"Thank you, Daddy!" Mason exclaimed.
Damon's gaze shifted from Mason to Nyla, and a complex emotion flickered in his eyes before settling back into calmness.
"Ms. Kinsey, how's your recovery going?" he asked.
Caught off guard by Damon's cool stare, Nyla hesitated.
For a brief moment, she felt as though he might have regained his memory, but she quickly pushed that thought aside.
"Mr. Sumner, I'm doing much better now. I've already arranged for my discharge. I truly appreciate what you did for me that day. If it weren't for you, I might not be here anymore," she said gratefully.
She had never expected Damon to risk his own life to protect her, and the memory of him throwing himself toward her still stirred her heart. Damon lowered his gaze and replied indifferently, "You are the most important person in Buddy's life. I just didn't want him to be sad."
Nyla paused but nodded. "Regardless, I'm very grateful. If you don't mind, I'd like to come and take care of you until you're discharged."
Since Damon had saved her life and didn't need money, she felt that taking care of him during his hospital stay was the least she could do to express her gratitude.
"It's not necessary," Damon declined.
Nyla frowned. "Mr. Sumner-"
"It's not appropriate. If you care for me, Mr. Raynor will likely be displeased. Besides, what happened five years ago... Spencer has already told me that I was the one who wronged you, so you don't need to feel guilty," Damon said.
Nyla was taken aback, about to respond when Damon's cold voice cut her off. "I'm tired. You can go now. During this time, I'll have someone protect you and Buddy, so you don't have to worry about any dangers."
Upon seeing Damon close his eyes, Nyla's hands clenched slowly.
"Alright, Mr. Sumner, thank you for everything," she replied.
After Nyla and Mason left, Damon opened his eyes and looked at Spencer. "Tell me how those guys were captured afterward."
"After you and Ms. Kinsey fell, those
two knew they couldn't escape, so they stopped resisting. One more was@aught at the top of the mountain.
"As for Mr. Mason, he was hiding in a cave covered by bushes and only came out after they were all captured," Spencer answered. "Got it," Damon replied.
...
In the following days, Nyla finally found a new place to move into.
Damon's health gradually improved to the point where he could start walking again.
Although Damon had told Nyla not to come by, she still brought soup for him every day, accompanied by Mason.
At first, Damon refused her offerings. Later, he simply ignored her, acting as if he didn't see her when she came over.
As Damon's health improved, he began preparing to confront Clark about the kidnapping of Nyla and Mason.
...
Cyrus and Cindy somehow learned that Damon had imprisoned Clark and stormed into the hospital to confront him.
"Damon, where have you locked up
my son? warn you to let him go
right now, or I'll call the police!" Cindy threatened as she barged in.
Damon was drinking soup at the time.
Cindy's anger flared due to his calm demeanor. She knocked the bowl out of his hand, spilling soup all over the blanket.
Damon's gaze turned darkened, and the chill radiating from him made Cindy shudder and instinctively take two steps back.
Grinding her teeth, she mustered her courage and shouted, "Damon, you don't have to put on this intimidating act! I'm not afraid of you! Where's Clark? If you don't tell me, I swear I'll make you regret it!"
