Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1276

Darcy hung up.

Emerald's face darkened with fury. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she turned and walked toward Brian's hospital room.

George was standing guard outside, looking almost as bad as Brian himself.

As Emerald approached, she took in the sight of his injuries—his face and body covered in wounds. Though bandaged, blood still seeped through the gauze, making for a horrifying scene.

"George, what happened? Why did the accident occur?" she asked.

George's face was pale, his voice grim. "Ms. Kinsey, I don't think Mr. Nixon's accident was just an accident. I believe someone orchestrated it."

Emerald's expression turned ice-cold. "Do you have any proof?"

George shook his head. "No, just a gut feeling. The driver who hit us seemed to know Mr. Nixon was in the back seat. He deliberately rammed into the rear of the car. That's why the driver and I only suffered minor injuries, while Mr. Nixon's condition was severe enough to require amputation."

Emerald tightened her grip on her phone. She stared at George, her tone firm. "I understand. I'll look into this. You're injured too—go get some rest. We're heading back first thing in the morning."

George looked surprised. "What about Mr. Nixon?"

"The doctor said the surgery was successful. He should be stable enough to be transported back for further treatment. Besides, if we don't go back now, the Nixons will descend into chaos," Emerald replied.

Thinking about how Darcy had kidnapped Delia and Nyla in her absence, she could barely contain her fury.

This time, when she returned, she would make sure Darcy learned exactly who the real leader of the Nixons was.
