Chapter 56
Sasha couldn’t help but speculate. Normal people would run from danger, but Damon had run toward it to protect Nyla.
Nyla was taken aback, then frowned. “You’re overthinking it. He’s my uncle.”
“What?!” Sasha’s voice shot up, drawing the attention of everyone in the R&D department. Her face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.
She whispered, “Are you serious? You don’t even share the same last name. Are you lying to me?”
“Why would I lie? I can’t go into details, but nothing could happen between us. He doesn’t like me that way.
Despite Sasha’s lingering doubts, she could only nod at Nyla’s confident assurance. “Alright then.”
“Stop gossiping and get to work,” Nyla said as she turned on her computer to read some research papers.
The morning passed quickly. Just before noon, Nyla received a call from Wren.
“Wren, what’s up? Is there something wrong with my dad?”
Wren’s gentle voice came through the line. “No, he’s stable. Do you have time for lunch today? Let’s meet up.”
“My office is quite far from the hospital, How about dinner instead?”
“Sure, you decide.”
After hanging up, Nyla felt a bit puzzled about Wren’s sudden invitation.
That evening, Nyla arrived at the restaurant. As she waited for Wren, she noticed a familiar car pull up to the entrance. The back door opened, and a woman stepped out.
In an instant, Nyla recognized Jordyn.
Jordyn wore a red strapless gown, her long wavy hair cascading down her back, and her makeup was impeccable. She exuded a charm that could captivate any man.
Wren nodded, her expression gentle. “I heard you and Clark had a fight. I haven’t had a chance to ask you because of your father’s situation. How are things between you two now?”

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....
