Chapter 27
Sebastian did not protest and simply said, “Alright, then. Rest well. I’ll go now.”
Right before leaving, he added, “Vicky, do you still have my number?”
Vicky thought back to her contact list and shook her head. “I don’t think so.”
Sure enough, Sebastian’s name was not on her contact list. The two exchanged numbers before he
finally left.
Shortly after he left, Vicky received a text message from Sebastian and she clicked it open.
It was a photo taken outside the rooms of two figures, their backs facing the camera. Even so, she still
managed to recognize them: Tyler and Sheila.
Underneath the photo was a caption where Sebastian wrote, [Vicky, Tyler is in Sheila’s room].
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVicky took one last glance at the photo before looking away inattentively.
The next day, someone knocked on Vicky’s door shortly after she had finished her breakfast, and Sheila
entered the room in her wheelchair.
“Miss Shaw, are you feeling better now?”
“Much better. Thank you for asking, Miss Young.”
Sheila turned to look at her manager. “Maggie, help me up.”
Maggie frowned. “But your leg…”
“If you don’t help me up, I’m going to try to get up on my own,” Sheila insisted.
Feeling defeated, Maggie helped Sheila up, and Sheila got on her feet.
“Miss Shaw, I’m really sorry about what happened with Sasha. She resents you for what happened in the
past and did something stupid. I’d like to apologize to you in her place,” she said before bowing deeply to
Vicky.
Sheila was not involved in the incident at all and did not have to apologize. Moreover, with Tyler on her
side, she did not need to be respectful toward Vicky at all.
Ordinary women would have lost sight of their places if they were protected by Tyler, but not Sheila.
Vicky studied the woman before her and sneered inwardly.
She had begged for Tyler’s help multiple times to help Cece, but he did not budge until this incident with
Sasha happened.
According to what Vicky knew about Tyler, he would have never gotten involved if it was not for Sheila,
which meant that Cece was saved because of Sheila.
Despite how humble Sheila looked at the moment, Vicky realized something important; even her near–
death experience was not as convincing to Tyler as a few words from Sheila.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘What a woman! I’ve underestimated her,‘ Vicky thought. ‘Sasha might be a witless, reckless little wench,
but
she wouldn’t get to be that way if she hasn’t been allowed by people around her.‘
Vicky remained quiet and because of that, Sheila stayed frozen in the bowing position.
Unable to stand it any longer, Maggie interfered. “Miss Shaw, Sheila has nothing to do with this. Her leg
is injured. Don’t you think it’s too much for you to bully her like this?”
“That’s right. She has nothing to do with this, so why is she apologizing?” Vicky whispered gently before
turning to stare at Maggie. “Besides… If you know that she’s injured, why did you take her around, Miss
Perez? Am I bullying her, or are you making it look that way on purpose? Don’t tell me that you can’t
even control an injured patient when you’re perfectly healthy.”
