N had arranged for them to go abroad with their safety in mind.
She wouldn’t let Cyrus off, and once Damon learned she had been using him, he wouldn’t protect her anymore. She wouldn’t have the energy to properly arrange for them by then.
Wren looked helpless. “It’s not that I don’t want to go abroad, but your father is worried about you. He refuses to go overseas, no matter what.”
After a moment of silence, N said firmly, “I’ll go to the hospital tonight and persuade him myself.”
Wren’s gaze was evasive. “Your father is still upset with you. It might be better to wait a few days. I’m worried that if you go tonight, you two might end up arguing again.”
“I need to go, even if it means arguing. Wren, I have work to doter, so I’ll head back to the office now.” With that, N stood up and left.
When Damon found out that N was going to the hospital that evening, he offered to apany her.
Her first instinct was to refuse. Her father was already unhappy about her rtionship with Damon, and bringing Damon along would only provoke him further.
“Maybe you should wait a little longer?” N suggested.
Damon looked displeased. “How long is a little longer?”
It was one thing for her to avoid him at the office, but now she didn’t want him to meet her family, which clearly showed she wasn’t nning for a future with him.
“My dad is still angry about us being together. We should at least wait until he’s not so upset,” N tried.
“No. Since he already knows and is upset, he’ll think I’m not sincere and don’t genuinely want to be with you if I keep hiding,” Damon insisted.
N sighed. Did she need to mention her father hoped that Damon would stay away?
Seeing Damon’s determined gaze, N hesitated but eventually nodded. “Alright, but be prepared for him to ask you to leave.”
As soon as N and Damon entered the hospital room that evening, Harrison’s expression hardened. His demeanor was icy.
“Mr. Sumner, you’re not wee here. Please leave!” he bellowed.
N sighed inwardly–this was exactly what she had anticipated.
She turned to Damon, intending to ask him to wait outside, but he didn’t even nce at her. Instead, he

N frowned. “Wren, you agreed to this yesterday. Why are you suddenly changing your mind?”

addressed Harrison directly, “Mr. Jayston, I know you’re not fond of me, and I understand that my rtionship with N angers you. But I am sincere about her.”
Harrison sneered. “Sincere? What’s sincerity worth from the Sumners? A few years ago, rk said the same thing to me, and look what happened–he ended up cheating. Just leave! The Sumners are too good for N!”
N frowned, fearing that Harrison might say something to further provoke Damon. She was about to speak when Harrison turned his cold gaze on her.
“You can leave too. I don’t want to <b>see </b>you until you’ve sorted out your rtionship with him!” he scolded.
“Dad…” N began.
Damon gently lowered his gaze to her and said softly, “I’d like to speak with your father alone. Please wait outside.”
“No!” N protested.
She was concerned that Harrison might say even harsher things to Damon if she left.
Harrison looked at Damon with anger and disdain.
“Fine. Wren, take N out. I want to hear what he has to say,” he ordered.
Wren hesitated for a moment before moving to N’s side.
“N, let’s step outside and wait,” she urged.
