Chapter 1192

Author: Hello Spring
"There's no need. My dad has no connection to the Kinseys anymore. Tell her to stay out of his life," Nyla said, hanging up.

On the other end, Alexander immediately dialed Emerald.

"What is it?" Her tone was cold and impatient.

"Aunt Emerald, did you go see Nyla's father?" Alexander asked.

"How did you know?" Emerald shot back.

"Nyla just called me. She said her father collapsed after seeing you and is still unconscious in the hospital," Alexander explained.

There was a brief silence before Emerald's voice returned, laced with sarcasm. "All I did was tell him I was taking Nyla to Meristate and bring up some past matters. If that was enough to make him collapse, then his mental fortitude is laughably weak."

Alexander sighed. "Aunt Emerald, you and her father have been divorced for so long. There's no reason to see him anymore. If something serious happens because of this, Nyla will definitely resent you."

He added, "Don't forget, she's lived with her father all these years. Her

    Nyla pressed her lips together. "Dad, don't worry. Since I've chosen to go to Meristate, I've already prepared myself to face whatever comes my way. You don't need to worry about me."Harrison wanted to say more, but just then, the hospital room door opened. The housekeeper entered with a bag of clean clothes for him."Ms. Kinsey, has Mr. Jayston woken up?" she asked.Nyla nodded. "Yes, he's awake. The doctor just came by and said there's nothing serious for now. They'll continue monitoring him over the next few days.""Alright, Ms. Kinsey. If you have things to take care of, you can go ahead. I'll stay here and call you if anything comes up," the housekeeper offered.Since there wasn't much for Nyla to do at the hospital, she nodded and stood up. "Alright. If anything happens, call me immediately. If it gets too difficult for you to manage alone, I'll hire a couple of nurses to help."The housekeeper quickly waved her hands. "No need, no need. I can handle it on my own.""Okay.

    Damon hadn't mentioned it because he didn't want Nyla to worry.After a brief hesitation, she quietly closed the door and left, careful not to wake him.Lydia saw her leaving alone with the container and quickly asked, "Ms. Kin— Mrs. Sumner, isn't Mr. Sumner going with you?"Nyla turned to her and nodded. "He fell asleep. He hasn't had proper rest in a long time. Let him sleep. Don't disturb him.""Understood. Should I arrange a driver for you?" Lydia asked."No need. I'll drive myself." Nyla turned and left.…She arrived at the hospital and carried the soup to the inpatient ward.As she approached the hospital room, voices reached her from inside.She pushed the door open and saw a young man, likely in his 20s, dressed in a suit. He was standing beside the bed, holding a bag of supplements and attempting to hand them to the housekeeper, who was refusing to accept them.On the hospital bed, Harrison frowned and instructed the housekeeper to send the man away, refusing the gi

    A trace of guilt flickered in Harrison's eyes. He didn't say anything further and lowered his head to drink the soup.Only after finishing did Nyla stand up. "Dad, I have something to take care of this afternoon, so I won't stay with you. If anything comes up, just give me a call."Harrison nodded. "Alright, go ahead."Once outside the hospital, Nyla got into her car but didn't start it right away. Instead, she flipped through the list of rewards Mason had requested, categorizing them before finally starting the engine and heading straight for the mall.In addition to the gifts Mason had asked for, she also bought him birthday presents for every year up until he turned 20.After carefully selecting and packaging everything, she arranged for the items to be delivered to the villa after 9:00 p.m., when Mason would likely be asleep.By the time she finished and headed home, it was already past 6:00 p.m.Winter nights fell quickly, and by the time she parked in front of the villa, t

