Chapter 473
Since Vicky had that thought in her mind, she made an effort to reach for the crutch on the side. She
was not used to walking with the crutch, so she was slow with it. There were even times that she nearly
fell because the crutch got in her way and nearly tripped her.
The first-aid kit was just in the living room, not too far from her. Despite that short distance, it took her a
while to reach.
After she found the contraceptive pill, she took two out and was ready to eat it without water. Just as
she was about to put them into her mouth, she stopped all of a sudden and stared at the two pills in her
palms.
Appearance-wise, the pills looked the same as the ones she ate before. As she looked closely,
however, the shape of the pills looked slightly different.
Being a fashion designer, she had a keen eye for detail. Just one look was enough for her to tell the
difference.
The last time she ate the medicine, she did not know Tyler was the masked man. When she followed
Tyler on a business trip, she was so scared and panicked during those few days. She nearly missed
the time frame to take the pills, too.
At that time, she was not in a good state and did not take a good look at it. At this moment â
Suddenly, the door opened as Tyler entered after just finishing his work. He saw her sitting on the sofa
with his dark pupils and rested his eyes on the crutch Vicky put aside.
He moved his eyes and saw Vicky looking at the pills in her hands. His gaze darkened.
Vicky lifted her head like a robot to look at the handsome man at the door. Suddenly, she smiled.
âThese pills⦠You changed them, didnât you?â
Tyler lifted his legs to walk toward her. âWhen did you wake up? Why didnât you call me?â 1
Vicky looked at him. âCalling you after I wake up⦠Do you need to constantly remind me that Iâm
useless and canât live without you?â
Tylerâs eyebrows furrowed. âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
âAm I wrong?â Vicky asked.
Her situation was even worse than a canary locked up in a cage. Not only were her wings clipped, but
her legs were broken, too. 2
Tyler did not want to discuss that topic with her. He said faintly, âJadeâs prepared dinner. Letâs head
down and have our dinner now.â
He approached her, intending to carry her up in his arms, but she moved to the side and avoided his
arms.
She asked coldly, âYou havenât answered me. Did you change my pill?â
Tylerâs tone was plain. He did not seem sorry or guilty of what he did as he replied, âDidnât you already
know that?â
She suffered miserably and was tormented every day when the masked man harassed her. She
recalled how the man once bumped into her when she was taking the pills. She lied to him and said
those were vitamins.
Tyler said every medicine has its side effects and took the pills from her. He must have figured out she
was taking contraceptive pills.
When she discovered the bottle of medicine, she thought Tyler had forgotten to throw it. If she did not
discover that he swapped out her pills, who knew how long this man would try and cheat her about it?
Anger and hatred consumed Vickyâs heart, and her eyes reddened. In the meantime, a helpless and
despairing feeling crept into her heart.
Helpless. She felt helpless with this man. The only choice she had was to let this man do whatever he
wanted.
Tylerâs eyes flickered when he saw Vickyâs eyes reddening in anger. He remained calm and logical
despite that. He bent down to carry her and said faintly, âYou ate too little during lunch. Letâs go eat
now.â
He disregarded her emotions entirely.
The hatred was overwhelming. It was too much that Vicky bit Tylerâs shoulder with everything she got.
Tylerâs muscles hardened as his body tensed up when he felt the pain.
Within seconds, he relaxed his body and let Vicky bite him.
