Chapter 692
It was Destiny speaking. Veronica figured that she was talking to Crayson.
Looking at the 'sleeping' woman, he kneaded his forehead with a solemn expression. "We've come this
far. We can wake her up when the night comes. Let her take a nap before we arrive."
"We've indeed gone quite far and she doesn't know the direction either. Why must we let her 'take a
nap' before arriving?" Destiny could not understand as she thought it was an overkill to do so.
"She’s too smart. If she discovers where the entrance is, she might escape one day." He sighed.
He had been sighing often lately. It could be because of how serious the situation was, or the sadness
he felt upon knowing that the moment Veronica joined the hidden clan, it would be the start of their
relationship petering out.
Regardless, it was the helplessness of making a sacrifice to protect everyone out of his sense of

Sensing Crayson's gloomy mood, Destiny comforted him, "Master, I think... she’ll understand your
decisions. Once she's willing to stay with us, we'll ask someone to send her children to us for a reunion.
Fortunately, Matthew's dead. If she has lingering feelings, she wouldn't wish to stay."
Speaking of that, she paused to gaze at the sleeping woman. "We should really thank Zac. If it wasn't
for him, we wouldn't have the
chance to execute Matthew."
"Enough! Don't you bring that up ever again! If Veronica finds out about it, she might kill you and even
me!" Crayson glared at her and snorted before leaving the room.
Knowing that she had angered him, Destiny hurriedly walked out of the room. "I'm sorry, Mr. Crayson. I
will be careful next time."
The moment the door closed, Veronica's eyes shot open and she stared out of the window. Shock,
pain, and horror filled her eyes.
Mixed feelings pervaded her heart and the agonizing pain perfused every part of her body as she was
trembling.
What happened after Matthew fell into the sea? Why don't they wanna tell me?
She was aware that Matthew did not tell her the truth. It was because he was afraid that she would fall
into despair with the pain crumbling her. In fact, she thought that his worries were groundless.
However, the pain felt so real at this very second. The memories she shared with Crayson conjured in
her head. His love, care, guidance...
Every scene flashed across in her mind like a movie as the pain was suffocating her.
Before she knew it, Veronica already got up from bed. Sitting right there blankly, she looked out of the
small window in rumination as agony doused her.
Even the air was laced with bitterness. It coiled around her and she could not get out of it as guilt was

If Matthew was really dead, she could not imagine what she would do upon discovering the truth. If that
event came to pass, she would be the cause for his death. Then, would she avenge him by killing
Crayson?
No. I don't think I can.
Thankfully, Matthew was still alive and she did not need to bear such hellish pain in making a choice.
Still, if she put it that way, Matthew had sacrificed so much for her. How was she supposed to repay
him for the rest of her life?
Her eyes were burning as she suddenly chuckled as if her whole life was a joke. The moment she saw
her very first light of the world, she had been living according to others' plans and never once was she
off-trail.