    Seeing the two large trucks filled with gifts, Damon raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How much did you buy?""I bought all of his birthday and holiday gifts until he turns 20," Nyla answered. "I also labeled and categorized them by year. When the time comes, you can just pick one and give it to him."Damon was at a loss for words.After the service staff moved everything into the designated room, Nyla finished organizing the gifts.When she turned around, she found Damon leaning silently against the doorframe.Sensing something was off, she asked, "Damon, what's wrong?"He pressed his lips together, meeting her gaze. "You prepared all these gifts for Buddy... What about me? Don't you have something for me to keep? Are you really planning to just leave like this?"Nyla stepped closer, standing directly in front of him. "Buddy is the most precious thing I'm leaving for you. And I'm not disappearing forever. One day, the three of us will be together again."Damon pulled her into hi

    Damon paused mid-step and turned back to look at Nyla. "Alright."Seeing him walking toward her again, clearly about to pick her up, she quickly stopped him. "No need, I can walk on my own."Afraid he'd insist on carrying her anyway, she immediately stood and hurried toward the stairs, taking the long way around the couch.Watching her flee, Damon couldn't help but smirk. But as the smile lingered, a shadow of sadness darkened his gaze.Unaware of his emotions, Nyla quickly returned to the bedroom.Mason was already awake, sitting on the bed, groggily rubbing his eyes.When he saw her, he asked in a soft, sleepy voice, "Mommy, when did you carry me here?"His messy bedhead and drowsy little face were so adorable that Nyla couldn't resist reaching out to pinch his cheek. "After you fell asleep last night. Now that you're up, go back to your room and change, okay?"Mason nodded and was about to climb out of bed when he suddenly noticed something. "Mommy, I can't find my slippers.

    "I don't believe you! You're lying! Are you sick?" Mason cried."No…" No matter how much Nyla explained, Mason refused to believe her.Eventually, she had no choice but to call Damon over. It took both of them a long time to convince him.Even then, Mason was still sniffling. "Mommy... are you leaving because you don't want me and Daddy anymore?"Nyla was rendered speechless. How was she supposed to explain such a complicated situation to a five-year-old?She could only keep it simple. "No, Mommy's just going away for work. When I finish, I'll come back. And in the meantime, we can still talk on the phone.""Mommy... are we out of money?" Mason's little fists clenched. "I can make money too!"He had written code for his master before, and his master had given him lots of money. If he kept working, he could earn even more."No, Mommy's not leaving just for money. One day, when you're older, you'll understand," Nyla replied gently."I don't want to understand!" Mason suddenly ju

    After a long pause, Alexander finally spoke to comfort Mason. "Buddy, don't be sad. Your mom probably has something important to take care of, but she'll definitely come back to you one day."Mason wiped his tears. "How long is 'one day'?""Well... I'm not sure. You'll have to ask your mom," Alexander replied."Okay..." Mason muttered.Alexander continued to console him for a while before ending the call. He set his phone down, walked over to the window, and let out a quiet sigh as he gazed into the night.Nyla was leaving for Meristate, and who knew when she'd be able to return? It might be years before Mason could see her again.…Nyla paced anxiously around the living room, constantly glancing up at the second floor. Worry was etched on her face as Mason still refused to leave his room.Seeing her restlessness, Damon walked over, gently took her arm, and guided her to sit on the couch."Nyla, worrying won't help. Buddy needs time to process this. If he still won't come out

    "Can't she just take me with her?" Mason asked.Damon hesitated. The kid was too smart for his own good."If you go with Mommy, what about me? I'd be all alone in this big house. Would you really leave me here by myself?" Damon asked."You still have Lydia and everyone else," Mason answered."But they're not the same as you and Mommy. You and Mommy are the most important people to me," Damon explained.Mason thought for a moment. "Then why don't you come with us?"Damon sighed. "I can't. I have to run the company. If I leave, thousands of people will lose their jobs. Would you want all those families to go hungry?""I don't... but I don't want Mommy to leave either," Mason replied."I don't want her to leave either. But she has to. So why don't you stay here with me and wait for her to return, okay?" Damon asked.Mason wanted to refuse, but seeing his father's sad expression, he couldn't bring himself to say no.Although Mason was more mature than other kids his age, he wasn'

    "That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

    Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

    "Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

    "Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

    Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

    Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

    Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

    Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

    More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
