Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 259

As 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 came out, he returned to the guest house.

Perhaps she had already returned home and was waiting for him to join her for dinner. That had to be it.

The town had beautiful scenery, and many Daburineans came to 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.

With 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 come back 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.

With so many people in this town, he believed that at least one person would have seen her.

Cillian 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 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 full-scale search would only expose her to more danger.

He could not risk Lucy’s life like that.
