Nyla returned home and sat on the living room sofa, staring at her phone. The number she had just dialed glowed on the screen. After calming down from her anger and pain, she had to face reality. A divorce required financial independence. Clark was covering all of her father's monthly medical expenses. The bills reached a staggering $100,000 each month. She simply couldn't afford it.Her fingers trembled as she scrolled through her contacts. She stopped at a familiar name. Professor Anderson. Her former research supervisor from graduate school."Professor Anderson? This is Nyla. Nyla Jayston." She tried to sound calm, but her voice cracked slightly.A surprised voice came from the other end. "Nyla! Oh my god, are you okay? I haven't been in touch since you got married three years ago."Nyla bit her lip hard. The metallic taste of blood filled her mouth. "Professor, I want to return to research. I know this sounds sudden, but I need a job.""Of course!" Professor Anderson agreed without

Marie's headache intensified at Damon's nonchalant attitude.She shook her head and turned her attention to Clark and Nyla. "You've been married for three years now. When are you planning on having kids? I'm looking forward to having great-grandchildren."The moment this topic came up, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense. Nyla's fingers gripped her teacup so tightly her knuckles turned white.This was her most sensitive topic, the one that pierced her heart every time it was mentioned.Clark's aunt Anne immediately seized the opportunity.She leaned forward with a sneer. "Nyla, you and Clark have been married for three years. What will it look like if you don't have a child? What will others think of our Summer family?"She paused, malice glinting in her eyes. "And if Clark hadn't insisted on marrying you, do you think you could have married into our Summer family with your background? Don't be so ungrateful. You don't want to have children for Clark, but there are

Clark gently helped the young woman out of the obstetrics clinic. Both of them were smiling, their faces glowing with happiness.Nyla immediately recognized her. This was the woman from the photos in those anonymous messages.Just then, the woman spotted Nyla standing frozen in the hallway. Her eyes lit up with surprise and something that looked like malicious delight."Oh wow, isn't that Mrs. Summer?" she exclaimed loudly. "What a coincidence running into you at the hospital!"At the sound of her voice, Clark looked up. His eyes met Nyla's across the corridor. His entire body went rigid. He quickly dropped his hand from the woman's arm, panic flooding his features."Nyla!" Clark hurried toward her, his voice high with nervousness. "Why are you here? You should be resting in your room!"He reached her side, speaking rapidly. "I was just downstairs getting your medicine when I accidentally bumped into Jordyn here. She's my new secretary, and she's pregnant. I was worried she might fall,

Harrison suddenly developed a violent coughing fit. His body convulsed as he struggled to breathe.His face turned an alarming shade of blue, and his hands clawed at his chest. The phone slipped from his trembling fingers and clattered to the floor.Nyla saw the message on the fallen phone and immediately understood what had triggered his condition.Rage flooded through her veins, but her father's health took priority over confronting Jordyn. She frantically pressed the call button for the nurses."Help! I need a doctor now!" she shouted into the hallway.A team of medical staff rushed into the room. They immediately began checking her father's vital signs while Nyla stood helplessly in the corner, watching his condition deteriorate before her eyes.The lead doctor emerged from the examination looking grave. He pulled off his mask and shook his head slowly."Mr. Jayston's condition has suddenly worsened," he said wearily. "His kidney failure has progressed rapidly. We need to transfer

Clark rushed to the hospital carrying a large bag of nutritional supplements and flowers. His face was etched with anxiety and guilt. He saw Nyla outside the ICU. She looked haggard. A wave of pain welled up in his heart."Nyla, are you okay? How's Dad?" Clark asked softly. He reached out to support her.Nyla gave him a cold look. She stepped back, avoiding his touch. "He's out of danger.""Nyla, I need to explain what happened yesterday," Clark said urgently. "Jordyn sent that text by mistake. She meant to send it to her boyfriend."Nyla sneered. "Sent it by mistake? Clark, do you think I'd believe such a lowly lie?"Just then, the door to the ward opened. A nurse emerged. "You may see the patient, but please remain quiet."The two entered the ward. Harrison lay weakly on the bed. Seeing them enter, a relieved smile crossed his face."Nyla, you're all here," Harrison said softly. "I'm fine, don't worry."Nyla suppressed her anger to avoid worrying her father. She forced a smile. "Dad,
