Damon turned back to Nyla and said, “I’ll walk you upstairs.”

Nyla shook her head. “No need, it’s already late. You should head back. Thanks for bringing us home.”

With that, she stepped out of the car, carrying Mason.

Damon handed her the car keys, saying, “If anything comes up, feel free to reach out.”

Nyla paused. That strange feeling she’d had at the hospital resurfaced. She vividly remembered how Damon’s attitude toward her had shifted since he’d woken up.

It made her suspicious–could Damon have regained his memory?

Despite her suspicions, this wasn’t the time to test him. She took the keys and nodded. “Okay, Mr. Sumner. Thank you for tonight.”

Damon didn’t 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 Technology’s lab.

The project was a collaboration with Prospectus Technology’s 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. “I’m not good at experiments. Let Leon join the experiment

team.”

Leon frowned. He had already planned to join the experiment team, but Brody’s attitude grated on him.

“I’m not great at experiments either, and you’re not the team leader. Why should listen to you?” Leon

shot back.

Brody scowled. “Fine, but if you force me into the experiment team and I mess up, don’t blame me if things go wrong.”

“Are you threatening me?” Leon hissed.

Still young and hot–tempered, he was about to step forward.

Nyla held him back, reminding him, “Leon, calm down.”

Sullivan also stepped in to mediate.

With a smile, he said, “Leon, don’t be mad. Brody’s always been like this. Try not to take it personally.”

Brody let out a sneer. “Sullivan, I’m not afraid of this kid. We can settle it with a fight–whoever wins stays on the testing team.”

His words instantly reignited the tense atmosphere, and Leon’s expression darkened.

“Fine, let’s fight!” Leon snapped.

“Leon!” Nyla called out, her eyes flashing with anger. “You’ll join the experiment team.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“But, Nyla-” Leon started.

“Either do as I say or go back to Capitarnia,” 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. “I’m telling you, don’t push your luck!”

Brody shrank back under Sullivan’s cold stare and fell silent.

Nyla turned to Sullivan. “Sullivan, who do you think would be suitable to join the experiment team? We still need one more person.”

Sullivan replied with a smile, “Tina has a lot of experience with experiments. She can join the team.”

“Alright, thank you,” 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.
