    Chapter 1139


    Tyler was frustrated at how cold Vicky was toward him but could only remain calm as hended her in


    this position in the first ce.


    He bent down and nted a gentle kiss on her cheek. “I will be back soon.”


    Vicky remained silent.


    With a final nce at her, Tyler turned and stepped out of the room.


    After closing the door behind him, Tyler said to the guards outside the room, “I need to leave for a


    while. Call a few more men over to guard the room. No one is to step foot inside without my


    permission, understood?”


    “Yes, Sir.”


    After a moment of hesitation, Tyler added, “Vicky is not allowed to leave the room either.”


    The guards nodded in unison. “Understood.”


    With that said, Tyler finally left.


    After handling urgent matters at thepany, Tyler rushed back.


    Upon receiving confirmation from the bodyguards that Vicky had not left the room and nothing unusual


    urred, he


    finally rxed.


    Pushing open the door to the room, he found it quiet inside. He was concerned that he would disrupt


    Vicky’s rest, so he walked lightly.


    As he entered the bedroom, he spotted her lying on the bed, soundly asleep.


    The moment heid eyes on her, his heart finally settled, and he felt himself rxing.


    Despite knowing that no one could take Vicky from him given his current arrangements, he could not


    help but feel anxious when she was out of his sight.


    This sense of anxiety only disappearedpletely when he saw Vicky.


    Silently, Tyler walked to her bedside and gently pulled the nket over her, not even noticing how


    gentle he was being.


    At that moment, his eyes inadvertently swept over a bowl ced aside.


    The steam that once filled the bowl had already dissipated, and the soup inside remained untouched.


    Tyler was first taken aback, then a hint of annoyance appeared on his face as he considered waking


    Vicky up.


    However, just as he was about to touch her, his hand froze mid-air. After a brief moment of hesitation,


    he slowly withdrew it.

    In the end, he did nothing but continued to fixate his deep gaze on her unblinkingly.


    After some time, Vicky was awakened by thirst and reached out for the water ss on the table.


    Her head was still a bit dizzy, and her body felt feeble, so even reaching for the ss seemed


    extremely difficult.


    Suddenly, a hand reached out and picked up the ss from the table before gently bringing it to her


    lips.


    It was only then that Vicky noticed that someone sat by her bedside. She was momentarily stunned


    when sheid eyes on Tyler but quickly recovered to take the ss and drank the water silently.


    “Do you want more?” Tyler asked.


    Vicky shook her head. “No, thank you.”


    The man ced the ss back on the table.


    The sun was setting, and the room grew progressively darker as no lights were turned on. Tyler’s


    sophisticated features were shrouded in dim light, making it difficult to discern his expression clearly.


    Vicky felt the atmosphere bing somewhat heavy and noticed that Tyler seemed to be in a bad


    mood.


    Unsure of who might have provoked him, she remained silent and chose not to speak.


    Silence lingered, and the room seemed to grow colder.


    Vicky had no intention of breaking the silence, and in the end, it was Tyler who spoke first.
