Chapter 759
The dining room fell silent.
After a long pause, Nyla finally asked, “Where is he now?”
“Do you want to see him?” Damon responded, his gaze fixed on Nyla’s face, determined not to miss any hint of
emotion.
Nyla looked away, her tone cold. “No. If he’s in the hospital, I can help pay his medical bills or find him a caretaker. If he’s living alone, I can hire a caregiver.”
“His biggest wish is probably just to see you again,” Damon suggested.
Nyla set down the bread and knife, pushed her chair back, and stood up. “I’m going out
ait for you.”
As she turned to leave, her eyes were reddened.
By the time Damon stepped out of the villa, Nyla had managed to calm herself, her expression returning to normal. Seeing him, she opened the car door and got in.
On the way to the office, Damon tried to start a conversation with Nyla several times but held back in response to her indifference.
It wasn’t until the car stopped in the underground parking and Nyla reached for the door to get out that he finally spoke. “Nyla, the doctor said your father might only have a year or two left.”
Nyla paused but didn’t turn around.
“That has nothing to do with me,” she replied.
Damon’s gaze darkened as he watched her walk away without looking back. It might take a while before she came to terms with this.
All day, whenever Nyla paused, she found herself reflecting on Damon’s words from that morning as she got out of the car.
Even Ruby noticed her distraction and asked if something was bothering her.
Nyla shook her head. “It’s nothing. Let’s wrap up the experiment.”
“Okay,” Ruby replied.
“Uncle Damon, I’ve thought about what you mentioned before. I’m waiting for you at your villa,” Brandon announced.
