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

Chapter 255: "I'm aware," Murray responded coldly. "You're aware? You already know this?" Nyla's voice spiked with disbelief. Murray was aware? A surge of relief flooded through her. If he was aware, then perhaps things weren't as bad. "Yeah, I've been abducted, but I managed to get out." "What!" Nyla could hardly believe what she was hearing. It felt like too much to take in all at once. "Are you okay?" Murray was about to make a lighthearted remark, but the image of someone's gentle eyes crossed his mind, causing him to pause, taken aback. Why did his thoughts drift to Johnny?

"Murray, why have you gone silent? Respond to me! Are you okay? Where are you?" On the other end, Nyla was in a panic. Slowly, Murray began to regain his composure, his expression hardening into cold indifference. "I'm alright. There's no need to worry. That person isn't really our enemy." With those words, he ended the call. He massaged his forehead, pondering whether he was reading too much into things. In truth, he had sensed something was wrong early on and had already dispatched someone to investigate.

"You came all this way just to confirm my well-being?" Nyla seemed confused. "What else?" Relieved to see him unharmed, she felt at ease.

As for the identity of the mastermind, she harbored suspicions but wasn't yet prepared to confront them. Murray observed her, his smile tinged with a trace of envy that Nyla couldn't detect. "Nyla, are you so certain it wasn't me who blew the whistle?" Murray suddenly posed the question. Nyla halted, her doubt surfacing briefly, but she quickly shook it off. She knew Murray had his reasons for approaching her, though their exact nature was unclear. But beyond that, Murray was her ally. "It couldn't have been you," Nyla replied earnestly and with conviction.

Murray watched her for a long moment, then let out a quiet laugh. "Now I see why I'm drawn to you." . . .
