Chapter 1241
Vicky raised her voice as she was on the brink of losing her temper. "The doctors said you can't get out of bed! Your
wounds can reopen at the slightest movement! Do you want to get stitched up again?!"
"I want to take a shower," he said expressionlessly.
"You are in a weak state, and you can't shower," she asserted.
"I will be careful."
"Careful?" Vicky sneered. "You can’t even walk properly, so how are you going to be careful? Let's say you manage
to keep your wounds away from water-but you'll still catch a cold. If you catch a cold at your current state, you'll
come down with a fever, and that'll send you right back into the ICU!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTyler did not waver. "That's none of your business."
Vicky was already angry, and hearing him say such things made her seethe. "Fine, whether you take a bath or not
has nothing to do with me." She stood over him, her voice cold and threatening. "I can stop you from taking a bath.
Let's see what you can do!"
With that, she grabbed the chain she had used to restrain Tyler the last time and issued a chilling threat. "If you
insist on upsetting me, I don't mind chaining you up for another night."
Seeing the chain in Vicky's hand, Tyler seemed to recall the humiliating experience, and his indifferent expression
finally shifted. After a few minutes of stalemate, he took off his shoes and lay back down on the bed.
Vicky stood in place and watched as he struggled, to which she finally caved.
She approached and gently helped him lie back down on the bed. Her expression was cold, but her movements
were gentle, and there was concealed caution on her face.
The look in Tyler's eyes darkened as he studied the look on her face.
After she helped him lie down, Vicky checked his wound and noted that it had not reopened.
It was only then did the tension leave her body, and she realized that there was a layer of sweat on her forehead.
Her gaze swept across the room, and she caught Tyler staring at her unblinkingly with a dark look on his face.
Vicky twitched. "Why... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tyler's gaze was curious as he watched her. "Are you this worried about me?"
Vicky was taken aback and instinctively tried to explain, "It's because you saved me..."
Before Vicky could finish her sentence, he softly said, "I will consider it."
"Consider what?" she asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIgnoring her question, Tyler closed his eyes in silence.
The next day, after Vicky finished feeding Tyler, she said to him, "I'm going to get lunch. You can rest for a while by
yourself. Is that okay?"
Tyler gave her a faint nod with his eyes closed. With that, Vicky left.
As she walked out of the ward, she found Aurora waiting outside the door and apologized, "Sorry, I'm a bit late
today."
Aurora, accustomed to the situation, responded casually," Tyler is being picky again?"
Vicky nodded. "His condition is different now, and we need to be extremely careful about his diet. It has to be
balanced and nutritious. There are some dishes he doesn't like to eat, but he has to eat them..."
Aurora hesitated. "Vicky, don't you think...Tyler seems to be getting more finicky lately?" She cast a strange glance
at the ward. "He keeps saying 'no' yet acts otherwise. He keeps saying that he doesn't want you to take care of him
or feed him, but in the end, he accepts it."
Suddenly, realization dawned on her. "Oh, I think I know what this is about!"
