Chapter 1400

Vicky lowered her gaze quietly.

Harvey spoke calmly, “Jackie has the key to your office. I thought of hiding in your office for a while, but

it seems you haven’t left work yet.”

Harvey’s assistant often came to Vicky’s office to collect medicines for Tyler, so Vicky entrusted her

office key to him.

“You’ve been shot. You need to remove the bullet as soon as possible,” insisted Vicky as she observed

his pale face. “Do you have a friend who’s a doctor? Maybe…you should have them come over and

remove the bullet?”

Harvey waved it off. “You don’t need to worry about this. I’m just resting here for a while before I leave.”

Vicky frowned. “Didn’t you just mention that once your location is exposed, you’ll be at risk of a life-

threatening situation? You’re injured now. If you’re discovered, you might not be able to escape.” After

a brief pause, she continued, “Since it’s relatively safe here for now, rest up. Cece and Jennifer are

away on a short business trip these days, so they won’t be coming to work.”

Harvey attempted to say something, but Vicky interrupted him. “Treatment can’t be delayed any further.

Call your doctor, and have them come over to remove the bullet.”

Spotting the determination in her eyes, Harvey finally nodded. “My phone is being tracked, so I threw it

away. Can

I borrow your phone?”

Vicky handed him her phone.

Taking the phone, Harvey made a call. 10 minutes later, a light knock came from the office door.

Vicky glanced at the peephole and, after confirming with Harvey, opened the door.

A young man stood at the doorway with a large black backpack on his back.

“Vicky?” The man’s eyes widened slightly at the sight of her.” You… You’re here too?”

“Ted Gibson?” Vicky was equally surprised.

The man before her was named Ted. He was Harvey’s friend, and they often raced cars together.

Harvey might appear carefree and was constantly surrounded by beautiful women, but he had little

interest in playing around as his real passion was racing.

Ted, also a racing enthusiast, had become acquainted with Harvey during their races. When Vicky was

still Harvey’s fiance, she had met Ted a few times while racing together. He admired her for

successfully winning Harvey’s heart through their shared love for racing and often referred to her as

‘Sis’.

During their interactions, racing-related topics dominated the conversation, so Vicky had no idea about

Ted’s profession.

After Harvey’s imprisonment, they lost contact and had not met in years.

Vicky looked at Ted. “Are you here to extract the bullets for Harvey?”

“Yeah.” Ted nodded. “Sis, why are you here? Have you gotten back with Harvey?”

“Ted.” Harvey’s weakened voice came from the restroom.” Vicky and I are just friends right now.”

Ted rubbed his nose awkwardly. It was no secret that Vicky married Tyler, but he simply could not

change how he addressed Vicky.

Vicky did not mind and said, “Go and check on him. I think he’s badly injured.”

Ted went over to check on Harvey, his expression darkening. “I should be able to extract the bullets,

but you’ve lost too much blood and need a transfusion right now. The blood bags are often stored in

hospitals, and taking them will draw Tyler’s attention.”

“It’s fine.” Harvey smiled. “It’s just a bit of blood loss. I’ll survive.”

Ted stared at him. “Without sufficient blood supply, you’ll take longer to recover. You can’t risk getting

discovered, and I’m afraid I can’t come over again after today. Once

Tyler realizes he can’t find you, he’ll have his men follow me.”
