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
Cece quieted down as her eyes reddened with tears. "Vicky, I know what happened. Sasha pushed you into a pool and was forced to forgive that murderer, just to get me out."Vicky narrowed her eyes. "Cece, how did you know that?"Cece clenched her fists. "I ran into Sasha on my way here, and she smugly told me everything."Not only did Sasha not regret her action, but she was proud to be released and bragged in front of Cece. She was close to beating her again.She recalled how Sasha pompously bragged, "Try laying a finger on me, b*tch. I'll send you back to prison right away! Vicky has been begging Tyler to help you out. She almost died trying, but seems like she pulled through. Let's see what she has left as leverage if you get into trouble again."Tears welled in Cece's eyes."I'm sorry, Vicky. Sasha wouldn't have pushed you into that pool if it wasn't for me... And now, she runs free.""Cece, if you had seen Sasha, you should've seen the wound on her forehead. I was the one wh
Vicky did not answer Cece's question, and Cece decided against asking any further questions.After staying for a while, Vicky asked Cece to head home and rest.…In the evening, Vicky stared outside the window as the sun set and made a phone call.Beep. Beep. Beep.After a while, the call was answered and a cold, husky voice appeared on the other end of the phone. "What?""I want to eat the ravioli from Legend Pasta House. Can you buy some for me later on your way here?"He stayed quiet for a few moments, seemingly taken by surprise by her request."You're asking me to...bring you ravioli?""Is something wrong?""Are you certain that you want me to bring you food?""You're my husband, so is it so weird to ask that you bring me food?""..." He fell back into silence.Before he could respond, she continued, "I'll rely on you for dinner from now on. Remember to get here sooner. Alright, I'll let you get back to work."With that, she hung up without hesitation, and that was h
Vicky hung up after a while and looked up to find Tyler staring at her."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked."What are you trying to do, Vicky Shaw?" he asked coldly.Tyler was a perceptive man and noticed the change in Vicky's attitude. After all, she was extremely cold toward him in the morning.Vicky took a sip of water and said, "Cece came to visit this afternoon."He waited patiently for her to continue."After she left, I thought about a lot of things." She looked at him. "I think that there's no point for us to hold a grudge against one another whether or not we stay married, right?""So?""You said that I can request something else, right?"Tyler narrowed his eyes. "Looks like you already have something in mind.""Yeah." She did not look away. "I know that I might've done a lot of stupid things in the past, and I can't excuse myself or make up for them even if I've lost my memories... However, there's no changing the past. I know that you hate me, and no
Tyler studied Vicky's face intently and, after a while, asked, "Why?"Stunned, she muttered, "What?""You should know the weight my promises carry." He lowered his gaze calmly.Feeling as though he was staring right through her soul, she said, "So…?""There's a high chance that you'll fail.""I know.""You could've asked for something better.""I know.""This might be the only chance you get to ask anything from me."She took a deep breath. "I know, but this is all I want."A long moment of silence followed, and tension rose in the air.Just as Vicky thought Tyler would disagree or that he would not say anything at all, he responded, "Fine."Relieved, she looked up, but immediately looked away when she met his eyes.Tyler ignored her and made a call to his assistant to explain the situation before commanding, "Type up an agreement."Half an hour later, Tyler's assistant, Harry, came in. "Mister Hart, here's the agreement you asked for."Tyler nodded and turned to look at
However, a smart woman knew when to stop. Since Tyler did not love her, Vicky knew better than to be greedy.Tyler's promise was hard to come by and could be extremely useful depending on the circumstances.What Vicky requested was reasonable, so without another word, Tyler simply ordered Harry to note down her words.Half an hour later, Harry added Vicky's request to the agreement while Nanny Paterson arrived with dinner."Sir, your dinner.""It's fine. I'll eat outside later," Tyler said.Vicky immediately interfered. "Mister Hart, as a husband, you're supposed to stay with your wife while she's admitted to the hospital."He scowled. "You want me to stay here with you?""Is that so wrong?" Vicky asked. "It's written in our agreement that you have to fulfill the responsibility of a husband within the following three months. Leaving your wife while she's ill is a violation of the agreement."In the agreement, it was written that if Tyler acted against any of the conditions lis
At nine in the evening, Tyler returned with a laptop and some of his belongings.Vicky was reading at the time and asked, "How is Miss Young?""Her bones aren't fractured or damaged, so she'll be discharged in a few days' time."She nodded and returned to her book.Spotting the book in her hands, he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "What are you reading?""Fashion-related book," she muttered as she flipped through the pages. "Cece told me that I opened my own studio before the accident, and since I'll have to get back to work after I'm discharged, I'll have to familiarize myself with what I've done in the past.""Do you still remember those things?"Amused by his question, she looked up. "I've lost my memories, not my entire brain. I might not remember the past, but I won't forget about the skills that I've acquired in the past."People who had lost their memories would not struggle to apply skills they had learned, such as how to eat, drink, or change.Vicky studied his face i
