Chapter 795
âThanks, Lydia, I appreciate it,â Nyla replied.
Lydia shook her head with a smile. âItâs no trouble.â
With that, she went to the kitchen.
As soon as Nyla returned from fetching water in the bathroom, she heard Valarieâs quiet sobs. She hurried to the bedside, setting down the basin of water, and gently nudged
Valarie.
âValarie, how are you feeling?â she asked.
Valarie opened her eyes. Upon seeing Nyla, she began to cry even harder. âNyla⦠is my life a failure?â
Noticing her redârimmed eyes, Nyla quickly knelt beside her and replied gently, âWhy do you think that?â
âThe Weir Group is in trouble, and I canât help at all⦠Iâm clearly attracted to Brandon, but Iâm too afraid of the age difference to pursue it. I decided to get engaged to Zayn for the Weir Group, but Iâm not doing it wholeheartedly⦠And Zayn has a mistressâ¦â Valarie confessed.
She tried to convince herself that she didnât care, but it was impossible to feel completely indifferent, especially since Zaynâs mistress had given birth to a son. He could never really cut ties with them.
The thought of spending her life pretending to be happy with someone she didnât love made her feel hopeless.
Moreover, she knew that Zayn only wanted to marry her to gain control over the Weir Group. Being with him felt like playing with fire, yet she felt she had no other choice.
Seeing Valarie cry so heartbrokenly made Nyla feel a pang of sympathy. She quickly wiped her tears away and comforted her. âValarie, donât worry. Damon plans to help the Weir Group. Weâll get through this, and you donât have to be with Zayn.â
Valarie looked stunned as if she didnât fully understand what Nyla meant. âWhat did say? Damon⦠is going to help the Weir Group?â
you
Previously, Jonathan had sought Damonâs help several times, but each request had been refused.
Valarie wasnât naive. She understood that Damon wouldnât help the Weirs without a reason. Nyla must have said something to him.
âNyla, youâve already helped the Weirs so muchâ¦â she began.

Nyla itâs not without conditions, so you donât need to feel too burdened.â
ently held her hand. âValarie, itâs Damon who intends to help the Weir Group, but
Even though Nyla said this, Valarie still recognized that Damon wouldnât care about the Weir Groupâs survival if it werenât for her.
This realization made her feel even more touched. She cried, âNyla, being your friend is the luckiest thing thatâs ever happened to me!â
Nyla was taken aback. She thought being liked by Damon was also the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her.
Upon reflecting on everything Damon had done for her without asking for anything in return, her heart felt both full and painful.
In the midst of their silence, Lydia pushed the door open, holding a bowl of chicken soup. Ms. Kinsey, the soup is ready.â
Nyla collected her thoughts and got up to take the bowl. âLydia, you should go rest. Iâll take care of things here.â
Seeing that Valarie was awake and didnât seem to need her help, Lydia nodded. âOkay, Ms. Kinsey. If you need anything, just call me.â
âGot it,â Nyla replied.
After Lydia left, Nyla fed Valarie the soup and wiped her face before stepping out.
Instead of hurrying back to her room, she turned and headed to the study.
