Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1288

Before Mary could respond, the door to the hospital room opened suddenly, and Vik hurried in.

His face lit up with joy when he saw that Edward was awake, and he rushed to the bedside. "Dad, you're finally awake!"

Edward patted his shoulder. "Yes, both of you have been through a lot."

Vik shook his head. "It's not hard. For us, the best thing is that you woke up."

Edward had only just regained consciousness and was still far from fully recovered. After a brief conversation with them, he grew tired.

Seeing his exhaustion, Mary urged him to rest and went to the kitchen to prepare food for him.

Not long after, Vik followed her into the kitchen. "Mom, I need to talk to you about something."

Mary, washing vegetables, glanced over. "What is it?"

"I might have to leave for a while," Vik said quietly.

Mary froze for a moment, then turned to him, her confusion clear. "Why? Your father just woke up, and now that no one will bother us. Why would you leave at this moment?"

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Vik hesitated before finally admitting that he had been involved in causing Brian's car accident.

Mary stared at him in disbelief. "You did what? Are you out of your mind? If Emerald finds out, she will definitely kill you!"

"Mom, keep your voice down. Don't let Dad hear," Vik warned, his tone urgent.

Mary took a deep breath, struggling to suppress her anger. "Why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand?"
