"Did you get hurt in prison?"
Tyler mentioned that he thought Vicky wanted him dead in prison during the day, and though she did not understand what he meant at the time, she finally realized that he was beaten in prison.
She knew that Tyler was sent to prison, and at the time, she thought that it would be good that he could stay away and calm down for a while.
He had gone too far with no concern for consequences.
Noah was not a man he could simply beat and get away with it.
She was never truly dating Noah. He wanted to repay the favor of the assistance she provided him in the past, or he would have never put up with Tyler repeatedly. Regardless, Tyler’s actions escalated, and even Vicky herself was starting to lose patience.
When the Canyers found out that Noah was rushed to the hospital for what Tyler did to him, they decided to send Tyler to prison, and Vicky stopped begging for mercy on Tyler's behalf.
However, she had not expected Tyler to get hurt.
She tore on his shirt and spotted countless scars and wounds over his chest; some had started healing while others remained bruised.
She felt as though someone had a tight grip on her heart, and it felt hard to breathe.
Vicky did not know if the Canyers or Noah were responsible for Tyler's injuries, and she knew she could hardly blame Noah even if he was responsible.
Vicky picked up the ointment from the first-aid kit and said, "I'll do it."
Tyler did not try to hide his wounds any longer and simply looked at her intently.
Vicky ignored him and focused on applying the ointment.
After treating the wounds, Vicky looked up at him and said, "Your wounds can't come into contact with water for now. A few of them are healing really slowly, and even if you sanitize them after a shower, you can easily get an infection."
