Chapter 1339
Tyler slammed the menu onto the table and stood expressionlessly before leaving.
Stunned for a few seconds, Vicky then hurried after him.â Tyler, let me explain!â
He ignored her and walked through the door.
He took long strides, so it was challenging for Vicky to catch up to him. By the time she was out of the
restaurant, he was already across the road.
âTyler!â she called out anxiously.
She could tell Tyler had been odd, and she had to talk to him about it instead of letting it be. With that
thought in mind, she ran after him.
Beep!
At that moment, a piercing horn resounded.
Vicky instinctively turned, only to have a blinding light shine on her face as a black sedan hurtled
toward her.
Due to her anxious state, she had not paid attention to the cars on the road, and it was too late to run.
Vicky could only watch helplessly as the car rushed toward her.
âVicky!â Tyler called out desperately, and at the same time, she was forcefully pushed aside.
The car brushed against her cheek and sped past, raising a chilling gust of wind that tousled her hair.
Vicky was still in shock as she looked at the car disappearing into the distance, visibly shaken.
Tyler pulled her up from the ground and led her to a nearby pedestrian area before scanning her up
and down, seemingly checking if she was injured.
âAre you alright?â he asked.
âIâm fine.â
Under the orange streetlight, his handsome face was as pale as paper. He was panting heavily, and
panic filled his eyes.
It was as if he had almost been the one hit.
Tyler rarely showed such nervousness and anxiety, so Vicky approached him and gently hugged him.
âTyler, Iâm okay, really.â
While hugging him, Vickyâs heart ached for him when she noticed that his heart was racing, and his
body was tense. She comforted him as one would comfort a small animal, and she gently patted his
back. âIâm sorry, I was being careless. Iâll be more careful from now onâ¦â
âIâm sorry.â Tyler held her tightly. His low, hoarse voice sounded in her ear. âVicky, Iâm sorry.â
âItâs not your fault; I didnât look at the road. Itâs not your fault that I almost got hit. I should thank you for
saving meâ¦â
However, he seemed to have not heard a word she said. âI shouldnât have left you. Iâm sorry.â
Caught in the panic of almost losing her, Tyler could not absorb a word she said.
Vicky gradually realized that something was wrong with Tyler and looked up at his face.
His eyes were vacant as if he had lost his soul.
âTyler? Tyler? Tyler, whatâs wrong?! Youâre scaring me!â
Her familiar voice gradually brought him back to his senses, and he clutched her tightly. âVicky, promise
me that youâll never leave me again.â
