Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1271 Nicole Is Saved

When Ryan received the text, he contemplated telling the one behind this. Not long ago, someone had reached out to him, inquiring about Nicole's condition with a clear emphasis on her survival. Since then, his anxiety had grown, as he was cautious about the force behind the unknown person. Moreover, that mysterious person seemed to possess an uncanny knowledge of his circumstances, capable of incriminating and leading him straight to jail. Despite his reservations, he decided to candidly share the information he possessed.

'Why do you suddenly want to know about Nicole's condition? Have you regretted your actions?'

After reading Evelyn's text message, Ryan clenched his phone tightly. Then, he disregarded her message and relayed the details to the mysterious person instead. When he saw that the other had received his message but had not replied, he finally let out a sigh of relief. There were times when receiving no reply was the best news.

Tell him there's an emergency and that he will know about it once he finishes his research early." The man's deep, attractive voice was extraordinarily ear-pleasing in the dark night.
