Chapter 1613
Vicky opened her eyes, and her gaze was unforgiving. "How would you like to handle this, then?"
Tyler glanced at her and chose not to press on. "You can send your friend to check on him.'
Vicky fell into silence, knowing that was the biggest compromise Tyler was willing to make. "Fine."
Vicky called both Cece and Jennifer to explain the situation. Without asking questions, they agreed to help.
After hanging up, Tyler's cold voice sounded, "Go shower. I don't like the smell of disinfectants."
Vicky went to the bathroom as told.
There was no change of clothes for women, so she was left to put on a bathing robe after shower before stepping

The night was thick with darkness.
Tyler stood on the balcony, quietly smoking.
Vicky walked up behind him. "Mister Hart, why did you choose to live here?"
Tyler owned numerous properties in Stoneford City, so it seemed odd for him to choose this mansion out of all the
places he could have stayed in.
Without turning around, Tyler replied calmly, "This is where you'll be living from now on."
Vicky trembled. "What did you just say?"
"Ms. Shaw, I am not into casual flings. I don't enjoy going to hotels every time. I'm a keeper, and this is not a one-
night stand." Tyler extinguished the cigarette in his hand and turned to look at her. "I won’t interfere with your work,
but you are to return here every night unless something urgent happens."
"So this is where you are going to keep your mistress, then?"
"You can think of it that way."
Vicky fell silent for a few seconds. "You still haven't answered why you chose this place."
Placing the cigarette in the ashtray, Tyler walked toward her. "Four years ago, we met here. Remember?"
Vicky’s expression stiffened and thought, 'So he remembers that.'
Tyler lowered his head and kissed her earlobe. "Although I'm not entirely sure why you were here, the fact that
we've met here before implies a connection between you and this place. Is there any issue with you living here
from now on?"

Tyler's tone carried an authoritative undertone that did not welcome refusal. As his breath brushed against her skin,
Vicky felt a chill spread through her body.
Tyler did not press further about Vicky's past. Instead, he lowered his head and placed a lingering kiss on her lips. A
few minutes later, he carried her into the bedroom.
Three days later, Harvey woke up.
"Harvey, you're finally awake!" Cece, who had been at the bedside, exclaimed with joy as she saw Harvey open his
eyes.
She quickly pressed the button to summon the doctors, then made a few phone calls.
Soon, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and a group of doctors came in to examine Harvey's condition.
After about half an hour, Jennifer entered the room with breakfast.
"Harvey woke up?" Jennifer was also elated to see Harvey awake. "Harvey, do you feel any discomfort?"
Harvey shook his head, his gaze scanning the surroundings, seemingly searching for someone.
