Chapter 355

The next morning, Vicky was woken up by the ringing of her phone. She fumbled for her phone and answered. "Hello..."

"Still sleeping?" A cold, melodious voice came from the phone.

"Tyler?" Vicky jolted awake and said, "ls...something wrong?"

After a brief moment of silence, he said, 'I texted you this morning and you didn't reply, so I was worried about you."

'This morning?' She repeated inwardly and glanced at the time to find that it was already twelve at noon.

When Vicky did not respond, Tyler added, "I called Nanny Paterson, and she said you're not at home. Did you not go home last night?"

She started panting heavily at the memories of the night before.

"I... I stayed in the hospital with Jennifer last night, so I didn't go home."
