Loving You In Secret Chapter 1714-The white shirt clung to Tyler’s body, soaked through by the scalding water. The heat still lingered, and one could distinctly

feel the heat emanating from his clothing.

As Vicky was about to speak, a low, hoarse voice reached her ears. “Did you get burned?”

Jennifer snapped out of her shock and nervously approached. “Vicky, are you alright?”

She was aware of Vicky’s pregnancy. Even if the boiling water had only landed on her body, the high temperature alone

could pose a risk to the baby’s well-being.

“I’m fine,” Vicky replied, her complexion pale but her expression composed. “He’s been burned. Jennifer, please help us

get to the hospital.”

Jennifer nodded with a grave expression.

At this moment, no one had the luxury of paying any attention to Bella as getting to the hospital was the top priority. The

three of them hurriedly left the private room, not sparing another glance at Bella.

…

Inside the car, Vicky sat with Tyler in the back seat. Due to his back injury, he could not sit upright.

Jennifer dared not to drive too fast as she wanted to avoid any jolts on the road.

Although Vicky appeared calm, her body was tense, and her fingers were curled. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She stared out the window in silence when a hand gently moved to separate her tightly clenched fingers.

Vicky turned to look at Tyler.

“I’m fine,” he calmly spoke, his eyes bright under the streetlamps’ dappled light. “Don’t worry.”

Despite his injuries, Tyler’s mood appeared surprisingly stable.

In the dimly lit car, Vicky looked into Tyler’s eyes and spoke softly, “Thank you.”

She had not expected Bella to resort to such a reckless act. Without Tyler’s intervention, she might have not only been

disfigured but also lost the baby.

However, despite Tyler’s initial calmness, his expression darkened at her words.

He remained silent for a good while before saying in a detached tone, “I was only protecting the child.”

Vicky knew that his actions were solely motivated by concern for the baby. Nevertheless, regardless of the reasons, she

emerged from the incident unscathed under his protection.

The car soon arrived at the hospital.

After a thorough examination, the doctor wore a somewhat solemn expression.

“The burn covers a large area, and because the water temperature was extremely high, the injury is quite severe. The

wound has adhered to the shirt, so we’ll need to use scissors to separate them before treatment.”

Vicky had seen Tyler’s back beforehand, which was scalded to the point of indistinct flesh and blood. The visual impact of

such a burn was overwhelming, and it took Vicky a long time to recover from the shock.

Jennifer, too, was so scared that she covered her mouth and nearly screamed at the sight of the wound.

Observing the pale look on their faces, the doctor quickly reassured them, “Don’t worry, we’ll administer local anesthesia

to minimize the pain during treatment.”

While the treatment might be less painful, the wound would likely hurt afterward.

“Will it leave a scar?” Vicky asked.

The doctor hesitated. “Well… With today’s medical technology, even if there is scarring, post-operative procedures can

help minimize it.”

In other words, there would be scarring.

Soon, Tyler was wheeled into the emergency room for treatment.
