When Clark arrived, Nyla had only just woken up. Due to a mild concussion, she felt dizzy and nauseous as soon as she opened her eyes, so she kept them shut while lying down.
Sensing someone sitting beside her hospital bed, she thought it was Valarie returning with medicine.
“Valarie, I feel awful. I think I’m going to be sick…”
Seeing Nyla’s furrowed brows and her pale face covered in cold sweat, Clark was heartbroken. He quickly grabbed a tissue from the nearby table and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
As Clark came closer, Nyla caught a whiff of his cologne and suddenly opened her eyes wide. When she saw that it was indeed Clark, she turned her head away and said with disgust, “Don’t touch me.”
Her resistance was clear in her eyes. Clark’s hand froze in midair before he withdrew it and sat down. “Fine, I won’t touch you. Just let me know if you need anything.”
Nyla was feeling so uncomfortable at the moment that she didn’t bother trying to get Clark to leave. She simply closed her eyes as if he didn’t exist.
Valarie then returned with the medicine. Upon seeing Clark, she raised an eyebrow before she smirked. Mr. Sumner, you came to see Nyla. Aren’t you afraid your lover will get jealous?”
Ever since Nyla had told Valarie about Clark’s affair, Valarie had seen him attending numerous business events with Jordyn, who always posed as his secretary. A few times, unable to stand Jordyn’s hypocrisy, Valarie had taunted her, only to be warned by Clark not to provoke Jordyn.
Thinking of how Nyla had loved such a scoundrel for eight years made Valarie furious.
Clark’s displeasure flashed in his eyes. His voice was deep as he said, “I am Nyla’s husband. It’s only right, for me to take care of her. As for you, Ms. Weir, if you have nothing else to do, you may l J.”
Valarie’s expression turned mocking. “You don’t seem to have the authority to command me, and I’m not comfortable leaving Nyla with you.”
The two locked eyes, a cold tension filling the air, almost like an electric current passing between them.
Their
staring contest was interrupted by Nyla’s cough, prompting Valarie to quickly walk to the bedside. and speak gently. “Nyla, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
“Yeah, I want some water.”

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....
