Chapter 22
Just then, the door to Vicky’s room was knocked on again, and a slender figure stepped through the door shortly after.
“Vicky, you haven’t eaten, right? I brought you some soup…”
Sebastian froze when he saw Sheila and Tyler inside the room.
“Why are you here?” asked Sebastian, before thinking back to spotting Sasha outside the door. “Are you here to confront Vicky?” He sneered at Tyler. “Tyler Hart, even if you don’t love Vicky, you don’t have to team up. with outsiders to bully your wife, do you? Can’t you see that she’s sick in bed right now?”
“So you do know that she’s my wife,” remarked Tyler pointedly as he glanced at the thermal flask in Sebastian’s hands. “Mister Mills, I can’t imagine that it’s appropriate for you to treat a married woman with
such care.”
Sebastian glanced at Sheila in her wheelchair and lifted an eyebrow. “But it’s okay for a married man like yourself to care for another woman, huh? Tyler Hart, enough with the double standards. Everyone knows that Vicky and I grew up together. We’ve always been good friends and nothing else. You two, on the other hand… Well, you two are hardly just friends, are you?”
Tyler’s expression darkened.
“Mister Mills, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not like that. Tyler and I are friends, and we’ve never stepped out of the line… We’re only here to ask about what happened last night,” Sheila said frantically.
Sebastian stopped her. “The two of you decided to ignore the actual person who attempted murder and came confronting the victim?” He shot them a sarcastic look. “Is that what they say about blaming the victim?”
Sheila smiled and explained, “But Sasha said that she didn’t push Miss Shaw into the pool. Miss Shaw jumped in on her own.”
“Jumped in on her own?” he repeated. “Are you saying that Vicky jumped into freezing water for fun in this weather?”
