Before Damon got engaged to Erin, he had already realized that he had no physical desire for any woman, Even if a woman stood naked in front of him, it did nothing for him.

He later consulted a doctor, who suggested that it might be a lingering effect of the car accident he had been in. The doctor had even recommended trying adult films, but that didn’t work either.

Not only was there no physical reaction, but Damon also felt nothing emotionally.

After trying for a while, he accepted his reality and decided marriage wasn’t in the cards for him.

He had assumed he would never be interested in women–until that day in the elevator when Nylal bumped into him. Suddenly, he felt electrified by the contact.

At first, he thought it was just a fluke. However, when he saw her again at the celebration party, he felt something strange stir inside him.

He couldn’t quite identify what it was, but instinctively, he wanted to resist it. Yet despite his resistance, his eyes were drawn to her.

Damon frowned, pushing away the chaotic thoughts. He rubbed his temples, wondering if he was just too tired. Otherwise, why would he feel a sense of deja vu when he saw Nyla?

After Damon left, Erin called her mother. “Mom, I saw Nyla tonight.”

There was a brief silence on the other end before Melissa Gaskin’s voice came through.

“What nonsense are you talking about? That woman died five years ago. Do you think she’s come back from the dead?” she asked.

“I’m serious! I even talked to her! You should ask Dad to investigate and see if she’s really alive!” Erin’s voice trembled, betraying her panic and instability.

Hearing her daughter’s anxious tone, Melissa said seriously, “Alright. Il tell your father to look into it.”

The Hulles had thrived over the past few years, largely due to Erin’s engagement to Damon. Their business had grown significantly compared to five years ago

If Nyla really wasn’t dead, it could potentially disrupt the Hulles‘ future.

After hanging up, Melissa hurried to her husband’s study.

Nyla and her company had just finished dinner and were walking out of the restaurant when she received a call from Caroline.

“Nyla, there’s an issue with one of the data sets in the experiment I’m running. I’m on my way home and can’t make it to the lab in time. Do you have time to check it for me?” Caroline asked.

“Sure. I’ll head over right away,” Nyla replied.

After learning what happened, Oliver drove Nyla to the ab immediately, Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He suggested on the way, “My place is closer to the lab than yours. It’s getting late. How about I take Buddy to my place to sleep? When you’re done, call me, and I’ll come pick you up.”

Nyla glanced at Mason, who was starting to doze off in the back seat, and nodded. “Okay.”

When they arrived outside the lab, Nyla unbuckled her seatbelt and said, “Oliver, I’m sorry to trouble you with Buddy.”

Oliver gave her a warm look. “It’s no trouble. Just call me when you’re done.”

Once Nyla disappeared into the lab, Oliver started the car and drove off.

As soon as Nyla stepped into the lab, Leon Colwell hurried over. “Nyla, you’re here…”

“Which set of data is the issue?” Nyla asked.

“No. 25,” Leon answered.

Nyla took the experimental data and records Leon handed her, scanning them quickly.

Ten minutes later, she frowned and said, “There’s nothing wrong with the experiment records. The entire experiment for this set will need to be redone.”

Leon’s face fell. “The data is due tomorrow morning. Looks like we’re pulling an all–nighter.”

Nyla patted his shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Professor Kington tomorrow and make sure you all get some rest. I’ll stay with you tonight and help,
