Chapter 1721


    Tyler must have gotten the news from Jade, which was why he came back.


    He gazed at Vicky. “Did he give you any trouble?”


    “No. Old Mister Hart just came to see me.” After a pause, Vicky asked, “How’s your injury? Is it any


    better?”


    “Why didn’t youe to see me if you knew I was hurt?”


    Tyler’s question confused Vicky. “You asked me toe back to rest, no?”


    “Yes, but I didn’t say you can’t visit me.”


    “I feel like throwing up whenever I smell the scent of disinfectant in the hospital.”


    Tyler smiled coldly. “So you can’t evene once?”


    Vicky did not understand why he would be upset.


    “You told me to stay home whenever I text you. And like I said, I get nauseous whenever I go to the


    hospital. Plus, I

    haven’t been out more than a handful of times in the past few weeks.”


    “Do you feel nauseous because of the scent of disinfectant or because of me?” he asked forcefully.


    “No, you’re mistaken. It’s not that I don’t want to see you, but it’s really because I can’t stand the smell


    of the disinfectant.”


    “Then how do you exin you didn’t even call me once?”


    “I texted you, didn’t I?” asked Vicky helplessly. “I didn’t call you because I didn’t want to disturb your


    rest.”


    Tyler’s eyes turned inky ck. “Onest question. Do you still love me?”


    Vicky was stunned by the sudden change of topic. She quickly fell silent. ‘Did he overhear my


    conversation with Old Mister


    Hart?’


    Tyler walked over to her and looked down at Vicky’s wavering eyes.


    “You always prided yourself on only speaking the truth, right? Well, why aren’t you answering now?”


    “Tyler, you still haven’t fully recovered yet. it’s best if you go back to the hospital, or you might get an


    infection—”


    Tyler grabbed Vicky’s wrist roughly and stared into her eyes. “You don’t love me anymore?”


    Vicky wanted to change the topic, but when she met his gaze, she could not think of anything to say at


    all. She felt like her


    breath was caught in her throat.


    Tyler’s grip on her wrist tightened at theck of response. A cold glint appeared in his eyes.


    “Answer me, Vicky Shaw!”


    “You already know the answer, right?” retorted Vicky as she looked into his eyes strongly. “Why are you


    asking me when


    you already know?”


    Even though Tyler was prepared for the worst, he could not help but feel a shocking pain surging


    through his heart when


    she answered.


    She did not love him; that was why she could leave without a second thought when he asked her to go


    back home.


    She did not love him. That was why she did not visit him at the hospital, not even once. Even if she


    could not stand the


    smell of the disinfectant, she could have at least cooked something for him and asked the servants to


    bring it to him.


    He waited every day for her to visit him, to call him, or to text him. However, she would only text him


    every few days.


    “Why?” Tyler sounded like he was asking Vicky as much as himself. “Why don’t you love me?”


    His eyes turned red as he gradually lost control of his emotions.


    “Why won’t you ever love me?”
