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
Vicky walked over to Tyler's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response.She tried again, and the outcome was the same.She had learned her lesson before and decided that she would not enter the room unless Tyler came to the door.Another ten seconds went by, and Tyler had yet to respond.Just as Vicky was about to leave, the door burst open and Tyler appeared in a bathing robe.Vicky's brows furrowed the moment she saw him. "Were you taking a shower?"She noticed that his hair was still damp."What's wrong with doing that?""Don't you know that you aren't supposed to shower shortly after the surgery?""I do," he said casually. "I didn't let the wound come into contact with water."Vicky wanted to say something, but then she realized that she was a nobody to Tyler anymore, and she had no right to interfere with his actions."Miss Starling called you several times, but you didn't answer. She's really worried about you, so she asked me to check on you," Vicky expl
Tyler sneered. "When I try to talk to you normally, you don't listen. You only respond when I resort to forceful methods. Does it make you uncomfortable when I'm being kind to you?""That was you being kind to me?" Vicky stared at the man's handsome face, which was just inches away. "You think saying a few words in a normal tone is considered being kind to me? If that's the case, don't you think your kindness is too cheap?""Cheap?" Something seemed to have struck Tyler's mind, causing his steps to suddenly halt. His previously indifferent expression turned icy and cold as frost. "Hasn't my kindness always been the cheapest thing in your eyes?"People never cherished things that come too easily, and that was something Tyler had known all along. That was precisely why he swore to never be kind to her again.Tyler carried her into the bedroom and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.Just as Vicky was considering whether or not to tend to his wound, his chilling voice echoed from
She took out her phone, and it was Elijah calling."Vicky, are you free later? Grandma misses you.""I am." Vicky did not want to be in the same house as Tyler and said, "Come pick me up.""Okay."...40 minutes later, Elijah's car stopped at the front gate.Vicky dragged her suitcase and walked out of the mansion. Just as she reached the door, she ran into Aurora, who had just returned from an audition.Aurora looked surprised seeing Vicky with her suitcase. "Vicky, where are you going?""My fiance is taking me to the Harrisons' house for a few days.""To the Harrisons' house?" Aurora's expression changed slightly. "Vicky, have Tyler and I been bothering you?"Tyler's injury was caused by Vicky, and logically, she should take responsibility for it, but she couldn't rest peacefully under the same roof with them."No," Vicky said slowly. "His grandma is getting older and needs someone to take care of her in every aspect. That's why I'll be going there to take care of her for
