Chapter 1247

[What do you feel like eating tomorrow, Vicky? I'll cook for you.]

Vicky laid in bed, exhausted to the point that she could not even shower.

[You don't have to come over tomorrow.] Vicky replied.

Aurora mistakenly thought that Vicky was mad and immediately called her.

"Vicky, what's wrong? Did you not like the food I cooked for you today?"

"That's not it." Vicky closed her eyes and muttered, "Tyler and I fought. I won't be going to the hospital again."

"You've been so patient with him, so how on earth did you two end up fighting?* Aurora asked in surprise. "What did you two fight about?*

Vicky recounted the events briefly.

"... So it was because of me." Aurora felt terrible for what happened. "Vicky, I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault. He never trusted me in the first place. Whenever something happens, he'd assume I have bad intentions.*

Aurora felt that this was the time when Vicky needed her friends the most and said, "Hey, just wait for me at home, okay? I'll come over right away," Aurora said.

Aurora arrived soon after, carrying fresh groceries from the supermarket.

Her culinary skills had improved significantly lately, and even her eye for selecting ingredients had grown sharper.

Aurora insisted on cooking herself and shooed Vicky out of the kitchen, saying, "I've had enough meals at your place before, so it's my turn to cook."

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Vicky had no choice but to let Aurora cook.

After dinner, they sat on the sofa chatting as Aurora tried to console Vicky.

"Taking care of someone is a mentally and physically taxing job, and it doesn't always get appreciated. Since Tyler doesn't appreciate it, you don't need to bother yourself over it. Tomorrow, I'll take you for a makeover, shopping, and we can go on a trip to relax."

Vicky nodded.

After chatting for a while, Aurora noticed how tired Vicky seemed and urged her to rest.

Vicky took a shower and lay down to sleep. She thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but she quickly drifted into a deep slumber due to exhaustion.

After a while, she was abruptly awakened by the jarring sound of her phone ringing.

Still half-asleep, she answered the call without checking the caller ID." Hello...?"

"Missus Hart, something's not right! Mister Hart has a high fever and has been taken to the emergency room!” Harry blurted out, panicking.

Vicky's drowsiness vanished in an instant. "What did you say?"

"I don't know what happened, but Mister Hart suddenly developed a high fever..." Harry's voice was quivering. "The doctor said his condition is severe. He's being treated in the emergency room now..."
