Chapter 161

Even when Tyler was called away during the middle of the night, he would still return home no matter how late it was. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Vicky received no replies from Tyler, even many minutes later.

The rain was pouring heavily, and the visibility was sparse. It was dangerous to be driving on the road in this weather.

She thought of calling him, but she was worried it would distract him if he was driving, so she decided against it. Nonetheless, she could not possibly fall back to sleep in this state, so she picked up her book and started to read it.

The words were in front of her, yet they barely registered in her mind. Even several minutes in, she did not turn the page.

An hour later, she took her phone and opened up various apps without any meaning. And that still did not help to calm her mind.

It was already two-something and Tyler was still not back yet. Although sometimes he had to leave in the middle of the night, it was very rare for him to stay out late. After some thinking, Vicky finally decided to call him.

Beep, beep, beep!

Oddly, the dial tone sounded like it was drawled, much longer than last time.

For some reason, she felt restless with the phone in her hand. Suddenly, a remote notification voice came from the other side of the phone.

“The number you dialed is unavailable. Please try again.’

Vicky frowned. It was a notification that no one picked up the phone. She thought he could be in the middle of an important meeting or he was on his way back home, so she did not call again.

An hour later, however, Tyler still had not returned nor did he reply to her messages or call. She could not help it; she had to try again. 1

This time, there was no dial tone. The system’s cold female voice was heard from the other of the phone instantly.

“The number you called cannot be reached. Please try again later.”

Vicky tried a few times, yet his phone was unreachable.

It rained for the whole night. Vicky sat on the sofa and read the book for the entire night until the sky started to light up.

The rain had not stopped, but it did grow lighter. Dark clouds hung in the sky. The same clouds left the feeling of suffocation, as though they were pressing down on the people below them.

Due to the rain, the sky was still dark even when it was already seven in the morning.

Vicky looked at the time and put down the book to freshen up. After that, she went downstairs, where breakfast was already prepared by Nanny Paterson.

After breakfast, Vicky was just about to leave the house when her phone, which had been quiet for the whole night, rang. She answered it.

“Are you awake?” Tyler asked, his deep, cold voice ringing from the other side of the phone.

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry. My phone ran out of battery last night.’

Vicky looked at the unknown number on her screen and asked, “What did you do last night?”

“Another batch of people sneaked into the hospital.” His indifferent voice sounded tired. ‘Those people nearly kidnapped Sheila. I’ve been dealing with it since then.” 1

“I see.” There was no weird feeling or emotion detected in Vicky’s voice.” Are you going back to the office or back home to rest?’

“I’m going straight to the office.”

“Okay,” Vicky responded and did not ask further.

After she hung up the phone, she did not go to her studio. Instead, she drove to the hospital.

Ever since Sheila was hurt, Vicky had not been to the hospital. ‘It seems like Sheila is badly hurt after being stabbed. Though, she should be doing fine after resting for so long,’ she thought.

After she enquired the nurse about Sheila’s ward number, she headed straight to the ward. When she was at the door, she heard people talking inside.
