"Lulu, it's tfor dinner. Lulu..." Cillian knocked on the door, but there was no response. His heart skipped a beat. Without any hesitation, he reached for the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Inside, he found a cluttered table with scattered draft papers and a lonely laptop sitting on top. Lucy was nowhere to be seen.

Cillian felt a pang of anxiety, but before he went into full panic mode, someone tugged at the hem of his clothes. He turned around and saw that it was a little girl with short hair.

He recognized her. It was the landlady's child who often stuck around Lucy. Britney stared at him with her large eyes as she said, "Sir, I forgot to tell you that Ms. Lucy went out to the garden.

"She saw that you were busy with work, so she didn't want to disturb you. She askedto wait until you were finished with work to let you know so that you wouldn't worry too much." Cillian did not bother addressing the fact that the kid called Lucy 'Ms. Lucy' but him 'sir.' Hearing that Lucy went out for a walk eased his worries a bit, but after a while, he felt that something was not right.

He crouched down and asked, "When did Ms. Lucy leave?" "I'm not sure, but it was probably around noon. Maybe at one o'clock?" The child replied, tilting her head as she tried to recall what tLucy left. Hearing this, Cillian's heart sank.

Uh-oh. The weather was nice today. Britney said that Lucy left around early afternoon, which meant that she left around one or two o'clock.

However, the sun had already set, which meant that at least five or six hours had passed since then. Lucy would not have been out in the garden for that long.

This would not do. He had to go find her. Cillian stood up shakily, but he suppressed his worries and asked Britney, "Do you know which garden Ms. Lucy went to?" Britney shook her head and added, "We only have one garden. Just go out the door and keep turning right. When you pass by a café, keep going straight." Cillian nodded and thanked Britney, the obedient child. He grabbed his phone before informing Maggie and dashing out of the house, following the directions Britney gave him. While searching, Cillian constantly reassured himself, thinking, 'It's fine. Nothing bad will happen.' Matthew and Cillian had already made sure that there were no assassins in Charleston. Nobody here knew Lucy either, which was why they chose this country.

Not to mention, Lucy was dead to the outside world. Who would go through so much trouble to harm a dead person? She just went for a walk in the garden. Everything would be fine.

Maybe she got captivated by sbeautiful scenery and lost track of time. Yes, that had to be the case. Cillian continued comforting himself while he called Lucy's new number along the way.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..." Unfortunately, Lucy had forgotten to charge her phone before leaving, so it was switched off. Despite Cillian's persistent efforts, he could not reach Lucy.

As the sun set and the garden emptied out, it becevident that Lucy was not there either.

Cillian searched through practically every flower bed, leaving no stone unturned, However, there was no sign of her anywhere.

"Excuse me, have you seen a beautiful Daburinean woman who Daburineag looks like me? She's about this tall..." Dispirited, Cillian sat by the bench. He stood up each tsomeone passed by to ask about Lucy.

It was already evening. Even if someone had seen Lu en Luex in this small town, they would have gone hby Επ now. After asking around, Cillian could not find a single person who had seen Lucy.
