Before Nyla could finish, Spencer stepped in front of her.
"Ms. Kinsey, Mr. Sumner just woke up. He mentioned that he doesn't want to see anyone right now and prefers to rest. Perhaps you could come back this evening or tomorrow?" Spencer suggested.
Nyla halted and looked at Spencer. "How is he right now?"
"The doctor has checked on him and said he's passed the critical phase. He just needs to rest," Spencer answered.
Hearing this, Nyla finally relaxed. "Alright, I'll come back with Buddy tonight."
In the ward, Damon heard Nyla's voice as soon as she reached the door.
His gaze instinctively turned toward the entrance, where her slender silhouette was faintly visible through the frosted glass. The emotions in his eyes grew increasingly complex.
While tumbling down the mountain with Nyla, he had hit his head against a rock. At that moment, memories had started flooding back.
Five years ago, he had wronged her, and five years later, he had wronged her even more.
Damon managed a wry smile filled with bitterness. As he thought about everything he had done and said to her upon their reunion, his heart clenched, causing a pain that felt almost suffocating.
How could he have treated the woman he loved so cruelly, even in his lost memory?
To think… she had given birth to their child all on her own.
He couldn't imagine how difficult her life must have been over the years, and he didn't dare to. Just the thought of it felt like a hole had opened in his chest, letting in a chilling draft that penetrated to his bones.
The footsteps outside gradually faded away until they vanished.
Damon closed his eyes. Now that Nyla had a new relationship, perhaps the best ending for both of them would be to forget the past entirely.
In the evening…

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....
