Chapter 525 There's a Problem With the Child
"Grandpa, don't we have a live-in family doctor?"
Wilda turned her gaze toward Shane.She had a puzzled look in her eyes as she couldn't fathom why Shane would not provide Noah with some medication.
"The doctor fainted.Also, we don't have any medication at home at the moment," Shane replied flatly.
Although Wilda would sometimes respond to Shane's words with clever retorts, she had not once questioned the elder's decision and authority.
Wilda silently cast an apologetic look in Noah's direction.
Noah dropped his gaze.
He wore an expression of dejection as he said in a slightly sorrowful voice, "It's alright, Ms.Harvey.I do not intend to make things difficult for you.It's just that my son is very young, so I'm worried about his condition."
Then, he heaved a deep sigh.
At that point, Shane was positively scowling at Noah.
How dare he spit out such lies and try to seduce my granddaughter right before my eyes?! Shane was about to snap at Noah when he felt Madeline's gaze on him.He could tell what she was trying to convey from the look in her eyes.You can yell at him all you want.If Ms.Wilda gets dragged into this because of that, we'll have one more person to hold against you.
"Grandpa, look at the poor young boy.Let's get him the medication he needs.Weren't you having a great time with him earlier? I think he's about the same age as Cousin Samuel's son."
Samuel Harvey was Wilda's eldest uncle's son.His father, Eliza's elder brother, had previously promised to help look after Eliza's child, but the man slipped into a coma after being involved in a car accident.
"Grandpa, you've always been very kind and generous.I'm sure it bothers you to see a young child like him in pain."
Wilda detected a slight change in Shane's expression, so she continued to persuade him in a pleading voice.
After a moment's thought, it seemed like Shane had a change of heart when he said, "Mr.Quincy can follow Wilda to get the medication.The rest of you are staying here."
Noah wanted to bring Madeline with him.
However, Madeline cast a furtive glance at him and signaled him to leave with Colton.
Can't you see that Colt's about to pass out at any moment?! "Let's go, Mr.Quincy."
Wilda followed Noah's gaze and looked in Madeline's direction.
However, Madeline had swiftly taken a step backward and hidden behind Gabriel.
"After you."
Noah gestured to Wilda and managed to turn her attention away from Madeline.
After the two of them left, Madeline and Shane stared at each other for quite some time.
Then, Shane started in a harsh tone, "You do realize that I'm not offering the medication for free, right?"
"Our child fell sick after having the food served during your birthday party.
Yet, you're shamelessly asking us for money when we haven't even asked you for compensation?! I wonder if all the other members of the Harvey family are as thick-skinned as you?"
Madeline's voice was heavy with biting sarcasm as her mood had turned sour.
Shane stuttered a little in exasperation, "You know what I mean! If you refuse to listen to me, I'll make sure that child doesn't receive the help that he needs until you do!"
"I get it now! You got my lil’ brother sick on purpose!"
Thomas finally understood the conversation between the adults upon hearing that threat from Shane.
In a flash, Mackenzie tied up the old man to his chair using her silver thread whereas Thomas released his bees to attack Shane.
The bees started stinging Shane wherever his skin was exposed.
Shane's bodyguards quickly went up to him to help free him from the chair.
However, they could not seem to cut the silver thread, no matter what tool they used to sever it.
The bodyguards also noticed that the bees were only attacking Shane.
In the end, they had no choice but to carry Shane, along with the chair, and run away to avoid the bees.
Some of the bodyguards tried to capture Thomas and Mackenzie.
However, Madeline, Lone Wolf, and Lucas moved to stand in their path.
Though we have what it takes to subdue these men, we're probably going to be stuck in here for quite some time.
It won't do us any good if we get into a prolonged fight now.
"That's enough.Call your bees back."
Madeline patted Thomas lightly on his shoulder.
