Chapter 43
“Mr. Sumner!”
Genevieve stared in panic at Damon’s back. If anything happened to him in the lab, her position as the head of the R&D department would be in jeopardy.
Nyla quickly backed away, raising her hand to shield her face. Some of the liquid sprayed directly onto her hands, causing quick burns that left black scars, the pain almost making her cry out.
Suddenly, a suit jacket covered her head, and her wrist was firmly grasped. Through the gap in the clothing, she saw the distinct knuckles of the hand holding hers, dry and warm against her skin.
In a daze, before Nyla could react, the person had already pulled her to the nearby sink, turning on the faucet and rinsing the areas of her hands burned by the concentrated sulfuric acid-
It wasn’t until the water flowed over the back of her hands that she snapped back to reality, quickly pulling the suit jacket off her head and withdrawing her hands from Damon’s grasp.
“Mr. Sumner… I can handle this myself…” She lowered her gaze, ignoring the strange emotions that had just surged within her. Damon was Clark’s uncle, so his help earlier was likely due to his relationship with Clark.
After Nyla rinsed her hands for a while, the burning sensation finally subsided. She turned off the water and glanced around the messy lab, subconsciously biting her lip.
“Mr. Sumner, let’s go out first.”
The two walked out of the lab, and Nyla was about to return the jacket to Damon when she met his icy gaze. She tightened her grip on the jacket, feeling that Damon was furious–and the object of his anger.. was her…
She understood it. No investor would be pleased to see their investment project encounter such difficulties.
Genevieve hurried over, relieved that Damon was unharmed, then turned to Nyla with a frown. “Nyla, what exactly happened? How did the explosion happen suddenly?”
Nyla was about to speak when Damon interrupted in a deep voice. “Let’s go to the hospital first.”
Genevieve widened her eyes in panic. She quickly looked at Damon. “Mr. Sumner, are you injured?!”
“Not me, her.”
“I’m fine. I can go to the hospital later. Genevieve, I added the dilute sulfuric acid required for today’s experiment earlier, When I added it, I felt something was wrong. Someone must have switched it with.

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....
