Chapter 564


    I was not sure if I should update Lyle that Christopher had gone missing. Seeing that I looked rather


    uneasy, he did not pursue the matter, but elerated on the pedal and sped off. Shortly after, we


    arrived at a hotel, but I did not get off of the car. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, “Did youe


    here to find Christopher?”


    He knew that he guessed it right when he noticed myck of response and the surprised look on my


    face. “The police has been patrolling very oftentely. Obviously, something massive is going on. It


    didn’t register with me because the safety in this ce is always an issue. Now that I think about it, the


    constant monitoring of the police is most likely rted to Christopher.”


    There was no reason for me to hide from him since he had already connected the dots. Hence, I came


    clean with him about the purpose of my traveling here. “I’m here to look for Christopher. No matter what


    happens, I’ll stay by his side.”


    “It’s too dangerous. Whatever Christopher does has its risks. What can you do even if you linger


    around? Let me take you back to Avenport. Stay home and look after yourself. The Lanes will take care


    of the rest.”


    Lyle could notprehend my decision. He looked at me, bbergasted. “Mind your own business,


    Lyle. I must search for Christopher, and I’ll never give up.” I went straight to the point.

    “What can you do? Cause trouble?”


    “At the least, I’ll contribute to the search. I will find him. An extra pair of hands is better than none.” I


    muttered, “I don’t have peace when I stay home. Each moment of waiting is tremendous torture to me.


    It’s unbearable!”


    Lyle was shocked to the wits. “Will you risk it all for Christopher’s sake?”


    “Yes, even if it means I’ll lose my life. Haven’t I proved my determination through the incident on the


    ind? Don’t try to stop me, Lyle.”


    He fell silent for a long while. Then, he stated, “Okay, I’ll help you.” He was resolute as if he had


    thought things through and made up his mind.


    This time, I was the one who was astounded because he was never the type of person who would


    sacrifice himself for others. Perhaps there’s a person whom he’s willing to risk his life for, and that’s


    Crystal. Not me.


    I wondered what method Lyle used, that he was able to contact Sean the following morning. When I


    met up with Sean, he looked terrible and haggard, with bandages all over his body as if he had just


    escaped death from the battlefield. Yet, he acted like he was well and fine.


    There were police everywhere in the yard. Each of them was armed with weapons, filled with


    murderous intent, and was ever ready to fire away. When we were near, someone pointed the gun at


    us and yelled, “Who are you? Leave this ce at once.”


    “Please let me enter. I’m here to look for someone. Is Christopher Lane here?”


    “Take another step forward, and I’ll shoot you.”


    “Hold on.” I was three feet away from the entrance when I saw Sean with an injured arm walking out.


    Without hesitating, I called out loudly, “Sean, it’s me. I’m over here.”


    “Yvonne!” Sean was stunned. “How did you get here?” he came forward and asked.


    “This isn’t important. Where’s Christopher? Is he inside?” I queried anxiously.


    “This… Um… Sir is upied at the moment. He’s not avable to see you.” Sean felt bad. “Yvonne,


    you should leave quickly. This isn’t the ce where you should be. I’m sure Sir will contact you in two


    days’ time.”


    Upon hearing his words, I fretted even more. It did notfort me one bit. From his expression, I could


    tell that something had befallen Christopher.


    I shut my eyes for a moment to calm myself down. Then, I questioned him solemnly, “Is it true that


    Christopher is not inside? He’s gone missing during a task performed with Zachary, and you guys


    haven’t located them yet.”


    Sean was at a loss for words. Subsequently, he tried to make me feel better. “Don’t overthink things,


    Yvonne. Sir is absolutely fine. We’re carrying out a secret duty. It’s a policy not to share any details with


    others, including you.”


    “Don’t lie to me. I know everything. I know that he’s missing in action, and no one has found him yet.


    Tell me, are there any clues? Can we please go together?” I pleaded with Sean.
