After watching Nyla enter the apartment complex, Damon left.
On his way back to the company, he was deep in thought about how to ensure that Clark and Nyla would divorce smoothly.
Since Clark's legs were now disabled from saving Nyla, he might use this as leverage to keep her with him. Damon's gaze grew colder as he considered this possibility.
Meanwhile, in Cyrus' study…
"Make sure that driver keeps his mouth shut. If this leads back to me, I won't let you off!" he barked.
A man in his 30s, with his head lowered, stood before Cyrus' desk and replied, "Mr. Sumner, don't worry. He was dying anyway. He'll definitely keep quiet for the sake of his family."
Cyrus nodded, his eyes filled with calculation. "Good. Make sure the money for his family is in cash. Leave no evidence."
"Understood!" the man answered.
After his subordinate left, Cyrus leaned back in his chair with a cold smirk.
…
In the evening, Nyla arrived at the hospital with a thermos of soup, only to hear Clark's furious shouts from inside the room.
"Get out! I don't believe this! I can't be disabled! Get everyone out!"
The door to the room was flung open, and Cindy and Jordyn walked out with red, swollen eyes.
Upon seeing Nyla, Jordyn's eyes flashed with hatred.
Nyla looked down, her hands clenching involuntarily, her gaze filled with struggle.
With resignation, Clark continued. "You've always disliked me and wanted a divorce. Now that I'm disabled, I don't have the right to keep you with me, and I don't want to burden you. Once I'm a bit better, we'll go through with the divorce."
Nyla was silent for a moment before responding. "Alright."
Disbelief flickered in Clark's eyes at her response, and he gripped the bedclothes tightly. He hadn't expected that even after losing the use of his legs for Nyla, she still wanted a divorce.
"About the document you sent me earlier… Can you, for the sake of me saving you, not send it to the police?" Clark asked.
When Nyla looked up at him, he hesitated but added, "I know my father did some terrible things to the Jaystons, but he's still my biological father. I can't just let him go to prison."
Nyla opened the thermos and poured a bowl of chicken soup for Clark.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
