Chapter 823

When word spread about Andrew's disappearance, the Pill Pavilion had been deeply worried. Maxton had even pulled some strings to gather information, but his efforts turned up nothing. Lora, in particular, had been heartbroken for a long time. Now, seeing Andrew standing there alive and well, her joy was impossible to contain. Maxton heard the commotion upstairs and came down, grumbling before he even reached the hall. "What's all the noise about? Can't a man get a moment of peace without constant disruptions?" After a long pause, his expression softened into a grin, and he said warmly, "I told everyone there was no need to worry. And look, here you are, safe and sound." "Liar!" Lora interjected, exposing him without hesitation. "You were the most worried of all! Just last week, you even went all the way to Jandora to look for news. Don't think I didn't notice!" Maxton shot her a glare, clearly annoyed but unable to deny it. "You've got quite the mouth on you, don't you?"
