Damon turned back to Nyla and said, âIâll walk you upstairs.â
Nyla shook her head. âNo need, itâs already late. You should head back. Thanks for bringing us home.â
With that, she stepped out of the car, carrying Mason.
Damon handed her the car keys, saying, âIf anything comes up, feel free to reach out.â
Nyla paused. That strange feeling sheâd had at the hospital resurfaced. She vividly remembered how Damonâs attitude toward her had shifted since heâd woken up.
It made her suspiciousâcould Damon have regained his memory?
Despite her suspicions, this wasnât the time to test him. She took the keys and nodded. âOkay, Mr. Sumner. Thank you for tonight.â
Damon didnât say anything more. He watched as Nyla and Mason disappeared into the stairwell before driving away.
In the following days, after Nyla coordinated with Leon and Ruby, they began working on their project in Prospectus Technologyâs lab.
The project was a collaboration with Prospectus Technologyâs team to develop a treatment drug for heart disease.
Prospectus Technology had four researchers: two men, Brody Lamphere and Sullivan Heseltine, and two women, Tina Goff and Demi Minogue. Sullivan was the team leader.
With so many people involved, coordination proved challenging.
Brody and Leon specialized in testing, but one of them needed to join the experiment team since they only required one tester.
Brody crossed his arms, looking displeased. âIâm not good at experiments. Let Leon join the experiment
team.â
Leon frowned. He had already planned to join the experiment team, but Brodyâs attitude grated on him.
âIâm not great at experiments either, and youâre not the team leader. Why should listen to you?â Leon
shot back.
Brody scowled. âFine, but if you force me into the experiment team and I mess up, donât blame me if things go wrong.â
âAre you threatening me?â Leon hissed.
Still young and hotâtempered, he was about to step forward.
Nyla held him back, reminding him, âLeon, calm down.â
Sullivan also stepped in to mediate.

With a smile, he said, âLeon, donât be mad. Brodyâs always been like this. Try not to take it personally.â
Brody let out a sneer. âSullivan, Iâm not afraid of this kid. We can settle it with a fightâwhoever wins stays on the testing team.â
His words instantly reignited the tense atmosphere, and Leonâs expression darkened.
âFine, letâs fight!â Leon snapped.
âLeon!â Nyla called out, her eyes flashing with anger. âYouâll join the experiment team.â
âBut, Nyla-â Leon started.
âEither do as I say or go back to Capitarnia,â Nyla warned.
Leon gritted his teeth, frustration flashing in his eyes, but he turned away without saying anything further. Brody was about to speak, but Sullivan shot him a warning glare. âIâm telling you, donât push your luck!â
Brody shrank back under Sullivanâs cold stare and fell silent.
Nyla turned to Sullivan. âSullivan, who do you think would be suitable to join the experiment team? We still need one more person.â

Sullivan replied with a smile, âTina has a lot of experience with experiments. She can join the team.â
âAlright, thank you,â Nyla answered.
After allocating tasks, Nyla took the team to the lab, explained the precautions, and then let them start working.
Since being stopped by Nyla earlier in the day, Leon had been in a foul mood.
