Lydia quickly brought the first-aid kit and said, "Ms. Kinsey, please go sit on the couch. Let me take care of your injury."
Nyla shook her head, looking gratefully at Lydia. "No need. I can do it myself."
"Let me help. It's not easy for you to do it alone," Lydia advised.
Seeing Lydia's insistence, Nyla finally nodded. "Alright, Lydia. I'll trouble you."
Nyla gently wiped the tears from Mason's face and said softly, "Buddy, don't cry anymore. Mommy is fine."
Mason sniffled, gripping the hem of Nyla's shirt tightly, his eyes filled with fear.
Nyla led Mason to the couch and sat down while Lydia quickly and skillfully tended to her wound.
As Lydia picked up the first-aid kit to leave, she noticed Damon still standing there with a stern expression.
Unable to hold back, she spoke up. "Mr. Sumner, I don't know what conflict you have with Ms. Kinsey, but it's not right to let her get hurt. You shouldn't fight, especially in front of Buddy. He's still young, and your constant arguing will affect him."
Damon glared at her. "Lydia, just stick to your job. I didn't bring you here to lecture me."
Feeling awkward, Lydia lowered her head and fell silent.
The living room descended into silence, and the atmosphere grew tense.
Just then, Brandon walked in through the door.
Noticing the unusual atmosphere, he raised an eyebrow and informed, "Uncle Damon, there are a few documents that need your signature."
"Go to the study," Damon replied, turning and walking straight to the study, with Brandon hurrying to keep up.
After signing the papers, Damon noticed Brandon hadn't left yet and looked at him coldly. "Is there anything else?"

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....
