Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel Chapter 1736

Vicky remained silent and did not engage in further conversation with Lincoln.

In turn, Lincoln maintained his harmless facade and did not push her to speak. Observing her reluctance to talk to him, he left the room.

...

Vicky was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of thunder and the ship violently rocking.

The cabin was illuminated by occasional flashes of lightning, and raindrops the size of beans streaked down the windows.

It was raining heavily. The rain at sea, especially in such intensity, posed a considerable danger.

Soon, Vicky heard hurried footsteps approaching her cabin.

Miranda, who was stationed at the door, noticed that Vicky had turned on the lights and knocked before entering. "It's raining outside, Ms. Shaw. Of course, there's no need to worry. The captain has extensive experience in navigating rough weather. We won't run into any problems."

Through the window, the surging sea relentlessly pounded against the deck. Its menacing appearance seemed as if it could overturn the entire ship.

Vicky did not respond and simply stared at the heavy rain outside.

She had no idea where she was. Being pregnant, she knew attempting to escape was impossible. Even with the chaos caused by the rain, she could never flee, and she did not want to waste any effort.

"I want to rest," she said and turned off the lights to go back to sleep.

Vicky tended to be drowsy during her pregnancy, and the continuous rocking motion of the ship quickly lulled her back to sleep.

She awoke to the sensation of something cold on her face and jolted awake.

Vicky opened her eyes to the sound of rain and the violently rocking ship. Lightning flashed, and the torrential rain showed no signs of letting up.

The dim cabin light seeped in through the window as a tall, dark figure appeared at her bedside.
