“Do you really…hate me this much?”
Vicky jolted awake and was drenched in sweat. She grabbed her phone to check the time and noticed that she had
only slept for an hour.
After reading the last message she received from the mysterious man, she wiped her sweat away and made a call
to Harvey.
“Vicky?” Harvey answered the call.
Vicky cut to the chase and said, “Gloria didn’t leave on her own. She’s been kidnapped.”
“Did Tyler do this?”
“Yeah.”
Harvey did not seem surprised. “Do you know where she is?”
Vicky provided him with the address, and Harvey blurted out asking, “How do you know this, Vicky?”
Vicky hesitated for a moment before informing Harvey about the mysterious man.

Vicky stayed quiet for a while before saying, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.”
“It wasn’t a misunderstanding. I was at fault, and I—” He paused in realization and asked excitedly, “Vicky, have you
regained your memories?”
He knew that Vicky could not have known what happened had she not recovered her memories.
“Yeah,” Vicky muttered.
“Do you remember everything?”
“Most of it, but…” Vicky frowned. “There’s still a part of my memories that are missing.”
“Which part is that?”
“I still don’t remember why I broke up with Tyler.”
“Is that part of memories important to you?”
“Yes.”
After a long silence, Harvey said, “If you insist, I’ll do my best to help you.”
As she regained her memories, she remembered everything that happened between her and Harvey.
“Harvey,” she said hesitantly. “Don’t feel sorry for what happened. I’ve never blamed you. I had an ulterior motive
when I was engaged to you… I chose you because you were pursuing Gloria.”
“Why me?”
“I looked into you. You may look like a player, but you haven’t acted out of line once. You’ve protected and cared
for Gloria simply because she saved your life once, which indicates that you were a grateful and decent person. The
Shaws were looking for a family to marry me off to…and you were the best candidate for me.”
“Was it because you thought I’d never fall for you?” Harvey asked.
“No.”
He froze.
“I saw the hope to regain my freedom in you. I knew that you’d set me free if a day should come that I no longer
wish to continue the marriage,” Vicky said.
“But what if I fell in love with you and refused to let you go?” Harvey asked.

Harvey chuckled. “Vicky, you always know what to say to convince me. Even if there’s something I don’t want to do,
I’d have no option but to do it because of what you say.”
Vicky remained quiet for a moment before changing the subject. “Harvey, apart from hypnotists, do you know
other doctors?”
“Of which field?”
“I need experts on poison.”
“Are you poisoned?” Harvey’s tone dropped.
“Not me,” she said. “I just have a few questions.”
Harvey relaxed and said, “I’ll ask around and get whoever I find to call you.”
“Thank you.”
“You never have to thank me.”
After remembering most of the past, Vicky felt closer to Harvey and was no longer as wary when interacting with
him
