Chapter 1502
The two arrived at a Mexican restaurant.
Vicky did not intentionally act intimate with Chris and the two maintained a distance like normal friends would.
As soon as they were seated, Tyler stepped in, glanced around, and walked toward them.
Vicky flinched at the sight of him and whispered, "he might come to sit with us..."
Before she could finish, Tyler found his seat at a table behind them.
Vicky froze and choked on her voice.
Chris, too, was surprised that Tyler did not forcefully join them.

away how incredibly petty Tyler could be.
Vicky had cautioned Chris that Tyler might resort to violence, a belief Chris fully shared. Yet, Tyler's sudden shift to
rationality and silence caught Chris off guard.
Vicky only hesitated for a few seconds before realization dawned on her. She lowered her gaze, her heart growing
even heavier as she thought to herself, 'is he trying to prove to me that he could change?'
After dinner, Chris drove Vicky home and Tyler's car continued trailing behind them.
For several days straight, Tyler had been shadowing Vicky's every move. Vicky and Chris did not engage in any
intimate behavior, which Tyler begrudgingly tolerated. However, witnessing the two of them engrossed in
conversation, he could not suppress the jealousy bubbling inside him that urged him to intervene.
Still, he knew he could not do so.
He could not afford to give her any reason or excuse to leave him.
And so, another week passed.
What was thought to be an ongoing standoff took an unexpected turn one day when Vicky stumbled, and Chris
instinctively reached out to steady her, causing her to fall into his arms.
After days of restraint and containment, Tyler's patience reached its limit and he snapped.
By the time he regained his senses, Chris lay unconscious, half-dead in a pool of blood.
Vicky stared blankly at Tyler, her eyes brimming with despair and devastation Tyler had never witnessed before.
As Tyler advanced toward her, Vicky retreated a few steps, her eyes wide with fear.

Tyler instantly froze in place.
An ambulance arrived promptly and Vicky left with the doctors.
Staring at the departing ambulance, Tyler's realization hit him like a bolt of lightning.
He turned toward his car, intending to drive to the hospital to check on the situation. Yet, as he reached the front of
his car, a searing pain pierced through his head.
Sweat coated his forehead and his brows furrowed with agony. The next moment, he fell unconscious.
Vicky stood outside the emergency room, her face drained of color. Her heart still raced uncontrollably, but the
terror and despair she felt were not solely due to Tyler's sudden assault on Chris.
She had caught a glimpse of a multitude of scars underneath Tyler's shirt, densely packed and fresh in appearance,
with some appearing as if they had been inflicted recently.
