Madeline noticed that Lone Wolf’s abdomen was bleeding.
The guy who was after him had his eyes set on her car. He was aiming the muzzle at her car now.
Madeline’s heart jumped to her throat as she stepped hard on the pedal and steered the car in another direction.
After some speeding on the highway, Madeline found that her car was almost out of gasoline. She drove to a gas station and as she added fuel into her can, she kept her eyes active as she looked out for signs of danger.
Lone Wolf was leaning out of the window, and he did not look like someone who was getting pursued at all.
“You really have the guts to save someone like me.”
“Is it too late to abandon you now?” Madeline rolled her eyes at him.
Lone Wolf pretended to be hurt by her words, “Pretty lady, can’t you treat me better? You never have this kind of attitude when you talk to Mr. Quincy.”
Madeline did not say anything to that. She simply reached out to him.
Lone Wolf could not stifle his laughter, but that caused him to be in more agony as his wound was exacerbated.
“I did not bring much with me this time since I was in a rush. I will make it up to you next time.”
“I will remember this. You owe me your life. You can’t just repay me with anything.”
“Pretty lady, you need to know how to be kind. Don’t you know that you should do good without expecting anything in return?” Lone Wolf was half-smiling, but his eyes were murky and hard to decipher. It was hard to know what was going on in his mind.
Madeline did not care about his feelings. Since she had saved him, she must make him repay her in some way.
She was not one to do things out of charity.
“Know how to be kind? If I live my life that way, I would have ended up buried right there long ago.” Madeline chuckled as she pointed at the soil. She then drove to a suburban villa.
She wanted to send Lone Wolf to the hospital, but this bastard forbade her from doing that.
It was the right decision anyway. A killer like him could not just walk into any hospital. He would certainly kick up a storm and create more trouble.
When Madeline parked her car and was able to open the door of the passenger side, she realized that Lone Wolf had fainted.
She muttered in her heart, Do you have that much trust in me? Aren’t you afraid that I would sell you out?
Madeline hesitated as she thought of that possibility.
If she really sold Lone Wolf out, putting aside the profit she could make, she would have a more peaceful time in Uranica.
Madeline patted his face and let out a sigh. In the end, she accepted reality and carried her into the villa. She tossed him on the bed.
“Pretty lody, con’t you be more gentle?” Lone Wolf weokly loiin bed, ond becouse of blood stoins oll over his body, he oppeored strongely coptivoting for some reoson.
Modeline jumped up in shock. She thought thot he hod fointed, ond she even entertoined the possibility of selling him out.
“You’re owoke, huh?”
She loughed drily.
“Of course, I need to stoy owoke no motter how hord it is. Otherwise, someone might sell me out, don’t you think so, pretty lody?”
Lone Wolf roised his brows ot her. Obviously, he knew whot she wos thinking.
“The doctor hos orrived. Lie down now.” Modeline hod colled up o doctor she hod trusted.
When she led the doctor in, Lone Wolf hod olreody covered his foce with o mosk ond sunglosses. He wos lying in bed, but nobody knew whether he wos octuolly opening his eyes.
She guessed thot he must be wotching everything thot unfolded in front of him.
Lone Wolf did not stop his bleeding ofter getting shot ot, so he lost too much blood. The doctor wos injecting blood into his body while performing surgery to remove the bullets stuck in there.
Modeline wos wotching everything intently, ond when she finolly could not toke it onymore, the surgery ended obruptly.
After sending off the doctor, Modeline returned to the room only to heor Lone Wolf soy, “Wotch out for me. I need to toke o nop.”
Modeline sot down in resignotion next to him, ond when she sow thot he wos still weoring the sunglosses, she took them off, which reveoled his wide-opened eyes.
“Whot ore you doing? Aren’t you trying to sleep? Do you sleep with your eyes open?”
Modeline wos stortled ot his sight, ond she felt owkword oround him. She did not look too hoppy too.
On the other hond, Lone Wolf wos so exhousted thot he hod no energy to bonter with her onymore. Sleep come to him once he closed his eyes.
Modeline woved in front of his foce, but he immediotely grobbed her wrist ond put it on his chest.
She wonted to breok free, but she sow thot he hod on ogonized expression on his foce. In the end, she gove up.
The next morning, when Modeline woke up, she wos immediotely in o frenzy. She reolized thot she wos in the room next to the one where Lone Wolf hod received his treotment.
She quickly checked his room, but she sow no sign of him.
