Chapter 679
Before Vicky finished her sentence, Tyler had guessed what she was going to say and cut her off, âI do
mind.â
âGuess Iâll have only Doctor Charlie to ask, thenâ¦â muttered Vicky.
Vicky much rather drew a handsome young guy like Tyler than an old man. Nonetheless, she took her
drawing board, wanting to ask Doctor Charlie to be her model.
Since she had to stay in the hospital, there were not many choices out of the people she was close with
and those willing to let her draw them.
When Vicky was about to leave the ward, she heard Tyler speak in his deep, cold voice. âWait.â
Vicky looked back. âWhat is it?â
Tyler furrowed his eyebrows slightly. âIâll let you draw me, but you have to give me after youâre finished.â
Vickyâs eyes twinkled. âSure! The professor will only give us back the painting after heâs done taking
scores, though. I can give the drawing to you after that. What do you say?â
Tyler accepted this reluctantly with a short hum.
One day, Vicky was in the ward when she received a call from Alex.
âHey, Alex. Youâre here in Molivia?â She was surprised. âWhy didnât you tell me earlier? I could go to the
airport to pick you up!â
Alex sounded cheerful and excited, saying, âItâs no fun if I tell you earlier. I wanted to give you a
surprise!â said Alex.â
Iâm at the entrance of your campus. Come and find me now.â
Vicky paused. âIâm not there.â
Alex was unbothered by this. âWhere are you? Iâll go find you. It
âI⦠Iâm in the hospital,â Vicky answered.
âHospital? Are you sick?â Alex was shocked. âWhich hospital are you at? Iâll go find you now!â
âIâm fine. A friend of mine is sickâ¦â Vicky glanced at Tyler, who was reading, and said softly, âIâm taking
care of him in the hospital.â
âGosh, you scared me. I thought something happened to you. â Alex was relieved. âWhere are you? Iâll
go find you.â
Vicky hesitated. âNevermind. Itâs better if I go find you.â
Tyler preferred a quiet environment, and they would disturb Tyler from resting if Alex came over to find
her. After all, Alex was a noisy person.
Alex relented, saying, âFine. Iâll wait for you at the cafe near your campus.â
After Vicky hung up, she looked at Tyler. âMister Hart, my friend is here to see me. I need to go out to
meet him.â
Tyler flipped a page. âOkay.â
âIâm probably not coming back for my dinner. But donât worry, Iâve prepared yours in advance.â
âOkay,â Tyler replied.
âI wonât be too late. Iâll probably be back before ten. If youâre tired, please rest and donât wait for me.â
Vicky left Tyler with a few reminders before leaving the ward.
It was 10 minutes past 10 p.m. already.
Tyler furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at his phone. He debated with himself several times about
calling Vicky, but he stopped before pressing the dial button.
She said she would be back before 10 p.m., yet she was not even back when it was past 10 minutes
the time she said she would return.
Tyler was going to call her 10 minutes later, but at that moment, the door opened.
She walked in with lips curled into a happy smile. It was plain to see she was in a very good mood. She
was holding an exquisite paper bag in her hand.
From the pattern of the paper bag, it could be concluded that it was a gift from a man.
It surprised her when she discovered Tyler was still up. Her voice sounded softer than before-maybe it
was because
she was in a pretty good mood.
âYouâre still awake?â she asked.
Suddenly, Tyler found her smile rather irritating when he looked at it.
He asked indifferently, âDidnât you say you were going to come back before ten?â
