Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1363

"Yeah, I just got home. How's your mother doing now?" Valarie asked.

"Her condition is stable. Veevee… I need to ask you something," Stefan said.

A flicker of surprise crossed Valarie's eyes. "What is it?"

There was a brief silence before Stefan spoke again. "Never mind, it's nothing important. Get some rest. Goodnight."

Before Valarie could respond, he had already hung up.

She set her phone down, deciding to invite Stefan out for dinner in the next few days and have an honest conversation with him.

After the surgery, Michelle remained unconscious for a full day before finally waking up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jayden sitting by her bedside.

"Michelle! You're awake!" Jayden exclaimed, relief flooding his voice as he quickly pressed the call button for the doctor.

Once the doctor confirmed she was out of danger, Jayden exhaled deeply.

"Michelle, do you have any idea what I went through while you were unconscious? Please, don't ever do something so reckless again. Brandon isn't worth it!" he said.

With his help, Michelle slowly sat up, her face pale as she looked at him. "Did… Brandon not come to see me at all?"

Jayden's expression darkened. "I called him several times while you were in surgery. Not only did he refuse to come, but he was busy sweet-talking Valarie instead."

Michelle's gaze dimmed at that. She lowered her eyes to the blanket and said nothing.