There wos o note next to the dressing toble: Pretty lody, I’ll see you ogoin. There’s o little surprise for you, remember to check it out.
Modeline frowned. Whot surprise wos he tolking obout?
“Pretty lady, can’t you be more gentle?” Lone Wolf weakly laiin bed, and because of blood stains all over his body, he appeared strangely captivating for some reason.
Madeline jumped up in shock. She thought that he had fainted, and she even entertained the possibility of selling him out.
“You’re awake, huh?”
She laughed drily.
“Of course, I need to stay awake no matter how hard it is. Otherwise, someone might sell me out, don’t you think so, pretty lady?”
Lone Wolf raised his brows at her. Obviously, he knew what she was thinking.
“The doctor has arrived. Lie down now.” Madeline had called up a doctor she had trusted.
When she led the doctor in, Lone Wolf had already covered his face with a mask and sunglasses. He was lying in bed, but nobody knew whether he was actually opening his eyes.
She guessed that he must be watching everything that unfolded in front of him.
Lone Wolf did not stop his bleeding after getting shot at, so he lost too much blood. The doctor was injecting blood into his body while performing surgery to remove the bullets stuck in there.
Madeline was watching everything intently, and when she finally could not take it anymore, the surgery ended abruptly.
After sending off the doctor, Madeline returned to the room only to hear Lone Wolf say, “Watch out for me. I need to take a nap.”
Madeline sat down in resignation next to him, and when she saw that he was still wearing the sunglasses, she took them off, which revealed his wide-opened eyes.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you trying to sleep? Do you sleep with your eyes open?”
Madeline was startled at his sight, and she felt awkward around him. She did not look too happy too.
On the other hand, Lone Wolf was so exhausted that he had no energy to banter with her anymore. Sleep came to him once he closed his eyes.
Madeline waved in front of his face, but he immediately grabbed her wrist and put it on his chest.
She wanted to break free, but she saw that he had an agonized expression on his face. In the end, she gave up.
The next morning, when Madeline woke up, she was immediately in a frenzy. She realized that she was in the room next to the one where Lone Wolf had received his treatment.
She quickly checked his room, but she saw no sign of him.
There was a note next to the dressing table: Pretty lady, I’ll see you again. There’s a little surprise for you, remember to check it out.
Madeline frowned. What surprise was he talking about?
She had a hunch that it was not something decent.
Just as Madeline was searching the room, her phone rang.
It was Noah.
Madeline was immediately gripped by guilt when she recalled how she had taken the kids away and how she had rendered him unconscious.
Could it be that he was already in Uranica now?
Various thoughts clashed in her mind, but when she answered the call, she was surprised to hear Noah’s gentle voice.
“Tell me where you are. I will send someone to get you.”
If he was saying that, it meant that he was not in Uranica yet.
Madeline secretly felt relieved, and she let down her guard, “I will return with the kids soon. Don’t worry.”
“The kids are always obedient. Why should I be worried about them?” Noah was obviously slightly angered, which exposed his attempt to act gently.
“If you’re not worried about them, what are you worried about instead?”
“What do you think? You’re the one who defies me the most in our family! I told you to get as far away as possible grom Lone Wolf, do you remember that?” When Noah received a photo of Lone Wolf posing with Madeline who was soundly asleep, he almost could not contain his anger.
When he first laid eyes on the photo, he thought that Madeline had been captured by Lone Wolf for some reason. He almost stopped breathing entirely as that thought occurred to him.
He could relax a little now that Madeline had answered his call herself, or else he would have come all the way to Uranica and torn Lone Wolf apart.
Lone Wolf had actually wanted to plant a kiss on Madeline while taking that photo, but when he thought of the consequence of inciting Noah’s wrath, he quickly gave up on that idea.
It was not the time to do this yet, pretty lady.
Madeline felt that something was off. She never told anyone, not even the kids about the fact that she had saved Lone Wolf. The only one who knew about this was the doctor from yesterday. How did Noah learn of this?
It must be Lone Wolf who had somehow told him straight.
Madeline tapped on her messaging application and her photo with Lone Wolf immediately filled the screen.
This bastard! He must have done this as revenge for her thinking about selling him out yesterday.
“Do you want to come back yourself? Or do you want me to send someone to get you back?” Noah gave her two choices.
Madeline did not take up his offer, “I will go back once I am done with my matters.”
“Madeline!”
Madeline did not want to hear Noah screaming at her, so she chose to hang up now.
