Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 

When Nyla woke up, she blinked at the white ceiling above her and took a moment to recall what had happened. 

“You’re awake! Do you feel any discomfort?” 

Nyla turned her head to see Damon, who looked worn out, standing by her bedside. She shook her head.” Aside from some pain in my abdomen, I’m fine. How long was I out?” 

“A full day,” Damon replied. 

Nyla frowned. “That long?” 

“Yes, the stab wound damaged your spleen,” Damon explained. 

The doctor had said that if the wound had been a centimeter deeper, Nyla could have bled out and might not have survived. 

The more than ten hours Damon had spent waiting outside the operating room had been the most agonizing of his life, each second stretching into eternity. 

Pale and weak, Nyla slowly sat up. “Did they catch the attacker?” 

Damon nodded, his voice icy. “Yes. He was the son of the owner of a rival company to Prospectus Technology. After their bankruptcy, he was pursued by creditors and chose to take revenge on me.” 

He lowered his gaze, concealing the fierceness in his eyes. Samuel would never see the light of day again. 

Nyla was about to speak when the door suddenly slammed open. 

Clark stormed in and glared at Damon with a murderous intensity. 

“Damon! Not only did you get Nyla hurt, but you also blocked the news, making me investigate for a whole day. Do you really think you can do whatever you want in Saintornia?” 

Nyla looked at Damon in shock. She had already found it strange that Clark, given his aversion to Damon, had allowed him to stay by her bedside. She hadn’t expected Damon to have blocked the news. 

Damon looked at Clark indifferently. “This is a hospital room. She just woke up and needs a quiet environment-” 

Before he could finish, Clark interrupted coldly, “What right do you have to say that? If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t be hurt!” 

Damon’s gaze dimmed. 

It was true that this incident was his fault. However, Nyla’s act of pushing him out of the way had confirmed something for him–she cared about him. 

Knowing that was enough. He would handle the rest. He would clear every obstacle between them, leaving her to simply wait for him. 

Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. Seeing it was Spencer, he walked to the balcony to answer

“What is it?” Damon asked. 

Spencer’s voice was grave. “Mr. Sumner, I’ve found out what you asked me to investigate. Ms. Jayston has been looking into the Harris Pharmaceuticals accident from six years ago. It seems your older brother is involved.” 

Damon’s grip on the phone tightened, his face darkening. 

He had been puzzled about why Nyla had returned to Clark. Spencer’s words provided the answer. She was investigating the Harris Pharmaceuticals accident. No wonder… 

If that accident was connected to Cyrus, then the Sumners were responsible for the Jaystons‘ bankruptcy. How could she be with him as if nothing had happened? 

Spencer asked after a moment of silence, “Mr. Sumner, should we stop Ms. Jayston from investigating?” 

One was the woman Damon cared about and who had just saved him, while the other was a Sumner. Just the thought of it gave Spencer a headache. 

Damon spoke in a low voice. “Find out everything about this incident. I want the full story in a week!” Ending the call, Damon pocketed his phone and returned to the room with an icy demeanor. 

Clark glared at him. “Uncle Damon, I’m Nyla’s husband. I’ll take care of her. You can pay for the medical expenses and leave.” 

“I won’t leave until she’s discharged,” Damon stated. 

Clark’s eyes flashed with sarcasm as he asked, “Staying here will only make things difficult for Nyla. Are you sure you want to force her?” 

“Is that a threat?” Damon questioned, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he regarded Clark. 

“You bet. If you don’t want everyone to know about your feelings for Nyla, you should leave,” Clark pressed. 

Damon raised an eyebrow. “It seems the Sumner Group doesn’t want to cooperate with Prospectus Technology anymore.” 

Clark smirked, his gaze filled with confidence. “Uncle Damon, if you end the partnership with the Sumner Group, everyone in Saintornia will know about your feelings for my wife by tomorrow.” 

Just as he finished speaking, he felt a massive pressure overwhelm him. 

“Do you think the media will choose to offend you or me?” Damon asked. 

Clark’s smile froze before he answered, “They wouldn’t dare offend you, but if Grandpa and Grandma found out, they’d be furious.”
