Chapter 1717


    “Ms. Shaw said nothing else,” Harry replied.


    Tyler fell into silence.


    At this moment, Harry realized why Tyler had asked that question.


    Several years ago, Tyler had also been sick and injured a few times.


    At the time, Vicky contemted leaving him, and they had engaged in a period of tug-of-war. Still, while


    Vicky did not take


    care of Tyler herself, she often sent messages to Harry, asking him to take care of Tyler.


    She did not say a single word this time.


    Tyler was injured because of her, and it was only natural for her to stay in the hospital to look after him.


    Because of that,


    she spent the night with him in the hospital. If he had not told her to leave, she might have stayed


    despite feeling


    ufortable.


    However, when he asked her to leave, she did as she was told without much protest.


    Her change was so obvious that it was difficult to ignore.


    Harry observed Tyler’s face as he fell into silence and let out a silent sigh.


    …


    During the week that Tyler was in the hospital, Jade was responsible for ensuring Vicky’s safety.


    Vicky cooperated and rarely left the house except to take short walks after meals.


    She did not go back to the hospital but would asionally send Tyler a message, inquiring about his


    condition.


    Knowing that Tyler was in the hospital, Vicky refrained from wandering around to prevent him from


    worrying.


    One day, as she was picking up a book on prenatal education, a servant knocked on the door.


    “Ms. Shaw, there’s an elderly man outside who ims to be Mister Hart’s grandfather. He wishes to see


    you.”


    Jade had been in the room with Vicky the whole time and said, “I’ll ask Mister Hart for permission—”


    “Let him in,” said Vicky, interrupting Jade. “I’lle downstairs right away.”


    Jade looked at Vicky and said, “Ms. Shaw…”


    “He’s just here to see me; he won’t do anything to me.” Vicky set the book aside. “Besides, Tyler


    promised me he won’t


    interfere with my freedom.”


    Unable to refute, Jade apanied Vicky downstairs.

    Old Mister Hart was sitting on the living room couch.


    Vicky walked over to him. “Old Mister Hart, what brought you here?”


    Old Mister Hart’s gaze brushed over her lower abdomen, and he smiled faintly. “I heard recently that


    you’re pregnant, so I


    came to see you.”


    Vicky did not ask how he had heard this news and turned to Jade. “Please make some tea for Old


    Mister Hart.”


    Jade was concerned about Vicky’s safety. Thus, she had a servant prepare the tea while she stayed in


    the living room.


    “I heard that your pregnancy isn’t very stable. How are things going now?” Old Mister Hart asked.


    “It’s better now,” Vicky replied. “As long as I’m careful, I should be able to protect this child.”


    Old Mister Hart nodded and continued to inquire about Vicky’s health, while she answered each


    question one by one.


    After chatting for a while, Old Mister Hart suddenly changed the subject. “Vicky, you and Tyler… Are


    you nning to return


    to Molivia or stay here?”


    “I n to stay here,” Vicky replied truthfully. “I’m not sure about his ns at the moment.”


    Old Mister Hart naturally understood what she was implying. “You are about to have a child together.


    Are you not going to


    get back together with him?”


    “A child isn’t enough to make everything alright.”


    Old Mister Hart looked at her. “Vicky, no one is stopping you and Tyler from being together now.”
