Chapter 346
âVicky, Lily Foster is here as well,â Cece hissed, âand she is fanning the fire here⦠Jennifer has just
woken up, and Anthony brought that goody-two- shoes here to upset her!â
Not daring to delay any further, Vicky said, âDonât panic. Iâm coming.â She covered the speaker and
said to Tyler, âIâm leaving.â
Without waiting for his response, Vicky rushed out of the room.
As the door closed, the look in Tylerâs eyes darkened.
By the time everything was settled on Jenniferâs end, it was already after midnight.
Knowing that Vicky was afraid of the dark, Cece took a taxi to send Vicky home.
The car stopped outside the mansion, and Vicky opened the door to step out when Cece asked, âDo
you need me to walk you inside, Vicky?â
âItâs fine.â Vicky smiled. âIâm not that scared of the dark anymore.â
âButâ¦â
âI came alone, didnât I? Did I look scared to you just now?â
Cece bowed her head sheepishly. âIâm sorry for causing you trouble again, Vicky.â
âHad I not gone missing, Jennifer wouldnât have gone to Anthony for help, and Anthony wouldnât start
targeting her again,â Vicky said. âAlright.
Jennifer is still waiting for you in the hospital. Go back.â
Cece looked up and said, âVicky, Jennifer said to thank Mister Hart.â
The look in Vickyâs eyes softened at the mention of Tyler. âSure. Iâll go inside now.â
Cece nodded and told the driver to drive away once she saw that Vicky was inside the mansion.
The bedroom was completely dark, and Tyler seemed to have gone to sleep.
Vicky went for a shower and slipped into bed.
She could not see his face, but she could see that he was facing her with his back in the darkness.
Though Tyler never agreed to help, he sent his men to the hospital in the end to stop Anthonyâs men.
Stoneford City was Tylerâs territory and Anthony did not dare to take it too far, so Jennifer was safe for
the moment.
Vicky stared at his back and quietly decided that she had to cheer Tyler up the next day.
To her bewilderment, Tyler left for a business trip the next day and would not return for another two
weeks.
Vicky was depressed when she learned about it.
Since Tyler was gone, she spent more of her time in the hospital.
One day, she walked into the hospital ward and saw Cece chatting with Jennifer as they studied a
beautifully wrapped gift.
âWhat are you two talking about? You look so happy.â
âItâs a recent trend to buy blind boxes. I went and bought one. Weâre just trying to guess whatâs inside,â
Cece explained with a smile. âVicky, why donât you give it a guess?â
âIs there a general criterion?â Vicky asked.
Cece took out a poster and said, âThere are a lot of themes, like cartoons, fairy tales, ballroom,
horror⦠Just a lot of them.â
âWhat are you guessing?â
âIâm guessing a stuffed animal,â Cece said.
âIâve bought blind boxes before, and theyâre mostly garage kits.â
Vicky felt the weight of the box and said, âMaybe itâs a crystal ball?â
Since the three had all taken their guesses, Cece said, âLetâs open it up!â
Vicky was curious as well and found the tools to open the box.
The afternoon sunlight was soft and gentle, and the demon mask hidden inside the box shimmered in
the most terrifying manner.
