Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 352

Rebecca smiled bitterly. "I've got less than three months left. There's no point in fighting over these things. After three months, I'll give Damon back to her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nathaniel grabbed her hand and said seriously, "Rebecca, don't talk like that. Damon has already invested in Caroline's research lab, and the drug is close to being developed. You're going to be okay!"

Rebecca's gaze was wry. "The drug is still in the trial phase. No one can be sure if it will work, and there might be side effects."

Seeing her so pessimistic, Nathaniel felt a pang in his heart, his eyes instantly filling with pain.

"Rebecca, you used to be so optimistic. Now you've become so negative, which isn't like you. You should be strong and resilient, never letting anything get you down. And I believe that drug will work!" he encouraged.

Rebecca lowered her eyes and said softly, "I want to be strong, but I just can't. Besides... Damon doesn't love me anymore. He only agreed to get back together with me out of guilt. Even if I get better, he won't fall back in love with me. Surviving wouldn't mean much."

Nathaniel's gaze turned cold. He looked at her and said slowly, "As long as you get better, I'll help you. I won't let anyone stand in the way of you and Damon being together!"

By "anyone", he clearly meant Nyla.

A strange look flashed in Rebecca's eyes at Nathaniel's ruthless gaze. She asked softly, "Really?"

"Really," Nathaniel assured.

If Nyla tried to stop Rebecca from being with Damon, he wouldn't hesitate to deal with her.

"Thank you, Nathaniel!" Rebecca threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, her body trembling slightly with emotion.

Nathaniel stiffened. It took him a long time to finally raise his hand and gently pat her back. As he felt Rebecca's soft body pressed against him, his heart was filled with both sweetness and pain.

He wanted to hold her but couldn't. It was all because she was his best friend's girlfriend, and... she didn't love him.
