You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1875: The Steel-hearted Woman

Vicki paused again, her mind filled with confusion. Ever since Felix woke up, she felt that something was off about him. She

couldn't quite put her finger on it. One moment he would ask her to leave, and the next he would ask her to stay.

Now he was asking her these strange questions.

"Why are you asking these things? Since you're injured, shouldn't you rest properly? Can't you stop being so difficult?" Vicki

furrowed her brow, speaking in her usual straightforward style.

"Difficult?" Felix thought he misheard, surprised that she considered him to be joking around. "Can't | ask?"

Vicki's brow furrowed even deeper. "l used to like him. | made it clear that day. So what?"

Felix's heart sank. She openly admitted that she liked Rayan, which hurt him deeply. What was he to her? Looking back, every time

they were together, it seemed like they were just engaging in physical intimacy. There was no dating or love. Even their marriage

was him seizing an opportunity to marry her and she returned the ring he bought for her. The child was something he wanted, and

she seemed to have no emotional attachment to the baby, almost taking both of them down together.

Felix opened his mouth to say something, but all the words escaped him.

"Just go." His voice was cold, tinged with heartache.

"Fine, I'll cback tonight." Vicki didn't suspect anything and turned to leave.

Felix was once again infuriated. Couldn't she see that he was angry?

As she pushed open the door, Luther and Joyce happened to arrive at the entrance. Seeing Vicki open the door, Joyce was the first

to ask, "Vicki, | heard Mr. Saunders woke up. How is he? Is he okay?"

Vicki replied, "The doctor said he's fine and can be discharged the day after tomorrow."

"That's good to hear." Joyce breathed a sigh of relief.

Felix overheard their conversation and muttered to himself. Even Joyce knew to ask if he was okay. That heartless woman, she

almost drove him to his death.

"Mr. Warner, thank you for your help this time," Vicki expressed her gratitude.

"You're being too polite. You've done more for us," Luther replied with a slight smile.

Joyce saw Vicki seemingly about to leave and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yeah. Felix toldto go back first, and | still have many things to take care of." Vicki responded.

Felix, standing not far away, felt even more exasperated. How couldn't she see that he was angry?

At that moment, Luther had already entered the hospital room and sat down next to the bed.

Joyce glanced at Felix in the distance, then looked at Vicki, feeling that something was amiss between the two of them.

So she took hold of Vicki's arm and said, "Don't leave just yet. Since you're here, lettake you for a prenatal check-up. | don't

think you've had one. I'm familiar with the doctors here, and it won't take long. It's better to be cautious during the first three

months, especially after the suffering and hardships you've been through recently and being busy with the Saunders family affairs.

You shouldn't neglect your own health. Cwithfor the examination."

"But..." Vicki hesitated, feeling reluctant to refuse.

"No 'buts.' Let's go." Joyce insisted and pulled Vicki along. "You're pregnant, and you can't treat yourself like before. The first three

months are critical, and you should be careful. Besides, you've been through a lot recently and have been suffering. It's important

to take care of your body. Come, let's go for the check-up."

Vicki felt embarrassed to refuse. "Alright."

Felix's face was filled with frustration and speechlessness upon hearing their conversation.

After they left, Luther glanced at Felix and asked, "So, you're already having a quarrel right after waking up?"

Felix quickly straightened his posture. "How did you know? Joyce must have noticed it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on

taking Vicki for a check-up. Thanks to Joyce, | didn't even think about it. Vicki was kidnapped and suffered at Seren's place. It's

better for her to have a check-up for peace of mind."

"You were clearly written all over your face. How could | not see it?" Luther chuckled.

Felix touched his cheek. "Yeah, | felt like | was quite obvious. But why can't she see it? | asked her if she liked Rayan, and she said

she did. In a fit of anger, | told her to leave, and she actually did. It's like she wanted to drivecrazy."

Luther ponderedfor a moment. "There's a new term on the intecalled 'steel-hearted woman.' Have you heard of it?"

Felix paused for a moment.

Luther shrugged. "I think it probably describes Vicki's personality type."

Felix was taken aback. "Steel-hearted woman? Why does it describe her so accurately? It's just too fitting! Vicki is like a steel plate,

no matter how hard you kick it, it only hurts yourself, and she doesn't react at all."

Luther raised an eyebrow. "If you're trying to get back at Vicki, it's a futile effort. | advise you not to waste your energy. Since

you've woken up, lettell you what happened in the past two days. After you lost consciousness, she brought you to the

hospital. Your condition was critical, with low blood pressure and dilated pupils, on the verge of death. | arrived later, and when |

came, she was on the verge of pulling out a dagger, threatening the doctor to save you. The blood bank was running low, and

there wasn't enough blood for you. She brought a few people by force to donate blood."

As Luther spoke, he couldn't help but rub his forehead. Vicki's personality was... indescribable. This was a hospital, and she caused

him to run around, apologizing to everyone.

Felix remained speechless.

Indeed, it was something Vicki could do.

She never mentioned it to him, even though she could have told him. But when he woke up, she only mentioned the things she

had been dealing with these past two days, in a business-like tone.

Luther lightly patted Felix on the back. "Cloud left yesterday after submitting the anti-electromagnetic pulse blueprint. He officially

left OGW. | arranged a new identity for him, changing his nback to Rayan. He was sent to a small island in the Caribbean by a

private plane. He won't be coming back. When he left, Vicki didn't go to see him off."

Finally, Felix's complexion improved slightly. "Good riddance."

"I know what you're thinking. You feel like there's a history between them, right?" Luther asked.

"It's not that | mind. I just... sigh, | don't know how to describe it." Felix's handsface scrunched up, and he irritably scratched

his hair. "I don't know what | mean to her. She has never made it clear. A woman who is willing to marry you, willing to have your

child. What else could it mean? She's just not good at expressing herself. If she had any lingering feelings for Cloud, she would

have left with him that day. Besides, with Vicki's personality, she would never turn back. You should know that. Rest assured, she's

yours. The child is yours too. Vicki won't run away."

Felix let out a sigh. Who said she was a steel-hearted woman? He could only accept it.
