Chapter 176
“Hey, don’t move! Noah is fine!” After hesitating, Dylan decided to follow Noah’s request and temporarily conceal from Madeline that Noah was injured.
“Really?”
“Of course! I never lie.” Dylan looked at Madeline and talked nonsense with a serious face. Madeline was speechless. Looking at his confident expression, she felt something was wrong, but she had no evidence.
First-floor living room.
Noah walked down the stairs while holding onto the railing. Wayne immediately stepped forward to help Noah sit on the living room sofa.
“Sir, are you injured?”
“I’m fine. It’s just a slight injury. Have you settled Lone Wolf?”
“Yes, I’ve locked him at the base.”
“Okay, let’s go to see him now.”
“Sir, you are injured now. You can see him tomorrow. I will guard him by myself. He can’t run away!”
“The medicine in Madeline’s body needs to be clarified. I want to ask him about it. There is no delay!”
The unknown risk was the most frightening. Noah did not dare to take Madeline’s risk. If he could clarify that medicine, she would take less risk.
“Sir!”
“Don’t stop me! I know my body well.” Noah stood up and walked toward the outside of the villa.
“Wait…”
Wayne felt a headache. Noah was visibly pale, but he still insisted on going out. Seeing Noah was about to leave the villa, Wayne considered whether to rush up and beg Noah to stay. Suddenly, Madeline’s voice came from behind.
“Noah Quincy!”
“Yes, Mrs. Quincy. Any order?” Noah turned around when he heard Madeline’s voice, with a smile on his pale face.
“I’m hungry. Make me a pancake!” Madeline ordered Noah casually. Seeing Noah still standing on the spot, Madeline gave him a chance again. She asked, “What are you waiting for? You said you want to apologize to me. Are you going to give me an apology without taking any action?”
“Okay. I’ll make it now.” Looking at Madeline, Noah suddenly smiled dotingly. Then, he turned and walked into the kitchen. Wayne knelt to Madeline in his heart when he saw Noah following her order obediently.
Sure enough, only Mrs. Quincy can make Mr. Quincy stay!
“Mrs. Quincy, this is a new mobile phone for you. The card has been repaired. You can use it normally.” Wayne stood beside Madeline respectfully. The phone was ready long ago, but he forgot to give it to Madeline. He handed it to Madeline with both hands.
“Thank you.” Madeline directly took the phone from Wayne.
“You’re welcome. It’s my honor to serve you. Just order me when you need anything.”
“Okay.”
“Have a good rest. I’m going to help Sir make the pancake.”
Just as Madeline was thinking, she smelled the aroma of pancakes from the kitchen. She subconsciously opened the balcony door and returned to the house. From a distance, she saw Noah rolling up his sleeves and seriously putting a prepared pancake into a plate. He looked handsome with his skillful and elegant movements. Noah subconsciously raised his head as if noticing someone was looking at him. When he saw Madeline, he showed a warm smile.
“Madeline, come here.”
…
At Skeynia, in an ancient rose castle of the manor.
The wanton winding vines tightly wrapped the entire castle of the manor. The lights at night shone from the intertwined vines and flickered like the devil’s eyes protruding from hell. Underneath the castle, mottled stone steps went all the way down. There were three floors of underground space. With each lower floor, the environment became more humid and dark.
At this very moment, in the deepest part of the castle underground, Suzette was lying on a rusty iron bed in a small and dark room. She was diagnosed with a comminuted fracture all over her body by the doctor. If the doctor did not treat her in time, she would not survive for three days at most. Suzette stared blankly at the scarlet ceiling. The despair and fear had been occupying her brain. When she heard the sound of iron chains colliding at the door, she turned her head in panic. She looked at the person who came to the room and said tremblingly, “Help me…save me…please…”
Joseph opened the iron door and stepped into the room with a cane. He still looked like a gentleman, but he had an evil charm in his eyes that made people chill. Joseph answered, “Save you? That’s not a problem. But you need to give me a reason.”
“I never told Noah what happened back then. I didn’t betray you. I swear!”
“Keeping secrets was the condition for keeping you alive back then. Now that Noah has found out something from you. It doesn’t seem to be beneficial to keep you alive.”
“No, I have hatred. We have the same enemy. I think we can continue the cooperation.” Suzette swallowed and continued to get her chance to live.
“Well, I think what you say makes sense, but I don’t need to cooperate with a cripple.”
Joseph shook his head helplessly and turned to leave. Seeing that Joseph was going to leave, Suzette was anxious. So, she spoke out the secret she had buried for many years.
“I know who took away the secrets of the Quincy family back then!”
