NovelEnglishChapter 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.
However, Lorraine was nowhere to be seen.
"Mdm. Xander? Mdm. Xander!” he called out. From the corner of his eye, he noticed an overturned pot of flowers.
Madilyn had yet to realize what was going on. As she exited the car, she casually called out to her mother, “Mom? Mom! Didn't | ask you to get prepared ahead of time? Are you having trouble deciding what to wear again?” When they went out for dinner previously, Lorraine spent a lot of time picking out her outfit as she didn't want to embarrass Madilyn and Jonathan.
“Maddy, go upstairs and find out what's going on!” Jonathan's brows furrowed.
He noticed some peculiar dents on the ground that appeared to have been created by a walking stick.
Noticing her boyfriend's grave expression, Madilyn quickly put her guard up and hurried up the stairs.
They scoured every inch of the house, both indoors and outdoors, but Lorraine was nowhere to be seen.
Shock struck Madilyn like a bolt of lightning.
She tried calling Lorraine's phone, but it was in the living room.
“What happened?" She grew flustered.

Jonathan remained calm. The mansion was situated in the city, and with surveillance cameras scattered throughout the area, it was seldom targeted by thieves.
After entering the mansion, he noticed that none of the valuable items were missing. Lorraine's purse was still on the coffee table in the living room.
Thus, they could eliminate the possibility of thieves or robbers. Jonathan pondered over it before deciding to check the surveillance footage on the third floor.
Madilyn hurried after him.
The surveillance footage showed Lorraine engaged in a heated argument with Mildred, following which Norton directed his bodyguards to forcibly take Lorraine away with them.
Madilyn froze at the sight.
After what seemed like an eternity, her fury finally sprang to live.
She took deep breaths as her chest heaved, “I-It's that b*stard! How dare he abduct my mom? D*mn it!”
