Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat as soon as Noah said those words.

She quickly regained her composure, and when she looked up, she smiled lightly and said, “Of course, I know. It’s because I care about Colton, so I did my homework.”

Madeline was changing the subject deliberately, and Noah stood there quietly watching her put on a show, not believing a word she said.

“Really? Nobody in the outside world is aware that Colt is allergic to ginger. You are extremely resourceful.”

“You’re probably just overconfident in your security measures.” Madeline smiled sweetly but with a hint of malice.

Noah looked at her, wanting to say something, but the medical staff rushed in nervously.

“Ms. Grant! Your wound is open!”

“Prepare a bandage right away!”

For a while, the scene became chaotic as the doctor and nurses checked and bandaged Madeline.

Madeline looked up after having her wound re-bandaged and noticed Noah had already left.

She sighed but immediately frowned.

Noah was beginning to doubt her identity!

If he didn’t intend to test her, he wouldn’t have come here in the middle of the night.

Her response was also riddled with errors and inconsistencies because she was shocked to think clearly after learning about Thomas’ allergies. Even if Noah had no doubts before, she could well have planted doubts today.

She needed to make more headway quickly!

The ward quickly quieted down, and Madeline noticed an unread message on the phone, which Albert had sent.

She simply did not want to remain in the ward any longer.

Madeline quickly typed and replied to the message. Then, she stood up while enduring pain in every part of her body. After that, she changed her clothes and went straight to the basement.

Albert was nearby when he learned the news. He noticed Madeline exiting the elevator from a distance and parked the car directly in front of it.

He trotted out of the car, opened the door for Madeline, and waited for her to be properly seated before carefully closing the door and returning to the driver’s seat.

“What happened, Ms. Madeline? Your condition appeared to be worse than before. Would you like me to notify Andy?” Albert didn’t rush to start the car, instead looking at her with concern and asking.

Although Madeline was tired when he left in the evening, her face was not as pale as it was now.

Furthermore, Madeline’s face was covered in thick sweat.

“I met the killer just now. The wound opened, but everything is fine now, so you don’t need to tell Andy. Just let him look after Colt.” Madeline said lightly, then fastened her seatbelt and signaled Albert to start the car.

“What? A killer? Who sent him?”

“I’m not sure, but he appears to be the man who tampered with the car. He has good skills and appears to be a professional assassin.”

“This is far too dangerous, Ms. Madeline. Let me stay by your side and protect you from now on!”

“I’ll have to bother you about that, I guess.” This time, Madeline did not refuse.

She wasn’t sure she could take on the other party if he were a professional killer, let alone when she was injured.

She hadn’t finished what she had set out to do and didn’t want to die before completing her mission!

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me, Ms. Madeline. It’s my duty!” Albert was unusually stern and solemn.

“You just sent me a message saying you found Felix Turner, the special assistant in charge of looking after Grandpa at the time?”
