"I was visiting a friend and ran into Gloria. She was in such a rush that I thought something was wrong, so I came over."Selene, who had come with Gloria, said sarcastically, "Mister Sparks, why do you bother explaining yourself to Vicky? She's not your fiance anymore, you know?"Gloria had lost her composure and ran toward Harry and Adam. "Harry, Adam, what happened to Tyler?"Harry gaped at her. "Why are you here, Miss Shaw?""I informed her," Adam said stiffly. When he saw the hesitant look on Harry's face, he immediately knew what Harry was about to say. "Missus Hart can't even walk, so how is she supposed to take care of Mister Hart? Mister Hart doesn't have that many friends, and Miss Young is out of the country. Miss Shaw is the only one close to Mister Hart, so it's reasonable to call her here, right?"Jade, who stood behind Vicky quietly, could not stand his tone and said, "Adam, you're out of line.""I'm out of line, you say?" Adam sneered. "All I did was say a few wor
Vicky looked up and retorted, "You're accusing me of stealing her men, but what was the relationship between Harvey and Gloria at the time, Miss Rathborne? Were they engaged or dating? If they weren't together, how was I stealing him from her? As for Tyler..."Her voice grew colder. "As you've mentioned, all he did was pursue Gloria, which meant that they weren't dating as well. You accuse me of stealing her men, yet she was hardly even an ex-girlfriend if I'm not mistaken. As despicable as I might be, I was once Harvey's fiance and Tyler's official wife. Gloria can stay on her high horse, but she still gets nothing in the end—"Vicky's words were interrupted when Gloria slapped her across the face.Slap!Harvey's expression darkened. "Gloria!"Gloria stared at Vicky coldly. "You're rather smug, aren't you, Vicky?"Vicky's cheek swelled, but she remained calm as she touched her cheek and said, "There's a sense of accomplishment that comes with it."Gloria narrowed her eyes and w
Vicky stared at her legs in disbelief when she noticed that she was sensing pain in her legs.'How is this possible?' she thought. 'I clearly sensed pain just now.'Worried that she was imagining it, she pinched her ankle with all her might and felt a blunt, faint pain.She gaped and trembled in excitement as she realized that the nerves on her legs had not completely died off....Another day passed and Tyler finally woke up.Vicky was reading in her wheelchair at the time, and though her legs were recovering, she still could not walk. Moreover, she had nowhere else to be since she was confined to the room.After reading for some time, she felt tired and was about to rest when she looked up to find a pair of dark eyes looking at her.Tyler had been staring at her without her noticing, and after being stunned for a few moments, she snapped out of it. "You're awake?"He looked at her and hummed in response.Vicky studied the pale look on his face and felt a lump in her throat.
Since Tyler's condition had stabilized, Harry and Jade turned to leave with the doctors, but Adam stood his ground.Harry was confused at first, but Adam blurted out, "Mister Hart, what is to be done to the person who stabbed you?"Tension rose in the air and Harry shot Adam a warning look, signaling him not to continue the subject. However, Adam simply ignored him and continued to stare into Tyler's eyes."I will handle it. You may go," Tyler said."Mister Hart..." Adam insisted.Tyler scowled impatiently. "Get out. I need to rest."Harry glanced at Jade, who immediately received his message, and went to drag Adam out of the room.Once Adam was out of the room, he asked, "Why did you stop me? Vicky Shaw stabbed Mister Hart. Are we supposed to let it slide?""Vicky might've crossed the line, but...it's not entirely her fault. She can't walk, and Mister Hart scared the life out of her..." reasoned Harry.Anyone who went through what Vicky was suffering would have gone insane a
Tyler narrowed his eyes and glanced at Vicky's legs. "So you've found out?"He sounded awfully casual as though he was merely talking about the weather.Vicky clenched her fists. "Why?"He raised an eyebrow. "Why, what?""Why did you lie to me?""Vicky, are you disappointed that you didn't actually lose your legs?"She glared at him. "Is it that fun to toy with me?"He chuckled. "It is quite fun."Vicky was never a fierce woman, and she was driven to stab Tyler because her hatred for him had reached its peak. After doing so, however, most of her resentment was vented.Tyler turned to study the anger on her flushed face and said, "This time, it's just to teach you a lesson, but next time..." He smirked coldly. "Challenge me again, and… Well, it's not challenging for me to keep a woman around who can't walk."Her blood ran cold, knowing that Tyler was a man of his word and she would not be so lucky if she tried to escape again."... Did you really have others filming what happ
Vicky dared not to disobey and thus moved her wheelchair closer to the bed.Tyler stared at her. "I'm tired. Come and sleep next to me."Since Tyler was injured, Vicky knew that there was no way for them to be intimate and said, "Do you want me to read a book to you or just for me to sit here and stare at you?""Come up here."Vicky frowned. "No. Your wounds will re-open if I accidentally brush against them.""I'm not repeating myself. Come up here."Her breath caught in her throat, and she caved out of fear that his punishment toward her would escalate.The senses in her legs had recovered to a certain extent, so she could stand for a short while.She struggled to get up and slowly got on Tyler's bed.Tyler immediately wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.Tyler had just regained consciousness and was recovering, so he drifted off to sleep almost immediately.After finding out that her legs were not destroyed, Vicky felt much more at peace and fe
Startled by what she heard, Vicky stopped walking.'Miscarriage? I had a…miscarriage?' she thought shockingly.Suddenly, she remembered the things Sheila told her. Sheila said the only reason Tyler married her was that she lied to him that she was pregnant.Harvey also mentioned she used to contact a mysterious person before she lost her memory, and whoever it was played a great part in helping her become Tyler's wife. Thus, she always thought the baby never existed.However…"If she takes care of her body from now on, does she have any chance to be pregnant?" rang Tyler's voice, mature and distant."There's a possibility, but the chances aren't very high…"For a very long time, Tyler did not say anything.Unconsciously, Vicky placed her hand on her abdomen.Tyler has had the idea of having a child with her ever since he pretended to be the masked man, so he never used any protection during their intercourse. He was so vehement that he replaced her contraceptive pills.Over t
Tyler refused to look at Vicky anymore and gradually walked away until he faded from view.…The miscarriage seemed to have Tyler recall unhappy moments. He started to be less passionate about Vicky and also refused to touch her.Not long later, he returned to the stage where he seldom returned home.Vicky remained trapped in the mansion, which at this point looked more like a prison or a cage. She stood in front of the window and gazed outside. Sometimes, she could remain in that position for hours.One day, Jade came knocking on her door."Ma'am," Jade said softly, "you're free to go anywhere from today onward."Vicky, watering the flowers at the moment, paused upon hearing Jade's information."What did you say?" Vicky reconfirmed.Jade smiled and repeated, "You are free to go anywhere from today onward."Vicky asked curiously, "Tyler permits it?"Jade nodded.Without Tyler's permission, no one dared to allow Vicky to go out.For some reason, Vicky thought of something.
