Chapter 1225
Aurora was stunned, but she then smiled happily. She knew this was Vicky's way of telling her she had forgiven her.
Nonetheless, she reminded herself to calm down since Tyler's condition was unstable.
Aurora held Vicky's hand and said, "No need to thank me. After all, what are friends for?’
She never had a real friend growing up since her parents controlled every aspect of her life. Thus, meeting Vicky
was the best thing that ever happened to her. Not only did she find a real friend in her, but she was allowed to go
after her dream, too. She told herself to cherish this friendship no matter what.
Minutes ticked by, and the sky outside darkened. The fluorescent light in the hospital corridor cast a deathly pale

At that moment, seconds felt like years to Vicky; which was something she never experienced before. She looked
outside the window hollowly. After all that they had been through, she thought she would only feel hate toward Tyler
or that she would never want to see him anymore.
It was not until he was lying in the surgery room did she come to realize just how scared she was for him to die. She
was not even half this scared when she knew she would be dying with him in the car.
'What's wrong with me? I still want to leave him, yet... I can't bear to see him die.'
While they waited, the doctor told them to prepare for the worst two more times. As Tyler's wife, Vicky had to sign
some hospital forms in case he died on the operating table.
However, her hand shook so violently that she could not sign. Thus, Harry had to step in, which was just as well
since he had been the one signing all the forms before Vicky woke up.
Apart from the three of them, no one else knew Tyler was in critical condition as Harry had stopped all news from
going out of the hospital. Not even Lincoln, who thought Tyler had only suffered some minor injury from the
gunshot, knew.
Even though Tyler did not die, Lincoln learned about his hole card through the altercation, and that was his biggest
gain. To prevent Tyler from wreaking his vengeance on him, Lincoln escaped from Stoneford City overnight.
If only he knew Tyler was on the brink of death, he would have shot him one more time to make sure he was dead
for good.
The dark sky outside slowly brightened. Aurora quietly dozed off while Harry napped on the chair too. Only Vicky's
eyes remained wide open.

Vicky's brain was blank. She had no idea what she was thinking of just a second before. It was not until the first
sunray of the day flooded through the window and into the hospital corridor did the red surgery light turn off.
She immediately stood up, and after a few seconds, the doctor came out from the surgery room.
Harry's eyes opened when he heard the door being pushed open.
The doctor walked toward them and Vicky wanted to meet him halfway, but somehow, she found herself unable to
walk.
"Doctor, how's Mister Hart?" asked Harry after he approached the doctor.
