After a moment of hesitation, Aurora spoke, “Vicky, how about you give birth to this child for him?”
Vicky was somewhat surprised by Aurora’s suggestion. “Don’t you hate Tyler the most?”
“Yeah, okay, I do dislike Tyler and wish he’d stay far away from you, but… Given Tyler’s personality, he might kill you if you terminate this pregnancy.”
Aurora would rather her close friend live well, even if it meant giving a man she loathed what he wanted.
Aurora continued, “Vicky, do you remember Doctor Yelmon?”
“I do.”
Aurora sighed. “We were all very worried when you disappeared. But now that you’re pregnant, if he insists on keeping you around, he might hurt you somehow.”
Hence, Vicky’s friends could not act rashly without being fully prepared.
“We thought we could find a different angle to approach this and started looking for Tyler’s weakness. After some investigation, we found something related to Doctor Yelmon.”
Vicky frowned. “What did you find?”
“We don’t have the exact details. Doctor Yelmon has been extremely secretive about it. However, we did discover from her assistant that Tyler has been receiving treatment for years. We don’t know what kind of treatment he’s been receiving, though.”
Vicky’s expression darkened, and she remained silent for a long time.
Aurora cautiously probed, “If he’s been receiving treatment all these years, then could it be that he…”
Vicky understood what Aurora hinted at, even when she did not finish her sentence.
Knowing that Vicky was merely confined and everything else was fine, Aurora felt relieved.
After a few more words, Vicky hung up the phone.
She stared intently at her phone for a long while afterward before dialing a number that was not saved in her contacts.
She often dialed this number four years ago because of Tyler’s illness. Afterward, when Tyler returned to Molivia contact gradually dwindled. Still, she could recite this phone number from memory.
After a few rings, a woman’s gentle voice came from the other end. “Ms. Shaw.”
“Doctor Yelmon, do you still remember me?”
“Tyler hasn’t forgotten you. How could I?”
Vicky’s grip on her phone unconsciously tightened. “The hypnosis…didn’t work, did it?”
“No. He’s never forgotten about the past.”
Her phone slipped out of her hand, and it dropped to the ground with a soft thud. After a moment of being mentally conflicted, Vicky bent down to pick it up.
The call had not been disconnected, and Isabella quietly waited on the other end.
It was a seemingly random question, but Isabella understood what she meant and replied gently, “He didn’t want to see the disappointment in your eyes every time he came out of that room with his memories intact. He didn’t want to eventually lose the only memories of you. You might think forgetting
everything could alleviate your pain, but for him, it’s something he’s not willing to give up even if it kills him.
“Ms. Shaw, I’ve been waiting for your call all this time, but you didn’t call even after that wedding.” Isabella’s voice was filled with weariness. “His condition never improved, so I couldn’t stop him. As for why I didn’t inform you… I’m sorry, but I genuinely didn’t know what feelings you had for him. So much could change in four years.
“If you had called me sooner, maybe the situation wouldn’t be as dire as it is now. But since you were able to make this call, it means we might not be at the point of no return yet. Perhaps, there’s still a chance to save everyone.”
“Everyone? What do you mean by that?” Vicky asked.
