When
N returned home, she messaged HR to request a day off and slept until nearly noon. Upon checking her phone, she noticed several missed calls and a text message.

[Ms. Jayston, your medical report is ready. Our staff tried calling you but couldn’t reach you. You o either pick up a hard copy at the hospital’s medical office or call us back to receive an electronic version. Have a great day!]
N immediately called the hospital to request an electronic copy of the report. As she opened it, her heart sank.
The result was devastating–she was indeed infertile.
Her
eyes filled with tears, not because of rk, but because her dream of having her own child seemed impossible. She might never be able to be a mother.
Her phone slipped from her hand as she covered her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally calmed down.
Taking a deep breath, she washed her face and decided to visit another hospital for a second opinion soon. If the infertility was confirmed, she would have to ept it and n her future ordingly.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
After a quick bite, she went to work.
As N parked her car and approached the elevator, she heard footsteps and Spencer’s voice.
“Mr. Sumner, here’s this afternoon’s schedule for you,” Spencer said.
N turned slightly and met Damon’s dark eyes.
Sumner, Mr. Hogg,” she greeted.
Damon’s ze lingered briefly on N’s red eyes and tired face before moving away.
“How are you feeling? If you haven’t fully recovered, you can take more time off,” he reminded her.
Noticing his cold demeanor, N guessed that her words at the hospital had made an impact. At that moment, however, she was preupied with something else, so she didn’t focus on Damon’s attitude.
She lowered her gaze <b>and </b>said softly. “The wound has mostly healed, so staying at home isn’t necessary.”
Damon hummed in response and said nothing more.
Spencer, observing the chilly interaction, was surprised. Had they had a falling out?
The elevator arrived.
N stepped inside. When she saw that Damon didn’t follow, she asked, “Mr. Sumner, aren’t youing?”
Damon calmly replied, “I left a document in the car. You go ahead<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“Okay,” N said.
As the elevator doors closed, Spencer looked at Damon in confusion. “Mr. Sumner, what document? Should I go get it?<b>” </b>
Damon pressed the elevator button. “No need. It’s not an important document. I’ll get it next time.”
Spencer was about to mention that an extra trip would be troublesome, but he suddenly realized that Damon wasn’t missing any document–he was clearly avoiding N.
He couldn’t understand why Damon’s attitude toward N had changed so drastically. Was it because of the marriage discussion? If so, it made sense.
Damon had always been indifferent to marriage, rejecting all of Marie’s matchmaking efforts. He could be in a rtionship, but he had no intention of marrying.
It seemed Spencer no longer needed to worry about Damon’s interest in his niece–inw affecting thepany’s stock price.
When N entered theb, Melody, who was preparing solutions, brightened up upon seeing her.
“N, you’re back?” she asked.
N nodded and approached her. “Continue with what you’re doing. I’ll change into myb coat ande help.”
“Sure!” Melody chirped.
After putting on herb coat, N joined Melody and reviewed the experiment log. Satisfied that Melody was following her previous instructions<b>, </b>she set the log aside and began working on the experiment.
Having not seen N for a while and being alone in theb, Melody was eager to chat. “N, the news about you saving Mr. Sumner has spread around thepany. Now everyone’s saying that you and Mr. Sumner are dating.”
