Tyler looked into Vicky's eyes. "Why didn't you take your phone with you?""I was in a hurry and left the phone at the door when I put on my shoes. I only remembered that I didn't have my phone with me…when I was at your office. I asked the guard about you and was told you weren't in today, so I came back."However, the distance from this apartment to Tyler's office was very far. It was difficult to hail a taxi since it was raining heavily, so she was drenched even with an umbrella.Since she failed to locate Tyler and did not have her phone with her, she could only come back to the apartment.The moment she saw Tyler, she was struck with happiness. Still, she did not understand why Tyler was mad at her in the first place.When she was on the way back, she kept asking herself what she did to have made Tyler angry. Was it because she agreed to have intimacy with him when they were not married or an actual couple? Was it because he thought she was alright with sleeping with any men?
Vicky looked in the mirror and watched Tyler use the hair dryer on. For some unknown reason, the sight looked rather hilarious.Suddenly, she recalled how she once used to dry his hair for him when she took care of him not long ago. The heat from the hair dryer felt warm and comfortable.After the hectic night, Vicky felt her taut nerves easing into comfort as she slowly grew groggy. Not long after, she dozed off.Tyler only noticed that she fell asleep after having dried her hair. He bent down and leaned forward to kiss her forehead.Vicky frowned at the sensation that disrupted her dozing off. She moved her head to the side and mumbled, "Tyler, stop it… I'm very sleepy…"Every morning after Tyler woke up, he would shower her with kisses to wake her up.Hearing this, Tyler stopped and carefully lifted her, looking down at her serene sleepy face.All of a sudden, he recalled how she tried to ask him a question but did not finish.'Tyler, are we…' Halfway through the question, s
Cece noticed Vicky's reaction and said, "Mister Hart comes here every day to hear any updates about you… He's even contacted a hypnotist. The doctor would've employed a hypnotherapist treatment on you if you remained unconscious."Vicky looked at Cece. "Hypnotize?""Yes. The doctor knew you lost your memory, so he suspected something had happened to the nervous system in your brain. He tried all sorts of methods but still failed to wake you up…"Cece then looked at Vicky. "What happened? Why were you unconscious for so long?"For some reason, she felt like something was different about Vicky ever since she woke up.Vicky looked out the window and said softly, "I remembered something."Dumbstruck, Cece exclaimed, "You regained your memory?!"Vicky shook her head. "Not all of it. Just a little.""Then…which part of memory that you remember?"Vicky gazed ahead as her voice sounded faint. "How I met Tyler…""When you first met Tyler, you say?" repeated Cece, sounding confused.V
Vicky's voice suggested she was in terrible pain. "I'm fine."Cece panicked when she noticed Vicky's pale face. "Hold on, Vicky! I'm calling the doctor—"At that very second, the door opened.A tall, lean man with a cold, regal face walked in with a group of doctors. It was evident how startled he was to see Vicky having woken up, and he took large strides toward her."When did she wake up?""Just a while ago…" Cece's voice quivered. "Mister Hart, Vicky is having a splitting headache again. Do we need to get the doctor to examine her? What if she passes out again?"Tyler looked back at the group of doctors and said, "Check her."A few of them were about to go near Vicky, but she stopped them. "I'm fine. Tyler…can you ask them to leave the room for now? I have something I want to ask you."A few seconds of silence later, Tyler said in a deep, cold voice, "Can everyone please excuse us for a moment?"The doctors did not hesitate and left the room immediately.Cece gave Vicky a
Vicky gazed at Tyler. "Why didn't you ever mention that we were once together?""Why?" His eyes were cold like the ice from the north pole, and he enunciated his words clearly, "Because it disgusts me so much just thinking of the past."Those words thumped Vicky's heart like a powerful hammer, and she paled.They used to be so happy and loving together. How did they end up like this?"Tyler, tell me the truth. What's the real reason we broke up?"Tyler responded coldly, "You should ask yourself that question.""Then…do you hate me?"Tyler laughed sardonically. "Do you deserve that?"This was not the first time she heard such a sarcastic comment from Tyler. She should have developed immunity to it at this point, but her heart still throbbed in pain nonetheless. It must have been because she just remembered how happy they were.He was a very gentle man in her memory, yet the man in front of her was so aloof. The only thing he encompassed was endless coldness.Instantly, Vicky's
Tyler said indifferently, "Arrange for a hypnotist to hypnotize Vicky three days from now."Harry was stunned. He knew Vicky had woken up.Something struck him, and he asked, "Mister Hart, are you trying to help Ma'am to recover her memory through hypnotization?"He was aware many were able to recover their lost memories with that method.It had been quite a while since Vicky lost her memory, and her unconsciousness was linked to her memory loss. Undoubtedly, Harry assumed Tyler wanted to help Vicky regain her memory to prevent her from falling unconscious again.Being a careful person, he asked the question to reconfirm, but Tyler's answer…was not what he expected."No." His voice was deep and cold. "She's starting to recall her memory. Tell the doctor to strengthen the barrier and stop her from remembering."Harry was dumbstruck. Without thinking much, he blurted, "Sir, what… What did you just say?"Tyler repeated himself faintly.It took a long while for Harry to react, so
Tyler's voice remained calm. "Gloria, you're overstepping your boundaries.""Overstepping? You're telling me I'm overstepping now?" Gloria's eyes reddened. "I was the one who sent you to the hospital, I was the one who took care of you in the hospital, and…I was the one you were looking for! If Vicky never came into the picture again, I would've been the one with you now!"The indifferent feeling she felt from Tyler made her feel insecure, and she grew emotional. "Tyler, please don't tell me you still have feelings for her!"In contrast, Tyler remained calm and indifferent. "It's none of your business."Gloria had a dull expression. "If it is none of my business, why did you pursue me back then? Why did you come after me?"Tyler looked down, so no one could see the emotion in his eyes."If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."With that said, he stood up."Tyler," Gloria called out to him from behind feebly. "Have you forgotten you said you were going to make it up to me?"T
Vicky had stopped dreaming altogether.Ever since she was discharged, Tyler had not been home.She wanted to talk to him, but he was nowhere to be found, and she was clueless as to what he had been doing.One day, she happened to walk past Hart Corporation.Upon hesitating for a while, she decided to go up to see Tyler.She desperately wanted a divorce before but changed her mind after remembering some things. Hence, she decided to postpone the divorce until after she recovered all her memories to prevent herself from regretting her own choice.She reached the top floor smoothly and knocked on the door to Tyler's office, but there was no response.Tyler was not in his office.Since there was still time, she decided to wait in his office.Her identification had not been erased from the system, so she entered the office with ease with her fingerprint.She glanced at his desk and noticed that the laptop was on and his car keys were on the table, which indicated that he would be
