Chapter 489

Damon completely ignored the Sumners in the room.

Richard was furious as he ordered the bodyguards to restrain Damon, “Look at yourself! is a woman. worth destroying yourself like this?”

Pale and with bloodshot eyes, Damon glared at the bodyguards holding him back. “Move aside!”

“Mr. Damon, please don’t make this difficult for us…” one of the bodyguards said.

“Move aside! Don’t make me repeat myself,” Damon warned.

“No one’s moving! You’re not stepping out of this room today, or any day in the future. You’re not allowed see that woman again. She jumped off a cliff four days ago and hasn’t been found. It’s impossible that she’s still alive. How long will you deceive yourself? Richard demanded.

Damon turned his gaze toward him, the oppressive force in his eyes making the entire room feel even more confined.

“What does it have to do with you? I’ve severed ties with the Sumners. What I do is none of your business, hé retorted.

“You!” Richard was so furious he nearly collapsed. Damon was infuriating him beyond measure.

“You’re not leaving this room until you’re fully clear–headed!” Richard snapped.

To prevent Damon from sneaking out, Richard had stationed ten bodyguards at the windows and doors, even at the bathroom door.

On the third day, Spencer finally managed to see Damon. “Mr. Sumner, your father has withdrawn those who were searching for Ms. Jayston. What now Damon lowered his gaze, his expression calm and showing no surprise. “Understood. Where are the people who kidnapped Nyla now?”

“They’ve been sent to the police station,” Spencer informed him.

“Alright,” Damon replied.

Seeing that Damon showed no intention of taking action against Steven’s family, Spencer let out a silent sigh of relief.

“Mr. Sumner… do you still want to continue searching for Ms. Jayston?” he asked.

“No. I’ll be discharged in a few days. When that happens, take Rebecca along. I need to visit the Preston Group,” Damon replied.

Damon knew that the chance of Nyla being alive was very slim.

After a week, even a healthy man would have no chance of survival. As much as he didn’t want to accept it, he had to face the reality.

At the same time, he began to despise himself. If he hadn’t been indecisive when Rebecca returned to the country, he wouldn’t have lost Nyla and… their child….

Damon’s expression remained calm, but Spencer felt a growing unease.

It had only been seven days since Damon’s relentless search for Nyla. Was he already accepting her death so quickly?

“Mr. Sumner… are you okay?” Spencer asked.

“I’m fine. Just do as I instructed,” Damon replied.

He would not spare anyone who had harmed her, including himself. Before he sought redemption with Nyla, he would ensure that those responsible were punished severely.

The day Damon was discharged was clear and sunny.

Richard remained somewhat uneasy, even after confirming that Damon wouldn’t go mad searching for Nyla again.

“Damon, are you sure you’ve come to terms with this?” he asked.

Of course. I’ve accepted reality. She’s not coming back,” Damon answered.

It was his fault that he had lost her, and there was no way to bring her back.

“That’s the right attitude. After all, she’s just a woman. With your status, many women will come to you. There’s no need to create such a commotion ove “You’re right,” Damon replied, playing along.

Richard finally relaxed and withdrew most of the bodyguards around Damon, leaving a few to keep an eye on him in case something unexpected happen Indifferent or perhaps unconcerned, Damon left the hospital and instructed the driver to head directly to the Preston Group.
