As Thomas’ phone screen unlocked, his conversation with Madeline was the first thing to pop up. Noah quickly glanced through Madeline’s messages.

“Thomas, where’s your Daddy?” the latest message from Madeline read.

Noah gave it all but a moment’s thought before sending Madeline his live location. He waited eagerly for her reply, but there was nothing but silence from her after a few long minutes. Noah put the phone back into Thomas’ pocket and stared at the ceiling in frustration.

Did she really ghost me after asking for my location? Noah wondered in irritation. Does she not care for me, even just a little? How hurtful! As these thoughts began to fill Noah’s mind, the door to the office suddenly flung open. He could recognize those footsteps any day. He quickly shut his eyes,

pretending to be asleep as Madeline walked into the office.

Madeline had figured out Noah’s location from the video Thomas had sent her earlier. However, she did not expect to find a sickly Noah lying on the sofa in Andy’s office, with Thomas sleeping by his side. She softened her strides, not wanting to wake either of them up. She wanted to carry Thomas into her arms, but she noticed the little brat grabbing on the Noah’s sleeve like his life depended on it. She could not tear them apart even if she tried, so she quickly abandoned the idea for the time- being.

She crouched down close to Noah, feeling his forehead just like he did for her not too long ago. It felt a little warm, so she decided to grab him a cold towel to bring down his temperature. Just as she turned away, someone grabbed

hold of her arm.

“Don’t go,” Noah’s recognizable voice called out.

“You’re awake?” Madeline turned back to look at Noah, but he was still lying there with his eyes closed, unresponsive to her question.

Madeline figured he was having a dream and tried to remove her arm from his grip once again. Noah was unexpectedly strong for a sleeping person, Madeline realized as she struggled to free herself from him.

“Let go of me, you brute! How am I going to grab you a towel like this?” she grunted. She was surprised and confused to find that Noah’s grip had loosened as soon as she said those words. Once again, she tried to leave, but once again, Noah’s hand would

tighten around her arm. She was beginning to suspect if Noah was doing this on purpose! She decided to test him.

There was a longstanding myth about people who pretended to be asleep; their eyelashes would quiver uncontrollably. Madeline tried to observe the movement of his eyelashes as she quietly approached his face, holding her breath to avoid stirring him. She was right! His eyelashes were quivering!!

“Noah Quincy, you…. Mmmm!!” Madeline began, but she was quickly cut off by a sudden kiss from Noah as he pulled her into his arms. Madeline was exploding with anger, feeling cheated by Noah’s antics.

“Noah, how dare you…” she scolded, but was once again interrupted by Noah.

“Shhhh, don’t wake the kid up!” he whispered as he placed a finger on her lips.

“I’m glad you know there’s a kid around. How can you act like such a brute in front of children?!” The more Madeline thought about it, the angrier she became. Noah had clearly taken advantage of her!

“You were so close to me, I thought I was dreaming…” Noah explained in earnest.

“You!” Madeline gritted out. She realized it was no use arguing against a brute like Noah Quincy, so she quickly freed herself before rushing toward Thomas. However, she was one step too late as Noah easily carried a sleeping Thomas into his arms.

“Madeline,” Noah began. “Do you… still

care for me? Even just a little?” He looked at Madeline hopefully.

“Of course I care for you, Noah. After all, you’re the father to my children. I hope you’ll live long and make more money so you can leave them a larger inheritance,” she replied coldly, rendering Noah speechless at her heartlessness.

She extended her arms, silently warning Noah to hand Thomas over. He obliged, carefully passing Thomas over and into her arms before he began to speak again.

“Madeline, I’m sorry, I didn’t think that taking Thomas away would give you a seizure attack. I wasn’t intending to split the two of you apart, I was just a little angry at the time…” Noah explained himself when he noticed Madeline was about to turn around and leave the

room.

“Mm,” Madeline muttered with her back toward Noah so he could not see the emotions clouding her face. She began toward the door when Noah’s voice filled the space between them once again.

“Could you… ever forgive me?” His voice was a brokenhearted plea.

“Noah, does it really matter if I forgive you or not? You’re Noah Quincy after all, and you never cared about how others feel,” Madeline bit out.

“It matters. It matters to me,” Noah responded.

“Fine. For the sake of our children, I’ll forgive you. Please stop disturbing my sleep with stupid videos,” Madeline told Noah off before turning around to give

him a fierce, hard stare.

However, Noah’s expression had changed slightly. “Huh?” he expressed

his confusion. What video? Did he miss something?

Suzette Grant was seething with rage as she found herself being turned away at Madeline Grant’s door after being cheated of $1 million, by Madeline herself no less. She had never suffered such disrespect in her life! She was unlucky to have been cheated by Elise, someone she thought was close to her and on her side. However, she did not expect Elise to be good buddies with Madeline too. This was clearly a set up!

Suzette refused to leave the grounds of Maple Forest Villa. The moment she bumped into Elise Lambert, she

promised herself she would not let Elise leave this place alive! However, before her plan for revenge could take place, Suzette noticed the gates to the villa opening and a few cars leaving the compound in a rush. It seemed like something big had happened!

As Suzette’s curiosity kicked in, she stealthily tailed the vehicles from behind all the way to the hospital where Madeline had been warded. Did that stupid wench fall sick? She snickered in glee as she considered the possibility. From the urgency of her staff, it seemed likely that something serious had happened to Madeline. An untimely death, perhaps?

Ha ha ha! Suzette knew it! Madeline Grant would never have the privilege of becoming the upper class wife she had always dreamed of becoming. Looks like she finally worked herself to death!

Suzette thought to herself as she parked her car and crept into the hospital.

She decided to do some investigating of her own as she quickly pilfered a nurse’s uniform from one of the changing rooms. If she found Madeline on the brink of death, she would quickly do her a favor. Madeline was just an illegitimate daughter of hers who despised her to no end. There was no benefit to Suzette if she let the

ungrateful wench live! She might as well die! Suzette sneaked in and out of the hospital wards one by one in search of Madeline Grant.
