Chapter 228
Surprise flashed in Nyla’s eyes. Why would Damon suddenly invite her to dinner?
As she hesitated, another message from him appeared on her phone.
Damon: [I’ll be waiting in the parking lot at 6:30 p.m.]
It seemed he wasn’t giving her a chance to refuse.
Considering that he had helped persuade Richard to agree to her divorce from Clark, she felt she owed him a meal as a thank you.
Nyla replied with a simple “Okay“. She then put her phone away and focused on her experiment.
“Nyla, our recent experiments have been going really well. In a little while, we should be able to start testing on lab mice,” Melody said excitedly.
Nyla shook her head. “It’s not that simple. Before we move to trials, we need to go through countless experiments and trial and error to find the best solution. It can take years, even over a decade, for a drug to go from research to market.”
Melody looked shocked, momentarily pausing her work with the test tubes. “It takes that long?”
“Yes, and even during trials, there can be many unpredictable factors that require constant adjustments,” Nyla elaborated.
If one lacked patience, this line of work could be really tough. The early stages of experimentation were often filled with repeated failures, and it was difficult to pinpoint why things weren’t working. The daily repetition could be exhausting and monotonous.

experiment might wrap up in six months, not realizing it could take years. With her lively personality, such a slow–paced and demanding process was particularly challenging
Nyla tried to comfort her. “But don’t worry too much. Who knows? Maybe we’ll get incredibly lucky, and every experiment will succeed. In that case, we could move to trials pretty quickly.”
Knowing Nyla was trying to comfort her, Melody forced a smile and nodded.
Nyla didn’t say anything more. She knew that research could be tedious, and if Melody couldn’t stick it out, it might be better for her to find a different path sooner rather than later.

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....
