Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1192

"There's no need. My dad has no connection to the Kinseys anymore. Tell her to stay out of his life," Nyla said, hanging up.

On the other end, Alexander immediately dialed Emerald.

"What is it?" Her tone was cold and impatient.

"Aunt Emerald, did you go see Nyla's father?" Alexander asked.

"How did you know?" Emerald shot back.

"Nyla just called me. She said her father collapsed after seeing you and is still unconscious in the hospital," Alexander explained.

There was a brief silence before Emerald's voice returned, laced with sarcasm. "All I did was tell him I was taking Nyla to Meristate and bring up some past matters. If that was enough to make him collapse, then his mental fortitude is laughably weak."

Alexander sighed. "Aunt Emerald, you and her father have been divorced for so long. There's no reason to see him anymore. If something serious happens because of this, Nyla will definitely resent you."

He added, "Don't forget, she's lived with her father all these years. Her bond with him is much deeper than whatever she has with you."

Emerald scoffed. "Whether she resents me or not is none of my concern. I have no intention of catering to her."

"But you said you wanted to improve your relationship with her before you came here," Alexander retorted.

There was a long pause before Emerald finally spoke, her tone softening. "I got it. Don't worry. I won't see Harrison again."

With that, she hung up.

Alexander hesitated for a moment before calling his assistant to find out which hospital Harrison was in.

Shortly after, his assistant sent him the hospital's name and the specific ward Harrison was located in.

As Alexander stood up to change and visit Harrison, a thought struck him.

She quickly grasped his hand. "Dad, what is it?"

"Don't... Don't go to Meristate..." His voice was faint, but Nyla heard him clearly.

She lowered her gaze, speaking softly, "Dad, I already promised Mom I'd go. My flight's in a couple of days. Please don't worry. Just focus on getting better."

Harrison shook his head again, his voice growing urgent yet weak. "Don't go... She's lying to you..."

Emerald had no intention of letting Nyla inherit the Nixon family power. She had her own family now—her own children. To her, Nyla was nothing more than a tool to be used.

The Emerald he had once loved—the woman who had been willing to endure hardship by his side—was long gone.

Nyla tightened her grip on Harrison's hand. "Dad, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Get some rest. I'll make you some porridge later."

Upon seeing she wouldn't listen, tears welled in Harrison's eyes as he stared at her. "Nyla... if you go to Meristate... you'll only be walking into a trap..."
