Chasing the Unexpected

Damon sat by the bedside, his expression calm as he watched Nyla.

The last memory before she passed out rushed back into Nyla’s mind. She bit her lip and looked down. Mr. Sumner, thank you for saving me.”

If he hadn’t arrived in time, she could only imagine what might have happened.

“This happened because I didn’t consider everything carefully enough. I’m sorry,” Damon said.

Upon meeting Damon’s earnest gaze, Nyla’s heart skipped a beat. She instinctively looked away.

“It’s not your fault. No one could have predicted that Skyray Medical’s people would do something like this, Nyla replied.

Besides, Zoe had not only tried to have her assaulted but had also planned to record it, likely intending to blackmail her after she refused to accept the bribe.

Thinking about it made her eyes turn cold.

Seeing Nyla’s downcast eyes and pale face, Damon’s gaze darkened. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Nyla shook her head and hesitantly asked, “What about Zoe?”

“Don’t worry. She’s been punished appropriately. Prospectus Technology won’t be working with Skyray Medical anymore,” he reassured her.

Nyla bit her lip and nodded. “Thank you for taking care of it, Mr. Sumner.”

“Get some rest. The doctor will check on you soon. If everything is fine, you can be discharged,” he said. “Okay.”

Nyla wasn’t tired, but Damon’s overwhelming presence made it impossible to ignore him. Plus, they had nothing to talk about, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Unexpectedly, she actually fell asleep.

When Nyla woke up again, it was 2:00 p.m. The IV was gone, and she felt much better.

Damon, who was reading documents on the sofa, looked up at her and said in a low voice, “There’s porridge on the table.”

“Thank you, Mr. Sumner,” Nyla said.

Feeling hungry, Nyla got up, washed up in the bathroom, and then started eating her soup. It was her favorite, chicken soup.

After a few sips, she looked up at Damon. “Mr. Sumner have you eaten lunch yet?”

“Yes. The doctor said all your health indicators are normal. Once you finish your food and change, we’ll head to the airport and return to Saintornia,” he replied.

“Okay.” She continued eating.

Shortly after, Spencer walked in with a stack of reports, Mr. Sumner, Ms. Jayston’s discharge papers are ready.”

Damon nodded. “Leave them there.”

Nyla put down her spoon and looked at Spencer. “Mr. Hogg, can I see the hospital bill? I want to know the

cost.”

Before Spencer could move, Damon looked at her and said, “Don’t worry about the hospital fees. This counts as a work injury, so you don’t have to pay.”

“Okay.” Seeing Damon’s determined expression, Nyla didn’t argue and continued eating.

Half an hour later, they left for the airport.

On the way, Nyla learned from Spencer about Zoe and Bill’s fate.

Zoe and the man she had hired were arrested for criminal offenses. Meanwhile, Bill was fired from Skyray Medical and faced jail time for embezzlement and incitement to commit a crime.

Spencer didn’t share the details of what had happened in that room afterward, wanting to avoid scaring her.

Nyla was satisfied with this outcome. She felt no sympathy for Zoe and the others. They got what they deserved.

They arrived back in Saintornia after 11:00 p.m.

Nyla showered and went straight to bed.

The next two days were the weekend, so she didn’t have to work.

She slept in the following morning, got up, and went to buy groceries for the next two days.

While she was picking fish in the fresh produce section, she suddenly heard a sweet female voice from not far away.
