Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1400

Vicky lowered her gaze quietly.

Harvey spoke calmly, "Jackie has the key to your office. I thought of hiding in your office for a while, but it seems you haven't left work yet."

Harvey's assistant often came to Vicky's office to collect medicines for Tyler, so Vicky entrusted her office key to him.

"You've been shot. You need to remove the bullet as soon as possible," insisted Vicky as she observed his pale face. "Do you have a friend who's a doctor? Maybe...you should have them come over and remove the bullet?"

Harvey waved it off. "You don't need to worry about this. I'm just resting here for a while before I leave."

Vicky frowned. "Didn't you just mention that once your location is exposed, you'll be at risk of a life-threatening situation? You're injured now. If you're discovered, you might not be able to escape." After a brief pause, she continued, "Since it's relatively safe here for now, rest up. Cece and Jennifer are away on a short business trip these days, so they won't be coming to work."

Harvey attempted to say something, but Vicky interrupted him. "Treatment can't be delayed any further. Call your doctor, and have them come over to remove the bullet."

Spotting the determination in her eyes, Harvey finally nodded. "My phone is being tracked, so I threw it away. Can I borrow your phone?"

Vicky handed him her phone.

Taking the phone, Harvey made a call. 10 minutes later, a light knock came from the office door.

Vicky glanced at the peephole and, after confirming with Harvey, opened the door.

A young man stood at the doorway with a large black backpack on his back.

"Vicky?" The man's eyes widened slightly at the sight of her. "You... You're here too?"

"Ted." Harvey's weakened voice came from the restroom. "Vicky and I are just friends right now."

Ted rubbed his nose awkwardly. It was no secret that Vicky married Tyler, but he simply could not change how he addressed Vicky.

Vicky did not mind and said, "Go and check on him. I think he's badly injured."

Ted went over to check on Harvey, his expression darkening. "I should be able to extract the bullets, but you've lost too much blood and need a transfusion right now. The blood bags are often stored in hospitals, and taking them will draw Tyler's attention."

"It's fine." Harvey smiled. "It's just a bit of blood loss. I'll survive."

Ted stared at him. "Without sufficient blood supply, you'll take longer to recover. You can't risk getting discovered, and I'm afraid I can't come over again after today. Once Tyler realizes he can't find you, he'll have his men follow me."
