Chapter 385
Vickyâs blood ran cold.
She had only been intimate with Tyler once in recent times, and she recalled that he used protection.
More precisely, Tyler used protection every time they were in bed.
Though they never talked about having children, she understood that he did not want any from his
behavior. Since she had no plan of having children in the present, she did not question him about it.
Vicky jolted at the memory of the masked man.
The man would always burn some sort of incense that put her to sleep right away.
Vicky could tell that nothing happened between them, but there was a possibility that the masked man
defiled her in her sleep.
Jennifer noticed the dark look on Vickyâs face and asked, âVicky, whatâs wrong?â
Confused, Cece asked, âVicky, you used to love children. Isnât this good news?â
Vicky faked a smile. âMaybe Iâm not pregnant. Maybeâ¦Iâm just having an upset stomach.â She paused
thoughtfully before whispering, â Donât tell anyone about this. Iâll get checked in the hospital. Letâs not
talk about this until itâs confirmed.â
The two women nodded in unison.
After hesitating for some time, Vicky eventually went to the hospital for a pregnancy test.
There was a long line in the hospital, and by the time it was Vickyâs turn, over an hour passed.
Half an hour later, the doctor handed her medical report to her.â Congratulations, Miss Shaw. You are
pregnant!â
Vicky froze. âWhat did you say?â
The doctor treated countless patients every day, and he could immediately tell that Vicky did not want
the child.
Since there were more patients waiting to be seen, the doctor simply said,â If you donât want the baby,
you can proceed to the gynecology department to schedule an abortion. Next patient, please.â
Vicky wandered out of the hospital, all the while thinking to herself, âIâm⦠pregnant? How can this be
possible?*
She wandered on the street for a long while.
The sky began to darken and her phone would not stop vibrating, but she simply ignored it.
At nine that night, Vicky finally returned home, still struggling to regain her composure.
She dragged her feet toward the bedroom when she heard a voice asking,â Where have you been?â
She jolted in shock and slowly lifted her gaze.
Tyler sat on the couch lazily with his long, elegant legs crossed. His collar was unbuttoned, revealing
his collarbone and the smooth skin underneath his shirt.
Vickyâs eyes darted away as she clenched hard onto the purse in her hands. âTyler⦠When did youâ¦
come home?â
âA long time ago,â he said emotionlessly. âWhere have you been? Why didnât you answer your phone?â
