Chapter 1083

When Lincoln woke up, it was already late at night.

The room was lit with a warm orange glow, bright but not glaring. Vicky stood by the window, silently

gazing at the moon outside, lost in her thoughts.

“Vicky…” A weak voice came from behind her.

Vicky turned around and saw that Lincoln had awakened. She hurried over and asked, “Second Young

Master, how do you feel now?”

Lincoln silently looked at her for a few seconds. “Do you have to be so polite with me?” he muttered

with a faint sigh.

Vicky’s lips moved, but no words came out.

“I know we’ve only recently met in person, but we’ve known each other for many years. We can

consider ourselves old friends. I understand that you’re in a difficult position because of Tyler, but that’s

a matter between men…” Lincoln’s gaze softened as he looked at her. “You don’t need to take sides,

nor do you need to choose between us.”

The injuries on Lincoln’s face looked rather alarming, but his eyes remained tender and carried a

reassuring strength.

Tyler and Lincoln, in terms of character and temperament, were like night and day. One was cold and

oppressive, while the other was gentle and considerate.

Vicky suddenly understood why Valencia and Orion

preferred Lincoln over Tyler, i

Noticing her silence, Lincoln did not press the matter further and glanced around. “Where am I…?”

Vicky whispered, “After you fainted, I didn’t know who else to turn to for help, so I went to find Old

Mister Hart… This is his residential area.”

Lincoln was sharp enough to instantly realize Vicky’s true intention and that she sought Old Mister

Hart’s help just to keep Valencia and Orion from knowing about his injuries, which were caused by

Tyler.

Instead of exposing her, Lincoln smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll be relying on you and Grandfather

during this time.”

Vicky felt even more guilty as she realized that Lincoln had guessed her intentions. “I’m sorry for

causing you such a severe injury because of my relationship with Tyler.”

Lincoln merely helped her yet had to bear the brunt of Tyler’s attack as a result of that, and Vicky could

not shirk her responsibility in this matter. 1

She looked at Lincoln and said, “I’ll take good care of you during this time.”

Lincoln glanced at the time and spoke in a warm voice, “It’s getting late now. You should go back and

rest. If there’s anything, I’ll call for you.”

It was very late, and it was not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together in a room.

Vicky nodded. “Alright. Please let me know if you need anything.”

Lincoln smiled in response.

Leaving Lincoln’s room, Vicky headed toward her room.

As she passed Tyler’s room, her footsteps paused for a few seconds.

‘Tyler hasn’t returned today.’ The thought quickly flashed through Vicky’s mind.

She was completely disappointed in Tyler at this point.

Upon returning to her room, she took a shower and went to bed.

She thought that she would struggle to fall asleep, but she drifted off to sleep immediately-to her

surprise.

Sometime later, she heard noises coming from the door.

Vicky was more alert since she was not at her own home and instantly jolted awake to find a dark

figure approaching her from the door.
