Black liquid filled the glass, and its bitter scent filled the air.Vicky backed away. "What is that?""Herbal tea that's good for your health.""Good for my health?" Vicky scowled. "I'm perfectly healthy, so I don't need it."Tyler did not bother to explain any further and simply stared at her expressionlessly. "Drink it."She stared at the liquid and refused without hesitation, "No.""Do you want me to force it down your throat?" he questioned coldly.Sensing the threatening tone in his voice, she said, "Can't you at least tell me what that is? Am I supposed to drink anything you present to me? What if it's some sort of poison?"After a long silence, he said, "Your body has suffered great damage in the past, and you won't be able to get pregnant if you don't start taking supplements."Vicky's eyes widened as she recalled what the doctors had said to her when she went to the hospital for a body check.She was told that even if she tended to her health carefully, it would be
Doctor Yelmon seemed extremely interested in Vicky’s condition.Since Doctor Yelmon was assisting another patient overseas at the moment, she promised to return to Stoneford City to treat Vicky once the other patient was cured.When Vicky heard that Doctor Yelmon was back, she immediately said, "I'll be right over."...In a personal clinic, Doctor Yelmon performed a series of tests on Vicky.Though the clinic was not as big as a hospital, there was sufficient equipment.Since Doctor Yelmon was an expert in the psychological field, some of the equipment found in her clinic was even more advanced than the ones in the hospital.Doctor Yelmon was a woman in her forties and was first seen with a gentle, approachable smile on her face."Hello, Miss Shaw." Doctor Yelmon stood up to greet Vicky. "You have told me all about your condition, so let me run a few tests on you."Vicky nodded. "Sure."Two hours later, all tests had been completed, and Doctor Yelmon stared at the medical re
Once Vicky finished the tea, Tyler took the glass away.Recently, Tyler would make sure that she drank all the tea, and whenever he was not busy with work, he would even make the tea himself.Occasionally, when he was home late from work, he would bring home a flask containing the tea that someone had made.Vicky turned around and was about to rinse her mouth when Tyler called out to her. "Are you undergoing treatment to get your memories back?"She nodded. "Yeah.""How is it going?"Concern emerged on her face. "Nowhere. It's going nowhere."She still had not remembered anything, nor could she remember what happened during the hypnosis session.She did not feel anything either, and it all just felt as though she fell asleep in a doctor's office.However, after every session, Doctor Yelmon would look extremely exhausted, and Vicky could not help but feel slightly guilty about it.Tyler studied the worried look on her face and asked, "Do you really want your memories back so b
It would have made more sense for Tyler to divorce Vicky and marry Gloria instead, and if he dared to do such a thing, Vicky would insist on a divorce. Unless Tyler wanted to divorce Vicky, he would not provoke her on purpose.For him to have kept Vicky wrapped around his fingers, he must know what her limits were.Harvey was not as foolish as Alex was, and what Harvey did completely destroyed Tyler's plan."Vicky, I heard that you've been searching for memory experts," Harvey said."Yeah. I hired a famous expert known for curing amnesia. She's performed hypnosis on me a couple of times, but...it hasn't worked so far.""What's the name of the hypnotist?""Isabella."Isabella was extremely experienced and knowledgeable in the psychological field, so anyone who tried to learn more about the industry was bound to come across her name."I'm impressed by Tyler. He even managed to bribe Isabella..." Harvey chuckled. "More precisely, I wonder what he holds over Isabella to compel her
"How would I know if you are lying to me?" Vicky asked."There's no need for me to lie to you about these things." Realizing that this was not convincing enough, Harvey added, "Vicky, I know you want your memories back, and I can help you with that. If I can help, that should prove that I'm not lying to you about this, right?"His tone was so certain that Vicky could not help but ask, "You seem confident that you can help me get those memories back.""I've consulted doctors about your condition. Since you can remember some parts of the memories you lost, there's no reason why you can't recall everything. You were clearly on the edge of remembering everything a while back when you suddenly stopped recalling anything. Isn't that strange?"It was indeed strange, and Vicky wondered more than once about what the issue was.She had considered if the problem lay in the hypnosis session, but she shot the idea down.From her perspective, Tyler had no reason to stop her from recovering her
"What else?"Doctor Yelmon froze in shock as she did not expect Tyler to be so sharp.Not daring to lie, she explained everything she saw in detail.Tyler listened quietly and said, "Alright."He hung up afterward....At night, Vicky sat in her study and stared at the designs she drew on the computer screen.She had not moved at all for hours.Harvey's words filled her mind, and she could not find peace in any way.'If Harvey was telling the truth...what exactly is Tyler trying to achieve here?' she thought.Suddenly, the door was pushed open.Vicky looked up at the door and saw Tyler walking in with a glass of tea."It's time for your medicine," he said."Sure." Vicky accepted the glass from his hand and drank the tea in one smooth motion.After that, she noticed that Tyler was staring at her with his dark eyes that resembled two bottomless holes.She twitched and accidentally dropped the glass.Crash! The broken pieces shattered in all directions.Startled, Vicky in
Instantly, tension rose in the air as Vicky's words seemed to have triggered a taboo.She came to realize why Tyler never mentioned anything about their past; he was not hiding the truth on purpose but was simply reluctant to mention it because the past was taboo for him.Tyler fell into silence and treated Vicky's wound quietly.Vicky desperately wanted to shower, but she could not summon the courage to argue with him.Tyler put the first-aid kit away and walked over to the bathroom while Vicky stared at her foot and decided to give up on a shower.The way Tyler looked at her when she was drinking the tea was strange. She felt trapped under a gigantic net, and one look was all it took for her to drop the glass.She felt like he was observing her because he found out about something.Just as she was absorbed in her thoughts, Tyler stepped out of the bathroom."Your wound can't touch water," he said. "So you need to use the bathtub for a few days.""... Okay."Vicky was about
Tyler looked up and caught the dazed look in Vicky's eyes as though she was looking at someone else through him.The look in his eyes darkened, and he started to move roughly.Sensing the pain on her skin, Vicky snapped out of it. Her heart sank when she found herself staring into a pair of cold, devilish eyes.'I...didn't even say anything just now, so why is he looking at me like that again?' she thought.Not knowing how she had provoked Tyler, she lowered her gaze to avoid looking at him, only for him to lift her chin with his damp, long fingers."Who were you looking at?" he asked.Vicky was stunned. "I was looking at you."Tyler was the only person in the bathroom apart from her, so she could only be looking at him.His anger seemed to have escalated in response to her words. He leaned closer and repeated, "I'm going to ask you one more time. Who were you looking at?"They were so close to one another that they could practically hear each other's heartbeat.Vicky felt co
