way above ours.”
Vicky frowned. “That sounds really serious! Are they to make the company fold under?”
She might not know how to run a ninja.com large company, but even she knew just how important a
company’s liquid assets were. Both the company’s buying and selling activity would be adversely affected if its
liquid assets were frozen. In fact, many companies had no choice but to declare bankruptcy due to this reason.
Tyler’s expression, however, was calm. There was not even a single trace of nervousness.
“The other party will not stop until it has reached its intended purpose.”
Vicky looked at Tyler. She wanted to say something that could comfort him but did not know where to start. Instead,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe sighed and simply said, “Let us eat first.”
…
The next day, Vicky rushed out of the hospital after having her breakfast. She did not come back for the whole day,
and Doctor Charlie was the one who brought Tyler his lunch and dinner.
Tyler called Vicky a few times, but she would simply tell him she had something to do and that she would be back
late. Whenever he asked her what she was doing, she would either change the topic or hang up the phone.
Boom!
The silver lightning streak was accompanied by the sound of roaring thunder, and heavy rain soon poured down
from the sky.
However, Vicky still was not back.

“Tyler?” Vicky was confused to see Tyler dressed and ready to go out. “Where are you going?”
Tyler did not answer her question. Instead, he just stared at her; his handsome face tensed.
“Where have you been all this while?”
“I…” Vicky averted her gaze. “I went home to get something…”

go?”

“What…”
Vicky lowered her head and explained in a small voice, “I saved all the money you wired me last time for taking
care of you, and now that your company is in trouble… I thought why not return the money to you so that maybe…
maybe it can tide the company over until a more long-term solution can be found…”
Tyler glanced at the thick wad of cash and said, “This is more than what I gave you last time.”
“The rest is…from my savings. It might not be much, but it could perhaps buy you some more time…” A thought
suddenly occurred to Vicky. She raised her head and looked into Tyler’s dark eyes. “It goes without saying I’m only
lending you the money. You can pay me back when you have money to spare.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jeremy pulled her into a tight embrace.
“Vicky, thank you,” he said hoarsely. He knew the reason she insisted he had to pay her back the money was to
protect his ego. In fact, he was sure she would not even tell him she was the one who gave him the money if he did
