Loving You In Secret

Chapter 822

Before Noah could finish speaking, he heard a weird noise coming from the other side of the phone, and his call was cut off.

He tried calling Vicky again, only to be greeted by the sound of the automated voice message telling him that her phone had been turned off.

Noah was gobsmacked. “Oh, sh*t! I never thought Tyler would move so fast. He’s crazy, absolutely crazy!”

He anxiously paced around the same spot over and over again with the phone in his hand.

Noah had ways of getting the latest news about Tyler, so had been keeping a close watch on him all this while. He heard that after Tyler was taken away, he was first locked up in a dark room for a week as punishment.

However, Tyler remained stubbornly obsessed after he was released from the room. Later, he was diagnosed as being mentally ill, so they administered electric shocks to his brain.

When Noah found out about this from his father James Canyer, he found the whole thing unbelievable instead of feeling happy.

“While it’s true that Tyler isn’t right in the head, he’s still the eldest son of the direct descending line of the Hart family after all. Aren’t they afraid that the electric shocks will fry his brain, or worse, kill him?”

James was known to have a fiery temple. He had been a soldier when he was young, and he firmly believed in the saying ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’.

He would not hesitate to discipline Noah if he was unruly. His anger made it hard for him to go easy on Noah, but deep down, he always saw him as his son. As a father himself, he understood where the

Hart family was coming from, but he would never use an extreme method like electric shock therapy to discipline his children.

James shook his head out of pity. “Senior Hart was the one who ordered him to be locked up in the dark room, thinking Tyler would give in by doing that. However, after Tyler was released, instead of showing any sign of repentance, he became even more extreme. In the end, the elderly Senior Hart became so angry, he nearly had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized.

“Tyler’s parents had always preferred their adopted son over him, and now that Senior Hart is in the hospital because of him… Well, I’m not surprised they’d want to make him suffer as much as possible. He might be their biological son, but he hasn’t been back home for so long that their relationship with each other is practically non-existent.

“Tyler and his adopted brother have starkly different personalities. His adopted brother is obedient and filial, whereas Tyler is rebellious and stubborn. They probably wish they could wash their hands off him. In fact…”

Here, James scoffed. “I won’t be surprised if they use this opportunity to get rid of Tyler once and for all.”

Noah was shocked. “No matter how much they hate him, he’s still their son! How can any parents bear to get rid of their own flesh and blood? Why, that makes them worse than animals!”

“I heard Tyler’s adopted brother ordered someone to rough up his girlfriend, Vicky…” James looked at Noah. “The very same Vicky who is your junior at school, and who also happened to be the one who called the cops on me when she saw me beating you up.”

Noah was a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said, “She didn’t know you were my father.”

“It was a good thing she called the cops because I might’ve beaten you to death then,” said James, knowing that his anger always got the better of him.

However, he knew he would no doubt regret doing that once he had cooled down, and that was why he had nothing but gratitude toward Vicky.

After that incident, he realized he needed to change and had been trying to control his temper ever since then.

As for Noah, he did not truly take the whole incident to heart because having grown up being naughty, he had slowly become immune to his father’s beating.

“What the hell is wrong with Tyler’s parents? Why are they being so cruel toward him?” asked Noah.

“Putting Senior Hart into the hospital was only the tip of the iceberg. The tipping point came when Tyler crippled his adopted brother right in front of their parents once he found out his adopted brother had ordered someone to rough up Vicky,” replied James.

“Crippled his adopted brother? In what way?” Noah asked hesitantly.

James glanced at him and said, “Let’s just say his adopted brother will never get to enjoy his manhood again.”
