N quickly asked Leon which hospital he was in and booked a ride to get there.


    When N arrived, Leon was already waiting at the entrance.


    “N, I’ll show you the way. Sullivan’s at Block 2,” Leon said.


    N nodded, following him to the inpatient wing. As they approached the building, she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks a few steps from the entrance.


    In front of her, entering the inpatient wing, was Damon, who had told her that morning he was going to thepany. There was no mistaking that back.


    Stunned, N stood there, her mind nk for a moment.


    Damon had lied to her–again.


    What on earth was in this hospital thatpelled him to lie time and again?


    Leon noticed that N had fallen behind and turned back. “N, you—”


    Before he could finish, N began walking quickly toward the inpatient building.


    He followed her, a bit taken aback. “N, there’s no need to rush. I know which room he’s in.”


    N looked at him, expressionless, and said, “Leon, I have something else to take care of. I’ll speak with Ruby when we’re back at work on Monday. You can go home first.”


    Before Leon could respond, she turned and left


    N trailed Damon silently until he entered an elevator. She watched the indicator to see which floors it stopped on, then took the next elevator up and checked each floor


    Finally, on the 12th floor, she saw Damon standing by a hospital room. He had his back against the door as he spoke to someone inside so he didn’t see her.


    Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to stay calm and waited for him toe out.


    However, just two minutester, a nurse walked by. “Miss, are you here to visit someone?” Her voice wasn’t quiet, and Damon heard it, turning to see N. His expression faltered, and he quickly walked toward her. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    When Damon moved, N caught a glimpse of who was in the hospital ward. Harrison was Jying in bed with a respirator. His eyes were shut, leaving it unclear whether he was


    sleeping or unconscious.


    N felt disbelief wash over her as she took in how emaciated Harrison looked. She stumbled back.


    The nurse was about to ask N again, since she wasn’t responding, when Damon approached.


    “Mr. Sumner, she’s been looking into the ward” the nurse informed him but was interrupted.


    “Got it. She’s my girlfriend,” Damon said.


    The nurse’s face registered surprise and a hint of disappointment. “Oh, I see… Well, I’ll leave you to it then.”


    She hurried away. Damon’s full attention was on N, so he didn’t notice anything off about the nurse.


    “N, please, let me exin…” he began.


    Without a word, N turned and left.


    Damon caught up to her at the elevator, stepping in front of her to stop her. “N, I didn’t mean to keep this from you.”


    N took a deep breath, finally looking up at him. “So, all those times you lied were just toe here to see him?”


    He nodded. “Yes.”


    N nodded back, silent as she stared at the elevator disy. When Damon reached for her hand, she pulled it away before he could touch her.
