"Oh my, she's finally awake!" the doctors exclaimed.Tyler Hart nodded gently. "Examine her."The doctors surrounded Vicky and began the examination. Half an hour later, they finished the check-up.One of the doctors said, "Her temperature has gone down, and she has completely regained consciousness. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any major issues. However, her body is still weak at the moment. If she accidentally catches a cold or drafts, her condition could easily relapse. She needs to be extra cautious. Also..." The doctor hesitated, struggling to find the right words as she glanced at Vicky, and then at Tyler.Tyler's voice turned slightly cold. "What else?"Seeing that Tyler seemed displeased, the doctor confessed, "During this period, you should avoid any intimate activities..." After stealing a glance at Tyler, the doctor whispered, "The high fever Missus Hart experienced was caused by the previous inflammation in her private area... So, until she fully recovers, I'
Tyler only meant to kiss Vicky and did not have anything else in mind.As he looked into the fear in her eyes, he laughed angrily. "Vicky Shaw, do you really take me for an animal?"Terrified of provoking him, Vicky did not say a word, but Tyler could easily tell from the wary look in her eyes that she did think of him as an animal.He clenched his fists but managed to suppress his anger in the end and got up. "Rest. I'll get you some food."With that, he strode off in a hurry as though worried he might hurt her again if he stayed another moment.Tyler could distinctively sense that he was losing control over his emotions....Half an hour later, Tyler brought the meal he personally prepared. The bodyguards stationed at the door greeted him respectfully before opening the door for him.When Tyler was not around, he always arranged for bodyguards to guard the entrance.Upon entering the room, he found Vicky was not asleep but staring blankly out the window, lost in her thoughts
Tyler was frustrated at how cold Vicky was toward him but could only remain calm as he landed her in this position in the first place.He bent down and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek. "I will be back soon."Vicky remained silent.With a final glance at her, Tyler turned and stepped out of the room.After closing the door behind him, Tyler said to the guards outside the room, "I need to leave for a while. Call a few more men over to guard the room. No one is to step foot inside without my permission, understood?""Yes, Sir."After a moment of hesitation, Tyler added, "Vicky is not allowed to leave the room either."The guards nodded in unison. "Understood."With that said, Tyler finally left....After handling urgent matters at the company, Tyler rushed back.Upon receiving confirmation from the bodyguards that Vicky had not left the room and nothing unusual occurred, he finally relaxed.Pushing open the door to the room, he found it quiet inside. He was concerned that
"Why didn't you eat?" Tyler questioned sourly.Vicky was initially confused but did not bother to raise any questions. "I didn't have an appetite and wanted to eat later, but I ended up falling asleep instead," she explained hoarsely."Did you really not have an appetite, or did you simply not want to eat the food I prepared?" he asked.Shocked, she asked, "You prepared it?"Vicky had not taken a single sip of the soup, so she assumed that it was prepared by the servants.Tyler studied the sincerity on her face, and the look in his eyes darkened at the realization that Vicky did not even know that he cooked for her.For some reason, he could not bring himself to cheer up.He suddenly remembered a saying. 'True indifference is not about never meeting again or avoiding discussions, but rather, it is when seeing or speaking to each other stops affecting one's mood.'This saying seemed to be aligned perfectly with Vicky's current state as she grew more emotionally detached from him
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 caprici
Tyler stared intently at Vicky and reached out in disbelief after a while.His touch and gaze were far too invasive, and Vicky slowly woke up. She was not surprised by the sight of Tyler, but she noticed his peculiar expression."What's wrong?" she asked.Tyler lowered his gaze and concealed his emotions. "Nothing," he said hoarsely. "I'm just checking your temperature."Vicky observed him suspiciously, but Tyler's expression showed nothing was amiss.Vicky did not think too much about it and tried to free herself from his embrace, intending to get out of bed.Tyler held her back. "Where are you going?""To freshen up."Tyler glanced at her. "Are you able to walk?"After waking up today, Vicky felt much better and more energetic than before, so she did not think there would be any problem with getting out of bed.She nodded and sat up.Tyler watched her without trying to stop her. Once Vicky put on her slippers and tried to stand, her legs suddenly went weak. Just as she was
Vicky did not manage to contact Cece and the others while she was unconscious, and she was worried that they might worry.Tyler stood still and said, "You haven't fully recovered yet. You shouldn't play with your phone."She scowled. "I don't use my phone for long.""No way." Tyler remained calm, but his tone was undeniably forceful. "You are not to get your phone back until you get better."Vicky knew that Tyler had been taking care of her and tried her best to be polite in the past few days. However, she felt her rage building up when she heard his controlling tone."Tyler, don't I have the right to communicate with others?""You will have your phone back when you recover," he said firmly.Vicky grew angry. "Tyler, is this what you call giving me freedom if I go back with you?"Faced with her displeased gaze, Tyler remained unperturbed. "If you want to get your phone back soon, cooperate with the treatment and take care of your health."Vicky could not stand Tyler's controll
Vicky stared out the window wordlessly, and Tyler's 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. "Missus Hart, Mister Hart has ordered me to take care of you."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 Lincoln's allergic reaction was likely caused by Angela at Tyler's 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, "What happened to the doctors from yesterday?"The doctor smiled and explained, "You had a high fever and were unconsciou
