Unscented-Chapter 217 - 159 Murray Is Missing

"What? Is he busy now?" Nina asked in surprise.

"His phone is off." Darkness gathered in Melissa’s eyes. What is Murray doing?

Murray had promised that he would come to pick her up but now she couldn’t even contact him. What happened?

"Maybe it’s out of battery," Nina comforted.

"Let’s wait for him here for a while. He will come over when he’s done." Melissa nodded.

They sat down on the sofa. Melissa stared at the door.

"Melissa, don’t worry. Maybe he wants to give you a surprise and he will suddenly show up."

Seeing Melissa’s disappointed look, Nina patted her shoulder.

"OK," Melissa said faintly, looking a little absent-minded.

Somehow, she felt uneasy as if something terrible was about to happen.

Melissa thought for a while and called Alex.

"Hello, Ms. Eugen." Alex’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Melissa pursed her lips and asked, "Is Murray in the company now?"

"No. Mr. Gibson did not come to the office today. Is he not with you?" Alex asked in surprise.

"What? He didn’t go to work?" Melissa’s heart sank. "Are you sure?" She asked in worry.

"Yes," Alex said firmly and nodded.

In fact, Murray had an appointment with a client today, but Alex didn’t see Murray come to the company. Alex called Murray but Murray’s phone was off.

Alex had thought that today was a very important day because Murray would get engaged today, so Murray would accompany Melissa. Murray turned off his phone so that no one could disturb them.

So Alex was very confused when he received the call. "Ms. Eugen, I thought Mr. Gibson was with you and I even canceled today’s appointment with a client. So you are not together, right?"

"No, if you see him or if you have any news of him, please inform me immediately." She took a deep breath, looking a little bit stiff.

"Alright. Mr. Gibson might have something urgent to do. I’ll get someone to look for him. I’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news," Alex said.

Hanging up the phone, Melissa got nervous.

"What is it?" Nina asked worriedly.

"He’s not in the company." Melissa frowned.

The uneasy feeling grew stronger and stronger.

Where did Murray go?

He said that he was going to the company this morning, but now he was nowhere to be seen. Even his phone was turned off.

Murray was not the kind of person who did not give an explanation if something urgent happened. How could he be missing without any reason?

And today is such an important day!

Did something happen to him?

Thinking of this, Melissa jumped to her feet, "I’ll go out and find him."

"I’ll go with you." Nina followed her.

Melissa had no time to change out of her gown. So she raised her skirt and walked out.

"Wait for me." Nina chased after her and pulled Melissa. "Melissa, calm down. Do you know where to find Murray?"

Melissa shook her head, and then a thought flashed through her mind.

She quickly took out her phone and dialed Anthony’s number.

"Ada, you get engaged today,didn’t you? Why do you call me now? Aren’t you afraid that your husband will be jealous?" Anthony joked.

Melissa frowned and said urgently, "Anthony, please help me locate a mobile phone number as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Hearing Melissa’s cold and serious voice, Anthony was a little surprised. "What number is so important?"

"I have no time to explain to you. Tell me the result as soon as possible!" Melissa said coldly.

After hanging up the phone, Melissa sent Anthony the phone number of Murray.

Soon, Anthony replied to her, "He’s near the Bright Mountain on the outskirts. That’s all I know."

The Bright Mountain?

Melissa’s face turned colder. Why is Murray there?

Why did he go to such a far place? Was it for something important?

Or ... Did something happen to him?

Melissa pulled Nina, took a taxi, and went straight to Bright Mountain.

"The Bright Mountain is very large. Is there a specific location?" The taxi driver looked back at Melissa with surprised and confused eyes.

Why did this beautiful woman go to such a remote place dressed up?

"Just drive in that direction first. We’ll tell you the specific location later," Melissa said with a frown.

After that, Melissa texted Anthony, "Can you give me a more specific location?"

Ten minutes later, Anthony replied, "I’m sorry, Ada. I tried my best, but I couldn’t do it."

...

At the hospital.

Murray looked at the woman lying on the bed and frowned.

Was she really Lily?

The distant memory came back and kept flashing in Murray’s mind.

The flower-shaped birthmark on her shoulder and the way she called him Ray were exactly the same as Lily back then.

But why did she give him such a strange feeling when she passed out in his arms?

Was she Lily or not?

Murray’s handsome face was cold, and his thoughts were wandering.

"Ray," the woman uttered with her soft voice and broke his train of thoughts.

He looked down and saw Ryleigh slowly opening her eyes. Her pale lips moved and she said with excitement and disbelief, "Ray, is it really you? Did you save me?"

Murray lowered his head, his gaze roaming over the woman on the bed. Then he asked with a cold voice, "What is your name?"

Ryleigh struggled to sit up and leaned against the bed. She looked lovingly at the handsome man in front of her and said softly, "Ray, my name is Ryleigh. My nickname is Lily."

"Ryleigh?" Murray frowned. This name didn’t ring a bell.

"Yes." Ryleigh nodded, "That’s my name. You can also call me Lily. Ray, we were both kidnapped and locked in a black room. Did you forget all of it?"

Murray’s cold expression changed a little bit.

He was indeed kidnapped and locked up in a small black room. It was true.

"Ray, you must remember me, right? Back then, those kidnappers were so fierce and even let the dogs bite us. I was afraid of the dark and you were afraid of the dogs. I said that I would protect you and not let you get bitten." Ryleigh continued.

These memories all came back.

In that little dark room, Lily hugged him with her small body and comforted him softly, "Ray, don’t be afraid. I have power. I will protect you."

"Lily ... Are you really Lily?" Murray asked.
