Chapter 670
Vicky was slightly taken aback. âOf course not. We know each other, and you pay me to listen to me
play, so youâre technically my boss. Itâs normal to care for my bossâ health.â
He nodded and did not say another word, feeling at ease that Vickyâs act of kindness was nothing but
an exchange for the money he had paid.
The look in Vickyâs eyes wavered for a moment as she studied Tyler.
The reason she mentioned that was only one of the many reasons why she decided to care for him,
and the main reason was that he reminded her of herself after she learned that his parents were alive
but did not care about him.
Deep down, Vicky had always been upset that she lost her parents at an early age, and at this point,
she no longer remembered much about her parents.
She would always imagine how life would be if her parents were still alive, but people simply had to
move forward. She could not allow herself to dwell on the past.
Knowing what to do was different from executing it, but she somehow managed to let go of the past
after hearing about Tylerâs parents.
Even if her parents were alive, she might not have the life she fantasized about at all, and in certain
circumstances, not having something could be more fortunate than having something only to lose it
later in life.
In the following days, Vicky would visit Tyler and bring him her home-cooked meals every single day.
Tyler was coming down with a fever and had a weak stomach, so he had to be extremely careful as to
what he ate.
Whenever Vicky would leave the hospital, she would receive a handsome payment enough to hire a
professional nanny.
Vicky was reluctant to accept the money because she did not want to sink so low despite needing
money. However, if she refused to accept it, Tyler would ask her the next day if she wanted more.
Vicky poured the hot soup into the thermal flask and thought of the first time she saw Tyler.
She was in a discomfited state at the time because her purse was stolen.
She had just arrived in a foreign country at the time. Had Tyler not appeared, she would have to seek
Gloriaâs help, and that was the last thing Vicky wanted because the way Gloria looked at her would
always feel contemptuous somehow.
Perhaps Gloria was looking at everyone in the same way, but Vicky would rather seek a strangerâs help
than feel like she was being looked down on.
She summoned the courage to borrow some money from Tyler and returned to campus.
Vicky knew she had no reason to leave Tyler, whether it was out of sympathy for his background, out of
gratitude for the help he had offered to her, or simply out of the fact that they were both from Zendonia.
After spending time with Tyler for the past few days, she could faintly tell what he was thinking and
knew he was paying her because he did not want to owe her anything.
âForget it. Iâll give him the money back when I have the chance in the future,â she thought as she
tightened the lid of the thermal flask and headed to the hospital.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator in the hospital, she saw Doctor Charlie rushing into Tylerâs
room.
Her heart sank and she immediately pulled one of the nurses aside. âWhatâs wrong? Did something
happen to the patient in that room again?â
âThe patient left the window open last night and started burning up again this morning!â blurted the
nurse before rushing into the room as well.
