Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1302

The day Vik was locked up was the longest and most agonizing of his life. He no longer wanted to live in constant fear. If they kept fighting with Emerald, they could end up dead.

Mary looked at him. "Vik, do you really think Emerald will let us go? Do you think you can hide the truth about Brian's accident forever?"

Vik's face went pale, and his entire body trembled. "Mom... I don't know what to do. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm scared."

Mary stepped closer, placing her hands on his shoulders. "Vik, look at me."

At her commanding tone, Vik summoned the courage to lift his head.

"The only thing we can do now is fight Emerald and Brian," she said.

"If we succeed, you'll never have to worry about Brian finding out about the accident because I won't let him live. If we fail, then the outcome will be the same as if we hadn't fought at all."

She paused. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think carefully about whether you want to fight."

Vik swallowed hard. After a long silence, he spoke. "Okay, Mom, I'll fight for it."

Mary smiled with satisfaction. "That's my son."

Just then, Edward woke up.

Upon seeing Vik, his emotions flared, and his eyes burned with anger. "Vik, you caused Brian's accident and made him lose his leg! I won't let you get away with—"

Before he could say anything else, Mary slapped him across the face.

The sharp sound of the slap stunned both Edward and Vik. Neither of them had expected Mary to strike Edward.

"You dare hit me?!" Edward growled. "Mary, you're asking for it!"
