**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**
**Chapter 137**

Before Nyla could articulate her thoughts, Wren unexpectedly seized her hand with a sense of urgency that made Nyla’s heart race. “Nyla, you must understand how profoundly your father has endured all these years in the hospital. If we can arrange for a kidney donation, he could be discharged much sooner…”

As Wren’s words hung in the air, Nyla felt an unsettling bitterness wash over her.

From the moment Clark had wielded the idea of a kidney donation as leverage against her, a heavy sense of defeat had settled in the pit of her stomach. How could she simply stand by and watch her father’s health deteriorate? The weight of the situation left her with no choice but to don a mask of indifference, pretending that everything was normal.

Noticing the vacant look on Nyla’s face, Wren, desperation creeping into her voice, pressed on. “Please, just think of it as a favor to me. If you agree, I swear I’ll get down on my knees for you.”

And with that, Wren began to lower herself to the floor, her intentions clear.

Nyla, startled and instinctively protective, quickly reached out to pull her back up. “Wren, please, I know what I need to do.”

“Thank you… I’m so sorry…” Wren’s voice trembled with relief, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. But as she glanced at Nyla’s pale complexion, she fought to keep her own emotions from spilling over.

Turning her gaze toward Clark, Nyla’s voice turned icy. “You should leave. When Dad wakes up, I’ll explain everything to him so he doesn’t think you were unfaithful during our marriage.”

Clark stepped closer, disregarding her clear resistance, and enveloped her in a hug, his voice low and conspiratorial as he whispered in her ear, “Nyla, if I’m not here when he wakes up, he won’t believe anything you say.”

Nyla inhaled deeply, battling the primal urge to shove him away. She turned her face away, her silence a fortress against his words.

Clark’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, his eyes glinting with a cold calculation. It seemed that the prospect of Harrison’s kidney transplant would have to be postponed. After all, how could he maintain control over Nyla if she were freed from her father’s illness?

Not too far away, Jordyn observed the scene unfold, her blood boiling at the sight of Clark holding Nyla. A fierce determination ignited within her; she vowed that Nyla would not have an easy path ahead!

As memories of Clark and Nyla’s conversation about the kidney donation swirled in her mind, an idea sparked within Jordyn, prompting her to leave in haste.
