Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1384

Andre's voice was cold. "What are you trying to say?"

"I know you hate me. I don't have much time left, so I'm not afraid of your revenge. But my daughter is innocent. I hope you'll stay away from her and stop deceiving her. You're only with her to get back at me, aren't you?" Emerald asked.

Andre let out a mocking laugh. "Even if you're dying, I won't let you off so easily."

Compassion had long since abandoned him—the day his family fell and his sister lost her life.

"Fine. If you want to expose me to the media or whatever else, I won't resist. Just stay away from my daughter," Emerald warned.

Andre shook his head. "No, I'll continue seeing Delia. Before you die, I want you to experience the pain I've endured all these years. So just sit back and watch, then leave this world with guilt and regret."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Emerald took a deep breath, her eyes turning cold.

She had planned to leave Andre alone, but since he refused to listen, she saw no reason to spare him any longer.

She would ensure that Andre never had another chance to hurt Delia before she died.

A chilling glint flashed in her eyes.

…

Over the next month, Nyla kept to herself.

Aside from picking up and dropping off Mason at school, she stayed home, either learning flower arranging or reading about pharmaceutical developments. She never mentioned Emerald before Damon, nor did she ask about her condition.

Damon had tried to bring it up several times, but Nyla would always change the subject.

He assumed there was still plenty of time to talk to her about it and persuade her to see Emerald so she wouldn't have any regrets.

However, a month later, he received an unexpected call from Alexander.

Alexander was quiet for a moment before asking, "Do you know something?"

"You should look into Andre's sister's death. It's connected to Ms. Kinsey," Damon hinted.

"Got it. Thanks for telling me," Alexander replied.

After ending the call, Damon set down his phone and headed upstairs to find Nyla.

When he entered the bedroom, he found her still asleep. Quietly, he walked to the bedside and sat down, gazing at her peaceful face.

When Emerald had taken Nyla away, he thought he'd never see her again. That was why he had no fondness for Emerald and never wanted anything to do with her.

No matter what, though, she was still Nyla's biological mother. Even though Nyla had said she never wanted to see Emerald again, today's news was something she needed to know.

Whether Nyla chose to go to Meristate was up to her.
