Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 871

Orion glanced at the servant and said, "Tyler, your mother and I had no idea why she'd say something like that. Besides, she's brought from the Harts' old mansion…so who knows, she might be a spy sent by another relative to drive a wedge between us."

Although Vicky was found here, the words of a servant alone were not enough evidence to pin the crime on them. What could Tyler do to them as long as they denied, denied, denied it repeatedly? No matter what, they were his biological parents, which meant they could do no wrong.

There was nothing Tyler could do even if they killed Vicky. If he did, he would be labeled as 'the unfilial and ungrateful son' for the rest of his life.

Tyler narrowed his eyes, which were overflowing with coldness. He was about to say something when he felt someone tugging on his arm. He turned around just in time for Vicky to pass out gently into his arms.

Tyler drew his lips into a thin line and lifted Vicky. Then, he took one glance at Orion and Valencia before wordlessly striding off.

…

The night air was cool and quiet.

Tyler carried Vicky into the car parked by the door, and not long after, Harry sat in the driver's seat.

"To the hospital, Mister Tyler?"

"No. Back to the mansion, and ask the doctor to wait there for us."

Harry was a little shocked, but he did as Tyler instructed. After getting off the phone with the doctor, he started the car engine.

Tyler looked down at Vicky and said softly, "How long are you going to keep up your act?"

Vicky could not help but worry whenever she thought of how cruel and vicious Tyler's parents were. Besides, he would surely be criticized by others if he was to have an all-out fight with his parents under the watchful eyes of everyone there. This would not bode well for either Vicky or Tyler since the more he was criticized, the easier it was for them to have something to hold over Tyler's head.

Tyler looked at Vicky's pale, haggard face. "Regardless of whether you're thrown into the mix, some fights are bound to happen between a parent and a child."

Vicky understood the underlying meaning of what he said. She raised her eyebrow and asked, "Does that mean that, apart from me, you and your parents have conflicts about other matters, too?"

"Of course. Conflicts are inevitable once their adopted son is involved," replied Tyler, who absent-mindedly raked his fingers through her hair.

"Vicky, do you know why they didn't just kill you?"
