Chapter 2009 Abducted
At five in the evening, Madilyn finally wrapped up her work. She went down the stairs, feeling exhausted.
She spotted Jonathan waiting for her with a bouquet of roses in his hand. The sight of him hurrying over to her filled her with warmth, and she couldn't help but smile, feeling her exhaustion begin to fade away.
“Dr. Xander, Mr. Queen, you're a couple now? Oh, this is great. You're a perfect match!”
“Congratulations, Dr. Xander! Your wish has finally come true. Mr. Queen proved to be a capable man when he helped us solve our crisis previously. That was quite manly of him!”
“Wow! Is Dr. Xander dating Mr. Queen for real? That's great! Congratulations, you lovebirds. When are you getting married?”
Madilyn and Jonathan were greeted by smiling medical staff who were getting off work, wishing them well and giving their blessings.
Madilyn wasn't shy at all even though they were the center of attention. She extended her hand and allowed Jonathan to take it, a joyful smile playing on her lips.
“Come, let's go pick Mdm. Xander up. We'll be eating something delicious tonight,” Jonathan told her. He had already reserved a table at a restaurant tonight. As they approached his car, Jonathan opened the door for Madilyn like a true gentleman, waiting for her to get in before he took his place behind the wheel.
Holding the roses, Madilyn was overwhelmed with happiness. Before he could start the engine, she suddenly said, “Come nearer!”
“What's the matter?” Jonathan asked, confused. He moved closer to her, assuming something was wrong with the roses.
In an instant, her lips landed on his right cheek, leaving a faint pink mark.
Jonathan was taken aback at Madilyn’s sudden action, but he quickly regained his composure and scratched his head awkwardly. A silly grin graced his face as he realized what had happened.
After the kiss, Madilyn felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment.
"Come on, let's go home and pick my mom up!” she urged.
Jonathan inclined his head. He then started the engine and drove out of the hospital.
They soon arrived at Madilyn’s neighborhood. From afar, Jonathan noticed the gates were wide open. Confusion flashed across his eyes.
He sped up and drove into the courtyard.
A sense of foreboding rose within him, so he started glancing around after getting out of the car.
