Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

“Of course not… but how can I trust your words?” Harrison asked.

He looked coldly at Damon, his eyes filled with anticipation and doubt. After all, when Nyla had fallen into the sea, the chances of survival were slim. He hadn’t held out hope for her being alive over the past five years.

Damon took out his phone, navigated to the album, and held the screen out for Harrison to see.

Harrison’s eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, “Nyla… It really is Nyla! She’s alive! Where is she now?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. She’s doing well, but I haven’t mentioned you to her yet. Once you’re feeling better and can stand, I’ll bring her to see you,” Damon said.

“Really?” Harrison asked, his gaze hopeful. But it quickly turned to guilt and regret. “She probably… doesn’t want to see me again…”

The last time he and Nyla had met had not been pleasant. She had completely cut ties with him and stopped visiting him since then.

He had regretted it long ago and had wanted to call her to apologize multiple times, but Wren had advised against it. She had told him he had done everything for Nyla’s sake, and that one day Nyla would understand his intentions.

At that time, he had been foolish enough to believe Wren’s words. In hindsight, Nyla wasn’t Wren’s biological daughter. How could she genuinely care about whether Nyla would be hurt?

All in all, Harrison still blamed himself for being a negligent father. He had let Nyla down, as well as her mother.

Damon showed no emotion regarding Harrison’s regret as he said, “She really doesn’t want to see you. After she returned to Saintornia, she didn’t even think about looking for any news about you.”

Harrison’s gaze dimmed, and he smiled bitterly. “She has every right to feel that way… It’s my punishment…”

His eyes turned red, and his wrinkled face was etched with sorrow.

“Regardless, what’s in the past is in the past. You should focus on getting better. We’ll talk about everything else later,” Damon reassured him.

“Okay…” Harrison agreed.

As Damon turned to leave, Harrison’s weak voice called out from behind him, tinged with a hint of desperation. Can you… come by occasionally to tell me how Nyla has been these past few years?”
