Chapter 1400

Author: Debbie Meza
Vicky lowered her gaze quietly.

Harvey spoke calmly, "Jackie has the key to your office. I thought of hiding in your office for a while, but it seems you haven't left work yet."

Harvey's assistant often came to Vicky's office to collect medicines for Tyler, so Vicky entrusted her office key to him.

"You've been shot. You need to remove the bullet as soon as possible," insisted Vicky as she observed his pale face. "Do you have a friend who's a doctor? Maybe...you should have them come over and remove the bullet?"

Harvey waved it off. "You don't need to worry about this. I'm just resting here for a while before I leave."

Vicky frowned. "Didn't you just mention that once your location is exposed, you'll be at risk of a life-threatening situation? You're injured now. If you're discovered, you might not be able to escape." After a brief pause, she continued, "Since it's relatively safe here for now, rest up. Cece and Jennifer are away on a short business trip these days, so they won't

    "Yeah." Harvey expected this to happen and said, "I'll be fine. Don't worry."Ted sighed in resignation and began to prepare for the extraction.Vicky wanted to help, but Harvey spoke up, "Vicky, you should go home.""I'll go after the bullets are out of you," she insisted."This will take some time." Harvey glanced at the clock. "If you return home too late, he'll notice something is wrong."Vicky froze, knowing Tyler had likely targeted Harvey because of her. Without her, Harvey would not find himself hunted by Tyler's assassins and his company maliciously bought over.After a few moments of silence, she nodded. "Alright. I'll see you tomorrow."He smiled at her. "Don't worry. This is nothing but a scratch. I've survived this long, and I've seen enough. This won't stop me."Harvey's silence had its merits as the more he spoke, the more Vicky felt guilty. Suppressing her inner remorse, Vicky left the office after bidding them farewell....By the time she reached home, it wa

    "Sure enough, it doesn't feel so good," remarked Tyler.Vicky walked over and frowned when she spotted the cigarette between his fingers. "Why are you smoking again?" She pouted and snatched the cigarette before putting it out. "You've just recovered. You can't smoke and drink."Tyler did not stop her and simply stared at her intently. "My secretary said that you came to the office looking for me yesterday."Vicky's gaze flickered as she answered, "Yeah. You weren't there."His gaze was steady as he asked, "Why didn't you call?""I didn't want to get in the way of your work, so I didn't call." She looked away and continued, "Your secretary told me that you went out to sign a contract, so I left. I wanted to tell you about it when you came home, but you came home late and drunk, so..."Tyler pulled her toward himself.Caught off-guard, Vicky tumbled into his embrace. His sturdy arms securely wrapped around her slender waist, settling her onto his lap.Their faces were inches awa

    "Vicky, are you arguing with me for Harvey's sake?""I wouldn't have said a word about this had this been a simple business decision, but that's clearly not the case." She looked into his eyes and said, "Tyler, I don't want you to hurt someone because of me. I've explained that nothing's going on between me and Harvey countless times. He's helped me so many times, yet this is what he gets in return? This is ungrateful.""Ungrateful? Vicky, is Harvey that important to you?""He helped me!""So what?" Tyler narrowed his eyes coldly. "He might look like he's helping you, but he's only using that as an excuse to get closer to you. If I remember correctly, he's advised you to leave me multiple times before.""That's because he misunderstood how I felt about you. This isn't his fault. I was the one who asked for his help..."Tyler interrupted her coldly. "So? Are you trying to fight with me because of him?""I don't want to fight." Her expression eased slightly. "I just don't want you

