"There's no need. My dad has no connection to the Kinseys anymore. Tell her to stay out of his life," Nyla said, hanging up.
On the other end, Alexander immediately dialed Emerald.
"What is it?" Her tone was cold and impatient.
"Aunt Emerald, did you go see Nyla's father?" Alexander asked.
"How did you know?" Emerald shot back.
"Nyla just called me. She said her father collapsed after seeing you and is still unconscious in the hospital," Alexander explained.
There was a brief silence before Emerald's voice returned, laced with sarcasm. "All I did was tell him I was taking Nyla to Meristate and bring up some past matters. If that was enough to make him collapse, then his mental fortitude is laughably weak."
Alexander sighed. "Aunt Emerald, you and her father have been divorced for so long. There's no reason to see him anymore. If something serious happens because of this, Nyla will definitely resent you."
He added, "Don't forget, she's lived with her father all these years. Her bond with him is much deeper than whatever she has with you."
Emerald scoffed. "Whether she resents me or not is none of my concern. I have no intention of catering to her."
"But you said you wanted to improve your relationship with her before you came here," Alexander retorted.
There was a long pause before Emerald finally spoke, her tone softening. "I got it. Don't worry. I won't see Harrison again."
With that, she hung up.
Alexander hesitated for a moment before calling his assistant to find out which hospital Harrison was in.
Shortly after, his assistant sent him the hospital's name and the specific ward Harrison was located in.
As Alexander stood up to change and visit Harrison, a thought struck him.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
