Chapter 1095
Vickyâs brow furrowed, and she turned her head.
A tall and imposing man approached slowly. He glanced at Vicky and relaxed visibly when he saw that
she was unharmed before turning his gaze to Valencia. âWhat brought you here, Mother?â
Although Tyler addressed Valencia as âMotherâ, his tone lacked disrespect, and his voice was cold and
indifferent, devoid of any extra emotion, as if he was merely addressing a stranger.
Upon seeing Tyler, Valencia regained her composure, devoid of the concern she showed toward
Lincoln. In a similarly emotionless tone, she said, âI heard some rumors this morning, saying that you
and Lincoln had a dispute over a woman, that Lincoln suffered serious injuries and was confined. I
came to check on the situation.â
Valencia intentionally said this to gauge Tylerâs reaction, but to her disappointment, Tyler remained
unfazed, his expression unchanged, and there was no sign of guilt or unease.
âAnd?â Tyler responded indifferently.
Valencia snorted lightly. âIt seems I misunderstood. Lincoln said it was just an allergic reaction from
accidentally eating the wrong thing. He said that he only kept it a secret to avoid worrying me.â
Although Lincoln came out to explain everything in person, there was a trace of doubt in Valenciaâs
heart, and she wanted to see if Tyler would reveal any flaws.
A flicker of darkness flashed in Tylerâs eyes as he looked at Lincoln.
Indeed, Lincolnâs face was covered in rashes; his once beautiful and jade-like countenance had already
transformed beyond recognition to the point that it was appalling to watch.
A barely noticeable curve appeared on Tylerâs thin lips.
Lincoln showed no surprise at Tylerâs return and said to Valencia, âMother, Iâll stay here temporarily to
recuperate.â
Valenciaâs attention was diverted, and she expressed her concern, âLincoln, you should come back to
my place to recuperate. After all, this isnât your household, and the care you receive here wonât be as
good. If you move back, I can personally take care of you.â
Lincoln gently reminded her, âMother, did you forget what I just said? I canât be exposed to wind or
light⦠Iâll be resting here with Grandfather. Itâs pretty much the same thing. If youâre worried, you can
come and visit me anytime.â
Hearing Lincolnâs words, Valencia sighed helplessly and no longer insisted. âOkay, rest well, then. Mom
will leave now.â
As Valencia passed by Tyler, she seemed to remember something and paused in her steps. âBy the
way, Lincoln.â Valencia looked back at Lincoln. âIf someone mistreats you or bullies you, you must
inform me at once, and Iâll seek justice for you.â
Ever since Old Mister Hart learned about Lincolnâs true background, his attitude toward Lincoln had
changed.
Initially, when Tyler injured Lincoln and caused an unimaginable disaster, he should have been
expelled from the Hart family, but Old Mister Hart deliberately favored Tyler, giving him a symbolic
punishment and sending him back to Zendonia, which ultimately shaped Tylerâs unruly character.
After saying what she wanted to say, Valencia left.
Lincoln turned to the servants, who were still stunned, and said, âItâs fine now. You can all leave.â
The servants left, and Tyler walked over to Vicky, asking,â Did she do anything to you?â
Vicky shook her head and turned to look at Lincoln. âIâm fine. Thank you, Second Young Master, for
helping me.â Lincoln smiled. âYouâre welcome, Vicky.â
