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…?”

Hearing such a warm and caring voice, the boy opened his eyes again.

His tiny little eyes soon turned red, but he continued to hold his tears in stubbornly, refusing to cry.

He remembered this voice. It was the warm motherly voice he heard before he lost consciousness.

This was the lady that saved him!

If it was not for her, he would have perished in the hands of Angie.

Seeing how cautious Colton behaved, Madeline’s heart was torn to shreds. It broke her heart so much that she struggled to breathe.

“It’s okay, we can take it slow. I’ll bring you to have an examination first. If everything’s good, I’ll bring you home!”

Colton’s hand trembled violently in her hand when he heard the word home.

Colton only calmed down once Madeline explained to him that they were going to her house and not the Quincy residence.

Madeline did not dare to imagine what her son went through when he was with the Quincy Family.

At that moment, all Madeline could do was to hold Colton’s hand tightly, hoping to provide him a little sense of security. Her heart was hurting for him. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Since Noah started suspecting something was amiss, he would definitely not back down that easily. To complicate things further, Colt was awake. If both father and son were to meet, Noah would definitely piece the puzzle together.

It was clear that she had to leave the hospital with Colton immediately.

Without wasting any time, Madeline contacted Andy for a detailed examination on Colton.

Fortunately, it seemed like Colt was recovering well and his wounds did not worsen.

After the call, Madeline breathed a sigh of relief after being on the edge for so long. She ordered Albert to arrange for them to relocate to another place.

At the Grant residence, Angie just finished listening to Ronald’s report.

Trembling in anger, she lashed out by shoving everything in front of her to the ground.

“How dare they do that, kicking someone when they’re down!”

“Please calm down, Ms. Angie. The gossip kept trending even after we stamped the previous one out. Someone is definitely stirring the pot behind-the-scenes. They’re so good at hiding their tracks that we’re unable to dig up anything about them. With the charity dinner is upon us, we can only throw money at the problem until it disappears!”

“Of course I know the charity dinner is upon us! My absence at the dinner will only give credence to the gossip on the Internet! This will only leave an indelible stain on me for life!” yelled Angie, her face contorted with rage.

She had to attend the dinner to prove that the gossip was baseless!

More importantly, the asking price for stopping the gossip from trending was 500,000 dollars!

500,000 dollars!

Her bank account would be empty by then!

Who in the world would have known so much about her and even refused to let her out of their grasp?

She did not even have the time to deal with that Colton brat! How Angie wished she could clone herself.

Thinking about him, she asked, “Did Colton, that brat, spout any nonsense?”

“According to our men, he said nothing! However, Mr. Quincy has strengthened the security for the Quincy residence. He even assigned more personnels to protect Colton! It may be difficult for us to do anything about him now!”

“Settle that matter in the cemetery at once! Do not leave any traces behind!”

She was in no mood to figure out how that brat returned to Noah unharmed. As long as there were no evidence, even if the brat spilled the beans, she would be able to twist his words around to protect herself.

“At once! In regards to the gossip trending, Mr. Quincy did not seem to take it seriously! He still trusts you a lot. As long as this incident is resolved properly, your image in the eyes of Mr. Quincy should not be affected.”

After hearing that, Angie was a little relieved.

“Contact the charity committee, I’ll meet them myself tomorrow!”

She was willing to risk it all to ensure the success of her marriage into the Quincy family!
