Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 14

Nyla's face turned pale as she snatched the phone back from Clark's hand. "I'll head there right away!"

Clark grabbed her hand. "I'll go with you."

Without giving Nyla a chance to refuse, he pulled her along toward the door.

Nyla tried to shake off his grip but failed, frowning in frustration. "Let go of me. I can go by myself."

Clark looked back at her with a hint of helplessness. "Nyla, your father's health is at stake right now. Let's put aside our argument for later, okay?"

Nyla had wanted to point out that their situation wasn't just a simple argument, but her father's condition was more pressing. She didn't have the energy to argue with him either. They rushed to the emergency room, where they saw Wren Hackett anxiously waiting on a bench in the corridor, her eyes red.

Nyla hurried over. "Wren, what happened? Wasn't Dad's condition stable all this time? Why did he suddenly collapse?" The doctors had previously assured them that as long as Harrison avoided stress, his condition would remain stable.

Wren couldn't hold back her tears once she saw Nyla. It took her a while before she could speak. "I don't know... Clement and his daughter came to visit your father this evening. "After they left, your father remained silent. When I asked if something had happened, he didn't respond. Then suddenly he started coughing up blood and passed out..." Nyla's expression turned icy cold.

The Pollards had quickly distanced themselves from the Jaystons after the bankruptcy of Harris Pharmaceuticals. They hadn't visited Harrison in years, so their sudden appearance today clearly wasn't for good intentions.

After comforting Wren and seeing her calm down, Nyla stood up and went to the stairwell, calling Lucia directly. "Lucia, what did your father and you say to my father today at the hospital?" There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone, followed by Lucia's nonchalant voice. "Nyla, my father and I visited your father and reminisced about the past. What's the matter?"

Her casual tone sparked anger in Nyla. "What did my father do to wrong your family? Do you and your father have any conscience?"

If it weren't for Harrison, Clement wouldn't have secured the position of procurement manager at Harris

Pharmaceuticals, nor would he be where he is today.

Instead of showing any gratitude, they repaid kindness with malice, rushing to the hospital to provoke him. It was like nurturing an ungrateful viper.
