When

Nyla returned home, she messaged HR to request a day off and slept until nearly noon. Upon checking her phone, she noticed several missed calls and a text message.

[Ms. Jayston, your medical report is ready. Our staff tried calling you but couldn’t reach you. You o either pick up a hard copy at the hospital’s medical office or call us back to receive an electronic version. Have a great day!]

Nyla immediately called the hospital to request an electronic copy of the report. As she opened it, her heart sank.

The result was devastating–she was indeed infertile.

Her

eyes filled with tears, not because of Clark, but because her dream of having her own child seemed impossible. She might never be able to become a mother.

Her phone slipped from her hand as she covered her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, she washed her face and decided to visit another hospital for a second opinion soon. If the infertility was confirmed, she would have to accept it and plan her future accordingly.

After a quick bite, she went to work.

As Nyla parked her car and approached the elevator, she heard footsteps and Spencer’s voice.

“Mr. Sumner, here’s this afternoon’s schedule for you,” Spencer said.

Nyla turned slightly and met Damon’s dark eyes.

Sumner, Mr. Hogg,” she greeted.

Damon’s ze lingered briefly on Nyla’s red eyes and tired face before moving away.

“How are you feeling? If you haven’t fully recovered, you can take more time off,” he reminded her.

Noticing his cold demeanor, Nyla guessed that her words at the hospital had made an impact. At that moment, however, she was preoccupied with something else, so she didn’t focus on Damon’s attitude.

She lowered her gaze and said softly. “The wound has mostly healed, so staying at home isn’t necessary.”

Damon hummed in response and said nothing more.

Spencer, observing the chilly interaction, was surprised. Had they had a falling out?

The elevator arrived.

Nyla stepped inside. When she saw that Damon didn’t follow, she asked, “Mr. Sumner, aren’t you coming?”

Damon calmly replied, “I left a document in the car. You go ahead.

“Okay,” Nyla said.

As the elevator doors closed, Spencer looked at Damon in confusion. “Mr. Sumner, what document? Should I go get it?

Damon pressed the elevator button. “No need. It’s not an important document. I’ll get it next time.”

Spencer was about to mention that an extra trip would be troublesome, but he suddenly realized that Damon wasn’t missing any document–he was clearly avoiding Nyla.

He couldn’t understand why Damon’s attitude toward Nyla had changed so drastically. Was it because of the marriage discussion? If so, it made sense.

Damon had always been indifferent to marriage, rejecting all of Marie’s matchmaking efforts. He could be in a relationship, but he had no intention of marrying.

It seemed Spencer no longer needed to worry about Damon’s interest in his niece–in–law affecting the company’s stock price.

When Nyla entered the lab, Melody, who was preparing solutions, brightened up upon seeing her.

“Nyla, you’re back?” she asked.

Nyla nodded and approached her. “Continue with what you’re doing. I’ll change into my lab coat and come help.”

“Sure!” Melody chirped.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

After putting on her lab coat, Nyla joined Melody and reviewed the experiment log. Satisfied that Melody was following her previous instructions, she set the log aside and began working on the experiment.

Having not seen Nyla for a while and being alone in the lab, Melody was eager to chat. “Nyla, the news about you saving Mr. Sumner has spread around the company. Now everyone’s saying that you and Mr. Sumner are dating.”

Nyla paused, then replied without much emotion, “Don’t worry about those rumors. They’re not
