The doctor turned to Rachel and said, “As long as he doesn’t over-exert himself physically or mentally, it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just a superficial wound, after all. It’s certainly not as severe as suffering from internal injuries.”

Rachel agreed with the doctor’s assessment. As long as Tyler didn’t move around too excessively, recovering shouldn’t be a problem.

After the doctor left, Tyler stared hard at Rachel and asked, “What was going through your mind just now?”

Rachel repeated herself, “Nothing.”

Tyler rolled up his sleeves, exposing his strong and muscular forearms.

“Don’t force me to take my special approach on you.”

Rachel had to hand it to Tyler. She had no idea how he managed to tell at a glance that she was hiding something from him. Was it that obvious? However, Rachel didn’t want to hide it from him any longer. He had to know about it sooner or later.

“I just wanted to ask this: You were the one who saved me from that fire a few years ago, right?”

Tyler’s eyes dimmed for a split second, but he recovered very quickly, not forgetting to wear a smirk on his face.

“You snuck a look at me just now.”

Rachel almost couldn’t stand Tyler’s intrusive gaze, which made her feel like a thief caught red-handed. She quickly explained, “I accidentally spotted it just now.”

Tyler clearly didn’t believe her explanation. With an arched brow, he asked doubtfully, “Was it really an accident, or did you do it on purpose?”

“I…” Rachel’s defenses were coming down. It wasn’t that she was mentally weak, but that it was practically impossible to stand up against the penetrating gaze Tyler was giving her. It felt as though he could see right through another just by staring at them. She couldn’t hide any secrets from him.

Tyler stretched a hand out and pinched her flushed cheeks. “The moral of the story is, don’t lie. The truth will come out sooner or later.”

Rachel tried to stand up for herself, refusing to admit defeat. “Mr. Hunt, have you never lied? You were the one who saved me years ago. Why did you lie to me for such a long time instead of just telling me the truth? You knew very well that William wasn’t the one who saved me, yet you hid the truth from me for him. Why?”

Rachel couldn’t figure that out. Why did Tyler hide the fact that he saved her? William didn’t say anything about it, either. He had lied to her for so many years, stealing Tyler’s credit.

The mere thought of William claiming to love her filled Rachel with deep disgust.

Tyler leaned back leisurely on his chair and rubbed his jaw. “I didn’t think much of it back then. I just thought that since your mom treated me so well, I couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye to her daughter in trouble.”

“Oh…” Rachel said, looking slightly upset.

Tyler didn’t miss the slight change on Rachel’s face. He drew closer to her and stared at her fair, dewy cheeks for a while before saying teasingly, “Why do you look kind of disappointed?”

Rachel hurriedly denied his claim.

“Can you stop trying to psychoanalyze people? I didn’t say a thing, and you can just tell what I was thinking from my eyes? You shouldn’t be engaging with normal people like me. You should be engaging with the mute instead. How about this—why don’t you change jobs and tell people’s fortunes by their face?”

Rachel almost burst out laughing at the idea.

Tyler tilted his chin, a confident look on his face. “I won’t claim to know other people well, but you’re different. I know you way better than you know yourself.”
