Aggresive Wife Chapter 89

Thomas put on a playful expression and gave Madeline a peck on the cheek.

“Colt, Daddy’s home! Come, hug me!” Noah came back and saw the little boy cuddling Madeline’s neck. He wanted to join in and enjoy the happy family atmosphere.

“No! Daddy reek of alcohol!” Thomas wrinkled his nose and hugged Madeline’s neck even tighter, refusing to release his grip.

The man furrowed his brows and sniffed his clothing. “Since when did you have such an acute sense of smell? I only drank two glasses of wine. How did you even smell the alcohol?”

Thomas continued with his protest despite his father’s dull expression. He squeezed his nose shut and made a face. “Daddy stinks! Stay away from Auntie Madeline. She smells wonderful! I’ll sleep with her tonight.”

Amused by her son’s attempt to annoy his father, Madeline kept silent and watched his ploy play out. She decided to defuse the tension when she saw anger clouding the man’s features.

“Why don’t we keep it safe and let Colt spend the night with me?” the woman said mockingly. After glancing at Noah, she carried the little boy and headed to her room.

The poor man was left standing alone in the hallway. It was truly a disastrous day. Not only did he lose the argument with his son, but he was also accused of being a drunkard.

In the wee hours of the night, Madeline lay on the bed and watched her son sleeping soundly. She leaned over and tenderly tucked a strand of hair behind Thomas’ ear. Suddenly, a phone ring shattered the silence of the peaceful night.

“Colt is running a fever,” Andy said anxiously.

“I’m coming over,” Madeline said, frowning. She dashed to the basement, so frantic that she didn’t even hang up the phone. “What happened? Wasn’t he well in the day? Why is he suddenly down with a fever?”

It pained her heart to see Colton in a semi-conscious state and his face flushed with agony. As she held on to his tiny hands, she was astonished to find it icy cold.

“The medical report isn’t out yet, but it seems like he’s experiencing organ failure. He might have injured his organs when he had a hard fall earlier,” Andy reported. His eyes were glued on the vital signs monitor so he could keep a close eye on Colton’s condition.

“Organ failure? Wasn’t he recovering well? Why is this happening?” Madeline’s eyes turned bloodshot as she feared Colton’s situation would worsen.
