GoodNovelLydia quickly brought the first-aid kit and said, "Ms. Kinsey, please go sit on the couch. Lettake care of your injury." Nyla shook her head, looking gratefully at Lydia. "No need. I can do it myself." "Lethelp. It's not easy for you to do it alone," Lydia advised.
Seeing Lydia's insistence, Nyla finally nodded. "Alright, Lydia. I'll trouble you." Nyla gently wiped the tears from Mason's face and said softly, "Buddy, don't cry anymore. Mommy is fine." Mason sniffled, gripping the hem of Nyla's shirt tightly, his eyes filled with fear.

As Lydia picked up the first-aid kit to leave, she noticed Damon still standing there with a stern expression. Unable to hold back, she spoke up. "Mr. Sumner, I don't know what conflict you have with Ms. Kinsey, but it's not right to let her get hurt. You shouldn't fight, especially in front of Buddy.

Under Damon's icy gaze, Brandon raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay. I won't say anything more. I have work at the company, so I'll head back now." After Brandon left, Damon picked up the documents on the desk.
