"Only what you can actually get is truly important. Do you understand? There are so many injustices in this world. Not everyone receives an apology or justice. Justice doesn't align with the truth—it aligns with power," Clark said.
Nyla looked at him with cold eyes and replied, "So, according to you, I should just accept your so-called compensation as if it were charity and act like nothing ever happened?"
"I hope you understand what's most important for you right now. Be realistic. Pursuing fairness has little real meaning," Clark elaborated.
Nyla took a deep breath. "As long as I believe it's meaningful, that's enough."
Upon seeing her firm expression, Clark's gaze darkened. "So you're determined to hand over that evidence to the police, no matter what?"
"I said I need time to think," Nyla insisted.
Finally, the last trace of warmth left Clark's eyes. He looked at Nyla with a blank expression and said, "Understood. You can go now."
Seeing him like this made Nyla feel uneasy.
"Take care of yourself. If you really can't stand up in the future, I will stay by your side and take care of you," she said.
Clark didn't say anything, his expression as cold as ever.
Nyla said nothing more and left the room.
Once she got into the car, she thought for a while and decided to call Valarie to meet.
In the ward…
Clark stared out the window for a while before picking up his phone to call Cyrus. "Dad, let's proceed with what you suggested."
After finishing the call, he hung up quickly, fearing he would regret it if he waited even a second longer.
From this incident, he had already seen that Nyla had no feelings for him. He wouldn't hesitate any longer.
Jordyn walked into the ward and noticed Clark's gloomy expression. She paused momentarily.
"Clark… What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Ms. Jayston?" she asked.

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....
