Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 230: "I'll dig into the car accident myself," Ethan said, his voice steadier now. "There's been some trouble abroad caused by the Brooks family. I'll go handle it, but I need you to keep an eye on things here." He had a gut feeling that the trouble was orchestrated by Roger to pressure him. Keith nodded and raised his glass. "You can count on me." When Ethan returned home that night, Nyla was already asleep. He stood in the doorway, watching her peaceful face. Relief mingled with unease in his chest. He wanted to believe Nyla wasn't like the others, but a gnawing doubt still lingered.

Sighing, he quietly closed the door and retreated to his study. He opened a worn book that showed signs of frequent use, its pages soft and edges frayed. Tucked inside was a yellowed photograph. It showed a woman holding a young boy. The woman's smile was radiant, and though the boy wasn't smiling, his contentment was clear. Ethan ran his fingers gently over the photo, his mind replaying memories that never stopped haunting him. Zaylee, pinned beneath the car, covered in blood, yet summoning every ounce of strength to push him away. "Run! Ethan, run! Don't let them catch you!

I love you, my darling, and I'm so sorry," she had cried. Moments later, the car caught fire. Someone pulled him to safety, but before he could save her, the car exploded. "Wasn't everything fine last time? Why does this check-up show that you're worse than before? Did something happen in the meantime?" Noelle Sanchez asked, her frown deepening as she studied the report in her hand. Ethan sat across from her, his expression unreadable. His chiseled face betrayed no emotion, and his eyes, devoid of warmth, stared blankly ahead.

Even Nyla had started to notice his recent emotional turmoil, though he always brushed it off by blaming stress at work. Feel the magic at gαℓησνs․cο Noelle adjusted her glasses, letting out a heavy sigh of resignation. She finally set the report down and looked directly at him. "Ethan, your condition has deteriorated. You've lost a significant amount of trust in others." Noelle wasn't just his aunt; she was a renowned psychologist with clinics both domestically and abroad. When her cousin-Ethan's mother-passed away, Noelle was still a student of psychology.

But even then, she had suspected that Ethan had psychological issues. She had thought of confronting Roger about it until she witnessed his harsh treatment of Ethan-demanding he forget the past and locking him away when he resisted. From that moment, Noelle knew she wouldn't be able to take Ethan away, no matter how much she wanted to. . . . Message from Noah: Hope you liked the new chapters dear ones.
