âI⦠Iâm fineâ¦â Angelaâs gaze flickered as she avoided Vickyâs eyes. âMissus Hart, you havenât fully
recoveredâ¦so itâs better to rest in bed. Otherwise, Mister Hart will worry.â
Vicky was a skeptical person. She looked at the uncertainty in Angelaâs eyes and suddenly said, âYou
seem to be very afraid of me getting out of bed lately.â
Whenever she made a move to get up, Angela would try to stop her and ask what she needed hastily.
At first, Vicky thought it was Tylerâs order to not let her leave the bed. However, seeing Angelaâs
behavior, even Vicky- who was slow to catch on-realized something was off.
Angela lowered her head, unable to meet Vickyâs gaze. âYour body hasnât fully recovered. The doctors
said you shouldnât get out of bedâ¦â
Vicky stared unblinkingly into Angelaâs eyes. â Miss Hill, you really are bad at lying.â
Just then, Vickyâs voice paused as she realized something.
The translucent curtains had been drawn in the bedroom all these days, and Angela became frightened
as soon as she reached the window.
Considering all the recent events, Vickyâs gaze gradually darkened. âAngela, are you all hiding
something from me?â
In the office, Tyler stared at the medicine bottle in his hand, lost in his thoughts. Just then, his phone
rang and he lifted his brow as he picked up the call.
When he saw Angelaâs name displayed on the screen, the look in his eyes grew darker.
âMister Hart.â Angelaâs soft voice came through. âM-Missus Hart knows the truth. It would be best if you
come back.â
Tylerâs expression darkened, but he showed no sign of being surprised, as he knew that he could only
hide the truth from her temporarily.
âI understand,â he replied.
After ending the call, Tyler put on his coat to leave.
Just as he opened the office door, Harry, who was about to knock, stood at the doorway.
Noticing that Tyler was about to leave, Harry hesitated for a moment, then whispered, âMister Hart, I
have made some progress on the investigation you asked me to do.â
Tylerâs voice was cold. âAnd?â
âIt is indeed a toxin, andâ¦â Harry glanced at him cautiously.â The doctors analyzed it and found that
this toxin is the same as the one you had me purchase last time. They carefully examined Missus Hart
and found no major issues with her body. Her recovery is going well, and they havenât detected any
additional toxins that could affect her health.â
âAre you sure?â
Harry nodded. âThe specialists who have been monitoring Missus Hart these past few days are experts
in toxins.
Theyâve conducted thorough tests but still havenât found anything.â
âCould there be a dormant period?â
âNo, according to your instructions, the doctors extracted and analyzed the toxicity of this drug, and the
result shows that there is no toxicity, let alone a dormant period.â
Tyler remained silent.
Harry observed his expression carefully and asked, âMister Hart, should we keep searching for the
cure?â
The afternoon sun was just right, and the translucent white curtains were finally drawn open.
Radiant and warm sunlight poured in through the French windows, casting a golden glow all around.
Vicky stood quietly before the window and stared outside blankly.
When she heard the familiar sound of footsteps approaching, she instantly knew that Tyler was back.
Instead of turning her head, she simply asked, âIs this why you refused to give me back my phone?â
