When Madeline rushed to the window, she saw that Lone Wolf was surrounded by many bodyguards, and they were engaged in a heated battle.
Soon, a familiar-looking Rolls Royce rolled to a stop outside the apartment. Noah emerged from the car and was now stomping towards Lone Wolf with a no-holds-barred expression on his face.
Madeline quickly ran downstairs to get a good look at things. Although she didn’t know what Lone Wolf had injected into her body, she felt that her strength was returning. Lone Wolf must not die just yet.
“Pretty lady, do you miss me that much?” When Lone Wolf saw Madeline running toward him, he tossed a long golden thread that seemed to have a life of its own. The thread immediately wrapped around Madeline’s waist.
Noah suddenly appeared between them and grabbed the thread. The silky thin thread slashed open the skin on his palm.
Madeline gasped silently as she lashed out with her blade to cut that thread.
The thread was cut, and Noah immediately placed himself in front of her. His body was blocking her view of the battlefield.
“Pretty lady, I feel so sad seeing how you are repaying my goodwill. I will remember this debt, and you owe me one this time!”
Lone Wolf’s voice was getting softer and softer.
Madeline tilted her body and saw a motorcycle come flying into the battlefield where there were many bodyguards. Lone Wolf immediately rode on it and soon he was gone.
Strangely enough, Noah’s men only tried to chase after him for a short distance before all coming to a halt.
She stared at Noah questioningly, and Noah returned her gaze by also examining her. Then, without warning, he swept her off her feet and carried her into the Rolls Royce without saying anything.
In the car, Dylan and Andy were waiting with a custom first-aid kit.
“I am fine.” Madeline protested, but nobody was interested in her opinion.
Dylan and Andy quickly performed a check-up on her, and the result put a frown on Dylan’s face.
Noah’s voice was stern and infused with slight anger, “What’s going on? Speak now!”
“Don’t get so riled up. Maddie’s health is much better than before. It seemed that Lone Wolf has injected into her some drugs that can alleviate her condition.”
Dylan was no longer frowning after saying that. Instead, he was interested in the drugs that Lone Wolf had used. However, he wouldn’t want to broach this topic with Madeline at this moment.
He would definitely be killed by Noah.
“We will know more details if we perform a full check-up in the hospital. There might be some possibility of that drug having certain side-effects.” Andy kept his devices back in his case and he shot a look at Madeline as if he had more to say about the situation.
Madeline shook her head lightly at him to give him a signal so that he would stay mum.
While the car sped along the highway, Noah didn’t say much. He had a hideous expression on his face.
Madeline knew that he must be furious now. He was furious because her selfish action had put her and her children’s safety in jeopardy.
In fact, back in that suite, not only Mackenzie and Thomas had noticed that something was off about Annalise, Noah had noticed that too.
He had shot a look at Madeline so that she would understand and stay in the suite with Lucas. She had to look after the children. He would be the one to deal with Annalise.
However, Madeline had turned a blind eye toward his orders as she was worried about Annalise deceiving him. At the same time, she wanted to know whether someone was directing the whole episode behind the scenes. That was why she had ventured out to find out for herself.
However, that didn’t end well. She almost met her end in that suite that was filled with poisonous gas.
Indeed, she had underestimated her opponent. She didn’t take into account the fact that she was still sick.
Despite all that, she didn’t regret her actions. If Annalise was only putting a target on Noah’s back, she wouldn’t have interfered.
The matter of fact was that Annalise was now dragging her and her children into all this. She couldn’t just sit there and wait or obediently wait for Noah to protect her and her children.
Her past five years had trained her into an independent woman who rarely relied on others.
After they reached the hospital, Noah accompanied Madeline to go through a few examinations. Based on the results, she was injected with some other drugs too, but so far, those drugs didn’t have negative effects on her body.
Despite the reassurance of the hospital, Noah couldn’t just feel at ease just yet. He wanted to get his hands on the original drug so that Dylan could look into it.
“I will go get that drug from Lone Wolf myself.” Madeline had seen through Noah’s thoughts. She wouldn’t want the two of them to bump into each other again.
This was because she suspected that there must be some kind of connection between Lone Wolf, the drug, and Trenton.
After all, Trenton had warned that she would live a long, long life, but it was a life in extreme agony.
Noah was struggling to maintain his composure and he looked very tense. He was only able to produce some words after a while, “Even if you are not in the equation, I still have a score to settle with him.”
“You know that he’s good at hiding his tracks. What about letting me secure his location? After getting my hands on the drug, I will pass him to you. What do you think?” Madeline proposed.
However, Noah seemed to take this the wrong way as his voice sounded even angrier than before. To be more precise, he sounded a little unlike his usual self, “It seems that you were getting along quite well with him in the past few hours, huh? Why, do you fear that I will kill him?”
“He has a drug that could potentially save my life. Of course, I wouldn’t want him to die.”
“While he has your life-saving drug, so do I. I have his life-saving drug, so you don’t need to look for him.
We will wait for him to show himself one day.” After saying that, Noah abruptly carried Madeline off her feet once again.
Madeline was startled by his action. Just as she was about to get into a scuffle with him, her eyes met his jet-black eyes. She immediately stopped her futile struggles.
His eyes were written with worries and helplessness.
When she was still in a daze, Noah had already stood up. He purposely jerked her lightly upwards. Madeline instinctively wrapped his arms around his neck.
Only then did he finally reveal an imperceptible smile.
“Mr. Quincy, you really have some weird perversions.” Madeline knew that the more she writhed around in his arms, the more Noah would see this as a little game between them. Therefore, she would rather give up and just lie in his arms.
Nevertheless, Noah was still a handsome guy. Not only he was good-looking, but his figure was also flawless too. She wouldn’t feel too bad about staying in his arms.
“This is just some harmless fun between husband and wife.” Noah was expressionless when he said that.
“Mommy! Mommy, are you alright?” Thomas barged into the room, and he bumped his head on Noah’s knees.
He almost lost his balance, but Colton who was behind him helped him to regain his balance.
“Ugh, daddy, you always have your eyes on mommy. Can’t you show a little love to your son too? I almost get sent flying away by your long legs.”
Thomas was rubbing his nose with a pitiful expression on his face.
Suddenly, Madeline’s expression shifted drastically. She patted Noah’s shoulders to signal him to put her down.
Noah followed her gaze and realized that there was blood coming out of Thomas’ nose.
“You are really careless.” Mackenzie wiped the blood with her handkerchief while she said that.
Andy immediately carried Thomas and ran off to another ward.
Outside the ward, Noah and Madeline’s eyes met. The two of them couldn’t hold off their laughter as they burst out laughing at the same time.
“There is no next time. Next time before you venture into some adventure, think of me and the kids. What if something were to happen to you? Where would that leave us?”
This time, Madeline really saw real concern in Noah’s eyes. He looked like he was still recovering from the fear of losing her just a while ago.
They always said that Mr. Quincy was even crueler than the God of Hell. There was nothing in the world that would induce fear in him.
Despite that, it turned out that what he feared most was losing her.
