Chapter 173
"Yes, don't you know you have a daughter?"
"Daughter? I have a daughter? How many things are you hiding from me?”
Noah was utterly shocked by her words.
Madeline Grant, that wicked woman! If It isn't because I'm dying, I don't know how long she will hide
that from me!
"Want to know how much I have kept from you?"
"Of course."
"If we survive, I will tell you everything you want to know."
"Promise?"
"Yes, I promise!" Madeline nodded in desperation.
Noah stared at her and grinned.
Two minutes left.
It seemed like Madeline would not leave him alone no matter what!
"Madeline, do you trust me?"
"No, I don't trust men," Madeline said sarcastically.
She kept her head down, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
Even though she was encouraging Noah to not give up, deep down she knows that the bomb could not
be defused!
"I'll take that as an indication that you trust me!" Noah pushed Madeline out of the way and ran towards
the exit.
Madeline was stunned by his action, but she immediately knew what he was planning in his head.
"Noah, shit!"
How can he abandon Madeline to die alone?
"Beep, beep beep…."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe timer on the digital bracelet let out a beeping sound, indicating that there was one minute left.
Noah ran, as fast as he could, to the staircase and towards the exit.
Since Madeline insisted on not leaving, he brought the bomb away from her.
He wanted her to live, even if she would despise him for the rest of her life.
"Noah Quincy!"
Madeline stumbled to get up and ran in the same direction as him.
Before she could reach the staircase, a loud bang occurred, followed by a violent shaking of the
building.
The quake made Madeline lose her balance and roll down the stairs.
It stopped, but Madeline felt that her heart was crushed into pieces.
The bomb has already exploded.
Is he…dead?
Madeline lay on the floor, the light in her eyes diminished.
Words could not describe her despair.
The lights on the ceiling flickered and turned dark, just like her life.
Just as she lost her way in this darkness and was gradually swallowed by immense hopelessness, she
heard a sweet and melodious voice that made her open her eyes instantly.
"Mommy, mommy, I'm here to save you!"
“Thomas?” Madeline was surprised. She pushed herself up and looked at Thomas, who was wearing
a helmet with a headlamp.
"Why are you here?" She asked.
Am I dreaming?
“Mommy, don't be scared. I'm here to save you!" Thomas reached out his tiny hands and grasped her
hand tightly, attempting to pull her up.
Madeline held Thomas' hand and supported herself with the railings.
Her movement caused a sharp pain in the wound. She wanted to cry in pain, and the pain was a clear
indication that it was not a dream.
"Mommy, it looks like it's going to collapse soon. We must leave now!"
"Okay, let's go." Madeline nodded and carried Thomas in her arms. She endured the pain in her wound
and walked towards the exit.
When they reached the first floor, they realized that half of the hospital's front building has turned into a
flat land due to the explosion.
There was debris everywhere, and the place looked like a wasteland.
The wall near the basement where she was just now was far from the source of the explosion, so it
survived the disaster and was not affected.
"Thomas, have you seen daddy?"
"Daddy, he…"
"Noah! Yes, Noah Quincy!"
Madeline saw a pit formed by the explosion in the distance. It was surrounded by several people who
looked like bodyguards of the Quincy family. They seemed to be looking for something.
She felt nervous instantly and ran toward the pit after putting Thomas on the ground.
Before Thomas could finish his words, she had already left him. He felt confused.
He then turned around and stared at Dylan, who was talking to Noah.
"Daddy, what is going on with mommy?"
"Your mother, I think she likes me."
"What? Mommy likes daddy? Why is she running to the big hole?"
Is she digging a hole to bury Daddy? It sounds like a good idea.
"Mommy, l can help you!"
Thomas stretched out his legs and rushed toward his mother excitedly.
Dylan, who had just finished applying the medicine to Noah's wounds, could not help to complain about
Noah's idea.
"Noah, I don't think it's a good idea to fool Madeline like this. What if she can't find you in the pit? You
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwill be buried alive later when she sees you now!"
"You don't understand. That is a plan to strengthen the bond between us."
Dylan, who was single for a long time, felt offended by his words.
"Fine, fine, as long as you're happy. It was too much just now. You can't do this again. I'm afraid one
day I will die before I get married!"
"Dylan, thank you for showing up in time." Noah thanked him sincerely.
When Noah ran out of the building, Dylan arrived on time.
Fortunately, the signal on the digital bracelet was recovered when Noah came out from the building.
So, Dylan used the software on his mobile phone that is compatible with the digital bracelet to falsify
the heartbeat frequency. Then, he successfully removed the bomb from Noah.
They needed to get rid of the bomb to prevent another accident from happening, so they attached the
bomb to the phone and threw it at the barren land in the distance.
"Don't mention it, we're brothers."
"Well, Noah, my phone saved your life. Can I reimburse it?"
The mobile phone has been with him for many years. Not to mention that he has not replied to the
message of a lady whom he fancied.
At that exact moment, Noah thought of something, "Oh no, I think Madeline has been searching for me
in the pit for a while. I should go, or else, she's going to get really angry." Noah ignored Dylan and left
him alone.
I haven't reply her message! If anything goes wrong, you're definitely responsible for that!
On the other hand, Madeline stood in the pit and rummaged around like a lunatic.
Her body and hands were covered in dirt.
"Noah Quincy, Noah Quincy, come out!"
The bodyguards who were guarding the place were shocked by her actions.
After the explosion, the team led by Wayne was clearing up all the debris from the explosion non-stop.
So, they have no idea what Madeline was looking for.
They were extremely confused, but none of them dared to pop the question.
Wayne warned them to never upset Madeline, no matter what, as she was the love of Noah's life.
Noah marched toward Madeline and pulled her into his arms.
"My dear wife, are you looking for me?"
