Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 247

The corridor fell silent. Even the drop of a needle would have been audible.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the emergency room door finally swung open.

Cindy rushed forward to intercept the doctor. "Doctor, how is my son?"

"There's no immediate danger to his life, but he may never be able to walk again. Please be prepared for that," the doctor replied.

"What?" Cindy staggered back, her eyes wide with disbelief and fear. She grabbed the doctor's hand desperately. "Doctor, he's my only son. You have to save him!"

If Clark were to become disabled, he'd lose any chance of inheriting the Sumner Group. Richard would never hand over the company to someone unable to walk.

The doctor pushed her hand away and shook his head. "I've done all I can. The patient will be moved to a regular ward soon. You can visit him there."

Cindy spun around to face Nyla and charged at her. "Nyla, you wretched woman! You've done this to my son. I won't let you get away with it!"

Before she could reach Nyla, Damon stepped in and blocked her path. He stood between them, preventing any harm from coming to Nyla.

Cindy was so agitated that she lashed out at Damon, trying to slap him.

Cyrus' face turned pale as he quickly grabbed her.

"Are you out of your mind?" Cyrus demanded.

Cindy shook him off, her eyes red. "Yes, I'm mad! My son is crippled, and I can't even vent my frustration? It's all Nyla's fault. I should never have let her marry Clark. I regret it so much!"

She collapsed onto the floor, tears streaming down her face. She cried and pounded her chest like a mad woman. Clark was her only child, her last hope for the future. Seeing him turned into a cripple was more painful than death.

Cyrus grabbed her and pulled her up, his voice stern. "Go see Clark in the ward first. We'll deal with the leg issue later."
