. Shaw, I'm terribly sorry, but there's some issue with your documents and we can't accept your purchase. The payment has already been refunded. Please clarify any issue with your personal documentation before purchasing another ticket."The airline company did not give much information, but Vicky instantly knew who was responsible for all of this. After all, only one man was capable of such a thing in Zendonia.She set her phone down and
