When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 The Fool
Memories of the past enveloped Nicholas, fueling his growing discontent.

“I went to the banquet, but I have no clue where Nathaniel went. It's quite late. Are you still looking for him?”

“Yes. Since you have no idea, I'll be heading back.”

Perhaps it was the past that had cast a certain light on Nicholas, adding a filter to her memories of him. Regardless, Cecilia never perceived him as bad.

Just as Cecilia was about to get in the car, Nicholas beat her to it.

“I'll accompany you to find him.”

Cecilia immediately declined, saying, “No need. You should go rest.”

She felt incredibly guilty for having to wake him up so late at night.

“No way. It's late, and I can't let you look for him on your own,” Nicholas said. Before Cecilia could respond, he had already taken the driver's seat. “Let's go. I'll drive.”

Seeing the situation, Cecilia found it difficult to refuse any further. She nodded. “All right.”

Nicholas was driving toward the downtown.

The two of them hadn't spent time alone like this in a long time.

“Did he disappear during the banquet?”

“No. It was after the banquet,” Cecilia answered.

Nicholas pulled out his phone. “I'll have someone look into the nearby surveillance footage.”

“There's no need to trouble yourself. I've already checked. However, part of the path falls under a surveillance blind spot, and that's where he disappeared,” Cecilia honestly replied.

“Let's have someone investigate. Find out which vehicles and people passed through that blind spot,” he said.

“All right.”

Nicholas made a phone call and instructed his subordinates to find information about Nathaniel overnight.

When the two of them neared the hotel entrance, he slowed down the car, making it easier for them to look around.

Tudela was neither particularly large nor especially small. However, searching for a single person within its boundaries was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
