Chapter 43
Dylan couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Sounds of approaching footsteps could be heard as he considered whether he should risk his life to ask Noah about it. The door was already open before Dylan could get up to open it.
Noah entered with an unconscious Madeline in his arms.
Dylan’s jaw dropped when he saw that. “Noah, what’s going on?”
“Dylan, she’s running a fever. Please hurry and check on her.”
Noah carried Madeline into the laboratory and carefully placed her on the laboratory bed after saying that.
“Running a fever?” Dylan was a doctor first and foremost, so he put his curiosity aside for the time being and hurriedly followed him.
Dylan conducted a preliminary examination and discovered that Madeline had a high fever from an infection in a wound on her arm.
Sterilization and subsequent treatment are required to treat the infection brought on by the wound.
Noah stood there watching Dylan remove the gauze from her arm. His focus was on her bloody wound when suddenly a gleam of fire appeared in his eyes. “Does that look like a burn injury to you?” he asked.
“Well, it does appear that way, and a significant impact must have caused the injury to the bone,” Dylan explained as he cleaned the wound.
Noah didn’t say anything else as he listened to Dylan’s explanation, but his heart was racing!
A burn injury with significant wound trauma!
That means Madeline was in the car that broke into Quincy residence that night before the car got detonated in Clearwater Lane!
Why did she go to Quincy residence? Was she there to see their kids?
Perhaps she was there to see him?
When this thought struck him, he thought he was going insane.
It was even crazier than when Dylan showed him the DNA test results!
After carefully disinfecting and rebandaging Madeline’s wound, Dylan gave her an anti-inflammatory drip. He exhaled a sigh of relief and left the laboratory after that.
Noah sat on the sofa in the living room outside the laboratory. He was deeply lost in a daze, which was unusual for him.
He was so engrossed that he didn’t notice Dylan approaching.
“Noah, when did you get so close to Madeline? Why wasn’t I aware? I texted her the day before yesterday to invite her out to dinner. No wonder she ignored me. You were the one who was impeding my relationship. Why? You decided to move on with a new woman after discovering Angie’s true nature, huh?”
“You want to ask her out?”
“Of course I do! She’s stunning—exactly my type!” Dylan made no secret of his feelings for Madeline.
“No!”
“Why not? Noah, please don’t tell me you like her.”
“She’s Madeline.” Noah’s words had a heavy weight on them.
“I know. I added her on Instagram that day at the hospital’s entrance…”
“As I said, she’s Madeline!” Suddenly, Noah repeated it in a grave tone. Dylan’s sloppy smile instantly froze when he looked at him!
“Noah, are you saying…” Dylan realized that Noah wasn’t against the name but that this woman was the Madeline from before.
The one and only Madeline Grant.
“Yes, my ex-wife is still alive.”
