Chapter 172
Noah sat next to Madeline and took out a round tablet from his pocket. He then placed it on Madeline’s forehead. After the tablet came into contact with the temperature of the human body, it gave off a faint fragrance. In a few seconds, Madeline regained consciousness.
She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Noah looking at her nervously. She thought that it was a dream.
“Madeline, wake up!”
“Noah? Why are you here? You found me…” Madeline let out a sweet smile as she could not tell whether it was a dream or reality.
“I know you will find me!” She said proudly.
Suddenly, she felt that someone was pinching her face.
Ouch!
“Madeline, Madeline Grant!”
“Yes, I am!” Madeline replied while enduring the pain on her cheek.
She immediately got her consciousness back and realized that she was not dreaming!
“Noah Quincy?”
“Yes, that’s me. I finally found you. There is a bomb near us, and we’re running out of time. Can you try to stand up?”
“Bomb?” Madeline felt extremely confused, yet she complied with Noah’s orders. She then stood up by supporting herself against the wall.
She has gradually regained her energy.
“Yes, but don’t you worry. We still have six minutes left. Now, I need you to turn around and run as fast as you can out of this building, okay?”
Noah stood up and moved the hair out of Madeline’s face while looking at her affectionately.
“What are you waiting for? Run!” Madeline seized his arm and prepared to run out of the building.
She was cursing him secretly for being so unbothered.
Why is he being so affectionate when the bomb is literally going to explode?
Noah broke away from her grip and stood still in the same place.
“I still have some stuff to do. You must leave first.”
“No way, we are in this together. What else do you need to do? I can help you!” Madeline said determinedly and proceeded to grab his arm again.
“Madeline, I can’t go.”
Noah’s calmness made her anxious.
“What do you mean you can’t go? You…why are you wearing my bracelet?” She sensed a premonition once she said the bracelet on his wrist.
“Lone Wolf altered the bracelet into the bomb’s timer. Madeline, please listen to me…we don’t have much time left.”
Noah explained and tried to convince her patiently in a gentle manner.
However, Madeline was instantly enraged by what he said.
“No way! Why do you want to be the hero so badly? It’s just a bomb. I will defuse it!”
Stupid Noah, does he think that it’s very cool to attach the bomb to himself?
That is an actual bomb that will kill both of us in a few minutes!
“Madeline…”
“Shut up! I will get rid of this bomb, and we will be alive together. Otherwise, we will die together. Do you have some kind of savior complex? I will never owe you my life!”
Madeline shut him down and started to analyze the bomb that was attached to his body.
She was in immense panic, and she could not control her trembling hands when working on defusing the bomb.
The clock is ticking, and she is running out of time.
