Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)

Chapter 1875: The Steel-hearted Woman

Vicki paused again, her mind filled with confusion. Ever since Felix woke up, she felt that something

was off about him. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. One moment he would ask her to leave, and

the next he would ask her to stay.

Now he was asking her these strange questions.

"Why are you asking these things? Since you're injured, shouldn't you rest properly? Can't you stop

being so difficult?" Vicki furrowed her brow, speaking in her usual straightforward style.

"Difficult?" Felix thought he misheard, surprised that she considered him to be joking around. "Can't I

ask?"

Vicki's brow furrowed even deeper. "I used to like him. I made it clear that day. So what?"

Felix's heart sank. She openly admitted that she liked Rayan, which hurt him deeply. What was he to

her? Looking back, every time they were together, it seemed like they were just engaging in physical

intimacy. There was no dating or love. Even their marriage was him seizing an opportunity to marry her

and she returned the ring he bought for her. The child was something he wanted, and she seemed to

have no emotional attachment to the baby, almost taking both of them down together.

Felix opened his mouth to say something, but all the words escaped him.

"Just go." His voice was cold, tinged with heartache.

"Fine, I'll come back tonight." Vicki didn't suspect anything and turned to leave.

Felix was once again infuriated. Couldn't she see that he was angry?

As she pushed open the door, Luther and Joyce happened to arrive at the entrance. Seeing Vicki open

the door, Joyce was the first to ask, "Vicki, I heard Mr. Saunders woke up. How is he? Is he okay?"

Vicki replied, "The doctor said he's fine and can be discharged the day after tomorrow."

"That's good to hear." Joyce breathed a sigh of relief.

Felix overheard their conversation and muttered to himself. Even Joyce knew to ask if he was okay.

That heartless woman, she almost drove him to his death.

"Mr. Warner, thank you for your help this time," Vicki expressed her gratitude.

"You're being too polite. You've done more for us," Luther replied with a slight smile.

Joyce saw Vicki seemingly about to leave and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yeah. Felix told me to go back first, and I still have many things to take care of." Vicki responded.

Felix, standing not far away, felt even more exasperated. How couldn't she see that he was angry?

At that moment, Luther had already entered the hospital room and sat down next to the bed.

Joyce glanced at Felix in the distance, then looked at Vicki, feeling that something was amiss between

the two of them.

So she took hold of Vicki's arm and said, "Don't leave just yet. Since you're here, let me take you for a Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

prenatal check-up. I don't think you've had one. I'm familiar with the doctors here, and it won't take

long. It's better to be cautious during the first three months, especially after the suffering and hardships

you've been through recently and being busy with the Saunders family affairs. You shouldn't neglect

your own health. Come with me for the examination."

"But..." Vicki hesitated, feeling reluctant to refuse.

"No 'buts.' Let's go." Joyce insisted and pulled Vicki along. "You're pregnant, and you can't treat

yourself like before. The first three months are critical, and you should be careful. Besides, you've been

through a lot recently and have been suffering. It's important to take care of your body. Come, let's go

for the check-up."

Vicki felt embarrassed to refuse. "Alright."

Felix's face was filled with frustration and speechlessness upon hearing their conversation.

After they left, Luther glanced at Felix and asked, "So, you're already having a quarrel right after

waking up?"

Felix quickly straightened his posture. "How did you know? Joyce must have noticed it. Otherwise, she

wouldn't have insisted on taking Vicki for a check-up. Thanks to Joyce, I didn't even think about it. Vicki

was kidnapped and suffered at Seren's place. It's better for her to have a check-up for peace of mind."

"You were clearly written all over your face. How could I not see it?" Luther chuckled.

Felix touched his cheek. "Yeah, I felt like I was quite obvious. But why can't she see it? I asked her if

she liked Rayan, and she said she did. In a fit of anger, I told her to leave, and she actually did. It's like

she wanted to drive me crazy."

Luther ponderedfor a moment. "There's a new term on the internet called 'steel-hearted woman.' Have

you heard of it?"

Felix paused for a moment.

Luther shrugged. "I think it probably describes Vicki's personality type."

Felix was taken aback. "Steel-hearted woman? Why does it describe her so accurately? It's just too

fitting! Vicki is like a steel plate, no matter how hard you kick it, it only hurts yourself, and she doesn't

react at all."

Luther raised an eyebrow. "If you're trying to get back at Vicki, it's a futile effort. I advise you not to

waste your energy. Since you've woken up, let me tell you what happened in the past two days. After

you lost consciousness, she brought you to the hospital. Your condition was critical, with low blood

pressure and dilated pupils, on the verge of death. I arrived later, and when I came, she was on the

verge of pulling out a dagger, threatening the doctor to save you. The blood bank was running low, and

there wasn't enough blood for you. She brought a few people by force to donate blood."

As Luther spoke, he couldn't help but rub his forehead. Vicki's personality was... indescribable. This

was a hospital, and she caused him to run around, apologizing to everyone.

Felix remained speechless.

Indeed, it was something Vicki could do.

She never mentioned it to him, even though she could have told him. But when he woke up, she only

mentioned the things she had been dealing with these past two days, in a business-like tone.

Luther lightly patted Felix on the back. "Cloud left yesterday after submitting the anti-electromagnetic

pulse blueprint. He officially left OGW. I arranged a new identity for him, changing his name back to

Rayan. He was sent to a small island in the Caribbean by a private plane. He won't be coming back.

When he left, Vicki didn't go to see him off."

Finally, Felix's complexion improved slightly. "Good riddance."

"I know what you're thinking. You feel like there's a history between them, right?" Luther asked.

"It's not that I mind. I just... sigh, I don't know how to describe it." Felix's handsome face scrunched up,

and he irritably scratched his hair. "I don't know what I mean to her. She has never made it clear. A

woman who is willing to marry you, willing to have your child. What else could it mean? She's just not

good at expressing herself. If she had any lingering feelings for Cloud, she would have left with him that

day. Besides, with Vicki's personality, she would never turn back. You should know that. Rest assured,

she's yours. The child is yours too. Vicki won't run away."

Felix let out a sigh. Who said she was a steel-hearted woman? He could only accept it.
