Chapter 1143: Chapter 1146

Vicky’s face was reflected on the transparent glass window. Half of her face displayed a dark blue-

black mark like a birthmark which even she found terrifying, let alone others.

Tyler stood behind her silently.

Vicky slowly turned and met his eyes before smiling faintly.” Do you not get scared sleeping next to a

face like this?”

She knew her smile must have looked terrifying.

Tyler stepped forward and gently embraced Vicky. “I’m having people search for an antidote for you,”

his deep voice sounded from above her head. “You will recover soon.”

Vicky buried her face in his chest. “When did you find out? Was it that morning?”

When she woke up to Tyler staring at her that morning, she noticed that something was off. It was the

same day when her request to get her phone back was denied, followed by Tyler turning Lincoln and

Avery away.

Tyler fell silent for a few seconds and said, “Yes.”

“Why did you keep it from me? Were you afraid that I couldn’t accept it?”

“I thought we’d find the antidote soon.”

“Antidote?” Vicky lifted her head and studied the delicate curve of his jaw. “So I was poisoned?”

“Yes.”

Acknowledging that it was a reasonable explanation for her condition, she asked, “Why was I

poisoned?”

“That’s still unclear.” Tyler’s brow furrowed slightly. “I’ve apprehended the doctors who have been

treating you and interrogated them, but we haven’t obtained any results.”

Since Vicky was poisoned, the doctors who treated her were the top suspects.

During the days when Vicky was ill, Tyler had taken care of her daily routines, so no complications

occurred.

All the doctors worked directly for him. Although the possibility of them being bribed by others could not

be ruled out, based on the interrogation results from these days, it seemed unlikely.

As a result, the investigation reached a deadlock, and the source of the toxin had not been identified.

Naturally, Tyler would not just wait around for the investigation results and had people look into the

matter while sending others to search for an antidote. >

He even sought out experts to develop a cure, but this toxin was extremely peculiar. It did not affect the

overall health of the body, yet it was difficult to neutralize.

Tyler looked down at Vicky. “Do you have any clues?”

Vicky shook her head. “I’ve been unconscious during these days, and the only person I’ve come into

contact with after waking up is you.”

Although Lincoln and Avery had come to visit her once, their stay was brief, and they had not made any

contact with Vicky as Tyler had been watching them closely, so they could not have poisoned her then.

Who poisoned me?’ she thought as she could not come up with a reasonable explanation either.

Seeing the serious look in Vicky’s eyes, Tyler whispered,” Don’t dwell on it too much. Leave this matter

to me.”

Vicky looked up and studied his face. “Can I have my phone now?”

He stared at her intently before nodding and ordering Angela to bring Vicky’s phone over.

Shortly after, Angela handed Vicky her phone.

As Vicky stared at her phone that was fully charged, her resentment toward Tyler lifted slightly.

At this moment, she realized that she might have misunderstood him. “Why didn’t you…explain

yourself?”

“About what?”

“About the real reason why I can’t have my phone back.”

“You weren’t wrong. I am possessive and enjoy controlling others. I have lied to you.”
