The car swerved around the road so fast that the scenery outside became a blur.Vicky failed to come up with any reason despite her attempts. Finally, she sighed and said, "Looks like it is my fate to die at your hands.""Isn't that a good thing?" said Tyler.Although Vicky did not want to die just yet, death did not daunt her."I don't see it as a good or bad thing." She looked outside the window. "It's just that…your life is worth much more than mine, so if you think about it, you have more to lose than me."After saying that, she closed her eyes to wait for the sweet release of death.Tyler looked at the pale-faced Vicky. She looked calm, but her fluttering eyelashes said otherwise. After all, only a few people in the world could welcome death like an old friend.Boom!The car crashed into the railing by the side of the road, sending a shockwave through the whole car. It spun a few times on the road while the tires screeched.Tyler quickly covered Vicky's with his body as s
'Where's Tyler?' Vicky turned pale instantly."What happened to him? Is he…"Aurora knew Vicky had it all wrong, so she quickly explained, "Vicky, stop. The doctors are trying to save him right now…"Aurora quickly realized she had not worded her sentence properly. It was as if she was saying Tyler was not dead yet. She was trying to think of a better way to tell Vicky when Vicky suddenly ripped off the IV needle in her arm."Where is he? Bring me to him!""But you should rest…""I'm fine!"The thought of Tyler's life hanging by the thread made her panic. She looked pleadingly at Aurora. "Miss Starling, can you please bring me to him?"Aurora could not say no to Vicky's big sad puppy eyes. She thus nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see him."…Harry was alone in the hospital corridor, outside of the surgery room. At the sound of footsteps, he turned to look and saw Vicky, being supported by Aurora, walking over."Ma'am." He immediately stood up and greeted Vicky."Ho
Aurora was stunned, but she then smiled happily. She knew this was Vicky's way of telling her she had forgiven her. Nonetheless, she reminded herself to calm down since Tyler's condition was unstable.Aurora held Vicky's hand and said, "No need to thank me. After all, what are friends for?"She never had a real friend growing up since her parents controlled every aspect of her life. Thus, meeting Vicky was the best thing that ever happened to her. Not only did she find a real friend in her, but she was allowed to go after her dream, too. She told herself to cherish this friendship no matter what.Minutes ticked by, and the sky outside darkened. The fluorescent light in the hospital corridor cast a deathly pale light on them while it was so quiet that they could almost hear the sound of their heartbeats.At that moment, seconds felt like years to Vicky; which was something she never experienced before. She looked outside the window hollowly. After all that they had been through, she
"Mister Hart is no longer in critical condition," replied the doctor.Harry sighed in relief."The surgery was a success, but we need to monitor him in the ICU for a while. It's hard to say whether he'll come out of this alive. After all, his body had gone through so much with the gunshots and the car crash."After that, Tyler was wheeled out of the surgery room.Relief washed over Vicky when she heard Tyler was no longer in critical condition. However, tears fell from her eyes when she saw how white Tyler's face was. In fact, he was as pale as his bed sheet.The bandage around his head was tinted red by his blood, a stark contrast to his pale face. He was lying quietly on the bed as though he was sleeping.The aloof, arrogant Tyler had always been the one in control of any situation. When Vicky first met him, she thought she would never be able to get close to him.The man lying on the hospital bed was like a broken doll, and Vicky's heart ached to see him like this.'Is this
Aurora smiled confidently. "I'm not joking.""And what's your method?" blurted Vicky.Aurora batted her eyelids at her. "You'll see soon enough."Harry threw her a warning look. "Miss Starling, as you can see, Mister Hart's condition is touch-and-go at the moment, so you better not try any funny business.""Alright, you can just forget it if you're going to take that attitude with me. I wouldn't even have suggested it if it weren't for Vicky's sake."Vicky looked down to collect her thoughts before saying, "Maybe we should let her have a try?""But…" Harry still did not trust Aurora."You can go in with us if you don't trust me. That way, you can stop me as soon as you see me doing some 'funny business'."Besides, Tyler and I used to be partners in crime, so why would I want to hurt him? That won't do me any good now, would it? I mean, I still need his help to get me the lead role in this movie I've been eyeing."As Tyler's assistant, Harry did help Aurora with getting roles i
A few hours later, Tyler was wheeled out of the surgery room again and was in the clear…for the time being.Aurora's head hung low, acting like a child who knew she had done something wrong. "Sorry, Vicky."She only wanted to wake Tyler, not send him to the surgery room again. 'D*mn him… How can he be so possessive even when he's in a coma?'Vicky did not have the heart to scold Aurora when she saw how sorry she looked. After all, no one expected Tyler to have such a big reaction. At that moment, Vicky shuddered to think what her life would be like in the future.'He'll never change, and he's going to haunt me for the rest of his life. Not only that, but he'll come up with some elaborate plan to trick me into falling for him again, too.'Vicky did not dare to think more about it because if she did, she would run straight out of the hospital to escape However, she told herself she could not do that; not when he was the one who saved her from getting shot.…The next morning, ther
"What did you say?" Vicky asked in shock.Tyler looked at her as if she was a stranger. "Who are you?"Though his voice was weak, it was oddly loud in the quiet room.Vicky looked at the man lying on the hospital bed incredulously; she felt as if all the air had rushed out of her lungs.At that moment, Harry had just finished talking to the doctor. He walked up to Vicky and said, "The doctor said Mister Hart's condition is stabilized and…"Suddenly, he noticed Vicky's shocked expression and asked, "Ma'am, are you alright?"Vicky slowly turned to him. "Did he suffer a concussion? He just asked me who I am."Harry's expression immediately changed. He then asked the doctor to do a thorough checkup on Tyler.…After a while, the test result finally came out."Mister Hart suffered a serious blow to the head during the car crash, and from what we can tell, he most likely has a memory loss," declared the doctor solemnly."He lost his memory?" Harry found it hard to accept. "He has
Vicky stared at the sleeping Tyler as her mind raced.He must have sensed her staring at him; that or he had enough sleep. Either way, his eyes fluttered open. Confusion flashed across his eyes before he turned to look at Vicky."You're awake." Vicky felt nervous as he gazed at her. "How do you feel? Are you aching anywhere?"Tyler still looked at her like she was a stranger. After a while, he uttered one word, "Water."Vicky quickly poured some water into a cup, put in a straw, and brought it to him to sip. He must be in considerable pain since he only drank half a cup before moving his head away.Vicky placed the cup on the table. "Does it hurt badly? Do you want me to call the doctor for you?" she asked softly."No." Tyler's voice became clearer after drinking the water. "Who are you?""I'm…" Vicky did not know how to answer him.'Should I introduce myself as his ex-wife? But it was only a fake divorce… Should I tell him I'm his wife, then? Ugh, no. I don't want him to know
