"It hurts..." Nyla muttered, sweat breaking out on her forehead. Her delicate brows were tightly knitted, and her face was ghastly pale.The doctor arrived with her medication for gastritis around the same time.The intention was to have her take the medicine first. However, she was clenching her teeth so tightly that it was impossible to get her to swallow the pills.In this situation, the only option was to administer IV fluids.Once the IV was set up, the doctor turned to Damon and said, "When she wakes up, give her some light foods like chicken soup.""Got it."After giving a few more instructions, the doctor and the staff left."Mr. Sumner, maybe you should go get some rest. I'll keep an eye on Ms. Jayston," Spencer suggested.Damon glanced down at his hand, still tightly gripped by Nyla. His expression darkened.While the doctor had been setting up the IV earlier, he had tried to pry her hand away but had failed, which was why Nyla's other hand was used for the IV."Do

Nyla was dazed for a few seconds before she felt an indescribable warmth well up inside her.After getting up, washing up, taking her medicine, and eating her chicken soup, she decided to thank Damon properly. After all, she had been holding onto his hand all night, and he probably hadn't had a good rest.When she reached the door of the room next door, it opened from the inside just as she reached out to knock.Damon, with slightly damp hair and dressed in a fresh outfit, seemed to have just taken a shower."Mr. Sumner, I came to thank you for last night. I appreciate it," Nyla said.Seeing Nyla's eyes lowered, her hands awkwardly clasped in front of her, Damon thought she seemed a bit uncomfortable and nervous around him.Upon realizing this, his mood unexpectedly soured. He pressed his thin lips together."There's no need for thanks. Just make sure to speak up if you're feeling unwell next time. Don't make things difficult for others," he said.His indifferent tone made Nyla

Nyla pressed her lips together and said, "It's clear that the people at Skyray Medical are eager to secure this partnership. They might even send someone to follow us. If they find out we're going to the herb production base, they might prepare in advance."This meant they wouldn't be able to assess the true quality of the herbs at the base.Spencer smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Jayston. We have ways to evade Skyray Medical's people."Relieved to hear they had a plan, Nyla nodded and said no more.…Around 2:00 p.m., a car arranged by Spencer arrived at the hotel to pick them up.Shortly after they got in, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "We're being followed."Spencer remained calm. "Ignore them."Trying to lose them would only alert Skyray Medical. By acting unaware, they could keep Skyray Medical's people complacent.In less than half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of the busiest mall in Rontana. They got out and walked into the mall, with

Upon noticing the strong, firm hand around her waist and feeling its warmth seeping through the thin fabric, Nyla's face turned bright red. She quickly steadied herself, avoiding eye contact."Thank you, Mr. Sumner," she said.Damon withdrew his hand nonchalantly and said in a deep voice, "Watch where you're stepping even when looking at herbs."Nyla nodded. "Got it."From then on, Nyla was careful to watch her step, determined not to trip again. "These are the dried rauvolfia."A staff member casually handed a dried rauvolfia root to Damon, who inspected it briefly before passing it to Nyla."Take a look," he said.The rauvolfia looked no different from the ones Skyray Medical had shown them that morning. They would need to test it to determine the active ingredient content.Nyla turned to the staff member and asked, "Typically, what's the alkaloid content in rauvolfia?""It's usually around 0.1%. Anything higher is quite rare," the staff member replied.Actually, 0.1% was a

Bill quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction, maintaining a friendly smile, as he was quite the strategist."Of course, Mr. Sumner. Our company is very sincere about forming a long-term partnership with Prospectus Technology. I hope you will consider it seriously," Bill said.Damon nodded. "Yes, Mr. Jenkinson. Let me toast to you."The two continued chatting, and before long, they had finished a bottle of wine.Damon's usually pale face was now tinged with a faint red, and his typically cool eyes showed a hint of intoxication. Under the overhead light, his striking features were even more captivating, making it hard to look away.Catching herself staring, Nyla quickly averted her gaze."Ms. Jayston, a toast to you," Zoe said.Nyla turned to see Zoe holding out a glass of red wine, smiling warmly."I'm sorry, Ms. Quinn, I don't drink," Nyla replied."This is a low-alcohol red wine, very mild and with a rich, smooth taste. You should give it a try," Zoe insisted.As Zoe spoke, s

Back in the room at the restaurant.Half an hour had passed, and Nyla still hadn't returned.Damon's frown deepened. "Spencer, call Nyla."Bill quickly intervened, "Mr. Sumner, no need to worry. Zoe is with her, so nothing will happen."Damon pursed his lips, remaining silent and clearly in a foul mood.Bill hurriedly poured him another drink, not too concerned. After all, Nyla was just a regular employee. Even if Damon found out the truth later, he wouldn't make a big deal over a woman.Spencer called Nyla, and her phone started ringing in the room. She hadn't taken it when she went to the restroom.Seeing the unhappy looks on Damon and Spencer's faces, Bill quickly said, "Let me call Zoe to check."He dialed Zoe's number and put it on speaker. "Zoe, why are you not back with Ms. Jayston yet?"Zoe's calm voice came through. "Mr. Jenkinson, Ms. Jayston couldn't clean the wine stain off her clothes, so I'm helping her buy a new outfit. She's trying it on now. We'll be back soon

The man clearly hadn't expected Nyla to wake up at that moment and push him off the bed, so he cursed in frustration."Who are you?!" Nyla backed away, frantically searching for something to defend herself with, her face full of panic and fear.The man sneered, his tone lewd. "I'm the guy who's gonna make you feel amazing."With that, he lunged at her.A small red light blinked in the corner of the room, recording everything that was happening.As the man charged at Nyla, she swung a table lamp at his forehead. He screamed in pain, feeling warm liquid trickle down from his head, and slapped her hard."Bitch! You dare hit me? I'll make you pay!" he roared.He snatched the lamp from her and threw it to the floor, pinning her down. He grabbed her collar and yanked it hard, popping the buttons off and exposing her chest and bra.Lust and greed filled his eyes as he pulled her bra strap down, his expression lecherous.Nyla struggled desperately, and her nails scratched the man's fa

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
