Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 154

Aggresive Wife Chapter 154

Elise felt as if Madeline had given her a physical slap with her words.

“You girls keep chatting, I’m going to look for Dylan. I’ll come visit you again at night,” Noah said as he noticed his cue to leave. He was secretly pleased to find out that Madeline had been vying for his concern, as revealed by Elise just moments ago.

Of course, his self-satisfied smirk did not go unnoticed by Madeline. She knew the douchebag was probably having some delusional, narcissistic thought about himself once again. Then again, there was no harm in letting him know how she felt. She had once loved him so much that it ended up costing a life. It was only natural that she had her guards up now, she told herself.

…

Wayne quickly approached Noah as soon as he saw his boss leaving Madeline’s room. “Sir, you guessed right. There was indeed a secret path at the bottom of the mountain lake. Lone Wolf must have used that path to escape!” he informed Noah.

“Get the special forces to search the city thoroughly. I want him alive,” Noah instructed.

“Yes, Sir. I’ll get on it! But Sir, didn’t you say that the Lone Wolf will come for us himself if he was still alive? Why do we have to search him out?” Wayne asked out of curiosity. After all, the Quincy’s special forces was a secret operation. The Quincys never mobilized them unless it was absolutely necessary. For Noah to request their services, something big must have happened.

“He has something I need. Just do as I say,” Noah responded curtly. Noticing Noah’s solemn expression, Wayne did not dare to poke any further. He quickly left to carry out Noah’s orders.

Once Wayne had left, Noah took the elevator up to the top floor, where the hospital’s director’s office was situated. This hospital was a branch of the Imperia Community Hospital. It was a public medical research hospital but privately funded by affluent benefactors. Most of the patients who came here were either from wealthy families or had a complicated disease. Apart from the director’s office and a resting lounge, the rest of the top floor was occupied by sophisticated medical labs almost like the one that Dylan Felch ran.

Andy Jones was as passionate about medicine as Dylan Felch was, but Andy was much better at management and innovation. Under Andy’s care, his medical labs had produced many medical prodigies. He was a capable doctor himself but building an entire army of doctors who each had their own strengths was a much more impressive achievement. He could utilize any one of these doctors in different situations, and they could band together when a situation demanded for it.

Dylan was a little envious of Andy when he first visited Andy’s lab and noticed the teamwork between his doctors, unlike Dylan who had always worked solo. However, he was not in the mood to dwell on his insecurities today as he had just gotten hold of Madeline’s lab report. Together with Andy, they holed up in Andy’s office as they pored through the results of the report. As Noah entered Andy’s office, the two men were sitting quietly in front of a computer, looking through a screen filled with indecipherable numbers.

“Dylan, any update?” Noah’s voice cut through Dylan’s thoughts.

“Yes, uhh, no… Not really…” Dylan mumbled dazedly as he nodded his head one moment and shook it the next.

It was him who caused Madeline to seize up while she was driving! It was him who caused her to get kidnapped! It was him who gave Lone Wolf the opportunity to inject her with a drug that made her condition worse! His heart raced as he realized the gravity of his actions, and he felt something bubbling in his throat. Without warning, he heaved and coughed out a huge amount of blood on the floor.

“Noah!” Dylan exclaimed in shock.

“Sir!” Andy echoed.

Dylan rushed over to support Noah who had almost fallen over. “Noah, don’t worry. I promise you we’ll treat Madeline back to health no matter what it takes!” he reassured Noah out of desperation.

Andy quickly came to their aid too. The both of them sat Noah down on the sofa and gave him some breathing space. Slowly, the redness in his eyes and the angry veins in his neck began to subside. Andy went out to the lab to get some medication for Noah while Dylan stayed behind, not daring to leave his side.

“Dylan, it was all my fault. I tried to scare her by taking Thomas away. I caused her seizure, allowing Lone Wolf to take her away! It was all me! I promised to make it up to her and treat her well, but I ended up hurting her the most…” Noah was a blustering mess. “It’s all my fault!!” he cried out, his eyes welling with hot tears.

Dylan Felch had only seen Noah this weak and dejected once in his life. That was the day he thought Madeline had died. Noah had gone through plenty of tribulations as a child, going up against his scheming uncles. As a result, it had hardened and detached him from most things and people. However, on that day five years ago, that same man had stood on the ledge of the top floor of the Golden Dome building, ready to meet his wife in the afterlife. If it was not for Colton’s cries, Dylan was certain Noah would have made the jump. Today was the second time in his memory that Dylan saw Noah in such a state. Dylan held on to his arms as he sank into a pit of worry.
