You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1874: Letting Her Go and She Actually Goes

"Oh, by the way, | brought the key to the treasury and it's now in my hands," Vicki said, lowering her head and taking out a chain

from her pocket. She approached Felix, who had already pressed the automatic button by the side of the bed, raising it up so that

he could lie at an incline against the bed's backrest.

Vicki extended her hand and hooked it around his neck, placing the necklace with the key around his sturdy neck.

Being so close, her well-proportioned figure almost pressed against Felix's cheek. His face grew slightly warm as he deeply inhaled

her unique scent, belonging solely to her. It was at this moment that he felt a hint of reality. She was fine, she was okay.

"It's on," Vicki said as she fastened the necklace around Felix's neck. Just as she was about to pull away, Felix suddenly embraced

her, burying his handsface in her chest.

Vicki was taken aback for a moment, and then she pushed him gently, saying, "Don't act recklessly. Your shoulder injury hasn't

healed yet, and the wound might split open. Endure it for a few more days and we'll take care of it when we get back."

Felix had only intended to hug her, but at this moment, he was completely stunned.

What was she thinking? Was there only that one thing on her mind? Or did she think that was the only thing on his mind?

Just then, a nurse pushed the door open and saw them in their ambiguous embrace. The nurse's face turned red with

embarrassment, and she coughed twice.

She asked, "Should | cback later?"

Vicki moved away from Felix and turned to the nurse, saying, "No need, we weren't doing anything. You don't have to avoid us."

Felix remained silent. Perhaps it would have been better if she hadn't explained.

Blushing, the nurse approached them and said, "The doctor will be here soon. Letchange Mr. Saunders' wound dressing first."

Vicki stepped aside, saying, "Okay."

The nurse wheeled the care cart to the bedside and began to change Felix's wound dressing. When she removed the previously

adhesive gauze, Felix couldn't help but let out a light moan. The wound was deep, and it really hurt.

"Can you bear it? If you can't, | can apply snumbing medication," Vicki said, crossing her arms and watching from the side.

Felix gritted his teeth, determined not to let her underestimate him. When she was shot, she didn't even furrow her brows.

He clenched his teeth and said, "What's a mere dagger? It doesn't hurt."

Vicki raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying his statement.

Suddenly, Felix let out a cry, "Ah!"

It turned out that the nurse was sprinkling powder on his wound, causing a strong burning sensation that made his whole body

contract in waves. His scalp felt numb; it really hurt.

Vicki pouted, "Felix, | told you to apply snumbing medication earlier. This kind of antiseptic powder burns a lot, and you can't

bear it."

Felix stubbornly endured the pain, not wanting to show weakness. When she was injured by a gunshot, she didn't even flinch.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What's a mere dagger? It doesn't hurt."

Vicki raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying his statement.

Suddenly, Felix let out a cry, "Ah!"

It turned out that the nurse was sprinkling powder on his wound, causing a strong burning sensation that made his whole body

contract in waves. His scalp felt numb; it really hurt.

Vicki pouted, "Felix, | told you to apply snumbing medication earlier. This kind of antiseptic powder burns a lot, and you can't

bear it."

Felix forced himself to endure, not wanting to let her think less of him. After all, he didn't even flinch when she was shot.

The nurse finished applying the medication and left with the doctor who had just arrived.

The doctor conducted a detailed examination of Felix and then said, "Everything is normal. Previously, Mr. Saunders, you lost a lot

of blood and fell into a coma. Fortunately, you were brought to the hospital in time. When you were brought in, both your blood

pressure and pulse were at their limits, and your pupils were dilated. You received a lot of blood transfusions to stabilize your blood

pressure. If it had been a step later, the consequences would have been unimaginable. But now you're fine, you've woken up. The

wound doesn't have any problems, you'll receive intravenous antibiotics for a day and be observed, and you can be discharged the

day after tomorrow."

Felix was taken aback. He had no idea he had experienced such a dangerous situation, narrowly escaping death. Well, it was just a

regular shoulder injury, how could he have been unconscious for two days?

"Thank you, Doctor," Vicki nodded.

"You're welcome, Mr. Saunders. Rest well, and letknow if you need anything," the doctor said before turning around and

leaving with the nurse.

The VIP ward regained its tranquility. Felix pondered in his mind. He had gone through life and death, yet the woman in front of him

seemed calm and composed, unruffled. It made him even more displeased.

"Vicki, was my condition really critical at that time? Did you bringto the hospital?" he asked.

"Of course," Vicki replied lazily.

"Were you worried back then?" Felix propped himself up slightly, trying to test her.

"Did | not say for you to go back first? Did | not tell you? When your body starts feeling cold, you must informimmediately?

Why did you have to act tough? Do you know that excessive blood loss, hypothermia, loss of consciousness, and death can happen

in an instant? Do you have no common sense?!" Vicki's face turned cold as she scolded him sternly.

Felix's expression immediately fell.

He had just wanted to see her worried or concerned for him, but there was none of that. Perhaps he had only felt a hint of urgency

when she stopped his bleeding and wrapped his shoulder with a cloth in the Saunders family hall that day. But the situation was

too chaotic back then, and he didn't feel it too deeply.

In the woods behind the mountain, Vicki revealed her past with Cloud in front of everyone. They had grown up together, supported

each other through hardships, and grown up side by side. He then learned that Vicki and Suzuki Rayan were childhood

sweethearts, deeply in love. Their feelings were so profound that even though they grew apart later on, it was Cloud who saved

Vicki. And on that day, Cloud appeared just in time, turned against Seren at a critical moment, and killed her to prevent Vicki from

dying with her.

He admitted that he was afraid. Afraid that he couldn't compare to Cloud in Vicki's heart.

Could their four-year "friends with benefits" relationship really overctwo instances of life-saving favors?

That's why he was so eager to see a different attitude from Vicki towards him.

"Vicki, if those are the only words you have for me, then go," Felix said in frustration.

Vicki glanced at her watch and replied, "Okay. I've already said everything | wanted to say. Since you're awake and there's nothing

wrong, I'll leave. There are smatters at hthat need my attention."

Felix was stunned.

His eyes widened almost to their limit. She really did leave when he told her to. Couldn't she tell that he was just angry?

He really didn't know if she didn't understand or if she was deliberately provoking him.

As Vicki was about to reach the door, Felix couldn't bear it any longer and called out to her loudly.

"Vicki, | didn't tell you to leave!"

Vicki turned around in surprise, saying, "Huh? Do you need something? | heard you say forto leave just now. Did | mishear?"

Felix had a face full of exasperation. "Don't leave, | have something to ask you."

Vicki shrugged her shoulders and walked back to Felix's side. "What do you want to ask?"

Felix took a deep breath and finally asked the question that had been weighing on his heart.

"Vicki, do you like Rayan?"
