Vicky froze for a second. "I'm not crying."Tyler's long fingers gently brushed the corner of her eye. "What's this, then?"A glistening teardrop rested on his fingertip, and Vicky felt rather dazed at the sight of the teardrop. She struggled to believe that she would shed tears for him.Tyler wiped away the tear from her eye. "Are you this reluctant to part with me?"Before Vicky could ask what he meant, he muttered, "I've thought it over. If you don't want a divorce, we won't get one.""What?""Considering how wholeheartedly you've taken care of me, I can think about staying married," he explained.Vicky stared blankly at his face and struggled to react. "But you already agreed before...""I only agreed because I had just lost my memory and didn't know you well, so I had no feelings for you. However, you've treated me fairly well, and continuing this marriage wouldn't be something unbearable.""Tyler..."Vicky wanted to say something but was interrupted by Tyler."I know w
Vicky looked at Tylor suspiciously. "Tyler, you agreed to the divorce. Why are you suddenly changing your mind about it?""I told you. You have taken good care of me, and I start to think that you're not that bad," he replied casually."That's it?""What else?"Vicky remained silent, her gaze fixed on him.Although Tyler had lost his memories, he was still perceptive. He met her eyes and asked, "Are you thinking that I don't want a divorce because I've regained my memories?"Vicky stared into his eyes and said, "If you haven't recovered your memories, then...the only explanation for this is that you never lost them in the first place."He remained composed. "What makes you say that?"Vicky was about to explain, but Tyler beat her to it."You seem certain that I won't want to divorce you if I have my memories." A hint of playfulness appeared in his eyes. "That seems to contradict what you told me before, doesn't it?"Vicky realized what he was getting at and paled as it dawned
Tyler closed his eyes and remained silent.No matter how Vicky pestered him about the complications he mentioned, Tyler refused to speak.Frustrated, Vicky sought out Tyler's attending doctor to inquire about his condition.At first, the doctor seemed hesitant to share, but after Vicky's persistent questioning, he finally caved and revealed the truth."Due to the several accidents Tyler had recently, his body has been gradually recovering, but his vital organs have suffered immensely," the doctor said cautiously. "In simpler terms, his immune system has been damaged and weakened. As a result, he'll become vulnerable to frequent illnesses."Vicky paled. "Is it that bad?"Tyler almost never fell ill for as long as she knew him, and when he did, it was usually due to overworking or not eating on time. With proper care and rest, he would quickly recover. He had also suffered injuries from some of his enemies' attacks, but he had always recovered swiftly from whatever injuries he sust
Aurora's words were cut off as the door to the ward was pushed open, and Tyler walked out expressionlessly."Since I’ve been discharged, that means I've recovered," he aloofly declared. "You can leave now if you don't want to stay."It was evident that Tyler overheard Vicky and Aurora's conversation."The doctor said that being discharged doesn't mean a total recovery. You still need to be observed at home for a week..." Vicky reasoned."That won't be necessary." Tyler interrupted her as he stepped out of the ward. "I can still take care of myself."Aurora was annoyed by Tyler's arrogance.She had planned to let Vicky have some fun toying with him while he suffered from amnesia, but it seemed that Vicky was the one who suffered.Not wanting to argue with Tyler, Aurora glanced around. "Where's Harry? Why haven't I seen him around recently?"Vicky frowned. "Harry has been on a business trip recently."In fact, Harry had not visited since the last time he left.'Tyler is dischar
The look in Tyler's eyes darkened, and suddenly, he scowled and pressed his temple.Startled, Vicky hurried over. "Tyler, what's wrong?""My head hurts."Panicking, Vicky said, "Why would you get a headache all of a sudden?"She thought back to the complications the doctor mentioned and immediately called the doctor.While waiting for the doctor to arrive, Vicky helped Tyler into the bedroom, and her heart sank at the agony on his pale face, realizing that he was truly wounded.A team of doctors arrived soon after.After examining Tyler, the doctor glanced at him, who was lying unconscious, and gestured for Vicky to step outside to talk.Vicky walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. Anxiously, she asked, "Doctor, what's going on? Hasn't he recovered yet? Should he continue with hospital treatment?"The doctor lowered his voice, "Missus Hart, Mister Hart's condition isn't that severe.""Then why does he have a headache?""Mister Hart lost his memory due to the car acci
Sensing Vicky's hesitation, Harvey asked, "Is something bothering you? Are you not free today?"Vicky considered for a moment and finally replied, "No, I'm free. Where should we meet?""At our usual place," Harvey replied.Vicky's memories had already returned, so she knew where Harvey was referring to."Alright," replied Vicky before ending the call.After changing into a different outfit, Vicky came out of her room and ran into Tyler on her way downstairs.Even though Tyler had been discharged from the hospital, his injuries were not fully healed. During this time, he had been resting at home and familiarizing himself with work related to Hart Corporation.Due to Tyler's amnesia, their relationship was somewhat awkward, so they had been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few days. Though, Tyler hardly showed any opposition to this arrangement.Seeing Vicky holding her handbag, ready to go out, a barely noticeable frown appeared on Tyler's face. "Are you going out?"Vick
