Vicky studied Selene and instinctively thought that she was not as close to her as she claimed.
Nonetheless, she did come to visit her, and she could not possibly be rude. Thus, Vicky said, âJade,
wash and slice some fruits for Miss Rathborne.â
Vicky was in a VIP room of the hospital with all necessities available. There was a kitchen near the
bedroom, so everything was accessible.
Jade nodded. âUnderstood.â
Once Jade left, Selene glanced around. âVicky, where is Tyler? Isnât he here with you?â
Vickyâs brow twitched. âHeâs busy with work.â
Selene nodded. âI didnât just come here to see you, actually. I came to thank Mister Hart as well.â
âThank him?â
âYeah. You probably saw it on the news, right? The eldest son of the Campfields has been sent to jail.â
It was the headline for the past few days, so Vicky was aware of it.
However, she did not know what crime Issac committed. After all, it was common for men born with a
silver spoon to commit crimes and adultery.
âAre you saying that Tylerâ¦has something to do with that?â
Selene pretended to be shocked. âDonât you know, Vicky? Gloria came close to being defiled that night
at the masquerade ball⦠It was Issac who tried to force himself on her. Had Tyler not come in time to
save Gloria, Gloria wouldâve been violated.â
Not giving Vicky a chance to respond, Selene added, âWe canât possibly let this kind of scum go
unpunished, so Gloria and I went to the police the next day, but the Campfields wonât admit it⦠Issac
mightâve intended to defile Gloria, but he didnât succeed and thereâs no proof.
âWe were about to just swallow our pride and give up when Tyler showed up to stand witness for
Gloriaâs sake! We wouldâve never been able to put that scum away without his help! Oh, by the way, I
heard you passed out and came down with a fever that dayââ
Vicky saw through Seleneâs intention and interrupted her, âJust speak your mind. Miss Rathborne. If
you waste any more time, Tyler is going to be back, and youâll be in quite an awkward position if you
run into him, wonât you?â
Selene froze and scanned Vicky coldly. âYouâre still as appalling, Vicky Shaw.â
Selene intended to take advantage of Vickyâs amnesia and fool her around, but Vicky exposed her right
away.
She had not told Gloria about her visit, and she was indeed worried about running into Tyler.
âHad you not seduced Harvey while doing the same with Tyler, Gloria wouldâve ended up with Tyler. Iâm
here to tell you something⦠Gloria is still in love with Tyler, and there will always be a place in his heart
for Gloria, or he wouldâve never left you when you had a fever, only to stand witness for Gloria and dine
with her. By the way, I might as well tell you this, but itâs going to be Gloriaâs birthday next Friday. Sheâs
going to invite him to the party. You can try your best to make him stay. Iâm curious to find out if heâs
going to choose you over Gloria.â
Selene did not stay for long, and by the time Jade returned with washed fruits, she was already gone.
Vicky kept her head buried in her book calmly, so Jade did not think much of it.
Despite having a fever for days, Vicky was young and was recovering swiftly. However, she remained
as pale as a ghost and continued to lose weight. There were days when she would sit without breathing
a single word.
When Tyler went into the room, he saw Vicky staring out the window dazedly, and his expression
darkened. âOnce you recover, I can take you out.â
Vicky, who ignored him most of the time, turned around to look at him. âIs that true?â
Tyler walked over. âOf course. Where would you like to go?â
