Vicky looked into Tyler’s eyes and spoke slowly, “It’s a clever move to have someone else do your dirtywork for you.”

“I didn’t make Avery poison you,” Tyler said tensely. “It’s easy if I truly wanted to poison you. Why wouldI need to rely on someone else?”

“Having Avery poison me might be troublesome, but if the truth is ever revealed, you can easily shiftthe blame onto her. After all, she has the motive to hurt me. If you did it and I discovered it, your‘devoted lover’ image would’ve collapsed, wouldn’t it?”

Tyler pursed his lips, and his expression darkened at her sarcastic tone. “Vicky, you’d rather believe awoman with ill intentions than believe me?”

“You want me to believe you? Sure.” Vicky shifted her gaze at the vial placed on the table. “Since yousay you didn’t

poison me… Can you tell me what you intended to do with this poison you bought?”

Tyler moved his lips but failed to form any coherent explanation.

She ignored his silence and continued, “Since you don’t want to ruin my face and you have theantidote, why haven’t you cured me?”

“…” Tyler remained silent.

Seeing that Tyler had nothing to say, Vicky did not feel sad or disappointed and simply turned to walkaway.

Instinctively, Tyler reached out to stop her.

Vicky stared at him dully. “Do you have something else to say for yourself?”

Tyler lowered his gaze at her until her reflection filled his eyes. He swallowed hard, and his deep voicetook on a husky tone. “I’ll admit that I thought of poisoning you, and I did buy this medicine, but I didn’tput it into action, nor did I ask Avery to do it.”

He observed the indifference in her eyes and an unprecedented uneasiness emerged within his heart,feeling as though Vicky was slipping away no matter how hard he tried. He realized that he was aboutto lose her.

He held onto her wrist and continued, “I bought this poison from the black market, and I couldn’t becertain harmless to the body. I’d never use it on you without knowing for sure that it won’t harm you…”

“So you are saying that you didn’t use the poison on me simply because you don’t know if the poisoncan actually do what it claims to do. Is that it?”

“No.” He tightened his grip. “I’m not worried about the effectiveness of the poison, but rather-“

Vicky interrupted him and said, “But rather my health if I take the poison, right?”

Tyler fell into silence.

Vicky sneered. “Since you’re concerned about my body, why didn’t you cure me the moment you gotthe antidote?”

“…” Tyler wanted to tell her that they only found the antidote the day before and that they did not cureher immediately because he learned from the doctors that the toxin had indeed no effect on Vicky’shealth.

It was at this very moment that Tyler finally realized he could never explain himself.

He did purchase the poison and considered poisoning Vicky; it was also true that he did not cure Vickywhen he found the antidote and was hesitant as to whether he should do so.

Vicky was only wrong that he was never truly involved in her getting poisoned, but that did not matteras he had a motive and intention to do so.

“Tyler, you’ve tortured me for four years. Isn’t that enough?” she asked, seemingly tired of it all. “I knowthat you thought

I poisoned you back then, so you want revenge for that as well. I’ve gotten a taste of what it’s like, andyeah, it feels terrible. Tyler Hart, let go already.”

One could easily tell from her tone and expression that she was far too disappointed and lost all hope.
