Chapter 384
If all the masked man wanted from her was for her to cure his insomnia, Vicky felt like she might be
able to negotiate with him.
She opened the door and stepped into the dark room, wondering if the masked man had returned to
the room just yet.
Just then, her stomach turned and she darted into the bathroom, hurling everything she ate into the
toilet bowl.
She had not eaten much that night, so the vomiting did not last long. She washed her mouth and her
face at the sink, her face as pale as a ghost under the faint light.
"What happened?" She heard footsteps approaching and saw the masked man by the door, wearing a
black bathing robe with his mask and voice changer already in place.

He stared at her intently. "Is it possible that you're...pregnant?"
She froze. "I...don’t know."
The man darted toward her and exclaimed joyfully, "Are you really pregnant?"
Vicky shot the man a confused look. "Nothing ever happened between us. Even if I am, it has nothing
to do with you, so...why are you so happy about it?"
The man froze, and Vicky became increasingly suspicious.
"You-"
As though he was trying to keep her from exposing his secret, he interrupted her and said, "Just put me
to sleep already."
Vicky sobered and decided to fulfill the man's request.
As she proceeded to tell bedtime stories, she kept reminding herself not to fall asleep but did so
regardless after a while.
The next day, Vicky went straight to the studio instead of heading home.
As soon as she arrived, her lips curled into a bitter smile when she noticed that there was no missed
call or text on her phone.
The last message she sent was the day before when she told Tyler that she might not be going home
because Cece and Jennifer were back. All she received as a response was a simple 'oka/ and nothing
else.
"Vicky."
Cece and Jennifer walked inside, and Jennifer was carrying a bag with her.
"Vicky, you haven't eaten, right? We brought you some ravioli. Eat up while it's still hot," Jennifer said.
"You need to eat when you're about to start your day."
Feeling moved, Vicky said, ’Sure." However, as soon as she took a bite of the ravioli, she started

Both Jennifer and Cece were startled. "Vicky, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. It's probably because I didn't rest well last night.'
"Vicky, why don't we take you to the hospital?" Cece offered worriedly.
Vicky had been trapped in her mind and seemed to have lost her appetite, but she did not think much
of it. "It's fine. Maybe I've just been too busy lately. Now that the job with the cast members is done, I
can rest for some time."
Cece was going to suggest going to the hospital again when Jennifer got ahead of her and asked,
"Vicky, is it possible that you're pregnant?"
Both Vicky and Cece froze in shock, while Jennifer kept her eyes trained on Vicky. "Vicky, have you
had your period this month?"
Jennifer's words made Vicky realize that her menstrual period had indeed been a week late.
'I can't be pregnant, can I?' she thought to herself.
