Chapter 9 I Can Make You Hurt Even More
Dylan was quick to react. He knew that Madeline Grant was not a name Noah wanted to hear.
Despite that, Dylan was unable to control himself as he was charmed by her looks.
Without even glancing at the boy in his arms, he immediately passed the boy to Noah and said, “I’m sorry, it must have been a mistake. You look a lot like a friend I know. I’m Dylan. Please don’t misunderstand, this is not my son. I’m still single. In fact. I take in a 7-figure salary monthly. Why don’t we be friends?”
It was then that Thomas realized how popular his mother was. Anyone who set their eyes on her were immediately charmed by her looks.
Even though Uncle Dylan was not very smart, he looked like the kind and caring type that Thomas can get behind.
Dylan might not be able to compete with the bigwigs from overseas, but as long as his mother liked him, Thomas would support both of them getting together.
Thinking about the possibility, Thomas started winking towards his mother.
Standing at the side completely ignored by everyone,Noah’s face contorted further in anger. He gave Dylan the death stare and yelped, “Do you have a death wish, Dylan?”
Thomas, who was in Noah’s arms, could feel the palpable anger enveloping him. For a brief moment, he did not dare to even take a breath.
“You have 10 seconds to catch up to me! Or else say goodbye to your job with the Quincy Family!”
A 7-figure monthly salary?!
What nonsense! Noah could instantly turn the shameless braggart into a pauper if he felt like it!
Frightened, Dylan immediately ran after Noah!
He may be willing to lose his life, but he was not willing to lose his job.
Despite all that, Dylan was satisfied as he managed to get Madeline’s contact number.
After dealing with the duo, Madeline turned around and went back into the hospital room.
She knew Dylan was the family doctor for the Quincy Family, so why did he need to be at the hospital to do an examination? It was clearly an excuse for Noah to come and confront her and stir up some trouble.
Nevertheless, she made a call to Albert.
“Find out why Noah brought Thomas to the hospital. Did they dig out anything?”
She knew every single detail about the brat’s medical record as she had him do a check-up a few days ago. As far as she knew, Thomas was fit as a fiddle.
It was not long before Albert came back with his findings.
“Mr. Quincy suspected that Thomas has ADHD, so they had him examined! Apparently, Thomas drew a giant tortoise on Noah’s face. Who would dare to draw on Noah’s face, if not Thomas?”
“…”
Hearing that, Madeline could only cover her face in disbelief.
“Oh yeah, they did DNA testing too!”
Madeline’s face darkened.
Noah was definitely not to be trifled with. Thankfully, the little brat was his flesh and blood, so this mystery with Thomas would definitely keep them distracted for a while.
She wanted to text Thomas with some further instructions, but when she looked up, the little boy on the bed had woken up.
Colton’s face was covered in bandages. He was staring at Madeline with his big black sparkly eyes. There were tears welling in his eyes as fear, anxiety, and various other emotions flooded his mind.
His little mouth was sealed. He bit his lower lip tightly, refusing to speak.
“Are you awake, Colt?” How do you feel? Are you in pain?”
Hearing Madeline calling his name, a glimmer of spark appeared in his eyes. However, he soon closed his eyes again, bracing himself.
“Don’t worry, Colt. I’m not here to harm you. Believe me, with me around, no one will bully you any longer. Okay…?”
