Since Tyler's condition had stabilized, Harry and Jade turned to leave with the doctors, but Adam stood his ground.
Harry was confused at first, but Adam blurted out, "Mister Hart, what is to be done to the person who stabbed you?"
Tension rose in the air and Harry shot Adam a warning look, signaling him not to continue the subject. However, Adam simply ignored him and continued to stare into Tyler's eyes.
"I will handle it. You may go," Tyler said.
"Mister Hart..." Adam insisted.
Tyler scowled impatiently. "Get out. I need to rest."
Harry glanced at Jade, who immediately received his message, and went to drag Adam out of the room.
Once Adam was out of the room, he asked, "Why did you stop me? Vicky Shaw stabbed Mister Hart. Are we supposed to let it slide?"
"Vicky might've crossed the line, but...it's not entirely her fault. She can't walk, and Mister Hart scared the life out of her..." reasoned Harry.
Anyone who went through what Vicky was suffering would have gone insane a long time ago.
Adam sneered. "She was the one who ran away with another man. She had it coming! Besides, it's not like she lost the ability to walk. Mister Hart just meant to scare her and teach her a lesson. She could've run away with anyone, but she chose Harvey Sparks out of everyone. Does she not know that Harvey Sparks is the one person that Mister Hart hates most? Just think of how much trouble she caused Mister Hart for sending the reporters into his room to capture him in bed with Sheila.
"I helped to deliver some documents to a client a few days ago, and all the employees in that company were still talking about this... People marry for a partner, and all Mister Hart gets is a troublemaker!"
Harry and Jade remained silent.
They worked for Tyler and leaned toward supporting him. Though what Tyler did to Vicky seemed out of line, from their point of view, Vicky had it all coming and Tyler did not terrorize her for no reason at all.
"Is Mister Hart...in love with Missus Hart?" theorized Jade.
