Chapter 99
The pain helped to snap Vicky out of her chaotic train of thoughts.
Tyler furrowed his brow and swiftly put on his bathrobe before he headed straight to Vicky.
"Where did you hurt yourself?" asked Tyler.
Vicky's heart raced as she watched the barely clothed man walking toward her. She unconsciously took
a few steps back. "I'm fine..."
Perhaps God was trying to play with her, because she slipped and would have fallen again had Tyler
not swiftly held her in place.
The fragrance from the shower visibly dispersed from his body. The washroom was humid, and the
temperature was higher than outside because he just had his shower. It caused them to have a little
difficulty in their breathing, i
"Are you alright?" Tyler looked down at her, his blue eyes mirroring her body.

She struggled away from his arms. "I'm getting up now."
However, she realized she was suspended after just a step. She was stunned only for a second before
she realized she was hoisted up.
"P...Put me down! I can walk," insisted Vicky.
Tyler replied, "You'll either slam against the door or fall again. Are you sure you can walk out of here
alive?"
Vicky was speechless.
After Tyler carried her back to the bedroom, he left again before returning with a first-aid kit a few
minutes later.
Vicky was relieved to see him clothed in his pajamas.
Her skin was so fair that the slightest mark would easily turn visible. At that moment, her knee was
bruised.
Tyler opened the first-aid kit and took out a bottle of cream to ease the bruise and applied it to her
knee.
Vicky's calmed heart started pumping rapidly again when she looked into Tyler's concentrated eyes.
After applying the cream, he put away the first-aid kit.
"Thank you," muttered Vicky softly.
He looked at her reddened cheeks. "How are you going to thank me?"
Vicky did not expect this answer, and she gazed at Tyler curiously. His blue eyes were dark and deep
like the ocean, yet those same eyes seemed to be lit ablaze as well. The flame was so hot that it could
burn a person's soul.
Instinctively, Vicky looked away from meeting his eyes. Her eyelashes quivered, and she did not dare
to make eye contact with him again.
"I'll go take a shower."

While she was preparing to get off the bed, he grabbed her wrist. Followingly, he came onto her and
pressed his body on top of her.
The air stalled, and time just stopped.
Vicky's heart felt like her heart, too, stopped as she looked at the handsome man's calm face. Her mind
was nearly blank.
"Tyler, you-mph!"
Tyler lowered his head and seized her lips with his, stopping her midsentence. Her heart raced as
shattered pieces of memory flashed through her mind. Those pieces were put together to form a very
flustering scene, i
At that moment, Vicky had a clear understanding.
Tyler did not lie to her after all. They were not a fake couple. Everything that was supposed to happen
had happened.
Just when Tyler was about to go on the next step, Vicky suddenly held his hand. His dark gaze stirring
with desire looked into her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"I.J'm not ready yet." Vicky's eyes wavered. "Can...you give me more time?"
However, Tyler answered, his tone domineering and left no room for arguments, "No."
