Chapter 70
It had been some time since Vicky last called him. They had not spoken to one another since the day
they put everything on the table.
Tyler stared at his vibrating phone.
Vicky always contacted him whenever she wanted something and would cast him aside as soon as he
fulfilled his purpose.
Instead of answering the phone, Tyler simply said to the manager, ’ Carry on.'
The manager glanced at Tyler gingerly, noticing the dark expression on Tyler's face. He gulped and
continued to report.
Five minutes later, someone knocked on the door hastily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarry rushed into the office and whispered into Tyler's ear, "Mister Hart, Missus Hart has been in an
accident."
Everything felt like it hurt.
Pain pierced through her from head to toe, and through the misery, Vicky regained consciousness.
Still, she could hear a distant voice saying, "Mister Hart, Missus Hart has suffered severe injuries.
Though her bones are intact, she'll have a few scars after she recovers."
The sound of the conversation came to a sudden halt, and after a while, she saw a man walking over to
her. "How are you feeling?"
Unable to focus, she mumbled, "Hurts..."
Tyler scowled and turned to the doctor. 'Are there any painkillers?"
The doctor hesitated and said, 'There are severe side effects for overdose in painkillers, and since
Missus Hart has been in the hospital too frequently in recent times, I don't think we should put her on
any more painkillers..."
After a moment of silence, Tyler said, "Alright. You may go."
Once the doctor left, the room returned to silence and Tyler looked down to study her slim cheek.
"Rest. I’ll handle everything else."
Vicky moved her lips to speak but could not bring herself to make a sound through the pain, so she
closed her eyes once again.
Vicky was severely injured mostly from being beaten with a belt.
Jason had not shown any mercy at all. Had the people inside the room not been quick enough to report
the issue to the manager, she might have been beaten to death.
She did not get out of bed until one week later, and throughout that period of time, Tyler came to visit
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher every day and would stay the night next to her.
When Tyler headed for work, Nanny Paterson would take his place to look after Vicky.
She suffered different degrees of wounds all over her body and needed to apply ointment on all of them
to prevent infection. Since the ointment was often applied at night, it was usually done by Tyler.
Vicky tried to protest but eventually gave up.
One day, Tyler arrived later than usual because of work, so Vicky asked for Nanny Paterson's help to
apply the ointment.
However, they heard the sound of the door opening as soon as Vicky took off her hospital gown.
Tyler was the only one who would enter the room without knocking.
Nanny Paterson turned to look at the door and spotted Tyler walking over." Mister Hart."
Tyler narrowed his eyes in displeasure when he saw Nanny Paterson taking Vicky's clothes off. "What
are you two doing?"
Sensing the change in Tyler's mood, Nanny Paterson immediately explained.
