Damon turned back to Nyla and said, "I'll walk you upstairs."
Nyla shook her head. "No need, it's already late. You should head back. Thanks for bringing us home."
With that, she stepped out of the car, carrying Mason.
Damon handed her the car keys, saying, "If anything comes up, feel free to reach out."
Nyla paused. That strange feeling she'd had at the hospital resurfaced. She vividly remembered how Damon's attitude toward her had shifted since he'd woken up.
It made her suspicious—could Damon have regained his memory?
Despite her suspicions, this wasn't the time to test him. She took the keys and nodded. "Okay, Mr. Sumner. Thank you for tonight."
Damon didn't say anything more. He watched as Nyla and Mason disappeared into the stairwell before driving away.
…
In the following days, after Nyla coordinated with Leon and Ruby, they began working on their project in Prospectus Technology's lab.
The project was a collaboration with Prospectus Technology's team to develop a treatment drug for heart disease.
Prospectus Technology had four researchers: two men, Brody Lamphere and Sullivan Heseltine, and two women, Tina Goff and Demi Minogue. Sullivan was the team leader.
With so many people involved, coordination proved challenging.
Brody and Leon specialized in testing, but one of them needed to join the experiment team since they only required one tester.
Brody crossed his arms, looking displeased. "I'm not good at experiments. Let Leon join the experiment team."
Leon frowned. He had already planned to join the experiment team, but Brody's attitude grated on him.
"I'm not great at experiments either, and you're not the team leader. Why should I listen to you?" Leon shot back.
Brody scowled. "Fine, but if you force me into the experiment team and I mess up, don't blame me if things go wrong."

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....