Tyler felt taken aback as he met her eyes, and Vicky took the opportunity to push him away.Tyler did not stop her again, and she proceeded to put her shoes on. Before walking through the door, she paused and turned hesitantly to look at Tyler.He remained still and had his head bowed, seemingly lost in his thoughts.She quickly looked away and left the mansion.On the way, she called Harry and asked him to drop by the mansion. Though she felt that Tyler was an adult who was fully capable of taking care of himself at home, someone else needed to check on him....When she arrived at the cafe, Harvey was already waiting.Vicky walked over and apologized, "Sorry, I'm late."Harvey smiled politely and pulled out a chair for her. "No, I just arrived early."After taking their seats, they each ordered a cup of coffee, and the bitter-sweet aroma of coffee floated in the air.Harvey looked at Vicky's drink and smiled. "After all these years, your taste hasn't changed."Vicky retu
Harvey hesitated before he said, "I've heard rumors that Tyler lost his memories."Vicky's grip tightened around her coffee cup.Harvey looked into Vicky's eyes. "I don't know where these rumors come from, but...at the moment, a few people have found out about this. If it's just a rumor, that's fine, but if he truly suffers from amnesia... Vicky, you'll be in grave danger."She froze as Harvey continued in his melodious voice, "Once his enemies learn of this, they'll try and eliminate Tyler. You've always been the best target if they want to blackmail Tyler. If he remembers you, he'll try his best to protect you, but if he doesn't, he might choose to sacrifice you. Naturally, some of his enemies are more cautious, but what I'm most concerned about is that..."He stared at Vicky and said, "The Harts won't let this chance slip by."Vicky's lashes fluttered gently.She had experienced firsthand just how cunning and ruthless the members of the Harts could be.First, Lincoln pretende
[Alright.]Aurora sighed in relief. "Vicky, we've been out for quite a while. Shall we head back?"Vicky glanced at Aurora. "Can we finally go back now?""Yes, we can go back... Huh?" Aurora sensed something was amiss. "Vicky, do you...know something?"Vicky smiled. "Every time I go out with friends, Tyler always bombards me with questions about when I'll be back and insists on picking me up. Strangely, he didn't ask me anything today. Also... I remember that it's my birthday today."Aurora was left speechless as she realized Vicky saw right through her act....By the time they got home, it was starting to get dark outside. Inside the mansion, it was quiet and pitch-black. Suddenly, a warm, yellow candlelight gradually illuminated the darkness, revealing a handsome face."Happy birthday, Vicky," Tyler said.Vicky gazed at the flickering candles, feeling a bit dazed.It was then she remembered that during the early days of their relationship, he had prepared a birthday surpri
Tyler showed great disdain when his wish of getting a daughter was let down. What irritated him most was that this son looked remarkably like him.After recovering from childbirth, Vicky accompanied a newly pregnant Aurora on a shopping trip for baby supplies.Upon hearing Vicky's story, Aurora could not help but ask, "Men are usually happy when they have sons, so why does Tyler prefer daughters?"Vicky sighed. "Tyler says that a family is never really balanced and happy unless they have one son and one daughter."Aurora nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. Now that you have a son, having a daughter would be perfect. Vicky, have you and Tyler considered responding to the national call and having a third child?"Vicky shook her head. "The last time I gave birth, Tyler wasn't around, so he doesn't know what it was like. This time, he was scared out of his wits and had no intention of having more children. A few days ago, he even underwent a vasectomy."Aurora chuckled. "Daughters may be s
However, everything spiraled out of control.Tyler knew his behavior was despicable, but he could not control his emotions.When he loved, every cell within him longed for her. Every time he came to see her, he told himself it would be the last time. However, he found himself appearing at her house more and more frequently.Tyler knew he was in trouble, and it would not be long before he returned to his former self.Vicky was like a drug to him. Even though he knew that contact with her was toxic, he could not bring himself to let go.He knew she was pregnant with his child, and his most primal desires began to surge, making it impossible for him to resist the urge to make her stay.Vicky listened quietly to his confession, and her heart ached.She could not fight off the urge to hold him; her touch was firm and comforting.He only mentioned a few words about the time he regained consciousness, but Vicky knew he had endured a lot of pain. The fact that he was alive was a miracl
