Chapter 158
Tyler’s eyes looked dark when he saw Vicky leaning on the headboard looking at him. "Why haven't you slept?"
Vicky's voice was calm and gentle. There was no expression on her face." Didn't I say I'd wait for you?'
Tyler paused for a while before walking to her. His tall shadow covered her entire body. When he got close enough, the smell of disinfectant on him was so thick that she felt nauseous.
Tyler looked at her calm face and said, "I was going to come back, but the hospital called and said Sheila's condition shifted into a more dangerous state, so I went over to take a look."
Vicky did not continue the topic. "It's very late. Go shower and rest early."
Tyler remained where he was and gazed at her. "Don't wait until late hours from now on."
Vicky nodded. "Okay. But you have to remember to call me or text me, or I'll worry about you."
Tyler must have felt touched by words that his dark expression slowly eased off. He bent down and kissed her forehead. 'Okay. I'll take my shower now."
Vicky looked at his tall, handsome back. The smell of disinfectant never left her.
For the next couple of days, Tyler seemed to be extremely busy, and he would return home later each day.
Vicky did not ask if he was busy with work or Sheila; there was no meaning even if she asked. Regardless of what it was, she did not have any reason to stop him.
Nevertheless, the faint disinfectant smell on his body lingered in the air every day as if it was his perfume that he sprayed on his body.
One night, Tyler surprisingly went back home before dinner time to eat. At that moment, Vicky realized they had not sat together to eat for a long time as she saw him at the dining table.
For the past few days, he left before she woke up and normally returned after she had fallen asleep at night. Except for the necessary phone calls and text messages, they did not speak to each other very often.
"The food will get cold if you continue to daydream," Tyler said with his clear and crisp voice from across Vicky.
