Chapter 1078

"Nyla, I promise this won't happen again," Gabriel assured.

Nyla didn't respond. She simply took Mason's hand and walked away.

Gabriel and Wilhelm stood there for a moment before finally leaving, neither of them noticing the figure watching from the corner of the hospital lobby.

Brandon dialed Damon's number again. "Uncle Damon, you don't need to come. Aunt Nyla already left with Buddy.

"I asked around and found out that Buddy and Wilhelm fought at school this morning. Aunt Nyla and Gabriel were here to get them checked out, but they've already gone their separate ways."

There was a pause before Damon's cold voice came through the line. "Got it."

Then he hung up.

When Nyla brought Mason home, Lydia looked surprised to see him. "Ms. Kinsey, why isn't Mr. Mason at school?"

"He'll stay home with me today. Buddy, go wash your hands and change your clothes," Nyla said.

Mason nodded and ran upstairs.

Lydia didn't press further but mentioned, "Mr. Sumner called earlier to check if you'd gotten home. I told him you hadn't returned yet. Maybe you should call him back?"
