Chapter 1249

As Vicky slept, however, she felt something gently stroking her cheek. It almost felt as though she was

tickled by a feather.

Vicky instinctively scratched her cheek, and the tickling sensation disappeared. After a while, her cheek

started itching again.

Vicky had not been sleeping well and started to sober up due to the sensation.

Her long eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of cold, disdainful eyes were staring at her silently.

Vicky was taken aback before exclaiming with delight, “Tyler! You’re awake?!’

She reached out to feel the temperature on his forehead, but he turned his head away, avoiding her

touch.

Vicky’s hand stiffened for a moment. “How do you feel now? Are you still uncomfortable?” she asked.

Tyler did not answer her question, and the look in his eyes remained distant. “Why are you here?” His

voice was hoarse, but his disdain and detachment were unmistakable.

“I’m sorry,” Vicky apologized softly. “About yesterday… It was my fault.”

Tyler sneered. “I recall hearing you solemnly promising yesterday that you’d never appear in front of

me again.” He scanned her from head to toe. “Did you come prepared with the divorce agreement for

me to sign, Ms. Shaw?”

Vicky told herself countless times to not argue with him and not to be influenced by his words.

However, upon hearing his cold taunts, she almost broke her resolve.

“Yesterday… I acted impulsively, and I’m sorry about that.” Vicky gazed into his dark eyes. “You got

injured because of me, and I shouldn’t have left you alone at the hospital.”

“So you do remember why I’m in a hospital to begin with, huh?” Tyler’s expression remained blank.

“Here I thought you’ve lost her memory, too.”

“I… I’m sorry, this won’t happen again in the future,’ said Vicky.

“In the future?” His thin lips curved slightly. ‘Do you think I’d still believe you?”

Vicky wanted to argue but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Subsequently, Aurora walked in. “Vicky, I’ll go buy breakfast in a bit. What do you want to eat? I’ll get

you some-” Her gaze swept across the room and fell on Tyler.

She paused for a moment, then smiled. “Two critically ill notifications were issued yesterday, so I didn’t

expect the almighty Mister Hart to wake up so soon!”

The look in Tyler’s eyes darkened further at the sight of Aurora. “Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Starling.”

Aurora pouted. “You did it again, Tyler; you managed to fill Vicky so full of guilt that she went back on

her word and rushed here in the middle of the night to see you.”

“Are you saying that I did this on purpose?’ he questioned.

“You know the answer to that.”

The more Aurora dwelled on it, the more she realized that something was wrong.

Tyler had always accepted being taken care of by Vicky despite what he said, and it surprised Aurora

that he chased Vicky out.

At this moment, Aurora realized that it was only another one of his tactics to pin Vicky down so she

could not leave again even if she wanted to. “Fine. I did all this on purpose. I brought this on myself,”

he said coldly.
