Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766 

The identity of the man who had attempted to drug and abduct her remained unknown. He could be lurking nearby, ready to strike again at any moment. 

Ruby knew that if she was taken back, escape would be impossible. 

The more she dwelled on it, the deeper her fear grew. She absolutely could not be captured again. 

Suddenly, the office door swung open, and the sound of footsteps startled her. She turned around, and the panic in her expression caught Sullivan off guard. 

“Ruby, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?” he asked. 

Meeting his concerned gaze, Ruby lowered her head, grabbed her bag, and headed toward the exit. “It’s nothing, Sullivan. I’m going home now. If you need anything work–related, let’s talk tomorrow. I’m locking up.” 

Sullivan followed her out, saying, “I came to check on you. You were really shaken the other day, and that guy who tried to drug you still hasn’t been caught. I’ll drive you to and from work for now.‘ 

Ruby hesitated, a mix of emotions washing over her. 

After a moment’s silence, she finally declined, “Sullivan, I appreciate your kindness, but I can manage on my own.” 

Seeing her stubbornness, Sullivan sighed. “Ruby, do you think I’m trying to get close to you for some ulterior motive?” 

Ruby pressed her lips together and looked up at him. “Sullivan, you’re overthinking it. I just don’t want to owe you anything.” 

“Honestly, when I help you, I’m also helping a part of myself that used to be just like you,” Sullivan confessed. 

Ruby didn’t fully understand. She looked up to ask, but his serious expression gave her 

pause. 

“I used to be in a similar situation, held hostage by my parents‘ expectations to send all my earnings back home,” he began. 

Ruby frowned, tempted to interrupt, but seeing the sadness in his eyes, she held back. 

“If it weren’t for my older brother’s health issues, my parents wouldn’t have had me. From a young age, they drilled into me that I had to take care of him and use all my money for his medical bills. At first, I felt sorry for him and promised to work hard to support his treatment,” Sullivan explained.