Tyler's lips quivered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent.What was there to say? It was not like he could apologize. The deed had been done, and his apology would not mean anything. Besides, he had no regrets whatsoever.Vicky stared at him. "You tampered with the surveillance, didn't you?""Yes.""And the servants and nannies. They're all under your control, right?"Tyler lowered his gaze. "Yes."Since all of this was real and not a dream, she must have been unconscious when Tyler returned. No matter how soundly she slept, she should have felt something. Since she had to take care of Lufian, she came home every day for meals, so she guessed that something was added to her food.For the past few days, she pretended to eat at home while secretly disposing of her meals. As it turned out, her suspicions were correct.Vicky repeated the question she asked before. "Why didn't you come to me?"Tyler remained silent once again."Did you come here just t
"Are you planning to leave just like that?"The man's body tensed.Click! The desk lamp was turned on, its warm, amber light illuminating the darkness."Why won't you look at me? Are you brave enough to do it but not to admit it?" echoed Vicky's gentle voice.Tyler snapped out of it and instinctively pulled his hand away from hers, ready to escape, only for Vicky's next words to pin him in place."If you leave now, I'll get rid of the baby in me tomorrow."He swiftly froze in place and turned back to her. "What did you just say?"Even though she prepared herself mentally, seeing the shock on his face made Vicky's eyes widen in shock. In an instant, her eyes welled up with tears. "You..."As Tyler met the shock in her eyes, he came to a sudden realization and turned his face away, looking anywhere but at her.When she learned about her pregnancy and knew she had not been dreaming, Vicky had a hunch about who it was that came and went freely into her home. The only one capable o
Vicky began to feel increasingly uneasy. She was pregnant without even knowing who the father was. That had to be one of the most absurd jokes in the world.Aurora, Noah, and the others were bewildered.They knew Vicky's character well, and she was not the type to casually sleep around. Besides, she still had feelings for Tyler, so she would never sleep with another man.Getting drunk was even more out of the question. After all, she was either working or taking care of her child. She had neither the time nor the inclination to go out drinking.Even Vicky herself was bewildered, and her thoughts were in disarray. "I... I don't know."The others exchanged glances, all noticing that Vicky's first instinct was not to terminate the pregnancy."Vicky, go home and think it over carefully. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us," Aurora said gently.Vicky nodded absently.Back at home, Vicky reviewed the surveillance footage once more.She had watched it numerous times, but
Just then, a dish that Vicky usually enjoyed was brought to the table by the waiter.The aroma filled the air, but Vicky paled instantly. Before anyone could react, she retched and rushed to the bathroom.Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.Cece blinked. "What's wrong with Vicky?"Jennifer furrowed her brow. "Vicky doesn't look well. Is she ill?"The concerned Aurora chimed in, "Ever since Tyler's disappearance, Vicky hasn't been in the best mood. She even suffered from postpartum depression. Let's take her to the hospital after dinner. We can't afford for her to fall ill again."Everyone assumed that something was physically wrong with Vicky, but Noah, who remained silent, spoke up."I remember when Vicky was pregnant last time... She seemed to be very sensitive to certain smells."All eyes turned to Noah.Jennifer's eyes widened. "What are you trying to say, Noah?! You don't mean to suggest that...Vicky might be pregnant, do you?"Under the curious gazes of everyone, Noah c
As Anthony and Jennifer grew up in Lovian, and their families had deep roots there, they had to stay at Lovian as well. However, whenever they had free time, Jennifer often returned to Stoneford City to meet her friends for gatherings and meals.Vicky's birthday was approaching in a few days, and Jennifer came back early for the occasion.Lufian, on the other hand, became the darling of the group, and everyone loved him. Thus, one of the highlights of visiting Zendonia was to see Lufian.On this day, Vicky had some free time and decided to go to the airport to fetch Jennifer.Harvey held Lufian and walked out of Vicky's mansion.He had also come back early to celebrate Vicky's birthday. Like everyone else, he adored Lufian. His priority the moment he returned was to see Lufian, even though Lufian resembled Tyler most uncannily.Harvey carried Lufian and settled into the back seat, preparing to bond with him during the ride. Vicky sat in the driver's seat.Just as they were about
"Lufian is usually very well-behaved. He doesn't cause a fuss and is easy to handle.""Is his name Lufian?""That's right. Lufian Hart."Gloria's gaze flickered briefly but quickly returned to normal. "Have you given him a nickname?""Not yet," Vicky replied.Gloria did not say anything further.After playing with the child for a while, she carefully placed the necklace she had prepared around Lufian's neck.The baby played for a while and soon fell asleep.Gloria then gently returned Lufian to his stroller.Leaving the nursery, Vicky and Gloria engaged in casual conversation. They had no deep-seated grudges, and over time, their past love and hatred gradually faded away.Vicky smiled and remarked, "You seem to really like children. How about having one yourself? A kid would make a good companion for Lufian.""I'd like to, but I haven't found the right person," Gloria lamented.Gloria had been single for years. It was not because she could not forget Tyler or was waiting fo
