Vicky lifted the bowl on the nightstand. “You should eat something.”
He stared at her intently. “My arm is injured, and I can’t eat on my own.”
Vicky had foreseen his response and unfolded a portable table before placing it on the bed.
“You’re injured on your left arm, not your right one. You can easily eat on your own as long as I place the bowl in front of you on the bed.’
After a few moments of silence, Harvey chuckled and shook his head.” I thought you’d changed, but you haven’t. Not at all.”
Harvey had only been joking.
Ever since he woke up, there had been a big frown on Vicky’s face, and he purposely tried to cheer her up with jokes, knowing she was unsettled by Tyler and the fact that Harvey was shot.
Indeed, Vicky had been tense because she did not expect Tyler to shoot and Harvey to take the bullet for her.
Harvey’s jokes had temporarily taken her mind off her troubles, and she quickly realized that he was trying to cheer her up.
“Thank you for saving me,” she said.
He looked up at her. “I promised that I won’t let anything happen to you. I intend to keep that promise.”
“Just focus on getting better for now,” she said hesitantly. “If… If we can’t get out of the city…”
He knew what she was about to say and interrupted her, “Jackie is on it now, and we’ll be able to leave within a week.’
Vicky felt anxious. “Are you sure that we can leave?”
Tyler was far too resourceful, and she consistently lived in fear under the feeling that she could never escape.
She would jolt awake every night, thinking that she had been found.
Harvey smiled, and the look in his eyes darkened. “Something happened to Hart Corporation, so he has to go back even if he doesn’t want to.”
A week later, Vicky saw the news about Tyler on her phone. When she saw Tyler returning to Stoneford City, Vicky felt conflicted.
Knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door, and Jackie stood by the door. ’Miss Shaw, the car is ready for you. We can leave now.”
Vicky walked out of the room, and when she noticed that Jackie was alone, she asked, “Where is Harvey?”
Jackie smiled. “He needs to take care of something and left ahead of us. We’ll meet him at the dock.’
Vicky nodded and was about to leave when she spotted the rose bracelet on the table.
It was an accessory that Harvey brought for her when he came back from the outside.
Though inexpensive, it looked delicate and the petals even had a faint fragrance, which Vicky loved.
She stopped for a moment before putting the bracelet on and leaving with Jackie.