    Vicky relaxed and asked gently, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?""I'm free tonight."Vicky unfastened her seatbelt and kissed Tyler's cheek. "I'll be waiting for you at home, then."Tyler hummed in response.Once she got out of the car, Vicky stood as she watched Tyler's car drive off. She remained still for a few more moments before turning to step into a restaurant to order food.The new studio Tyler bought for her was located at the center of the city with great views and transportation everywhere.Vicky packed the food she ordered and walked back to her studio.When she knocked on the door to the lounge, a melodious voice responded, "Come in."She went inside and asked, "How are you feeling today? Are your wounds still hurting?""I'm fine now."Despite trying to appear nonchalant, Harvey's slightly weakened voice and his pale face betrayed his true condition.The environment in Vicky's studio was certainly not on par with a hospital. Even though Ted had prepared

    Harvey did not delay his departure and thus asked, "Vicky, can I borrow your phone?"Vicky handed her phone to Harvey, who swiftly made a phone call. "How are things looking?""Johnson Corporation's market value has stabilized for now, but we're not sure if they have other plans to destroy us," reported Jackie."Have the assassins left?" Harvey asked."Yes.""I'm at Vicky's studio right now. Send someone here to pick me up.""Of course. I'll arrange it right away."After hanging up, Harvey handed the phone back to Vicky and said, "Thank you."Vicky shook her head. "Rest for now. I'll let you know once your men are here."Harvey nodded and closed his eyes.Vicky's phone rang about 20 minutes later, and Harvey's eyes snapped open.Vicky handed him the phone, and he answered right away. "What's the matter?""Sir, we've arranged for someone to pick you up, but during the journey, we noticed...an unknown vehicle tracking us," said Jackie tensely. "We suspect it might be Tyler's

    Harvey had helped her more times than she could count and even once aided Tyler, but in the end, he faced bankruptcy and assassination. To make matters worse, she almost led Harvey to his demise due to her carelessness.It was an understatement to say Vicky felt guilty.Harvey chuckled. "After being enemies with Tyler for years, I know the kind of person he is. Given his current situation, the odds of him wanting to eliminate me are quite high."He had been assisting Vicky with analyzing medications, and he had a general idea of Tyler's condition.Harvey looked at Vicky and continued, "With someone as obsessive as him, once he's set his mind on something, it's hard for him to change his decision. I'm not sure what's happened between you two recently, but I assume Tyler has misunderstood the situation again."Vicky had not expected Harvey to be so perceptive.Apologies were hardly enough to make up for what Harvey had been through, yet she had no idea what else to say apart from a

    "I want to see how Johnson Group is doing," said Harvey. "I can't go outside now, but my employees will start to panic if I disappear for too long."She studied the pale look on his face and wanted to advise him to rest, but she stopped herself. After all, she was the one responsible for his injury and troubles."Alright." She then brought Harvey her spare laptop.Upon switching it on, Harvey first checked the stock value of his firm and went on to browse a few business-related websites.Vicky had seen those websites on Tyler's computer before but did not know what they were for.Harvey's expression darkened; the situation was worse than he imagined.As time went by, the look on his face grew darker. 10 minutes later, he turned the laptop off."So…has the situation with the Johnson Corporation improved?" Vicky inquired.Harvey put on a more relaxed smile. "Yes, it's stabilized for the time being."Vicky knew the situation might not be as good as Harvey made it seem. If Tyler c

    Tyler might have sounded calm, but his words were unforgiving.Vicky stood outside the door to listen for a while longer before quietly returning to bed.A few minutes later, Tyler returned, seemingly unaware she was awake. He pulled her closer by the waist and fell back to sleep....The next day, Tyler returned home in the evening, just in time to see Vicky walking out of the kitchen with freshly cooked dishes.She paused on her path and beamed at him. "Go upstairs and get changed. Dinner is ready."He stared at the dish she was holding. "Did you cook again?""Cece and Jennifer are on a business trip and I don't have much to do alone in my studio, so I came home early. Go get changed. The food is getting cold," she urged.Tyler felt hypnotized when he saw Vicky smile. After composing himself, he nodded slightly and ascended the stairs.When he came back down, the food was already set on the table, and there was the soup she always prepared for him on his left.During the me

    [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

    "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.
