Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1078

"Nyla, I promise this won't happen again," Gabriel assured.

Nyla didn't respond. She simply took Mason's hand and walked away.

Gabriel and Wilhelm stood there for a moment before finally leaving, neither of them noticing the figure watching from the corner of the hospital lobby.

Brandon dialed Damon's number again. "Uncle Damon, you don't need to come. Aunt Nyla already left with Buddy.

"I asked around and found out that Buddy and Wilhelm fought at school this morning. Aunt Nyla and Gabriel were here to get them checked out, but they've already gone their separate ways."

There was a pause before Damon's cold voice came through the line. "Got it."

Then he hung up.

…

When Nyla brought Mason home, Lydia looked surprised to see him. "Ms. Kinsey, why isn't Mr. Mason at school?"

"He'll stay home with me today. Buddy, go wash your hands and change your clothes," Nyla said.

Mason nodded and ran upstairs.

Lydia didn't press further but mentioned, "Mr. Sumner called earlier to check if you'd gotten home. I told him you hadn't returned yet. Maybe you should call him back?"

Nyla paused. Damon rarely called just to ask about something so mundane.

Frowning, she said, "Okay, got it. Thank you. You can go back to your work."

After changing her shoes and sitting on the couch, she debated for a while before finally dialing Damon's number.

Damon picked up the call. "Yes?"

"Did you know I took Buddy to the hospital today?" Nyla asked directly.

There was a silence on the other end before he replied, "Yes."

"Who told you?" she asked.

"Brandon happened to be at the hospital and saw you with Buddy and Gabriel. He called to ask me about it." His tone was calm as if this were just an ordinary conversation.
