Ruby's eyes instantly dimmed as she bit her lip, unsure how to respond.
After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Nyla, I know you're trying to help me, but I really can't. I need this extra income to make ends meet."
Nyla sighed, her tone softening. "I understand your situation, but you also need to think about your future. If you fall behind on your experiments because you're out making deliveries, that will be a real shame."
Ruby's eyes turned slightly red as she looked down, her voice trembling. "I'll try my best to balance my work with making deliveries. I won't let it affect the experiments."
Nyla gently patted Ruby's shoulder and handed her a bank card. "Since you don't want to talk about your troubles, I won't pry. This money should get you through to next month. If it's not enough, come back and let me know. Try to avoid running deliveries for now."
Ruby tried to decline. "No… Nyla, you've already helped me so much. I can't—"
Before she could finish, Nyla firmly pressed the card into her hand. "Just take it. The password is six zeros. This tough time will pass."
Ruby felt a wave of gratitude wash over her, tears blurring her vision. "Thank you! I promise I'll pay you back!"
Nyla wiped away Ruby's tears, dismissing her worries. "Alright, let's get back to work now."
"Okay," Ruby answered.
As Ruby glanced down at the bank card in her hand, it felt as heavy as a mountain. She was determined not to let Nyla's kindness go to waste.
Ruby resolved to escape the clutches of her family for good!

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
