Vicky’s heart raced.
Every time she looked into his eyes, she would be overwhelmed by a strange feeling. The look in his eyes seemed emotionless yet seemed to contain countless words at the same time.
Knock, knock!
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Vicky snapped out of her daze before walking over to open the door.
“Missus Hart, do you need us for something?’ the doctor asked politely.
“Tyler is awake. Please give him a checkup.”
The doctors immediately leaped into action and hurried into the room. After checking on Tyler, one of the doctors said, “Mister Hart has stabilized, and all that’s left for him to do is rest.”
Vicky nodded. “Thank you so much.”
“You’re most welcome, Missus Hart. We’re simply doing our job.*
After reminding Vicky of certain things to look out for, the doctors left and Vicky called Nanny Paterson, telling her to bring over some food.
Throughout the entire time, Tyler had not taken his eyes off Vicky. Even if she refused to look at him, she could distinctly sense his eyes on her.
After ending the call, she turned to meet his eyes and said, “You were just shot. It’s not like you lost your memories. Why do you keep looking at me? Don’t you know me?”
He narrowed his eyes but continued to stare at her. “Why is your cheek swollen?’
Vicky touched her cheek. She had already applied ice to it and got some ointment for the swelling from the doctors. However, Sheila seemed to have struck with all her might and even after the night had passed, Vicky’s cheek remained swollen.
Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by the knocking on the door as Sheila walked in with Maggie.
Sheila was unable to hide her excitement when she saw Tyler awake and well. “You’re finally awake, Tyler!” She hurried over to stand by his bed and blurted out, “How do you feel, Tyler? Is your wound hurting? Do you need the doctor?’
“I’m fine. The doctors had already been here,’ he said calmly.
Sheila was still worried. “What did the doctors say?”
“They said that my condition has stabilized.”
She sighed a long breath of relief. “Good, then.’
Sheila then turned around to look at Vicky, who had remained quiet the entire time. ’I know that you don’t want to see me or for me to get anywhere near Tyler, but I’ve recovered for the most part and will be discharged today, so I’ve come to…apologize to you, Miss Shaw.”
She seemed to have regained her composure and continued apologetically, ‘Miss Shaw, I lost my manners yesterday. No matter who was wrong, I shouldn’t have resorted to violence… I’m sorry.”
Sheila had phrased her words skillfully. When she said that she should not have resorted to violence no matter who was wrong, it meant that she was only wrong for hitting Vicky, but not for anything else, nor
did it mean that Vicky was entirely innocent.
Vicky remained expressionless. “You were in a panicked state yesterday and almost got killed because of my phone call, so it’s understandable for you to lose your cool, Miss Young.”
