Chapter 1226
âMister Hart is no longer in critical condition,â replied the doctor.
Harry sighed in relief.
âThe surgery was a success, but we need to monitor him in the ICU for a while. Itâs hard to say whether
heâll come out of this alive. After all, his body had gone through so much with the gunshots and the car
crash.â
After that, Tyler was wheeled out of the surgery room.
Relief washed over Vicky when she heard Tyler was no longer in critical condition. However, tears fell
from her eyes when she saw how white Tylerâs face was. In fact, he was as pale as his bed sheet.
The bandage around his head was tinted red by his blood, a stark contrast to his pale face. He was
lying quietly on the bed as though he was sleeping.
The aloof, arrogant Tyler had always been the one in control of any situation. When Vicky first met him,
she thought she would never be able to get close to him.
The man lying on the hospital bed was like a broken doll, and Vickyâs heart ached to see him like this.
âIs this the same man who played God with my life?â she wondered. She was used to seeing him
lording over her, so she could not accept this mere mortal as the Tyler she knew.
Very quickly, Tyler was pushed into the ICU. Through the glass window, she saw the tubes of various
life-supporting machines being inserted into his body.
Aurora walked over to Vicky and said softly, âThe worst is over now, Vicky. Iâm sure Tyler will bounce
back soon.â
âYeah. Heâs going to be fine,â she said, almost as though she was comforting herself.
At that moment, Harry-who had finished the formal procedures-walked over to them and said
respectfully, âMaâam. Iâve arranged for Mister Hartâs personal medical team to take over his recovery
tomorrow, and Iâve also buried the news of the car accident.â
They were in Stoneford City after all, so it was childâs play for someone of Tylerâs status to bury the
news.
âThank you, Harry,â said Vicky.
Harry smiled. âIâm just doing my job.â A pause later, he added, âWould you like to go into the ICU?â
âIâm allowed to do that?â asked Vicky with surprise.
âOf course.â Harry was not as dense as Adam. He might not know what happened between Vicky and
Tyler, but after so many years working for Tyler, he could tell his employer really loved Vicky.
There were three reasons for this. One, Tyler did not hate Vicky as much as he liked others to think he
did. Two, Tylerâs feelings toward Vicky were⦠complicated, to say the least. Three, he never wanted to
divorce Vickyat all.
âEven though Mister Hart is in a coma right now, the doctor said he could still hear the sounds around
him, so the doctor encouraged us to talk to him to speed up his awakening,â added Harry.
âOkay. Letâs do that,â Vicky agreed. She was, after all, very concerned about Tyler.
âPlease come this way. Youâll need to change into sterile clothing first,â said Harry.
âI want to go, too! I want to go!â said Aurora.
Vicky and Tyler were husband and wife, so nobody would question Vicky going into the ICU to talk to
Tyler. Aurora, howeverâ¦
Harry still did not trust her fully.
âIâm sorry, Miss Starling, but as you can see-â
âWhat if I say I have a way to make Tyler wake up quickly?â Aurora quickly proposed.
That got both Vickyâs and Harryâs attention.
âYou have a way?â asked Vicky hesitantly.
âMiss Starling, this is no joking matter,â said Harry seriously.
