If I hadn't said those things, your relationship with Nyla wouldn't be like this..." Harrison hung his head in silence, unsure of how to respond.
Outside the hospital, Nyla wiped the tears from her eyes, questioning her actions for the first time.
Why was everyone against her? Should she really give up? But when she thought of Cyrus and Clark's schemes against her, and what Cyrus had done to her family, she couldn't bring herself to let it go. There was no turning back now-she had to stay with Damon and use him to deal with the Sumners.

Upon seeing the mark of a slap on her cheek, his demeanor turned cold. "Who did this?" "No one. Don't ask. I'm tired and just want to rest,” she replied.
Damon frowned. Noting her pale face, he didn't press further but firmly guided her to the sofa and made her sit down. "Wait here." He entered the kitchen, and soon there was the sound of clinking and clattering. He returned shortly with a bag of ice.
As soon as the ice touched Nyla's face, she winced.
"If it hurts, letknow," Damon said.
"It's fine," Nyla replied.
Damon didn't say anything more, and the room fell silent. He watched Nyla closely.
If it had been someone from the Sumners who had hurt her, she would have told him. Thus, the incident must have involved her own family.

Damon removed the ice pack and replied, "I told you, don't keep saying thank you. We're a couple. If you're upset, you can tell me. I won't let anyone bully you."
A warmth spread through Nyla's chest, and her eyes grew a bit misty. "understand."
Seeing her struggle to hold back tears despite her attempt to stayn strong, Damon felt a pang of sympathy and pulled her into his embrace. "Did you have dinner?" he asked.
"I ate." Just as Nyla said that, her stomach growled loudly, betraying her.
Damon chuckled and said, “I'll make you a sandwich."
