There was a glimpse of emotions in Tyler's dark eyes, but they vanished almost as soon as they appeared. "No."
Gloria did not look away and whispered, "Tyler, are you upset with me?"
"No."
"But I was the one who made you divorce her..."
"That's between me and Vicky. It has nothing to do with you, so don't overthink it," Tyler said calmly.
Gloria observed the look on his face and said, "Vicky seems to be in a lot of trouble lately. Did she come to you for help?"
His lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "She would've never shown herself in front of me if it's not for the troubles she's in."
For as long as he could remember, she would only come to him whenever she found herself in a situation she could not resolve.
Her affection had always been a means to an end for her in Tyler's perspective.
'Why else was she nowhere to be found despite how long I've been in the hospital?' he thought. 'Now that she's in trouble, she comes running back to me.'
"She is in a lot of trouble right now, and I don't think she can handle it. Tyler, are you going to help her?" Gloria asked.
"If she's capable of causing those troubles, she should be able to resolve them by herself," Tyler said expressionlessly.
Gloria wanted to say something else but gave up with a sigh in the end when she saw the look on Tyler's face.
...
After leaving the hospital, Vicky walked on the road alone and received a call from Cece.
"Vicky, I suddenly remembered something."
"What is it?"
