Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1094

"Vicky Shaw, if it's not for you, Tyler and Lincoln wouldn't have gotten into fights! Who are you to stop me?!"

Vicky froze, realizing that she was the last person who should stand in Valencia's way.

It was unfair for her to keep the truth of the incident hidden to protect Tyler, and she could not help but wonder if it was worth being so ungrateful for the sake of Tyler, the man who tortured her.

Just as she hesitated, the door opened, and a slender figure stepped outside.

"Mom, you've misunderstood the situation. Vicky hasn't done anything wrong, nor has Tyler... I just ate the wrong thing and have a rash on my face. I didn't want you to worry, so I asked for Grandfather's permit to stay here until I get better."

The man's voice flowed like a gentle stream, warm and elegant.

Valencia was shocked when Lincoln stepped outside, and her eyes widened in terror when she saw his face. "Lincoln, your... Your face..."

Vicky looked over, and she too was taken aback.

After the period of recuperation, the bruises on Lincoln's face had mostly healed.

When Vicky saw him the day before, the bruises had faded for the most part and were expected to fully recover within a week. However, his face was covered in numerous red rashes at the moment. His once handsome features transformed into a grotesque appearance, and both Valencia and Vicky were stunned by the sight.

"Lincoln, what happened to your face?" Valencia stepped forward, wanting to examine his face but hesitated, fearing that her hands might carry bacteria and worsen his condition.

Valencia fell silent for a few seconds before addressing Vicky, albeit rigidly. "Thank you for taking care of Lincoln on my behalf. I was wrong for jumping to a conclusion earlier." She then inquired in detail about Lincoln's condition.

Upon learning that he only needed rest and would recover, she finally relaxed.

She prattled on, instructing Lincoln on every detail to pay attention to, her eyes filled with concern and worry for him, which was a stark contrast to her usual indifference toward Tyler.

For some reason, a hint of obscurity emerged in Vicky's heart.

Just then, composed footsteps echoed from the direction of the stairs. Simultaneously, a man's low, clear voice rose above the crowd. "What happened here?"
