Chapter 689

Chapter 689:

“Let me handle that,” Waylon offered, his concern for Madisyn evident.

“No, I must do this myself,” Madisyn insisted.

“You’re injured, and you need rest,” Waylon said, worry etched on his face. “You’ll wear yourself out.”

Madisyn managed a small smile and looked at him with calm resolve. “I know my own limits, Waylon. Besides, there will be times when I’ll need your help. You should rest.”

“How am I supposed to sleep when you’re pushing yourself like this?” Waylon’s voice trembled with concern. “Andrew is to blame for all of this!”

“If Andrew hadn’t come here, what would Aswil’s internal affairs have to do with us?” he continued, frustration clear in his voice.

Madisyn explained gently, “It’s more than just Andrew now. This has become about Aswil and our own country. Think about it—Savannah is such a despicable woman. How decent could her father possibly be? He’s likely even more ruthless. If a man like him takes the throne, he could very well incite wars with neighboring regions, leading to countless innocent lives lost.”

Waylon couldn’t argue with her reasoning. As he gazed at Madisyn’s calm expression, a mix of worry and admiration stirred within him. She had an uncanny ability to see the bigger picture—something he struggled to do himself.

“Waylon, get some sleep. Otherwise, when I need your protection, you’ll be too exhausted,” Madisyn urged gently. “I can handle things here.”

Reluctantly, Waylon settled onto the sofa to rest. As he did, Madisyn continued preparing the medicine and reached out to Jared.

Jared’s reply came quickly. “Wait—you’re saying the girl Howard saved is Dottie? My goodness, what a coincidence. Our undercover agents within the Serpentine Palers did witness your brother rescuing a girl who was nearly assaulted. Later, that girl was quietly sent away.” It seemed Dottie was telling the truth.

Although her story appeared flawless, Madisyn knew she would need to confirm it herself.

Madisyn asked, “What’s the situation within the Serpentine Palers lately?”

Jared responded, “Howard’s new weapon is nearing completion, or so the people in Serpentine Palers believe.”

Madisyn pressed further. “What are they planning to do with the weapon?”

Jared explained, “The financial groups in Aswil are very united. They want the king’s brother to take the throne, but they’re wary of failure. If negotiations fall through, they’re prepared to use this weapon to intimidate others. This new weapon bypasses security checks, is cleverly engineered, and has powerful explosive capabilities. However, Howard has embedded his own chip in every weapon. If he chooses, he can render them useless. Moreover, he’s developing a bomb capable of annihilating the entire Serpentine Palers.”

Madisyn felt a flicker of emotion at the mention of Howard’s plans.

Jared continued, “This information comes straight from our undercover agents. Wow, Howard is a genius. Boss, do you think I could meet him?”

Madisyn replied, “Once everything is settled.”
