The report stated clearly that she was pregnant, and Vicky was stunned for a moment.She did find herself in bed with Tyler one night, but she remembered that she was on her safe days at the time, so she could not be pregnant.Vicky started to suspect that the mysterious man sent her to the hospital for this.She thought back to the nurse who took her blood and headed up the stairs to ask the nurse about the report. Alas, she failed to locate her and started to feel anxious as if anything was possible.She had not gotten her period for the month, and there was a slight chance that she was pregnant.Unable to find the nurse, Vicky cast her hesitation aside and called the mysterious man.The phone rang for a long while, but Vicky grew increasingly nervous as no response was given.Just then, Sheila, who had just finished her examination, walked out of the room. As she opened the door, she said, "See? I told you there's nothing wrong, but you just won't believe me..."After steppi
The nurse spoke softly, but it was loud enough for Sheila and Tyler to overhear her.Vicky tensed instantly as the nurse walked up to her. "Ms. Shaw, please come with me."Vicky did not know how to react and did not dare to look at Sheila or Tyler. She followed the nurse stiffly with the only thought of getting out of there swiftly.Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist as Tyler's voice sounded from above. "Are you pregnant?""I—"Before Vicky could say anything, the nurse next to her said, "Yes, Ms. Shaw is four weeks pregnant."'Four weeks pregnant?' Tyler thought. 'The timing coincided with the time we slept together.'"Four weeks pregnant?" Sheila asked in shock. "Ms. Shaw, does this mean that...the child is Tyler's?!""No!" Vicky instinctively denied it. "You're mistaken. I'm not pregnant at all—""Ms. Shaw, you are pregnant," the nurse chimed in. "Why would you say otherwise?" She took the pregnancy report from Vicky's hand. "It's clearly stated in the report."Tyler's gaz
"Can you run another test?""Of course," said the nurse. "Please follow me."...Vicky had her blood drawn once again next to Tyler and Sheila. Sheila, who seemed worried that Vicky might run away, grabbed Vicky's arm tightly the entire time.After a series of tests, the nurse presented the result to the three of them, and Sheila snatched the report immediately.A few moments later, she turned visibly pale as the light in her eyes dimmed.Vicky's heart skipped a beat and she reached out to grab the report, which stated that she was pregnant—just like the previous report.Stunned, Vicky dropped the report.When Tyler saw the dazed look on Vicky's face, he frowned and bent to pick up the report from the ground.Upon reading the result, Tyler reacted far more calmly and said, "Let's talk when we get back." He then headed toward the elevator.Sheila looked at Vicky pointedly. "Ms. Shaw, please come with us."Vicky's lips twitched, but she silently followed his footsteps nonethel
Sheila sneered. "Stop pretending, Ms. Shaw. You disgust me!"Sheila clearly did not believe Vicky and dismissed her attempt to explain herself as an act."Miss Young, I...""Vicky Shaw, you appeared in the hospital today to let me know you're pregnant, didn't you?" interjected Sheila.Vicky moved her lips but could not utter a single word.Sheila cast her one final glare before stepping out of the room expressionlessly.Vicky was overwhelmed by guilt as she was not truly pregnant. It was all a lie, and a lie would eventually be exposed.Knowing that Tyler and Sheila would find out about the truth, Vicky gritted her teeth and hurried after Sheila. "Miss Young, please let me explain."Sheila acted as though she had seen through Vicky's true nature as she coldly shook off Vicky's hand. "Ms. Shaw, please let go.""This is all a misunderstanding..." Vicky tried to explain, but Sheila did not want to hear her voice.Sheila's expression shifted in her anger as she said, "If you have
A few doctors walked out grimly. "Mister Hart, Miss Young has woken up and is in a frantic state upon learning about her injuries. Do you think you can maybe..."Tyler frowned. "I'll go see her."With that, he went into the room without looking once at Vicky....The sky turned dark, and Vicky remained rooted in the corridor.Sometime later, the door finally opened, and Vicky turned her head toward the sound.As Tyler stepped outside, Vicky asked softly, "How is Miss Young doing?"Tyler's footsteps faltered as he seemed surprised to see Vicky still waiting outside.He did not immediately respond and closed the door to the ward, ensuring that no one inside could hear them, before saying coldly, "Why haven't you left?"Vicky began to explain, "I was a little concerned about Miss Young's condition, so..."He interrupted her with a cold sneer. "You want to see how badly you've ruined Sheila's life, don't you?""I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I don't know how she fell down the stai
Vicky's lashes fluttered. "Do you want to...destroy my hand as well?"Amused by her words, Tyler sneered. "Don't you think that's too light a punishment?"Vicky's chest heaved.Tyler caressed her cheek gently, and she felt a chill down her spine."What do you want?"Her fear seemed to please him, and he said coldly, "Don't worry. I won't do anything to you until you give birth to my child."She trembled. "And what then?"Tyler remained composed and cold as he said, "That's for me to decide afterward."Vicky's heart sank as she reached the depths of despair. She knew Tyler would not let her go.Tyler might let the current event go for the sake of his child, but Vicky had betrayed him in the past and had even deceived him just seconds ago, so she knew she would never escape Tyler's grip.Tyler seemed reluctant to even look at her, his voice cold as he said, "I'll have Harry arrange a new place for you to live, and I'll send a few people to take care of your daily life. Tomorrow
[Sorry, I had something to do during the day and didn't see your message in time. The nurse probably thought you were acting, so she only played along.]As Vicky read these words, she could not help but feel amused as she thought, 'The nurse thought I was acting... So even the nurse thought I was putting on a show? Well, I guess that must be what it looks like. Why else would Sheila think I was pretending to be pregnant?'Vicky did not reply to the message as she could not bring herself to think....Back home, after taking a shower, Vicky lay exhausted on the bed.She casually glanced at her phone and noticed two unread messages on the screen, so she opened the messages.[Are you in trouble again?][If you have any unresolved troubles, remember to tell me in time. I'll help you through it.]As she read the concerned messages on the screen, tears gathered in her eyes. Although she did not know the person's intentions, this stranger she had met by chance was the only one willing
The next day, someone rang the doorbell to Vicky's apartment.Harry stood outside the door as he greeted Vicky politely. "Ms. Shaw, Mister Hart has ordered me to pick you up.""Where is Tyler?" she asked expressionlessly."Um..." Harry had just started working for Tyler and did not know much about Tyler's relationship with Vicky. After a few moments of hesitation, he said, "He's working."In truth, Tyler was in the hospital with Sheila.Since Vicky was pregnant with Tyler's child, Harry chose not to tell her the truth, fearing that he might agitate Vicky by accident.Vicky did not miss the hesitation on Harry's expression but did not expose his lie. "Get Tyler to come here. I need to speak with him.""Ms. Shaw, Mister Hart is busy now, so I'm afraid—"Vicky interrupted him. "Tell him that I'm not leaving unless he comes."With that, Vicky slammed the door shut without giving Harry a chance to reply....In the evening, the doorbell rang once again. Vicky got up and opened th
