He continued in a low voice, “You should take responsibility for what you did to me. From today
onward, you will have to take care of me until my wound recovers.”
She snapped her head around to gape at him. “That’s ridiculous! Why would you-“
“Aurora and I will be staying here until I get better,” he answered.
“I won’t agree to that!”
“I’m not asking for your approval,” he said decisively.
At this moment, Vicky wished that she had stabbed him to death so that she would never have to deal
with him ever again.
“You just don’t know how to leave me alone, don’t you??”
Tyler shot her a look and mocked, “You severely injured someone. Did you not think about the
consequences before doing it?” ’
“Arrest me for my crimes and send me to prison, then.”
“What, have you developed a taste for prison now?”
Vicky said coldly, “Between having you stay here and going to prison, I’d rather choose thetter.”
Seeing the clear rejection and disdain in her eyes, Tyler’s dark eyes gradually turned cold.
“You would rather be in prison?” He sneered. “If that’s the case, I can’t grant your wish.”
Vicky rolled her eyes and scoffed.
Just as she was about to speak, footsteps could be hearding from the direction of the guest room
and Aurora came outside.
Vicky quickly distanced herself from Tyler, who looked at her with a hint of irony but did not approach
her further.
A look of frustration appeared on Aurora’s face. “Vicky, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t find the first aid kit.”
“My foot is fine.” Vicky disregarded. “There’s no need for medication.”
“Are you sure?”
Vicky nodded.
Seeing Vicky’s confirmation, Aurora did not insist any further. She nced at Tyler and said to Vicky,
“Vicky, there’s something… I’d like to discuss it with you alone.”
Vicky knew that Aurora wanted to discuss Tyler’s situation and stood up. “Okay.”
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
In the guest room, Aurora said helplessly, “Vicky, you already know about my parents’ situation. I can’t
go home right now, and I can’t stay with Tyler either, but the thing is… He’s heavily injured and needs
someone to take care of him…” As Aurora spoke, she observed Vicky’s expression. “Tyler’s
parents are not easy to get along with. If they find out about this, they won’t let this matter go. So, for
safety’s sake, I thought it would be best to keep Tyler here until he recovers. n
Vicky was speechless for a moment before saying, “You want to keep Tyler here? Aurora, aren’t you
concerned that I might take advantage of the situation? Sometimes, being so casual about things can
lead to a lot of trouble.”
“You’re right.” Aurora nodded earnestly and said with a naive smile, “But you and Tyler are exes. Since
you’re exes, it means that you’re not suitable for each other anymore.” 1
Vicky massaged her temples in frustration. If she had not witnessed how much Aurora cared about
Tyler initially and Aurora’s subsequent actions targeting her, she would have thought that Aurora had
no interest in Tyler at all! Even the most clueless woman could tell that something was going on
between Vicky and Tyler.
“Even so, you shouldn’t let your fiance live under the same roof as another woman.”’
“You’re… You’re not just any other woman…” Aurora said seriously, “You have a fiance, and he has a
fiance. It means you’ve both moved on from the past. That’s much safer than staying with just any
friend of mine.”
“Miss Starling, don’t you know what it means to be cautious? ” Vicky asked.
“I do, when we first met, I was quite cautious of you, wasn’t I?” Aurora said softly. “But through our
interactions, I
realized you’re not that kind of person, so I stopped doubting you. I’m also very secure about your
rtionship with Tyler. Besides… It’s not like I’m letting you two be alone together. I’ll be living here too,
won’t I?”
