Chapter 1608
Aurora and Noah had to handle the scandal.
Vicky nodded at them. âGo ahead. Iâll stay here.â
Aurora was about to say something else when her phone rang again.
Noticing that it was yet another call from Cassandra, she assumed that Cassandra was urging her to
leave. âWell⦠Well be off now, Vicky,â said Aurora.
âGo on.â
âCall us if you need anything,â said Noah before hurrying away.
As they descended the floors inside the elevator, Aurora mumbled in confusion, âWeâve known each
other for years and were never involved in any scandal, so whatâs going on?
I thought your family has a lot of connections in show business, so why would such scandals start
spreading to begin with?â
Noah was unsurprised. âWhy else? Someone is messing with us.â
Aurora frowned. âWho?â
Noah pursed his lips before he said, âYou just received those creepy dolls, and moments later, Harvey
got into a car accident. As soon as he was sent to the hospital, the two of us were in trouble as well.
Who else is capable of all that?â
A name flashed through Auroraâs mind, and she blurted,â Tyler Hart!â
Noah spoke coolly, âI mentioned during the day that you were celebrating too soon. You mightâve
thought I was being a cold blanket, but look whatâs happening now. Tyler has started making moves on
Vicky.â
âThat lunatic!â Aurora exclaimed, recalling the gifts Tyler sent. She snarled, âVicky doesnât owe him
anything! What makes him think he can treat her this way?â
âIn this world, there isnât always a reason for things to happen,â Noah said in a detached tone. âHarvey
has a strong foundation in Stoneford City. Attacking him from a business angle wouldnât be possible in
the short term, soâ¦Tyler resorted to a more direct approach. Now, Harveyâs life is hanging by a thread.
âYou try to reason with him, and he uses force against you. You challenge him with strength, and he
employs tactics,â Noah mused. âIf Harvey was his rival, he wouldnât have been so brutally deceived a
few years ago.â
Aurora clenched her fist. âVicky finally wants a fresh start, and Tyler is being so domineering!â As if
something had struck her, Auroraâs gaze flickered. âNoah, do you thinkâ¦
Tyler might remember something?â
Noah raised an eyebrow. âHm? What makes you say that?â
âHeâs been pestering Vicky all this time!â
âIf he canât get what he wants, he destroys it. Thatâs the kind of person he is by nature.â Noahâs tone
was languid. âThatâs why Iâve been telling you to stay away from Vickyâs romantic affairs. If there comes
a day when he loses his patience, he might just abduct and imprison Vicky. Wonât Vicky suffer even
more then?â
Aurora fell silent.
Not long after Aurora and Noah left, the door to the operating room was pushed open. Vicky thought
the operation had concluded and approached to inquire,â Doctor, how is he?â
The doctor gazed at Vicky with a stern expression. âThe operation isnât over yet.â
Perplexed, Vicky looked at the doctor. âSoâ¦â
âMister Sparks has a rare blood type. The blood in the blood bank currently isnât sufficient to complete
the surgery. I just tried contacting other hospitals for an emergency blood transfer, butâ¦â
The doctor looked troubled as he continued, âEven the blood in the blood banks of other hospitals wonât
suffice. The patientâs condition is dire at the moment. If we canât secure enough blood within the next
three hours, the patient mightâ¦â
Vickyâs strength drained from her body, and she unconsciously took a step back. âThe blood in the
blood
bankâ¦isnât enough?â Vicky stared at the doctor, her voice shaky. âIs it really not enough?â
The doctorâs gaze flickered briefly, and he avoided her eyes.
Seeing him evade her question, Vicky understood everything. âIs there really not enough, orâ¦did
someone give some sort of order to move the blood?â
The doctor avoided answering directly. âMs. Shaw, you⦠better think of a solution as soon as possible.
As doctors, we donât have much say in these matters.â
