Nyla felt pain coursing through every part of her body. It took her several minutes to catch her breath.
She leaned against the tree to stand up slowly, her face pale. Her clothes were torn from the thorns, leaving her looking ragged and disheveled.
As she looked up at the spot from which she had fallen, she bit her lip. Just as she was about to climb back up, she caught sight of a cave partially obscured by bushes.
The cave entrance was on a slope and mostly hidden by vegetation. If she hadn't been in the right position, she would have completely missed it. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to investigate.
Her foot had already twisted when she fell, and moving now sent sharp pain shooting through her. But she had no choice-she needed to see. Clutching the bushes, she slowly made her way toward the cave entrance.
As she approached, she noticed the bushes rustling.
Holding her breath and suppressing her racing heart, Nyla called softly into the cave, "Buddy... are you in there?"
The bushes shook again, and soon Mason's head peeked out. He looked stunned for a moment, disbelief in his eyes. "Mommy..."
Mason's hair was a mess, his face smeared with dirt and cuts from the thorns.
Nyla felt a pang of heartache and was about to rush over when an angry voice came from not far away.
"Bowen, look! That bitch is over there!" a guy shouted.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nyla quickly turned around to see two of the men who had kidnapped her and Mason running toward her, guns in hand.
"Buddy, stay inside and wait for Daddy. No matter what you see, don't make a sound!" Nyla whispered harshly before fleeing in the opposite direction. Bowen and Nick had only intended to check the bushes out of curiosity when they spotted Nyla. They forgot all about the cave as they ran after her.
With Nyla's injured foot, she was no match for them as they quickly closed in.

Bowen and Nick froze momentarily, then Bowen gritted his teeth and shouted, "Nick, grab her! If we can catch her, we can negotiate with Damon!" Nick quickly reacted, lunging for Nyla.
However, Nyla didn't give him the chance. She threw herself to the ground, rolling rapidly down the mountainside.
As Nyla tumbled, Damon felt as
though a hand had gripped his heart.
His eyes widened, and his mind went blank as he instinctively lunged toward her.
No one saw his movement clearly, but he was already beside Nyla.
Nyla stared at him in disbelief, her voice filled with panic. "Damon, are you crazy?!" Damon didn't answer. He simply held her tightly, trying to protect her from further harm. They rolled swiftly down the mountain, colliding with rocks and branches along the way.
Nyla felt as if her body were being pulled apart, unbearable pain radiating from every part of her.
Despite that, she knew that Damon,
who was holding her tightly, must be suffering even more. Content
Emotions swirled within her, almost drowning her. Tears streamed down her face.
Why was he being so foolish?
He had lost his memory, and she had been pushing him away all this time.
Why was he still risking everything to save her?
"Damon, why—" Before she could finish, Damon's head slammed into a protruding rock.
A wave of intense pain crashed over Damon.
Darkness enveloped him while familiar yet foreign scenes flashed through his mind...
