At the time, Vicky was weak due to the injuries she sustained from the car accident and was asleep for most of the day. On top of that, she was hypnotized, so she did not remember much from the time she spent in the hospital.Harry's words triggered some of her memories, and she remembered that Tyler was indeed with her every day. Though she was later under the impression that he never visited her, he only left after she lost her memories.Vicky stared at the rain outside the window and fell into silence. Harry quieted down as well....Harry and Vicky searched the places that Tyler used to frequent, hoping to find some clues. However, they made no progress whatsoever.In the end, Harry brought Vicky to a standalone villa where Tyler used to live.The location of this villa was quite remote with few people around, making it exceptionally quiet.Harry occasionally came here to collect some documents from Tyler, so he knew the password to the villa.Once inside, Harry switched on
Vicky's heart ached as memories washed over her. She did not expect Tyler to keep this picture.After studying the photo, she put it back in place.The beddings were folded pristinely, and it was evident that no one had used them for a while.She walked over to the closet and opened it, noticing only a few sets of clothing. She realized that Tyler seemed to have brought a lot of items the last time he moved back into the mansion and even added another closet to store his clothes.Vicky left the bedroom and located Tyler's study.The room was arranged just like his old apartment, only larger. The entire wall of bookshelves displayed books in different languages, and on the desk were neatly arranged documents and more books. Vicky approached the desk and glanced casually at the contents of the drawers and the desk—all related to work.The villa was vast, and Vicky spent a considerable amount of time searching through every room.She did not find any trace of Tyler on the second fl
Vicky's eyes widened, her breath hitched, and her heart skipped a beat.Countless photos were on the wall, and she was the subject of them all.Seeing so many pictures of herself, Vicky was profoundly shaken and frozen in place.After a long while, she finally walked forward and approached the wall of photos.Next to the photo wall was a large table, and Vicky felt her blood running cold at the sight. The table was also filled with her pictures, but unlike the ones on the wall that were all single shots of her, the ones on the table were group photos. The faces of others in those photos had been torn away, leaving only her in the photos, which looked sinister under the dim lighting.Vicky could even recall what happened in some of these pictures from the backgrounds.A loud thunderclap echoed, startling Vicky, causing her to drop the photos she was holding.She took several deep breaths to calm herself.Picking up the photos once more, she examined each one. She noticed that al
Doubt filled Vicky's mind, and as she walked over, she noticed a few lab reports on the table.She knew nothing about medicine and could not comprehend what was written, but the handwritten note at the bottom of the last page caught her attention.[Three components unknown.]She glanced through all the pages and frowned.Tyler seemed to have run a lot of tests to confirm if the poison was safe to use, but there was a component that he could not identify, which he marked with a question mark.Vicky thought back to what happened when she overheard the conversation between Avery and Tyler. She did not catch their entire conversation but gathered enough information to conclude his intentions.He had indeed bought that drug but claimed he had not poisoned her. He purchased it from the black market and was not certain if it was harmless, so he left it unused.'Had I misunderstood Tyler? Did he really not poison me?' she mulled over.Memories of the past flashed through Vicky's mind.
Vicky regretted even more how she treated Tyler today, and her remorse deepened when she saw the photo.'Even Harvey noticed something was off with Tyler, but I didn't…' She swore to herself that she would treat Tyler better and find him a psychologist after bringing him home. 'His condition must be really serious.'Vicky turned back and walked slowly toward Tyler as quietly as she could, but he still noticed her the moment she got close to him.Tyler must have remembered who she was as he did not turn to face her. Instead, he said lightly, "Why did you come?"Vicky paused for a second before continuing to walk to his side. "What are you doing here? The wind is picking up. You might catch a cold.""I've regained some of my memories…" muttered Tyler as if he did not hear her question.Vicky immediately looked at him. It was then she realized Tyler was drenched in the rain. His handsome face was made even colder by the biting wind.Vicky's breath became erratic. "It's cold out her
Vicky looked down and avoided his gaze.Tyler grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. It was so sudden that Vicky jerked, nearly falling.They were on top of the highest building in Stoneford City. Standing there, they had a panoramic view of the entire city.Normally, the rooftop would be filled with people who had gone there to take in the city view. However, the storm dampened their plans, so the entire rooftop was vacant.Tyler was standing at the best spot for viewing, but it was also the most dangerous spot. Even with the railing, it was dangerous on account of the howling wind and heavy rain. With every move he made, he seemed about to fall. Vicky did not have a fear of heights, but even she was starting to get vertigo."Tyler…. What do you want to do?" Vicky could not help but think back to the car accident last time. 'Is he still thinking of us dying together?'Tyler stared into the distance. "The view here is nice, isn't it?""The wind is getting stronger… Why
It would be pointless for Vicky to argue with Tyler, so she said as gently as she could, "You haven't fully recovered, and you'll catch a cold if you don't change out of your wet clothes now. Let's talk when we're back, okay?"Tyler looked at her sharply. "You haven't answered my question yet."He seemed to suspect she was avoiding his question.Vicky looked into his eyes and promised him, "I didn't have a change of heart, and there isn't someone else."Tyler locked his gaze on her face as if wanting to see whether she was lying. "Really?"Vicky nodded; she did not look away. "Yes, really.""Then why do you want to divorce me?""There was some misunderstanding between us…"Tyler kept his eyes on her. "Then shouldn't we try to clear up the misunderstanding instead of going straight into divorce?"His face remained calm. In fact, he was so calm that it made his actions look even more daunting. His eyes dimmed a little when their eyes met.Suddenly, he asked hoarsely, "Do you ha
Tyler had passed out from a dangerously high fever. It was just a matter of time before he caught a fever with him being drenched with the rain and standing in the cold wind for so long. He only had himself to blame for this.Vicky stood by his bedside and looked anxiously at his pale face. She then turned toward the doctor who was busy tending to him and asked, "Doctor, why is he still burning up?""Well, he hadn't fully recovered when he went out to stand in the rain…" The doctor's face darkened when he saw the temperature reading on the thermometer. "Not only is his temperature not coming down, but it's actually going up, too."Vicky felt her breath caught in her throat. "Does he need to go to the hospital?"The doctor shook his head. "No. The hospital will only hook him up with some IV drips like I'm doing now. Besides, we shouldn't put any more stress on his body…"After a pause, he added sternly, "Based on the current situation, I think it's best to use a traditional method
