When N finally returned to the sanctuary of her home, the weight of the world seemed to press down on her shoulders. She reached for her phone, fingers trembling slightly as she typed out a message to HR, requesting a day off. Exhaustion enveloped her like a heavy nket, and she sank into her bed, drifting into a deep sleep thatsted until the sun was well past its zenith.
As she stirred from her slumber, the soft glow of her phone screen caught her eye. Groggily, she reached for it, squinting at the number of missed calls that blinked back at her, alongside a text message that felt like a harbinger of bad news.
[Ms. Jayston, your medical report is ready. Our staff tried calling you but couldn’t reach you. You can 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!]
With a heart that raced in her chest, N quickly dialed the hospital, her voice shaky as she requested an electronic copy of her report. The moment the document opened on her screen, a cold dread settled in the pit of her stomach.
The results were nothing short of devastating—she was infertile.
Tears blurred her vision, not for rk or for any lost rtionship, but for the dreams of motherhood that now felt like a distant fantasy. The thought that she might never cradle her own child in her arms was a bitter pill to swallow.
In a moment of despair, her phone slipped from her grasp, ttering to the floor as she buried her face in her hands. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks, each drop a testament to her shattered hopes.
Time seemed to stretch endlessly as she sat there, lost in a whirlwind of emotions. Eventually, she found a semnce of calm. Taking a deep, shaky breath, she sshed cold water on her face, steeling herself for the next steps. She resolved to seek a second opinion at another hospital soon. If this grim reality was to be confirmed, she would have to face it head-on and map out a future that was now irrevocably altered.
After hastily preparing a light meal, she steeled herself for work, knowing that the routine might offer a distraction from her turbulent thoughts.
Arriving at the office, she parked her car and walked toward the elevator, the familiar sound of footsteps behind her drawing her attention. It was Spencer, his voice cutting through the air as he spoke to Damon.
“Mr. Sumner, here’s this afternoon’s schedule for you,” Spencer announced, handing over a document.
N turned slightly, her gaze locking with Damon’s dark eyes.
“Mr. Sumner, Mr. Hogg,” she greeted, her voice steady despite the storm brewing inside her.
Damon’s gaze lingered for a moment on her red-rimmed eyes and fatigued expression, but he quickly averted his gaze, as if the sight was too much for him to bear.
“How are you feeling? If you haven’t fully recovered, you can take more time off,” he offered, his tone cool and measured.
N sensed a chill in his demeanor, a distance that hadn’t been there before. Perhaps her words at the hospital had left a mark. Yet, her mind was too consumed with her own turmoil to dwell on Damon’s attitude.
She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper, “The wound has mostly healed, so staying at home isn’t necessary.”
Damon merely hummed in acknowledgment, the conversation dwindling to an ufortable silence.
Spencer, observing the icy exchange between them, felt a ripple of confusion. Had something transpired between them?
The elevator arrived with a soft ding, and N stepped inside, casting a nce back at Damon. When he didn’t follow, she felt a flicker of concern. “Mr. Sumner, aren’t youing?” she asked, her brow furrowing slightly.
Damon’s reply was calm, almost tooposed. “I left a document in the car. You go ahead.”
“Okay,” N responded, her voice trailing off as she entered the elevator alone.
As the doors slid shut, Spencer turned to Damon, bewildered. “Mr. Sumner, what document? Should I go get it?” he inquired, puzzled by the sudden change in routine.
Damon pressed the button for the ground floor, his expression unreadable. “No need. It’s not an important document. I’ll get it next time.”
Spencer opened his mouth to protest, to suggest that an extra trip would be inconvenient, but then it struck him—Damon wasn’t forgetting a document; he was deliberately avoiding N.
The shift in Damon’s attitude puzzled him. Was it the recent discussions about marriage that had caused this change? If that were the case, it made a certain kind of sense. Damon had always been indifferent to the idea of marriage, consistently rebuffing Marie’s attempts at matchmaking. He could date, but the thought of tying the knot was something he had no interest in.
Spencer felt a sense of relief wash over him; it seemed he no longer needed to fret about Damon’s feelings for N affecting thepany’s stock price.
When N entered theb, she was greeted by Melody, who was busy preparing solutions. Melody’s face lit up at the sight of her.
“N, you’re back?” she eximed, her excitement palpable.
N smiled faintly, nodding as she approached her friend. “Continue with what you’re doing. I’ll change into myb coat ande help.”
“Sure!” Melody chirped, her enthusiasm infectious.
After donning herb coat, N joined Melody at the workbench, reviewing the experiment log. A sense of satisfaction washed over her as she noted that Melody had followed her previous instructions diligently. Setting the log aside, she dove into the experiment, focusing on the task at hand.
Having missed N’s presence in theb, Melody was eager to engage her in conversation. “N, the news about you saving Mr. Sumner has spread around thepany. Now everyone’s saying that you and Mr. Sumner are dating.”
N paused, the weight of the rumor settling ufortably in her chest. She replied with a measured tone, devoid of emotion, “Don’t worry about those rumors. They’re not worth your attention.”Conclusion
