The reason the Updikes had called the police was that Valarie had seriously injured Zayn, and he was now in the emergency room, fighting for his life.
Hearing this, Nyla felt a surge of anger. Someone like Zayn deserved it. She glanced at Brandon, who was lost in thought, and said softly, "Got it."
"Thank you, Aunt Nyla," Brandon replied.
Nyla walked to the hospital room door and knocked gently. "Valarie, it's me. May I come in?"
There was no response. Just as she was about to ask again, a faint voice replied, "Come in."
With a sigh of relief, Nyla pushed open the door.
Inside the room, all the lights were on.
Valarie sat huddled on the hospital bed. Her small, frail figure was bathed in the harsh light, making her look even more lonely and lifeless.
Nyla's heart clenched as she slowly approached the bed and took a seat.
Valarie was hugging her knees, staring blankly into a corner of the room, lost in thought.
Gently, Nyla reached out and patted her on the back. "Valarie, it's over now. No one can hurt you again."
In the next moment, Valarie wrapped her arms around Nyla, trembling uncontrollably.
Feeling the warmth of tears falling onto her shoulder, Nyla murmured, "Don't worry. I promise I'll make sure you get justice."
Valarie remained silent, clinging to Nyla even tighter. She had almost been ruined by that monster, Zayn.
As Valarie cried quietly, Nyla just held her, softly patting her back. Once Valarie had calmed down, Nyla gently let go and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.

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....
