NovelEnglishAs the daylight gradually faded into darkness and street lights illuminated the streets, Cillian's heart was as cold as ice. Holding onto the last shred of hope that he had just missed her when he cout, he returned to the guest house.
Perhaps she had already returned hand was waiting for him to join her for dinner. That had to be it.
The town had beautiful scenery, and many Daburineans cto visit. Maybe those people did not even realize they had seen Lucy. Cillian could only console himself with various excuses. He could not bear the thought of losing Lucy.
It would drive him insane. He could kill someone if that happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a glimmer of hope, Cillian returned to the guest house in a daze.
It was eerily quiet, and the dishes on the table had already gone cold. Maggie had been waiting for Cillian and Lucy the entire time.
Neither Maggie nor Britney had touched their food. After Cillian returned, Maggie approached him anxiously. "How did it go? Did you find Ms. Quinn?" Cillian was stunned by her question. He stammered, "Lucy hasn't cback yet?" Maggie got her answer from his response. She sighed and shook her head.
Lucy was really missing. How could a woman like her disappear all of a sudden? Cillian could no longer console himself. He sat down unsteadily, gripping the chair for support.
Where could Lucy have gone? Had those assassins already tracked her down? No, that was impossible. Lucy's room was neat and tidy, and he had searched every inch of the garden.
There were no traces or bloodstains. If Lucy had been forcibly taken away, she would have resisted.
In broad daylight, with many people strolling in the garden every day, it was impossible that no one noticed anything.
Unless... Lucy was taken away so abruptly that she did not even have the chance to resist. What were they going to do to her? Cillian felt dizzy just thinking about it, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Regardless, his priority was to find Lucy as soon as possible. Since there were no bloodstains, Lucy should be safe for the tbeing. The sooner he found her, the less risk she would be in.
He had to figure out a way to find Lucy as soon as possible. Feeling disoriented, Cillian stood up to go out and search for her again. Seeing him in such a state, Maggie could not help but interfere, "Mr. Sullivan, please calm down. Perhaps something is delaying her. "Let's not be too pessimistic. Why don't you sit down and eat first? After that, we'll go out and look for her with you," Maggie persuaded him. However, Cillian shook his head. "No thanks. I'm not hungry. I'll go out and ask around. Someone must've seen her." With so many people in this town, he believed that at least one person would have seen her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCillian was about to put on his coat and head out, but Maggie stopped him.
"No, Mr. Sullivan. If you go knocking on people's doors, no one will open the door for you. Why not try calling the police? There may not be many surveillance cameras in this garden, but there should be clues to Ms.
Quinn's whereabouts on the streets. Maggie offered him a rational suggestion, but Cillian shook his head. "No, I can't call the police..."
Lucy was a dead person to the outside world. With Matthew's m extraordinary powers, he even managed to send her to Charleston without a valid identity. What would he tell the police if they wanted to check Lucy's identification?
Plus, if Lucy had actually been taken away by those assassins, launching a assassins. full-scale search would only expose her to more danger. He could not risk Lucy's life like that.
