âNo,â Vicky said. âI only got some part of my memories back. Thereâs still a big part thatâs missing.â
âWhich part of your memories did you recover?â
âThe ones of me when I first met Tyler.â
A glimpse of emotions flashed by Harveyâs eyes. âI recall you telling me that you knew Tyler long before
you knew me. Are those memories about your time with him when you first met?â
Vicky did not notice the odd look on his face and nodded. âYeah.â
Harvey seemed curious about her past and asked, âCan you tell me how you met?â
It was hardly an unspeakable secret from Vickyâs perspective, so she answered truthfully, âHe
overheard me playing the piano in the gardenâ¦â
She paused as she only recalled what happened after Tyler found her but nothing of her playing in the
garden.
âGloria keeps saying that I impersonated her⦠Was I really in such desperate need of money that I
pretended to be her when Tyler came looking?â she thought.
Harvey noticed that she was absorbed by her thoughts and asked, âVicky, whatâs wrong?â
She snapped out of it. âNothing. I just realized thereâs something else that I havenât remembered.â
Vickyâs heart sank as she agreed that it would be despicable of her if she had truly pretended to be the
person Tyler was searching for. Hence, she could understand why Gloria would resent her, or call her a
thief.
Sensing her gloomy mood, Harvey changed the subject. âVicky, hop in. Iâm on my way to the hospital
as well.â
Vicky was worried about Cece, so she nodded without hesitation.
They were not far from the hospital and arrived within 10 minutes.
Instead of going straight to Gloria, Harvey helped Vicky search for Cece, but Cece was nowhere to be
found outside the doctorâs office.
Vicky wanted to borrow Harveyâs phone when his phone started ringing.
He answered it and Seleneâs confronting voice instantly blasted through the speaker. âHarvey, whatâs
going on? Gloriaâs surgery has ended. Where are you?â
Harvey frowned and did not bother to explain himself. âIâm already in the hospital.â
âItâs no wonder that Gloria doesnât like you. You were never around whenever she needed you. I donât
even know what youâve been doing to be gone so long⦠You donât know how much Gloria has suffered
lately. Vicky is so vicious and she purposefully injured Gloriaâs hand in an attempt to stop her from
playing the piano ever again!â
Seleneâs voice was extremely loud and the corridor was empty, so Vicky heard every word she said.
Harvey narrowed his eyes in disgust and said, âIâll be right over.â He ended the call without a warning.
âIs today the day for Gloria to undergo surgery?â Vicky asked.
Harvey nodded.
âIâll come along with you to check on her, then,â she said.
âSure.â
The two went into the elevator and reached the floor where Gloriaâs room was located. They knocked
on the door and headed inside.
Inside the room, Selene was hysterically badmouthing Vicky at her best effort. âSeriously, Iâve never
seen a woman as shameless as she is! Gloria, you two must have a huge grudge from your past lives
for her to keep stealing your men! I swear, she mustâve staged that car accident so that she can draw
Tyler away!â
