Chapter 770: Chapter 772

“Sorry,” said Tyler hoarsely as he lowered his eyes.

Doctor Charlie shook his head. “You should be apologizing to Vicky instead of me.”

He then went to check up on Tyler. “He’s stable for now. The only thing left for him to do is to take a

good rest,” he said to Vicky.

She nodded. “I’ll make sure of that. Thank you, Doctor Charlie.”

Doctor Charlie quickly left after that.

Vicky poured a glass of water for Tyler. “Here, drink some water.”

Tyler side-eyed her before accepting the glass of water for her hands.

“Did you go to your performance?” Tyler asked after he finished drinking.

Vicky had an important performance, and the school had started rehearsing a month ago.

Recently, they were both so busy that they did not have time to meet up. The only communication they

had with one another was through the phone.

As early as last week, Vicky heard Tyler coughing through the phone. She asked him about his health,

and he replied it was just some flu, and that he would be fine after taking some medicine.

Vicky did not take his flu to heart because she was just so busy. Then came the day she was about to

board the plane to attend her performance. Prior to that, she had promised Tyler that she would call

him once she had arrived at the airport.

However, Vicky kept calling and calling but nobody picked up her calls. She even called Tyler’s

doorman, but he told her Tyler had not gone to the office at all.

Something was definitely off. Tyler—an out-and-out workaholic—seemed to have encountered some

problems at work and basically had been working until midnight every day, so there was no way he

would not be in the office.

Therefore, Vicky sent for a car to drive her to Tyler’s apartment. She had the keys to his unit so it would

be easy for her to get in and out of his apartment.

Previously, Tyler suggested that she move in with him, which she declined because she did not think it

was appropriate for them to do that even though they were a legitimate couple.

Previously, when she was taking refuge at his apartment, she allowed Tyler to have his way with her as

a way of repaying his kindness. After that experience, she knew how easy it was for a man and a

woman to give in to their lust when sharing the same living space.

After that, Tyler did not force the idea but still gave her the key to his apartment.

As soon as Vicky entered his apartment, she saw a passed-out Tyler lying on the floor. He was burning

with fever, so she immediately brought him to the hospital without a moment’s hesitation. copied from

As for her performance… Well, it was safe to say that she missed it.

To ensure a performance goes on without a hitch, a penultimate performer like Vicky would

undoubtedly have an understudy, and in this case, it just so happened to be Gloria.

“No, I didn’t,” answered Vicky.

Tyler looked at her and asked, “Didn’t you say this performance is really important?”

In fact, this particular performance was more important than all of Vicky’s previous performances

combined. Those who came to watch the performance were all well-known musicians in the industry,

and Vicky would surely have a bright future ahead of her if she managed to capture their attention.

Otherwise, she would not have rehearsed so intensely and, for so long, sacrificed her time with Tyler.

Vicky looked at Tyler. “As important as that performance was, it’ll never be as important as you.”

Tyler’s eyes faltered, and his gaze became darker and darker.

“Am I really that important to you?”

“Of course. You’re my boyfriend after all,” replied Vicky without skipping a beat. Although, for her, it was

indeed a pity to have missed the performance.
