Chapter 183
Vickyâs heart raced.
Every time she looked into his eyes, she would be overwhelmed by a strange feeling. The look in his
eyes seemed emotionless yet seemed to contain countless words at the same time.
Knock, knock!
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Vicky snapped out of her daze before walking over to
open the door.
âMissus Hart, do you need us for something?â the doctor asked politely.
âTyler is awake. Please give him a checkup.â
The doctors immediately leaped into action and hurried into the room. After checking on Tyler, one of
the doctors said, âMister Hart has stabilized, and all thatâs left for him to do is rest.â
Vicky nodded. âThank you so much.â
âYouâre most welcome, Missus Hart. Weâre simply doing our job.*
After reminding Vicky of certain things to look out for, the doctors left and Vicky called Nanny Paterson,
telling her to bring over some food.
Throughout the entire time, Tyler had not taken his eyes off Vicky. Even if she refused to look at him,
she could distinctly sense his eyes on her.
After ending the call, she turned to meet his eyes and said, âYou were just shot. Itâs not like you lost
your memories. Why do you keep looking at me? Donât you know me?â
He narrowed his eyes but continued to stare at her. âWhy is your cheek swollen?â
Vicky touched her cheek. She had already applied ice to it and got some ointment for the swelling from
the doctors. However, Sheila seemed to have struck with all her might and even after the night had
passed, Vickyâs cheek remained swollen.
Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by the knocking on the door as Sheila walked in
with Maggie.
Sheila was unable to hide her excitement when she saw Tyler awake and well. âYouâre finally awake,
Tyler!â She hurried over to stand by his bed and blurted out, âHow do you feel, Tyler? Is your wound
hurting? Do you need the doctor?â
âIâm fine. The doctors had already been here,â he said calmly.
Sheila was still worried. âWhat did the doctors say?â
âThey said that my condition has stabilized.â
She sighed a long breath of relief. âGood, then.â
Sheila then turned around to look at Vicky, who had remained quiet the entire time. âI know that you
donât want to see me or for me to get anywhere near Tyler, but Iâve recovered for the most part and will
be discharged today, so Iâve come toâ¦apologize to you, Miss Shaw.â
She seemed to have regained her composure and continued apologetically, âMiss Shaw, I lost my
manners yesterday. No matter who was wrong, I shouldnât have resorted to violence⦠Iâm sorry.â
Sheila had phrased her words skillfully. When she said that she should not have resorted to violence no
matter who was wrong, it meant that she was only wrong for hitting Vicky, but not for anything else, nor
did it mean that Vicky was entirely innocent.
Vicky remained expressionless. âYou were in a panicked state yesterday and almost got killed because
of my phone call, so itâs understandable for you to lose your cool, Miss Young.â
