Chapter 234
At this moment, in the restaurant downstairs, Elise and Dylan had finally finished their argument and gone to rest. Madeline looked up a recipe and decided to make chicken soup to warm everyone’s stomachs. It was for everyone to enjoy, and not just for Noah, the patient. As she was about to start cooking, she heard someone running out. She instinctively looked out the window and saw that Noah was getting ready to leave in his car.
It’s so late, where is he going? Madeline was curious and decided to follow him. However, she became anxious when she saw fear in his eyes. Why is he so frantic? Worry stirred in Madeline’s heart, and she decided to get into her car to tail him.
Meanwhile, Andy remained at Thomas’s side in the ward, fearful that Annalise would return to stir trouble. He vowed never to let the woman come close to hurting the boy.
When Noah burst into the room, he was relieved to see that Thomas was doing well, sitting in Andy’s lap, eating egg tarts, and drinking chocolate milk while watching a live stream of a game on the TV.
“How are you feeling, Thomas? Are you injured?” Noah rushed over to his son and inquired, concerned.
Thomas was stunned as he never thought that his father would come, let alone display weakness in just half a day of departure. But his father looked worried about him.
When the boy regained his senses, he responded on a whim. “Dad, I’m okay, don’t worry.” He reached out his little hand and touched Noah’s face, consoling him in a soft voice.
“Thomas, you spoke! That’s great!” Noah leaned over and hugged the boy, spinning around excitedly in the room. Thomas could feel the chill still lingering on Noah’s body from the night, but he knew that his father just wanted to hold him tightly and warm him up.
“Daddy, this is the milk that Uncle Andy just heated, drink it,” the boy offered.
Andy sensibly stood up and made room for Noah to sit next to Thomas. But based on his intuition as a doctor, he felt that the man did not look very well.
“Good boy, Thomas.” Noah sat down on the sofa with the boy on his lap. He was overjoyed to be able to spend time drinking milk and watching television with his son.
“Noah, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?” Andy asked.
“It’s nothing, just a slight allergy.” Noah dismissed his concern.
“Allergy? That’s not a small matter. Since Thomas is fine now, let me take a look at you,” he offered.
Noah declined, “No need, it’s already late. I’m here to accompany Thomas today. You can go back and rest.”
Andy was a little hesitant. Noah was the boss after all, and given his current weakness, he would not be able to defend himself if something happens. But Noah had always been wary of strangers. Moreover, Andy only offered a helping hand because of Madeline. There was no point in forcing Noah if he was not willing.
“I know my body best, Andy. You can go now,” Noah assured.
“Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable, please let me know. I won’t go anywhere tonight, I’ll be in the office,” the man replied.
