Chapter 179
Mister Kirby looked at Vicky and asked, “Are you alright?”
Vicky blinked and tried to force a smile. “I’m fine.”
He stood beside her. “You were kidnapped. There’s nothing wrong with you calling your husband for help. You don’t have to blame yourself. But that woman…”
He chuckled. “The way she accused and lambasted you, makes me think like it’s her husband who got shot.”
Vicky looked at him. “Mister Kirby…thank you for saving me today, but I’m afraid-’
He knew what she was going to say before she finished her sentence. “I understand. Since your husband is hurt, you’ll need to stay here. I’ll get going now.”
He looked like he was a very casual person, but he was, in truth, thoughtful and caring. Most of the time, he could read her mind.
She gazed at him gratefully, more so than ever before. “I’ll treat you to a meal when I’m free one day. Call me anytime if you need me.”
“Sure.” He waved at her. “Bye.”
“Be careful on your way.
Mister Kirby raised his eyebrow and smiled at her before he walked away.
Vicky thus went upstairs.
At that moment, the atmosphere at the door of the operating room was tense and heavy. Everyone looked gloomy.
Ding! The elevator door opened, and Vicky walked out from it.
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound. The way they looked at Vicky was cold.
A tall, thin, young man stood out and stopped Vicky.
“Vicky! It’s enough that you’re the reason why Mister Hart got shot. What do you want, showing up here?!”
Vicky was uncomfortable with the way he looked at her, yet she remembered she was indeed the reason why Tyler was shot-all because she called him repetitively. Thus, she tried to explain calmly, “I’m sorry, I am at fault. I didn’t know you guys were in a situation.”
The man looked at Vicky with high alert and vigilance like she was some sort of hoodoo. “So you don’t know Tyler’s enemy is in the city?”
Before Vicky could answer, Sheila sneered sarcastically. “Of course she knows. She knows it better than anyone else. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense for her to show up in the hospital this morning. She warned me and told me not to look for Tyler or trouble Tyler anymore, even if I was near death.”
Harry had been quiet the whole time until this moment. He asked, “Miss Young, is that why you didn’t ask for help or leave any tracks when you were kidnapped?’
Sheila did not answer; her smile was more than enough as an answer.
Right then, Maggie, who just came not long ago, snapped, “Who else can it be other than Vicky? The people Mister Hart arranged to protect Sheila must’ve seen Vicky coming to the hospital to look for
Sheila!”
Tyler’s men had been protecting Sheila in the hospital. They would never allow any stranger or dangerous people to be on the level where Sheila was staying.
However, Vicky was Tyler’s wife, and she certainly was not a dangerous person. Thus, they did not stop her.
Harry looked at Vicky, and it was evident he placed at least an ounce of blame on her, too. “Missus Hart, did you say that to Miss Young?”
