âVicky, wake up,â a nervous voice called out. âVicky? Vicky!â
Vicky opened her eyes and placed a hand on her head before realizing that Gloria was right by her
side.
âGloria?â sputtered Vicky and was instantly surprised by how hoarse her voice sounded.
Gloria stared into the dazed look in Vickyâs eyes and asked, âWhat happened, Vicky?
â⦠Nothing.â
Gloria was startled by how Vicky suddenly fainted. She tried to wake Vicky, but nothing she did seemed
to work.
She studied the pale look on Vickyâs face and asked, âVicky, did youâ¦remember something?â
Vicky lifted her eyebrows. âYeah. I did remember something,â she drawled.
A conflicted look appeared on Gloriaâs face. âHave you recovered all your memories?â
Vicky shook her head and closed her eyes for a while before opening them again. âIâll get you out of
here. Itâs getting late, so I need to go now.â
Vicky stood up and walked toward the door.
âVicky,â Gloria called out. âDo you still love him?â
Vicky paused, but instead of turning around, she said, âWhat about you?â
Gloria froze and was instantly at a loss for words.
Vicky waited for a while, and when Gloria failed to respond, Vicky opened the door and left.
The afternoon sun shone upon Vicky, but her limbs remained cold.
She stared at her shadow and felt a pounding pain in her head.
She received too many memories at once, and it was hard for her to process everything.
Vicky tried her best to remain conscious and returned home.
Tyler was not home yet and was likely unaware that she found Gloria.
She put the bracelet back on when she received a text on her phone.
[Did it go smoothly?]
It was from the same mysterious man who arranged for Vicky to find Gloria.
Vickyâs expression darkened, and she replied, [Tyler came over all of a sudden, but I hid, so I donât
think he saw me.]
[Sorry.] The man replied. [My men didnât find out that he was going there in time and couldnât get words
to you.]
[No. I should thank you for this.] Vicky replied.
Tyler was far too capable, and it was extremely challenging for anyone to track him.
[Have you seen Alex?]
Vicky stared at the screen of her phone for a long while before replying. [I didnât find Alex. It was Gloria
who was there.]
[Gloria? So Tyler is keeping his mistress there?] The mysterious man seemed surprised, which was
what Vicky would expect anyone to react when they were first told that Tyler was hiding Gloria.
Vicky did not explain much and simply replied. [Kind of.]
With that, she set her phone aside.
Exhausted from remembering the past, she drifted off to sleep right away.
In her sleep, she had more dreams than she could remember and the one dream that was stuck in her
mind was her final farewell with Tyler.
âIt really was you, Vicky.â
