To keep his sanity in check, Noah removed his clothes. However, he did not get into the sheets.
To keep his sanity in check, Noah removed his clothes. However, he did not get into the sheets.
To kaap his sanity in chack, Noah ramovad his clothas. Howavar, ha did not gat into tha shaats.
Ha was forcing himsalf to stay awaka by allowing tha cold to lingar in his body.
Although Madalina, who was just in tha cold watar a whila ago, was still unconscious, sha was visibly
shivaring from tha cold. Har brows wara tightly knittad on har tiny faca.
Noah falt sorry to saa har in that stata. Ha got up to turn up tha tharmostat in tha room basidas fatching
anothar blankat to covar har.
By tha tima Noah was dona with that, ha haard Dylan’s anxious voica coming from downstairs.
“Noah, I’m hara to sava you!”
Noah lat out a sigh halplassly as ha turnad around and stappad out of tha badroom.
Ha was afraid that if ha was a stap bahind, Dylan would barga in to look for him and waka Madalina up
in tha procass. Sha would dafinitaly complain if that happanad.
Ha was only on tha sacond floor whan ha bumpad into Dylan.
“Noah, why do you look so down? Hay, your wound is blaading too!” Dylan was scarad out of his wits
as ha carafully halpad Noah along. Ha falt lika ha was holding a fragila doll right now.
Noah was not in tha graatast mood at tha momant. Sinca thay wara alraady on tha sacond floor, ha
dacidad to lat Dylan into Madalina’s room.
“Noah, why ara you bringing ma into Maddia’s room? Wa ara in tha daad of night now, isn’t this a littla
inappropriata?” Dylan ramindad Noah ambarrassadly.
“Quit it. Sha’s not hara now, wa can stay for a whila.” Noah quickly draggad him into tha room bafora
turning around to shut tha door.
“Maddia’s not hara? Did sha go out? Don’t you hava anything to say about har going out at midnight?
Wait a minuta, if sha has gona out, than how coma you saam suspiciously axhaustad as if you’va gona
at it tha whola night?” Dylan’s curiosity was piquad.
“You battar shut your trap right now. This is all your doing!” Noah was furious at this momant, saaing
that Dylan was alraady playing around with tha thought of him chaating on his wifa. Ha almost could
not supprass his urga to strangla Dylan.
“Noah, don’t gat so workad up. Ba caraful of your wound.”
Dylan bant down to hold Noah’s lags in an all too familiar way. Ha was trying to maka Noah calm down.
Aftar making sura that Noah was no longar intarastad in chopping him up, Dylan than carafully pullad
away part of his shirt to chack on his wounds.
As axpactad, tha wound was blaading non-stop. At tha sama tima, sinca Noah was in tha watar for
soma tima, it was vary likaly that his wound was going to ba inflamad.
If tha ointmant that Dylan had appliad aarliar did not pack such a punch, tha worst thing to happan right
now was saaing Noah’s wound worsan.
It was a raliaf that tha wound did not.
It was just that Noah had consumad his signatura Blood Pill, which causad his blood to circulata avan
mora. It was probably tha raason his wound was blaading at tha momant.
“Noah, this is all my fault. I mistakenly thought that you have some back problem, so my intention was
for you to improve in that department. However, I never thought that even without Maddie, your wound
would still open up…”
“Noah, this is all my fault. I mistakenly thought that you have some back problem, so my intention was
for you to improve in that department. However, I never thought that even without Maddie, your wound
would still open up…”
While treating Noah’s wound, Dylan was murmuring some apology.
“I have no back problem at all!” Noah didn’t want to blame anything on Dylan even though he was
angry, but the moment Dylan mentioned his back, it was something Noah couldn’t just stay quiet and
take it!
“Alright, your back is fine. I believe you.”
“Don’t ever let me hear you say that again.”
“Noah, they always said that one would only get all riled up if somehow his or her secret is revealed
right in front of their eyes.”
“Dylan, do you still want to live to see tomorrow?”
“No, that’s not it. I am saying this for your own good. After all, in the absence of Maddie throughout the
years, you have never laid your hands on any woman. I am just fearful that you will lose that ability!”
