Halfway through, someone knocked on Vicky’s door, and Tyler strolled in with a glass of familiar-looking liquid.
The scent of herbs filled the air.
Tyler had been busy lately and had ordered someone else to deliver her the tea instead of watching her drink it
himself.
‘He’s making me the tea himself again tonight… Is he suspecting something?’ she thought.
Vicky had regained 90% of her memories, so the tea no longer had any effect on her.
She accepted the glass and drank the tea in one smooth motion before handing the glass back to Tyler.
He placed it on the table and stared at her lips unblinkingly.

She tensed and wanted to turn away, but he simply placed a hand at the back of her hand and pressed her closer
toward his chest.
Vicky started shivering, which was unusual.
She would resist, obey, or simply lay limp, but she rarely shivered in his arms.
Tyler stopped and lowered his gaze to her.
Vicky lowered her gaze, and he reached out to lift her chin. “What’s wrong with you today, Vicky?”
Vicky’s lashes fluttered. “Maybe… Maybe I haven’t recovered from the nightmare I had.”
He pressed his finger against her lips. “You dreamed of the car accident, right? So why are you scared of me?”
“… I’m not scared of you.”
He wrapped his arm around her waist so that their bodies were pressed tightly together, so he could distinctively
sense her trembling.
He studied her face with a half-smile. “You are scared of me, Vicky.”
Tyler had done a lot of horrible things to her ever since she lost her memories, and her experience in Forever Night
was no better than what she experienced in the past. However, she was younger and less composed at the time.
“I…” Vicky found it hard to lie under his watchful eyes, but she could not risk letting him know that she had regained
her memories.
She gritted her teeth and met his eyes. “Tyler, did you kidnap Alex?”
He narrowed his eyes. “Alex?”

“I can’t reach him.”
Tyler was clearly appalled by the mention of Alex. “Why would you ask me about that?”
“Did you capture him again?”
The look in his eyes darkened. “So what if I did?”
Vicky froze, and after a while, she said, “But you let go of Alex once, so why—”
He interrupted her. “He asked his friend to pretend to be Gloria’s fan to kidnap her. Shouldn’t he be punished?”
“So you’re avenging Gloria?”
“When one does something wrong, they need to be punished.”
Vicky wanted to say something but stopped herself from doing so after recalling what happened to Gloria.
Gloria’s circumstances were hardly any better than Alex’s. More precisely, she was in a far worse situation as she
was being ‘treated’
