Tyler raised an eyebrow. "Followed you?"
Vicky tried to calm herself and, with as much self-control as possible, spoke, "Tyler, you found and brought me back when I left Zendonia. It's not going to be easy for me to run away now that I'm here. Can you please give me some personal space?"
Tyler's face was expressionless. "You were able to escape because I gave you too much 'personal space'. Do you think I'd make the same mistake twice?"
Vicky sneered inwardly. 'I was able to escape, he said? He let me escape and planned everything that happened next. He even found a person to take the blame. It's funny that he can stand there and be calm to say that I was able to escape. How hilarious!' she mused to herself sarcastically.
Vicky did not want to argue with him, so she suppressed her anger. "Sebastian and I are just friends… I heard he is in the hospital, so I thought of visiting him."
She took a deep breath. "I misunderstood him, and now, his family is having a hard time because of me…"
She paused before continuing, "Tyler, can you please let him and his family go this time?"
Tyler's face was indifferent. "I already let them go once."
"If you're willing to let them go, Sebastian will never come back to Zendonia after he recovers. The Mills family will also leave this place within a year and never come back," Vicky added.
Tyler's thin lips parted as he answered, "No."
"They didn't commit any serious crime. There's no need to be so harsh," Vicky tried to persuade.
"Being kind to your enemy is cruel to yourself." Tyler looked at her. "Besides, he tried to challenge me many times. It's a serious crime to me. I'm kind enough to let him breathe."
"What does it take to have you let them go?" Vicky asked.
"I don't know either." Tyler glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Why don't…you think of a way for me?"
It was that type of tone again! If Vicky believed in him, it would probably end up like what happened in her dream last night. She lowered her head and said nothing.
