Chapter 190
When
Nyla returned home, she messaged HR to request a day off and slept until nearly noon. Upon checking her phone, she noticed several missed calls and a text message.

[Ms. Jayston, your medical report is ready. Our staff tried calling you but couldn’t reach you. You o either pick up a hard copy at the hospital’s medical office or call us back to receive an electronic version. Have a great day!]
Nyla immediately called the hospital to request an electronic copy of the report. As she opened it, her heart sank.
The result was devastating–she was indeed infertile.
Her
eyes filled with tears, not because of Clark, but because her dream of having her own child seemed impossible. She might never be able to become a mother.
Her phone slipped from her hand as she covered her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally calmed down.
Taking a deep breath, she washed her face and decided to visit another hospital for a second opinion soon. If the infertility was confirmed, she would have to accept it and plan her future accordingly.
After a quick bite, she went to work.
As Nyla parked her car and approached the elevator, she heard footsteps and Spencer’s voice.
“Mr. Sumner, here’s this afternoon’s schedule for you,” Spencer said.
Nyla turned slightly and met Damon’s dark eyes.
Sumner, Mr. Hogg,” she greeted.
Damon’s ze lingered briefly on Nyla’s red eyes and tired face before moving away.
“How are you feeling? If you haven’t fully recovered, you can take more time off,” he reminded her.
Noticing his cold demeanor, Nyla guessed that her words at the hospital had made an impact. At that moment, however, she was preoccupied with something else, so she didn’t focus on Damon’s attitude.
She lowered her gaze and said softly. “The wound has mostly healed, so staying at home isn’t necessary.”
Damon hummed in response and said nothing more.
Spencer, observing the chilly interaction, was surprised. Had they had a falling out?
The elevator arrived.
Nyla stepped inside. When she saw that Damon didn’t follow, she asked, “Mr. Sumner, aren’t you coming?”
Damon calmly replied, “I left a document in the car. You go ahead.”
“Okay,” Nyla said.

As the elevator doors closed, Spencer looked at Damon in confusion. “Mr. Sumner, what document? Should I go get it?”
Damon pressed the elevator button. “No need. It’s not an important document. I’ll get it next time.”
Spencer was about to mention that an extra trip would be troublesome, but he suddenly realized that Damon wasn’t missing any document–he was clearly avoiding Nyla.
He couldn’t understand why Damon’s attitude toward Nyla had changed so drastically. Was it because of the marriage discussion? If so, it made sense.
Damon had always been indifferent to marriage, rejecting all of Marie’s matchmaking efforts. He could be in a relationship, but he had no intention of marrying.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
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....
