"Sure," Nyla replied.
After Alexander left, she turned to Damon. "We really will make it back together, right?"
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Damon pulled her into his arms. "Yes. I promise. Trust me."
She didn't say anything more, simply resting against his chest. Deep down, however, unease still lingered.
…
Three more days passed, and George still hadn't found Nyla.
Meanwhile, unrest within the Nixons was worsening. More and more people began openly opposing Emerald, demanding a new leader.
Emerald was exhausted and overwhelmed.
The stress took a toll on her body—she collapsed and was rushed to the hospital again.
When she woke up, the doctor warned her that she couldn't keep pushing herself like this, or her health would suffer serious consequences.
"I understand," Emerald said flatly. "I'd like to be alone now."
Sighing, the doctor left the room.
Emerald stared out the window, her gaze distant.
For years, she had fought relentlessly to become the head of the Nixons.
But after everything—her son had lost a leg, one daughter hated her, and the other refused to obey her—now, the family she had fought so hard to control was slipping from her grasp.
Had she made the wrong choices from the very beginning?
When Filipe arrived, he found Emerald still gazing out the window, lost in thought.
Sighing, he walked over and quietly shut the window.
"Madam, you need to take care of yourself," he advised.

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....
