Chapter 67
Was the footage fabricated? Perhaps it was suddenly deleted because it wasn’t solid evidence.
Noah felt his head aching as this thought filled his mind. He felt that he was starting to burn up from the inside. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and his consciousness began hazy. He sprinted towards the exit semi-consciously.
The Maple Forest Villa.
Madeline returned home after Thomas fell asleep back at the Quincy residence. She felt odd as Noah did not show up at the banquet. She wondered if Noah had found new leads.
Madeline stretched as she felt tired. She was preparing to take a bath before bed. As she went upstairs to her room, a figure pounced on her and pinned her to the bed.
Madeline was flabbergasted. As she was about to push the person away, she heard a faint voice. “Madeline… I’m sorry…”
“Noah?” Madeline asked. It was Noah’s voice. He remained motionless as he was seemingly drunk. “Noah, what are you doing in my room?” she uttered.
Madeline was confused as Noah was apologizing to her. She pushed him away forcefully and reached for the light switch.
Madeline could see that it was Noah after the room was lit. However, she had never seen him in this state. He appeared to have a fever and was not fully conscious. His clothes were a mess as if he had fallen.
Madeline was uncertain of what to do. “Noah, wake up. I’ll call Wayne to pick you up!” she said as it was the best option. As she pulled out her phone, Noah snatched it away. “Are you drunk or not?” Madeline uttered. She started to suspect that Noah was putting up an act.
“Give me back my phone! Huh? Why do you feel so hot?” Madeline said. As she was reaching for her phone, she accidentally touched Noah’s forehead. She placed her hand on his forehead again to confirm that he has a fever.
“How did you get a fever from being drunk? I’ll go grab some medicine for you since it’s your son’s birthday,” Madeline said. As she was about to leave, Noah held her down and kissed her forcefully.
As Madeline was trying to break free, she realized that something was off. She reached for the vase by the bedside and hit Noah on his head. He fainted after being struck.
Madeline held back to avoid injuring him. She pushed him with all her might to get him off her body. She took deep breaths to calm herself down.
