Chapter 1158

Vicky looked into Tyler’s eyes and spoke slowly, “It’s a clever move to have someone else do your dirty

work for you.”

“I didn’t make Avery poison you,” Tyler said tensely. “It’s easy if I truly wanted to poison you. Why would

I need to rely on someone else?”

“Having Avery poison me might be troublesome, but if the truth is ever revealed, you can easily shift

the blame onto her. After all, she has the motive to hurt me. If you did it and I discovered it, your

‘devoted lover’ image would’ve collapsed, wouldn’t it?”

Tyler pursed his lips, and his expression darkened at her sarcastic tone. “Vicky, you’d rather believe a

woman with ill intentions than believe me?”

“You want me to believe you? Sure.” Vicky shifted her gaze at the vial placed on the table. “Since you

say you didn’t

poison me… Can you tell me what you intended to do with this poison you bought?”

Tyler moved his lips but failed to form any coherent explanation.

She ignored his silence and continued, “Since you don’t want to ruin my face and you have the

antidote, why haven’t you cured me?”

“…” Tyler remained silent.

Seeing that Tyler had nothing to say, Vicky did not feel sad or disappointed and simply turned to walk

away.

Instinctively, Tyler reached out to stop her.

Vicky stared at him dully. “Do you have something else to say for yourself?”

Tyler lowered his gaze at her until her reflection filled his eyes. He swallowed hard, and his deep voice

took on a husky tone. “I’ll admit that I thought of poisoning you, and I did buy this medicine, but I didn’t

put it into action, nor did I ask Avery to do it.”

He observed the indifference in her eyes and an unprecedented uneasiness emerged within his heart,

feeling as though Vicky was slipping away no matter how hard he tried. He realized that he was about

to lose her.

He held onto her wrist and continued, “I bought this poison from the black market, and I couldn’t be

certain harmless to the body. I’d never use it on you without knowing for sure that it won’t harm you…”

“So you are saying that you didn’t use the poison on me simply because you don’t know if the poison

can actually do what it claims to do. Is that it?”

“No.” He tightened his grip. “I’m not worried about the effectiveness of the poison, but rather-“

Vicky interrupted him and said, “But rather my health if I take the poison, right?”

Tyler fell into silence.

Vicky sneered. “Since you’re concerned about my body, why didn’t you cure me the moment you got

the antidote?”

“…” Tyler wanted to tell her that they only found the antidote the day before and that they did not cure

her immediately because he learned from the doctors that the toxin had indeed no effect on Vicky’s

health.

It was at this very moment that Tyler finally realized he could never explain himself.

He did purchase the poison and considered poisoning Vicky; it was also true that he did not cure Vicky

when he found the antidote and was hesitant as to whether he should do so.

Vicky was only wrong that he was never truly involved in her getting poisoned, but that did not matter

as he had a motive and intention to do so.

“Tyler, you’ve tortured me for four years. Isn’t that enough?” she asked, seemingly tired of it all. “I know

that you thought

I poisoned you back then, so you want revenge for that as well. I’ve gotten a taste of what it’s like, and

yeah, it feels terrible. Tyler Hart, let go already.”

One could easily tell from her tone and expression that she was far too disappointed and lost all hope.
