Vicky froze as she understood the underlying meaning of his words. She moved her lips to speak but fell silent in the end.

At night, Vicky made a video call to Aurora while Tyler was in the shower.

Aurora sighed in relief at the sight of Vicky’s face. “I was really scared that Tyler was texting me with your phone.” She studied Vicky’s expression and relaxed visibly when she saw nothing concerning, apart from a faint hint of sorrow.

“This won’t happen again,” commented Vicky.

Aurora hesitated for a moment, about to inquire further, only to abruptly notice the backdrop of the video was none other than the villa where Vicky had been living. She knew that Vicky had recently moved out of the villa and into her own apartment. Aurora’s keen perception caught something amiss. “Vicky, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Vicky looked at Aurora on the screen. “I just wanted to let you know that I’m okay, so you don’t worry.”

Aurora was about to say something but held back in the end. “Well… Get some rest then. We can talk more when you’re free.”

“Alright.” Ending the call, Vicky stood by the window and remained lost in thought for a long while.