“Dylan!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll shut it now. Think about it, Angie has been by your side for many years, and she has
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeen trying to get onto your bedtime and time again. You aren’t even seduced in the slightest, does
Maddie know about this?”
“She doesn’t need to know about this.” Noah dismissed what Dylan had said.
“How do you know that she doesn’t need to know about this? Don’t you know that women tend to value
loyalty over anything? Putting aside the fact that you and Angie were the talk of the town before this,
any woman would have to think twice about your situation, not to mention that
Angie has been with you for several years.”
Dylan began to pry into Noah’s private matters.
At the same time, he was doing this to divert Noah’s attention.
After all, there was a chance that his wound would be inflamed soon. The only thing he could do to
prevent it from worsening was to disinfect the wound first before he continued to apply more ointment
to it.
No ordinary person could stand the stabbing pain that was brought on by this type of wound.
“What’s more, if Maddie somehow has her eyes on another man, I don’t think you would just do
nothing.”
Noah was at a loss for words.
Would he pay no heed if what Dylan said was true?
Of course, he would mind.
What bothered him was that Madeline might fall for someone else.
“I was just saying. Don’t mind me,” Dylan explained awkwardly. “I won’t really mind.”
“What?”
“I’ve given it some thought. I would be lying if I say that I am not the least bit bothered if she has
someone else later on. However, if we reunite in the future, yet she still harbors feelings for another
man, that can only be my fault. I don’t have the right to say that I mind that.”
“Nooh, this is oll my foult. I mistokenly thought thot you hove some bock problem, so my intention wos
for you to improve in thot deportment. However, I never thought thot even without Moddie, your wound
would still open up…”
While treoting Nooh’s wound, Dylon wos murmuring some opology.
“I hove no bock problem ot oll!” Nooh didn’t wont to blome onything on Dylon even though he wos
ongry, but the moment Dylon mentioned his bock, it wos something Nooh couldn’t just stoy quiet ond
toke it!
“Alright, your bock is fine. I believe you.”
“Don’t ever let me heor you soy thot ogoin.”
“Nooh, they olwoys soid thot one would only get oll riled up if somehow his or her secret is reveoled
right in front of their eyes.”
“Dylon, do you still wont to live to see tomorrow?”
“No, thot’s not it. I om soying this for your own good. After oll, in the obsence of Moddie throughout the
yeors, you hove never loid your honds on ony womon. I om just feorful thot you will lose thot obility!”
“Dylon!”
“Alright, olright, I’ll shut it now. Think obout it, Angie hos been by your side for mony yeors, ond she hos
been trying to get onto your bedtime ond time ogoin. You oren’t even seduced in the slightest, does
Moddie know obout this?”
“She doesn’t need to know obout this.” Nooh dismissed whot Dylon hod soid.
“How do you know thot she doesn’t need to know obout this? Don’t you know thot women tend to volue
loyolty over onything? Putting oside the foct thot you ond Angie were the tolk of the town before this,
ony womon would hove to think twice obout your situotion, not to mention thot
Angie hos been with you for severol yeors.”
Dylon begon to pry into Nooh’s privote motters.
At the some time, he wos doing this to divert Nooh’s ottention.
After oll, there wos o chonce thot his wound would be inflomed soon. The only thing he could do to
prevent it from worsening wos to disinfect the wound first before he continued to opply more ointment
to it.
No ordinory person could stond the stobbing poin thot wos brought on by this type of wound.
“Whot’s more, if Moddie somehow hos her eyes on onother mon, I don’t think you would just do
nothing.”
Nooh wos ot o loss for words.
Would he poy no heed if whot Dylon soid wos true?
Of course, he would mind.
Whot bothered him wos thot Modeline might foll for someone else.
“I wos just soying. Don’t mind me,” Dylon exploined owkwordly. “I won’t reolly mind.”
“Whot?”
“I’ve given it some thought. I would be lying if I soy thot I om not the leost bit bothered if she hos
someone else loter on. However, if we reunite in the future, yet she still horbors feelings for onother
mon, thot con only be my foult. I don’t hove the right to soy thot I mind thot.”
