Selene stared at Tyler sternly. âTyler, you know that Alex has always been Vickyâs minion. Heâd do
anything she asks of him, and as you can see, heâs hardly the brightest bulb in the box. He wouldâve
never kidnapped Gloria if it wasnât for Vicky who told him to do it. I think that Gloria is kidnapped once
again because of Vicky, tooâ¦â she said sarcastically. âVicky has the perfect scapegoat, so she wonât
have to take any blame. I pity Alex. Heâs been betrayed and doesnât even know it⦠I guess heâs going
to take the blame for this again.â
Annoyed, Tyler said, âAre you done? Get out of my way.â
Selene froze. âTyler, Gloriaââ
Tyler completely lost his patience and shoved Selene aside before storming off.
Selene watched as he left and stomped angrily.

Five minutes before midnight, Tyler arrived home and found the bedroom in darkness.
The moonlight shone in through the gap of the curtains, and he could faintly see Vicky underneath the
cover.
Relieved that she was home, Tyler went inside, making sure not to make a sound.
Ever since Vicky started undergoing treatment, she had not had any dreams.
At this moment, however, the treatments had finally started to work, and she finally had another dream
of her in a hospital.
In her dream, Tyler was laying in a bed with a pale look on his face while she sat next to the bed in
tears.
Just then, Tyler finally woke up, and Vicky, who kept her eyes on him the entire time, noticed it right
away.
âTyler, youâre finally awake!â She tested his temperature and pressed the bell next to the bed. âAre you
feeling? Are you thirsty? Do you need water? You havenât been eating, so you must be starving, right?
Is there something youâd like to eat? I can cook for youâ¦â
Though there was joy on her face, tears continued to scroll down her cheeks.
Tyler was stunned for a few moments before he snapped out of it and reached out to wipe away her
tears. âI thought you were performing.â
She burst out crying at his words. âWhy didnât you tell me that you were sick?!â
âItâs just a cold.â
âYou are practically burning up, and you call this a cold?!â The tone of Vickyâs voice was extremely
stern. âTyler, if you keep neglecting your own health like this, we might as well just break up now!â
Throughout the year they had dated, Vicky, being the gentle woman she was, had never spoken to him
in such a tone even when she was angry.
She was never one to threaten him with the idea of a breakup and though they had countless
arguments, she had never once asked to end the relationship.
Up until that point, Vicky was still confused as to how they started dating.
