Chapter 717
Despite Vicky's decision, she still felt nervous.
Sensing that she was shivering, Tyler assumed that she was terrified of the nightmares and pulled her closer into his
arms. "Sleep. I'll stay with you."
She opened her mouth to speak but decided against it in the end, and she took a deep breath before laying down.
Click! The lights were turned off, and darkness returned to the room.
Vicky tensed and breathed heavily.
In the dark, Tyler carefully wrapped his arms around her. When she flinched, his movement became more gentle as

Vicky was amused by that and wanted to tell him that she was not that fragile, but she knew better than to say it
out loud.
His body was burning, and his heat radiating through his body to hers.
She waited for his next move quietly in his arms, but Tyler did not do anything apart from holding her.
Even as she drifted off to sleep, he simply held her reassuringly.
After some time, Vicky fell into a deep slumber.
The next day, she opened her eyes to find the sun shining bright.
She sat up slowly and felt energized after the best sleep she had for the past week..xo
She washed up and prepared to make herself some food before stilling when she saw Tyler in the kitchen.
Sensing her presence, he turned around to look at her." Head to the dining room. I'm almost done."
Shocked, Vicky headed to the dining room obediently.
10 minutes later, Tyler brought oatmeal and a few dishes over.
Vicky studied his face and asked, "Are you not going to work today?"
"Yeah," Tyler said. "I'm taking a break."
After working so hard for days on end, it seemed normal for Tyler to rest, so Vicky did not question his response.

After breakfast, Vicky was about to return to her room when Tyler called out to her, "Wait."
She shot him a confused look. "What is it, Mister Hart?"
He frowned. "I thought I told you to call me by my name."
She snapped out of it and corrected herself, "T—Tyler...
What is it?"
Vicky found it hard to adjust to the change.
Tyler was displeased by how rigid she sounded but did not protest as there was more than enough time for her to
adjust.
"I've contacted a doctor that can help with your nightmare."
Her eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Yeah." He glanced at the clock. "She'll be here in about half an hour."
Touched by his effort, Vicky said, "Thank you."
He walked over and kissed her on the forehead. "You don't have to thank me.”