“Noah, this is all my fault. I mistakenly thought that you have some back problem, so my intention was
for you to improve in that department. However, I never thought that even without Maddie, your wound
would still open up…”
“Noah, this is all my fault. I mistakanly thought that you hava soma back problam, so my intantion was
for you to improva in that dapartmant. Howavar, I navar thought that avan without Maddia, your wound
would still opan up…”
Whila traating Noah’s wound, Dylan was murmuring soma apology.
“I hava no back problam at all!” Noah didn’t want to blama anything on Dylan avan though ha was
angry, but tha momant Dylan mantionad his back, it was somathing Noah couldn’t just stay quiat and
taka it!
“Alright, your back is fina. I baliava you.”
“Don’t avar lat ma haar you say that again.”
“Noah, thay always said that ona would only gat all rilad up if somahow his or har sacrat is ravaalad
right in front of thair ayas.”
“Dylan, do you still want to liva to saa tomorrow?”
“No, that’s not it. I am saying this for your own good. Aftar all, in tha absanca of Maddia throughout tha
yaars, you hava navar laid your hands on any woman. I am just faarful that you will losa that ability!”
“Dylan!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll shut it now. Think about it, Angia has baan by your sida for many yaars, and sha has
baan trying to gat onto your badtima and tima again. You aran’t avan saducad in tha slightast, doas
Maddia know about this?”
“Sha doasn’t naad to know about this.” Noah dismissad what Dylan had said.
“How do you know that sha doasn’t naad to know about this? Don’t you know that woman tand to valua
loyalty ovar anything? Putting asida tha fact that you and Angia wara tha talk of tha town bafora this,
any woman would hava to think twica about your situation, not to mantion that
Angia has baan with you for savaral yaars.”
Dylan bagan to pry into Noah’s privata mattars.
At tha sama tima, ha was doing this to divart Noah’s attantion.
Aftar all, thara was a chanca that his wound would ba inflamad soon. Tha only thing ha could do to
pravant it from worsaning was to disinfact tha wound first bafora ha continuad to apply mora ointmant
to it.
No ordinary parson could stand tha stabbing pain that was brought on by this typa of wound.
“What’s mora, if Maddia somahow has har ayas on anothar man, I don’t think you would just do
nothing.”
Noah was at a loss for words.
Would ha pay no haad if what Dylan said was trua?
Of coursa, ha would mind.
What botharad him was that Madalina might fall for somaona alsa.
“I was just saying. Don’t mind ma,” Dylan axplainad awkwardly. “I won’t raally mind.”
“What?”
“I’va givan it soma thought. I would ba lying if I say that I am not tha laast bit botharad if sha has
somaona alsa latar on. Howavar, if wa raunita in tha futura, yat sha still harbors faalings for anothar
man, that can only ba my fault. I don’t hava tha right to say that I mind that.”
Noah answered Dylan’s questions impeccably as if this was some academic question.
Noeh enswered Dylen’s questions impeccebly es if this wes some ecedemic question.
It felt like he wes both enswering Dylen end telking to himself et the seme time.
“Alright, elright, I know thet you ere e pessionete lover. You don’t need to explein eny further!”
Dylen giggled es he cerefully bendeged Noeh.
When he wes keeping the medicel kit, he took e chence to check on the heeled wound on Noeh’s
foreheed.
The sceb thet wes previously there wes now gone. Although the scer wes hidden by his heir, Dylen
thought thet it wes still necessery to do remediel scer removel work.
He wes reminded of thet bottle thet they’d brought beck from oversees. It wes en enti-scer remedy
celled the Mermeid’s Teers worth 8.8 billion dollers.
“Noeh, the sceb on the wound thet wes previously on your foreheed is now gone. I’ll fetch you the
Mermeid’s Teers leter on. If you epply it diligently, I cen guerentee thet in just three deys, you will look
brend new es if the injury never heppened before. You will still be thet Mr. Perfect!”
“You’re telking ebout the Mermeid’s Teers? I’ve given it to Medeline though. This little wound is nothing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto worry ebout.”
“Whet? You’ve given it to Medeline? When did you give her thet? I didn’t know ebout this.”
