The next few days passed uneventfully, and Nyla's tension eased a little.
Just after she and Mason finished dinner on Friday night, she suddenly received a call from Brandon.
"Aunt Nyla, can you bring Buddy to the hospital right now?" Brandon asked.
Nyla paused for a moment before speaking. "What happened?"
She wasn't particularly close with Brandon, so why would he suddenly ask her to come to the hospital? Could something have happened to Damon?
The thought made her heart skip a beat, and her face paled.
"My grandfather passed away late last night. The lawyer came today to read the will, and he said both you and Buddy need to be present," Brandon explained.
Nyla was shocked. She hadn't expected Richard to pass away so suddenly.
She asked again, "Didn't he seem to be in good health not long ago?"
Brandon sighed and spoke softly. "I'm not sure either. The doctor did say he was gradually recovering, but last night, he suddenly…
"Anyway, let's not dwell on that now. If you're available, could you please bring Buddy over? Grandpa must have left something for him."
Nyla frowned, feeling somewhat resistant. "Even if he left something for Buddy, we don't need it."
When Richard was alive, she never expected anything from him, let alone now that he was gone.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before Brandon's somewhat helpless voice came through again. "But if you don't come, the lawyer won't read the will. Everyone has to be present. Could you please come this one time?"
Remembering how Brandon had helped Valarie before, Nyla thought momentarily and eventually agreed, asking him for the hospital and room number.

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....
