Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)

Damon's end of the line was silent. After a moment, he hung up.

For the next month, Damon did not appear before Nyla. Other than occasional updates from Valarie, Nyla had no further encounters with him.

Nyla spent her days immersed in her studies. It wasn't until her period was delayed by more than a week that she began to feel uneasy.

However, recalling her previous body checkup results, which indicated she was infertile, provided some comfort. She reassured herself that the delay must be due to the stress of studying. Despite her attempts to calm herself, anxiety lingered. She donned her coat and went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test. She needed confirmation before she could truly relax. Half an hour later, Nyla's eyes widened in shock as she saw two lines on the test. Wasn't she supposed to be infertile?

Moreover, she had taken a contraceptive pill for added safety-how could she still be pregnant?

After the initial shock, panic set in.

Nyla quickly made an appointment and drove to the hospital.

While waiting for the blood test results, she kept praying that the pregnancy test had been faulty and that the second line was merely faint.

...

When Nyla finally received the report and saw that she was five weeks pregnant, she was frozen in place.

The doctor, sitting behind the desk, regarded her with indifference. "Do you want to keep the baby?"

Nyla, still in disbelief, stared at the doctor. "Is there any chance this report is wrong?"

The doctor frowned, their voice cold. "No."

Given Nyla's reaction, it was clear she was not eager to continue the pregnancy.

"If you don't want to keep it, I can refer you for a termination," the doctor offered.

Nyla was taken aback. She instinctively said, "No... No, I've had fertility tests before. The reports said I was infertile..."

"Where did you have the tests?" the doctor asked.

"Here at Pinnacle Hospital..." Nyla answered.

The doctor was silent for a moment before speaking in a serious tone. "If you don't believe the results, you can take another test." Nyla quickly agreed. She couldn't believe she was pregnant.

Upon receiving the second identical report, Nyla finally had to accept the reality of her pregnancy. Even though she didn't understand how it had happened despite being infertile, she had to face the truth.

When the doctor noted her pale face and the absence of a boyfriend or husband by her side, they assumed the pregnancy was unplanned.

Typically, such cases would result in

the pregnancy being not

BUMS

The doctor's attitude grew impatient. "Do you want to keep the baby or not?"

Nyla had just come to terms with the pregnancy, and now she was suddenly being asked if she wanted to keep the baby. This left her disoriented. Under the doctor's increasingly cold gaze, she took a deep breath and said slowly, "I haven't decided yet... I need to think about it."

Nyla left the doctor's office in a daze, holding the test results. Lost in thought, she accidentally bumped into someone around a corner. She stumbled back and dropped the test results. As she bent down to pick them up, a hand reached down and grabbed them first. Startled, she looked up to see Clark's dark expression. He clutched the test results, his eyes filled with anger.

His expression, as if he had been

betrayed, struck Nyla as somewhat

amusing. She looked at him with a

blank face. "Please give me back my document."

As soon as she finished speaking, Clark grabbed her hand. Despite her struggles, he forcefully pulled her into a nearby stairwell.

"Nyla, what's going on?! You're pregnant?!" he demanded.
