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

Chapter 238: Her outward strength masked an exquisitely fragile heart, one that had found its first glimmer of hope in the salvation provided by Ethan, bringing warmth to her fractured existence. "These past few days, Vicki's words keep echoing in my mind," Nyla confessed with a bitter smile. "Perhaps she's right-maybe solitude is my destined path. Nothing seems to stay within my grasp." Bonnie's heart ached at these words. "How can you say that? You'll always have me. Everything remains within your control.

Nyla, you're extraordinary-everything should rightfully be yours." "Please don't worry." Nyla forced herself to redirect her thoughts. "Everything will resolve itself. Murray's investigation into Hudson should yield results soon." Bonnie felt a twinge of regret. "I initially wanted you to date Murray, hoping he'd help you heal from heartbreak. Now he's become a source of Ethan's jealousy. What a complicated web." Murray had always struck her as calculating, his eyes constantly evaluating, planning. Yet his genuine assistance to Nyla made Bonnie question her initial judgment.

Perhaps she had misread him entirely. "Any news from overseas? What's the latest on Jaxton's death?" Bonnie inquired. "International investigations move slowly. Jaxton's suicide wasn't voluntary-the Higgins family held his wife and daughter hostage. And Callie..." Nyla paused. "She was behind the bribery of Murray's subordinate."

"Just monitor Callie's movements for me." "Of course." Meanwhile, Noelle burst into Ethan's office, her delicate features twisted with barely contained fury. Her fist landed hard on his desk. "Why did you suddenly abandon your psychological therapy? You understand the severity of your condition. Why this abrupt surrender?" To Noelle, this wasn't a minor issue, especially given their family connection.

Though uninvolved in past events, her cousin's desperate plea to rescue Ethan still haunted her. Her inability to help then had left lasting guilt. Perhaps, had she managed to take him away, his present circumstances might be different. Ethan's face remained impassive. "It's no longer necessary." Noelle's frown deepened. "Unnecessary? How can you be so childish? Mental health isn't something you can address sporadically. Have all those medications been worthless? Or have they clouded your judgment?" As his aunt, her concern stemmed from genuine guilt. . . .
