Tyler merely ignored Sasha and knocked on the door of Vicky's ward before stepping inside.Vicky opened her eyes and leaned against the bed as she watched the two enter.Sheila was still in her wheelchair, and she had put ointment on the wounds on her arms and legs. It was a sorry sight.Vicky merely glanced at the wounds for a second before looking away, and Tyler frowned at how little she seemed to care."Is there anything you wish to say for yourself, Vicky?"She pressed her back against the cold headboard and shot them a cold look. "What should I say? You took the liberty to say everything there was to say, didn't you?"Sheila stared at her. "So you're admitting what you did, then?"Vicky did not bother to look at them. "Whatever you say."Sheila continued, "Since you nearly drowned, I'm sure that you're physically and mentally worn out, Ms. Shaw, so... I'll speak on Sasha's behalf and forgive you for hitting her. However, she's now injured, and I hope that you can apologiz
Just then, someone knocked on the door to Vicky's room again, and a slender figure got in with a thermal lunch box in his hand."Vicky, you haven't eaten, right? I brought you some soup..."Sebastian froze when he saw Sheila and Tyler inside the room."Why are you here?" asked Sebastian. At the thought of Sasha who was standing outside the room, he caught on. "Are you here to confront Vicky?" He sneered at Tyler. "Tyler Hart, even if you don't love Vicky, you don't have to team up with outsiders to bully your wife, do you? Can't you see that she's sick in bed right now?""So, you do know that she's my wife," Tyler uttered pointedly. He glanced at the thermal lunch box in Sebastian's hand. "Mister Mills, I can't imagine that it's appropriate for you to treat a married woman with such care."Sebastian glanced at Sheila in her wheelchair and lifted an eyebrow. "But it's okay for a married man like you to care for another woman, huh? Tyler Hart, enough with the double standards. Eve
Vicky shot Sheila a half-hearted smile. "What exactly did I say, then?""Miss Shaw, you admitted to jumping into that pool just seconds ago. Are you trying to go back on your own statement?""Did I?" Vicky stared at Sheila. "How did I admit to it?"Sheila froze and muttered, "You..." Halfway through her sentence, Sheila paused, unable to make another sound."'Whatever you say,' is all I said, but you three were the ones who had been speaking the entire time. Every time I try to say something, Miss Sasha over there just tries to overpower my voice by yelling. I'm injured, so am I supposed to shout back?" She gave one final sarcastic look to Sheila and added, "Or is the louder one the one in the right?"Furious, Sasha pointed at Vicky and shouted, "I didn't push you, Vicky Shaw! Don't even think of blaming this on me! I haven't even called the police on you for hitting me in the head... You'll be in jail soon!"Vicky simply repeated what Sasha once said about Cece. "Whether you did
In Sheila's ward.Sheila stared at the man before her and asked, "Tyler, what do you…think about what happened?""I'll need to check the surveillance footage and understand what exactly happened before I can draw a conclusion.""And if Sasha really is at fault...""Then she has it coming," he said with a cold expression.She instantly realized that Tyler despised Sasha for what she did and did not intend to interfere.After a few moments of silence, she said, "Tyler, can you please help Sasha out? She's been the one by my side ever since I returned. I know that she has a terrible temper, but...you know that she's not a bad person. What's on her mind is all over her face."Besides, Miss Shaw hit her in the head, and she got badly injured from it, so I'd say that's enough of a punishment."All these happened because of me. Had my arm not been injured, Sasha wouldn't have resented Miss Shaw. Tyler, I know that Miss Shaw is your wife and you're in a difficult position, but please,
Tension rose in the air, and silence fell over the room as both Tyler and Vicky remained quiet.After a while, Tyler said, "And what if I trade Cece for Sasha?"Vicky jolted in shock and stared at the cold expression on his handsome face. "Are you threatening me?"He looked at her calmly. "It's not a threat but a trade. Let Sasha off the hook, and I'll help get Cece out.""Sebastian is my childhood friend. I can ask him for help. I'm sure he's more than capable of that, considering the Mills family's status.""That's right. He's capable of getting Cece out for you." Tyler did not deny it but continued, "But you won't resort to him.""Why not?""His mother doesn't want you to contact him to begin with. Besides, you've lost your memories and have only seen him once. You'll never make such a request to someone you're not familiar with."She scowled and was about to speak when he interrupted her. "Maybe you'd seek his help if you have no other options, but you do now." He looked
Sebastian's expression darkened. "Vicky, if nothing is troubling you, you can tell me. Others might be scared of crossing Tyler, but I'm not."The Hart family was one of the most powerful families in Stoneford City, but the Mills family was among those on the list as well.Feeling moved, Vicky said, "I've already decided, but thank you, Mister Mills. I've caused you a lot of trouble in the past two days."He scowled. "Vicky, we've known each other most of our lives, so you don't have to thank me... Don't call me Mister Mills. Just call me Sebastian.""Alright, Sebastian."He walked over to her bed. "Vicky, you might not remember this, but we grew up as friends. I know that I'm a stranger to you now and you can't trust me, but..." He looked into her eyes. "I know you. You would've never dropped the charges for no reason at all."She did not respond.He kept his eyes trained on her. "Vicky, can you tell me what happened?"All of Vicky's pretenses meant nothing to the people who k
Sebastian did not protest and simply said, "Alright, then. Rest well. I'll go now."Right before leaving, he added, "Vicky, do you still have my number?"Vicky thought back to her contact list and shook her head. "I don't think so."Sure enough, Sebastian's name was not on her contact list. Therefore, the two exchanged numbers before he finally left.Shortly after he left, Vicky received a text message from Sebastian and she clicked it open.It was a photo of two figures taken outside the rooms, their backs facing the camera. Even so, she still managed to recognize them: Tyler and Sheila.Underneath the photo was a caption where Sebastian wrote, [Vicky, Tyler is in Sheila's room].Vicky took a glance at the photo before looking away; she didn’t care about it.-The next day, someone knocked on Vicky’s door shortly after she had finished her breakfast, and Sheila entered the room in her wheelchair."Ms. Shaw, are you feeling better now?""Much better. Thank you for asking, Mi
Maggie was instantly rendered speechless.Just then, there was another knock on the door, and a man in a suit strolled in elegantly.Tyler stilled when he saw the scene inside the room and asked, "What's going on?"Maggie was sharper than Sasha and glanced at Vicky before saying, "After finding out what happened, Sheila was plagued with guilt toward Miss Shaw, so she insisted on coming here despite her leg injury and my objection to apologize to Miss Shaw, but..." Maggie paused before continuing pointedly, "It seems that Miss Shaw is still angry."Seeing that Sheila refused to get up until she accepted her apology, Vicky smiled and said, "Miss Young, Miss Perez is right; you have nothing to do with this. You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't have to apologize to me."She was wondering why Sheila would go through all the trouble to go to her room for this.She realized Sheila had staged it for Tyler to see.Sheila forced a smile. "Sasha is my cousin, after all. She has some
