Waverly's eyes dimmed. It turned out that it was useless. She knew that Joseph wouldn't tell her anything useful. Joseph was not the type to put himself in difficulty's way for other people's sakes. "Bellamy, I'm making a snowman. Look." Waverly faced the camera to the snowballs. "It's not done yet. It's just a round ball now. I'll go finish making it first." "Hey, it's snowing outside now. You will catch a cold if you're not careful. The snowman can wait until the snow has stopped falling. Hurry up and go back for now," Bellamy urged. Waverly felt warmth spreading inside her heart. Her hands no longer felt cold. She said in a softer tone, "Back then, we would also make snowmen together on snowy days." "That was only for a brief while. It doesn't matter. Be good and take good care of yourself. Don't make me worry." Bellamy frowned. Waverly's eyes glimmered. She felt his concern, but unfortunately, it was impossible for them to be to
Waverly opened her eyes. She realized that this was not her home in the President's manor. The toilet wasn't where she was familiar with it being. "I'm going to the toilet," Waverly told Joseph. Joseph looked in the direction of the toilet. Waverly followed his gaze sheepishly. After such an awkward incident, she was wide awake and no longer felt sleepy. Next to the sink was a disposable toothbrush, toothpaste, and a set of Lancome skincare products. She brushed her teeth, reapplied her skincare, and went out. Joseph had also gotten up and opened the curtains. It was very bright outside; everything looked white. "You are going to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, aren't you? I've already made the necessary arrangements. After breakfast, my staff will send you to the personnel department for registration," Joseph said, looking intimidating in a formal suit. He was unlike Bellamy, who would still seem approachable no matter how forma
The assistants busied themselves. They mainly dealt with domestic diplomats. Some of them would go abroad to handle foreign affairs that the country was concerned with, as well as some trivial matters for the logistics department. There were also some diplomats stationed abroad in various embassies. M Country was a neutral country. There were embassies for nearly every country there. The Minister of Foreign Affairs had great power over the foreign aid that M Country received. It was also Madam Lenny's selling point. After Waverly saw the news, she went out to make a phone call to Bellamy. There was a beeping sound from the other end of the phone. The line wouldn't connect. The deputy minister walked into the assistants' office with a reluctant expression, saying to them, "A riot has broken out in Z Country; the Lancaster Army rebelled. I need an assistant to come with me to Z Country. Any volunteers?" "Oh heavens, a riot? We might die if we go! I won't go.
Waverly wanted to have a good sleep so that she would not have a headache when she wakes up. By then, she could join the rescue team immediately. She forced herself to sleep, but her mind was plagued with worry. She was afraid that Bellamy would be in danger. If Bellamy were to die, would there be any need for her to keep on going? She... didn't even get to spend the night with him. Waverly felt very aggrieved and troubled. Turbulent emotions tumbled in her mind and she couldn't sleep at all. She got up and went out of the room. She saw Rory resting outside. She asked, "Rory, do you have any sleeping pills?" Rory looked at her and reminded her, "It's best to not take any sleeping pills on the plane. If you stop moving for a long time, your blood flow will slow down. If you don't drink enough water, your body will become dehydrated. The temperature on the plane is low, and the slower blood flow in your arteries and veins of your lower limbs may form b
The building was in ruins. The ground was filled with potholes, bricks, and glass debris everywhere. Dead bodies were lying on the ground, some people were wounded, some were crying and wailing in pain. The smoke of gunpowder and the smell of death lingered in the air. Waverly's heart was in anguish. She got out of the car and saw a man who looked like he was from A Country. She ran over and asked that person, "Are you from A Country?" The man looked at Waverly and said respectfully, "Mrs. President." "Have you seen Bellamy? How is he? Where is he now? Is he injured?" Waverly asked anxiously. The man shook his head, "I don't know." Waverly ran toward the embassy. "Mrs. President!" the man shouted, "There's no one else in the embassy now. They've all been taken away by the Lancaster Army." "Why did the Lancaster Army take them away? Didn't Bellamy come all the way here to negotiate?" Waverly was puzzled. "I don't know. Mrs. President, you'
The bullet whizzed past Waverly's cheek and went straight into the tree trunk. However, she did not even blink. Since she was here, she did not expect to leave alive as she had long put the thought of whether she would live or die out of her mind. Both sides stopped firing and were waiting for instructions from their superiors. Then, someone from the Lancaster Army came out. He looked at Waverly and said with a straight face, "The general wishes to see you." She followed him into the tent of the Lancaster Army. For a moment, the battle came to a halt. Then, she saw Paxon, the leader of the group. The man was tall and dark-skinned, and he was dressed in a blue military uniform. He asked sternly in Z Country's language, "What do you want?" "A Country has always had a good relationship with Z Country, so I don't think it's necessary to involve us in the internal struggles of your country. The president of A Country is here this time t
"Lily." Paxon hugged the little girl in shock, "I thought I would never be able to see you again. How did you get here?" "Dad, that lady saved me." The little girl pointed to Waverly and said, "Don't hurt her." Then, he made up his mind. "The Lancaster Army will no longer fight with A Country. You can leave safely, including all your hostages." Waverly smiled and looked at Bellamy. He looked at her dotingly... Then, a loud bang was heard. The joy didn't last long before Braque had shot Paxon dead. Waverly had not yet recovered from this before Braque mercilessly killed the little girl too. Then, he raised his pistol and pointed it at her. With malice flashing in his eyes, he did not hesitate to shoot. Bellamy realized that she was in danger, hence he turned around and stood in front of her to block her. "No!" Her heart clenched painfully and she cried out. "I'm fine." He comforted her. He raised his smile before he turn
Waverly had figured out who the man in black was talking about. "Rory, don't worry about me. You can head back first," she said. "Madam," he called out worriedly. Then, she got out of the car. The man in black turned around, and she got in their car. "When did Joseph arrive?" She looked out of the window and asked calmly. "He came the moment you left. Madam, you're way too reckless. If it wasn't for..." The man in black realized that he had said something wrong and immediately stopped. "If it wasn't for what?" The corners of Waverly's mouth twitched. "If he hadn't ordered for me to be released, I would have been dead now, right?" The man in black did not speak as he did not dare to do so. However, she didn't need an answer from him as she had already guessed what he was thinking. After ten minutes, she arrived at Joseph's campsite. When she entered, he was sitting on a bench with his hands propped up on it. He looked gra
