Nyla quickly asked Leon which hospital he was in and booked a ride to get there.

When Nyla arrived, Leon was already waiting at the entrance.

“Nyla, I’ll show you the way. Sullivan’s at Block 2,” Leon said.

Nyla nodded, following him to the inpatient wing. As they approached the building, she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks a few steps from the entrance.

In front of her, entering the inpatient wing, was Damon, who had told her that morning he was going to the company. There was no mistaking that back.

Stunned, Nyla stood there, her mind blank for a moment.

Damon had lied to her–again.

What on earth was in this hospital that compelled him to lie time and again?

Leon noticed that Nyla had fallen behind and turned back. “Nyla, you—”

Before he could finish, Nyla began walking quickly toward the inpatient building.

He followed her, a bit taken aback. “Nyla, there’s no need to rush. I know which room he’s in.”

Nyla looked at him, expressionless, and said, “Leon, I have something else to take care of. I’ll speak with Ruby when we’re back at work on Monday. You can go home first.”

Before Leon could respond, she turned and left

Nyla trailed Damon silently until he entered an elevator. She watched the indicator to see which floors it stopped on, then took the next elevator up and checked each floor

Finally, on the 12th floor, she saw Damon standing by a hospital room. He had his back against the door as he spoke to someone inside so he didn’t see her.

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to stay calm and waited for him to come out.

However, just two minutes later, a nurse walked by. “Miss, are you here to visit someone?” Her voice wasn’t quiet, and Damon heard it, turning to see Nyla. His expression faltered, and he quickly walked toward her.

When Damon moved, Nyla caught a glimpse of who was in the hospital ward. Harrison was Jying in bed with a respirator. His eyes were shut, leaving it unclear whether he was

sleeping or unconscious.

Nyla felt disbelief wash over her as she took in how emaciated Harrison looked. She stumbled back.

The nurse was about to ask Nyla again, since she wasn’t responding, when Damon approached.

“Mr. Sumner, she’s been looking into the ward” the nurse informed him but was interrupted.

“Got it. She’s my girlfriend,” Damon said.

The nurse’s face registered surprise and a hint of disappointment. “Oh, I see… Well, I’ll leave you to it then.”

She hurried away. Damon’s full attention was on Nyla, so he didn’t notice anything off about the nurse.

“Nyla, please, let me explain…” he began.

Without a word, Nyla turned and left.

Damon caught up to her at the elevator, stepping in front of her to stop her. “Nyla, I didn’t mean to keep this from you.”

Nyla took a deep breath, finally looking up at him. “So, all those times you lied were just to come here to see him?”

He nodded. “Yes.”

Nyla nodded back, silent as she stared at the elevator display. When Damon reached for her hand, she pulled it away before he could touch her.