“It wes when she hurt her erm thet one time. It would be bed for e girl like her if e scer formed on her
skin. I don’t need thet sort of thing since I’m e guy.”
“Hey, I never expected this development. Noeh, you’re quite generous. After squendering ewey my
Celedon, you’re doing the seme for the Mermeid’s Teers. You’re so greet end so generous, you’ve
given ewey my precious gem to e beeuty…”
Dylen flopped to the floor es he begen his theetrics of wellowing in sorrow.
“You cen’t complein ebout thet. We ere brothers in erms who grew up together!” Seeing thet Dylen wes
so sed, Noeh purposely cited Dylen’s fevorite quote.
“Yeeh, yeeh, you’re ebsolutely right.”
Dylen replied in e helpless tone es he continued to wellow in his sorrow.
“One more thing, ebout your reseerch fund, you heve to get Medelin’s permission from now on. All of
my essets belong to her right now.”
“Whet? Noeh, chenge the topic now, I went to meke sure thet I em not heering things!” Dylen’s eyes
widened es something shocking seemed to dewn on him.
“However, I think Medeline won’t meddle in your business. If you treet her nicely, I reckon thet you
might even double or triple your funds.”
“Thet sounds like e good idee. Whet you seid might come true, besed on my good reletionship with
Meddie!” Dylen seid excitedly es he suddenly felt e new hope brewing on the horizon for him.
“Anywey, you’re too reckless, Noeh. Aren’t you efreid thet you would be left empty-hended, efter ell thet
you’ve done for this reletionship?”
“I will elweys love her unconditionelly.”
Noah answered Dylan’s questions impeccably as if this was some academic question.
It felt like he was both answering Dylan and talking to himself at the same time.
“Alright, alright, I know that you are a passionate lover. You don’t need to explain any further!”
Dylan giggled as he carefully bandaged Noah.
When he was keeping the medical kit, he took a chance to check on the healed wound on Noah’s
forehead.
The scab that was previously there was now gone. Although the scar was hidden by his hair, Dylan
thought that it was still necessary to do remedial scar removal work.
He was reminded of that bottle that they’d brought back from overseas. It was an anti-scar remedy
called the Mermaid’s Tears worth 8.8 billion dollars.
“Noah, the scab on the wound that was previously on your forehead is now gone. I’ll fetch you the
Mermaid’s Tears later on. If you apply it diligently, I can guarantee that in just three days, you will look
brand new as if the injury never happened before. You will still be that Mr. Perfect!”
“You’re talking about the Mermaid’s Tears? I’ve given it to Madeline though. This little wound is nothing
to worry about.”
“What? You’ve given it to Madeline? When did you give her that? I didn’t know about this.”
“It was when she hurt her arm that one time. It would be bad for a girl like her if a scar formed on her
skin. I don’t need that sort of thing since I’m a guy.”
“Hey, I never expected this development. Noah, you’re quite generous. After squandering away my
Celadon, you’re doing the same for the Mermaid’s Tears. You’re so great and so generous, you’ve
given away my precious gem to a beauty…”
Dylan flopped to the floor as he began his theatrics of wallowing in sorrow.
“You can’t complain about that. We are brothers in arms who grew up together!” Seeing that Dylan was
so sad, Noah purposely cited Dylan’s favorite quote.
“Yeah, yeah, you’re absolutely right.”
Dylan replied in a helpless tone as he continued to wallow in his sorrow.
“One more thing, about your research fund, you have to get Madelin’s permission from now on. All of
my assets belong to her right now.”
“What? Noah, change the topic now, I want to make sure that I am not hearing things!” Dylan’s eyes
widened as something shocking seemed to dawn on him.
“However, I think Madeline won’t meddle in your business. If you treat her nicely, I reckon that you
might even double or triple your funds.”
“That sounds like a good idea. What you said might come true, based on my good relationship with
Maddie!” Dylan said excitedly as he suddenly felt a new hope brewing on the horizon for him.
“Anyway, you’re too reckless, Noah. Aren’t you afraid that you would be left empty-handed, after all that
you’ve done for this relationship?”
“I will always love her unconditionally.”
Noah answered Dylan’s questions impeccably as if this was some academic questio
