Ignoring Harrison’s reaction, Nyla turned and left without another word.
Behind her, Wren exclaimed, “Harrison, calm down. Take deep breaths. The doctor said you can’t get agitated!”
Nyla hesitated briefly but didn’t look back. She took a deep breath and walked straight out of the hospital room.
As she reached the hospital entrance, Gabriel caught up to her.
“Nyla…” He blocked her path. “Your father’s not in good health right now. He can’t handle stress. Please, try to understand.”
Nyla shot him a cold glance. “Understand him? Who’s going to understand me?”
She had risked her life to put Cyrus away, only for Harrison to undo it all.
To him, she probably no longer mattered. Before marrying Wren, he had promised to put her first. Now, it seemed Wren meant more to him than she ever had.
“I know you’re upset,” Gabriel said gently. “But your father did this to protect you. You can’t take on the Sumners by yourself. You’d only end up in danger.”
Nyla’s expression remained icy. “Whether there’s danger or not is my choice to make. No one else has the right to decide for me.”
Gabriel sighed. “One day, you’ll understand why your dad did what he did.”
“Save your breath until that day comes,” Nyla retorted.
She shoved him aside, opened her dar door, got in, and drove off
Gabriel frowned as he watched her car disappear into the distance.
Back in the hospital room, Harrison still hadn’t calmed down, his face twisted in anger.
Wren gently patted his back and glanced at Gabriel. “How did it go? Is Nyla still mad?”
“Alright, alright, calm down. If you pass out again, you’ll end up back in the ER,” Wren coaxed gently.

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....
