Several hours later, Tyler's condition stabilized.Doctor Charlie told Vicky, "Miss Shaw, I know you're very busy with work, but…you know your boyfriend's condition. I hope you can take time off from work and focus on caring for him. Don't just visit him once a day and leave immediately after."He paused for a while and shot her a rather disapproving gaze."The patient's body and mind are at their weakest during sickness, and very often, they'll feel lonely. With your companion, it could fasten his recovery. To be honest, Miss Shaw, you didn't play your part in caring for him."Vicky lowered her head embarrassingly.Throughout this time, Tyler had transferred quite a large sum of money to her. Even though she told herself she was going to pay it back to him in the future, she had already accepted the money. Thus, it was her responsibility and duty to take care of him.By any means, Tyler could easily hire a nanny or a personal nurse to take care of him, and they would definitely
Tyler looked at Vicky, and his eyes widened slightly at how displeased she looked."This is the reward for taking care of me all night long."His voice was still quite hoarse, yet his angular, perfect face displayed a sense of indifference and distant feeling."I don't want it." Vicky looked at him and sternly added, "Don't transfer any more money to me."Tyler's eyes wavered. "You don't want money? Then what do you want?""I don't want anything."Tyler's eyebrows furrowed. "You can be honest with me. I'll fulfill your request as long as it is within my power."Of course, Vicky was happy to know Tyler. Under any normal situation, no one would resist having a generous boss that did not ask for many requests. Moreover, Tyler was the type of man who would only give more money and never less. It was a great shot in the arm for Vicky when she needed the money the most.However, she was not a greedy person. She knew the amount Tyler gave her was already more than her value, and this
Swiftly, the ward fell eerily quiet.Vicky and Tyler had been using their mother tongue language in their conversation, so Doctor Charlie did not know what they were talking about. However, he could tell from their expressions that they were fighting.He knew better than to stay in this room when the couple fought. He left the room silently without informing either of them when he saw the terrible look on Vicky's face.The ward was dead silent.Vicky regretted what she had said. She moved her lips and prepared to apologize, but Tyler beat her to it."So what?" he said gruffly.Vicky was shocked.Tyler's cold gaze on her remained. It was as if he had built a wall between his eyes and his true emotions so no one could peek into his mind to tell what he was truly feeling."What does that have to do with you? Who gives you the right to judge me?"At that moment, Vicky's chest inexplicably ached.Tyler said coldly, "Maybe you think it's a good thing to have friends, but that doesn
"Tyler! Tyler!""Wake up, don't sleep! Stop sleeping…!"Who was calling him?All of a sudden, Tyler opened his eyes."He's awake!" someone exclaimed.Tyler narrowed his eyes, and before he could see the one in front of him, he heard Doctor Charlie saying, "Thank goodness. You're finally awake! Miss Shaw, come and see; your boyfriend is awake! Thank goodness… If his fever persisted for one more day, his brain would've been fried!"Subsequently, he saw a thin figure appearing before his eyes.Vicky was thrilled and overjoyed to see Tyler finally awake. Tears rolled down from her eyes and dropped onto Tyler's skin."Oh, thank heavens. You woke up!"The tears dropped on the back of his hand and created an indescribable feeling. The tears were supposed to be cold, but they felt warm when they landed on his hand.Tyler blinked a few times to get a clear look. His voice was hoarse. "What happened to me?"It was then he realized how frail he sounded. Nothing like this had happened d
Vicky looked at him with a pair of shocked eyes. "You took a shower…before your fever subsided?"Tyler looked away to avoid looking into her eyes.What was wrong with him?Meanwhile, the irked Vicky turned and communicated with Doctor Charlie."I found the reason for his fever. I think he might've gotten it after he had a shower that day."Doctor Charlie was speechless. "Oh my god! He had a shower? Miss Shaw, you must stay in the hospital for twenty-four hours from today onward to take care of your boyfriend. If he had cooperated with us, he could've left the hospital today. But… If this continues, he may suffer serious after-effects."Vicky gave it a thought and nodded slightly. "Alright."Tyler heard their conversation and peeked at Vicky.Doctor Charlie nodded in satisfaction. "Miss Shaw, please take care of him for the next few days."With that, Doctor Charlie left.Vicky looked back at Tyler. "I need to go home for a bit to bring some daily necessities over. Oh, do you w
In the bathroom…Tyler had just taken off his shirt when someone kicked open the bathroom door with a loud slam.Bang!He was startled as he looked at the door.A thin young lady was standing at the door and looking at him angrily. "Mister Hart." Her voice sounded cold. "What do you think you're doing?"A young lady, barging into a bathroom where a man was inside…and there was no shyness on her face as she even gazed at his body.Tyler was a man, and he was embarrassed to have someone staring at him in such a manner. Despite that, he remained calm and indifferent.He also did not reach for his shirt to cover his body and remained where he was as he replied faintly, "Taking a shower."Anger thrummed in Vicky's veins. "Did you forget Doctor Charlie said you're in no condition to take a shower?""But I want to take my shower.""You're going to have another fever!" hissed Vicky."Not if I blow-dry my hair."Vicky was stunned for a few seconds. She asked, "So the reason you had
Regardless of that, Vicky could not tolerate it because she was never in this kind of situation before.Tyler hung his hospital gown on the side and looked at Vicky."Are you sure you still want to stay?" he asked."I…" Vicky's lips quivered. The courage she gathered disappeared into thin air when Tyler looked at her.Was she really going to stay here and look when Tyler had his shower?Since Vicky said nothing, Tyler prepared to take off his underwear.Just when his hand reached his waist, Vicky let out a shriek."Ahh! Don't take it off!"She quickly ran out of the bathroom and slammed the door shut.Tyler smirked when the door closed.…Immediately after Vicky ran out of the bathroom, she went to the window and opened it to take many deep breaths.What a crazy thing she just did; barging into a bathroom when a man was trying to take a shower and she nearly saw his naked body.'Just let him take his shower. You're not the one who's going to suffer. Why are you panicking?'
"All done."After some time, the silky voice of a woman rang from behind Tyler. It sounded gentle, soft like a bird's feather.Tyler closed his eyes to hide his emotion. "Thank you."His response came as a surprise to Vicky because Tyler hardly said his thanks to her. Instead, his thanks would come in the form of money, so it shocked her to hear him verbally thanking her."Go rest." Vicky put away the hair dryer. "I'm going to ask Doctor Charlie about the treatment."Tyler responded and slowly stood up. He just woke up from suffering from a fever for four days, and taking a shower consumed most of his energy. Thus, his body swayed unsteadily as he stood up.Vicky quickly came to help him and mumbled, "You can't even stand up steadily, yet you insisted on taking a shower."Speaking of that, she recalled what she saw just before.Appearance-wise, Tyler was lean. As a matter of fact, his figure was perfect, very muscular and toned with six abs. His lower and upper body proportions
