Chapter 199 Joseph stared at the message on the phone. Soon, he showed a wanton and arrogant smile on his gloomy face.
âHahaha, what an amazing woman! Sheâs interesting!â Joseph laughed as if he was in a good mood for an instant.
Fred watched Joseph from the side and felt nervous in his heart.
âSir, it was my negligence. I didnât realize someone had planted a bomb in the car,â said Fred while trembling in fear.
âForget it. Maddieâs means are superb. You could hardly notice what she did. Youâre Injured. Go to a nearby hospital for treatment first.â Joseph glanced at Fred, who lowered his head and admitted his mistake. But Joseph did not scold Fred as he was in a good mood. Joseph only cared about Fredâs injuries.
âNo need, Sir. Itâs just a little injury. It doesnât matter.â Fred refused.
âJust do what I said!â Josephâs face suddenly darkened.
âYes, Sir.â
After dinner, Madeline took a bubble bath In the bathtub. As Lone Wolf entered her bathroom once, she asked Andy to bring a team of people to disinfect and check the bathroom before she returned to Maple Forest Villa. There was nothing wrong, but the smell of the disinfectant was too strong. Madeline needed to put a lot of essences to cover the smell.
At this moment, Madeline was lying in the bathtub and looking at her phone. Albert had sent her the photo of the scene outside the Enchanteur Bar. Looking at Josephâs crazy look, Madeline gave Albert a thumbs up. âWell done!â
Albert found a secluded place and called Madeline. He said, âMs. Madeline, Joseph was so angry that he would not let us go.
Iâve already increased the security measures around the villa. But when I sent people, I found Mr. Quincyâs people were nearby.
The number of their people is more than ours...â
âSince the Quincy familyâs bodyguards are here, letâs remove some of our people. So weâll not be exposed.â After thinking about it, Madeline felt it was better to keep a low profile now.
âOkay, Ms. Madeline.â
âAnd also, Joseph and Angle seem to be related. Investigate carefully to see if you can find any clues.â
If Joseph and Angle were related, then it was likely that Joseph was also inseparable from the murder of Old Mr. Quincy. As for Josephâs background, Madeline would also investigate it, but no one knew this matter better than Noah. She wondered what Noah meant when he said it was not the time yet on the way back.
Madeline thought wildly and reminded Albert of some small matters. Then, she hung up the phone and enjoyed her bath time comfortably. It was just that Madeline lay down in the bathtub and was about to watch a drama. Suddenly, she heard movement in the room. There was someone who had broken in.
Madeline Instantly became alert. She quickly picked up the bathrobe on the side and put it on. After that, Madeline walked carefully toward the bathroom door. She put her ear on the door to listen to the movement outside. However, after she waited for a while, she heard nothing outside.
Did I hear wrong just now? Madeline was puzzled. She carefully turned the door handle.
Phew, there is indeed no one. I might have hallucinated just now. Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and went to the cloakroom. After putting on pajamas, she turned off the light and lay on the bed.
As soon as Madeline lay down, she felt someone turn over and hug her. Feeling a warm breath, she subconsciously exclaimed.
âAh!â
âHey, donât make noise. I just want to hug you...â
âNoah?â
Madeline found it was Noah when she felt his famillar voice and smell. Whatâs wrong with him? Does he want to take advantage of me?
âNoah, what are you doing on my bed? Let go of me...â
Noah felt Madeline keep moving in his arms. His heat began to rise.
âDonât move. I wonât be able to bear it if you move again.â
âUh... We can talk about anything. Can you let me go first?â Discovering something was wrong with Noah, Madeline did not dare to move anymore.
âI have a headache. I canât sleep by myself. Can you please not chase me away?â Noahâs voice was a little weak, and he sounded a little bit aggrieved.
Madeline struggled to turn around and stretched out to touch his forehead. The wound on his forehead had just scabbed over.
When she touched it, she could still feel a little bumpy.
âHeadache? Oh my God, you have a fever! Is the wound on your abdominal open?â At first, Madeline was preparing to expose his lies, but Noahâs forehead was hot. So, she subconsciously became nervous. Noah did not respond to Madeline but subconsciously hugged her tightly.
âNoah?â
âIâm fine. Iâll recover after hugging you.â
âAre you sure?â
âWell, if you donât believe me, you can try it.â
Madeline was a ttle confused. Noahâs forehead was a little hot, but she had never heard that hugging could cure a fever.
Besides, it seemed inappropriate to chase a patient away. Madene was in a tangle. She subconsciously tensed up her body when Noah hugged her.
On this lonely night, Madeline could even hear her heartbeat. She did not know whether it was because of Noah hugging her, but she gradually felt that her body began to heat up.
Madeline even wanted to lift the quilt, but Noah already had a fever. If he sweated and caught a cold, it would aggravate his condition.
Forget it! Just bear it all night! Madeline thought helplessly. She did not feel sleepy at all.
Just then, a phone buzzed and vibrated. Noahâs cell phone on the bedside table rang. Noah did not wake up, and the phone was on the side behind him. As Madeline could not reach his phone, she could only let the phone keep ringing.
Finally, the other party hung up the call, but it was Madelineâs cell phone rang this time. Madeline subconsciously turned around to pick it up, but Noah took her phone first.
âHello? Maddie, are you in danger? Why is your heart beating so fast?â Dylan had woken up by the warning sound of the detection app in the middle of the night. He immediately called Madeline in a daze. When Dylan connected the call, he felt his heart beating fast.
âMadelineâs heart beats faster just because she is fascinated by me. Donât worry.â Noah explained the facts In a super shameless manner. Madeline was shocked by his bold words and immediately flew into a rage.
âDonât talk nonsense!â Madeline roared.
âBe calm, donât make trouble. I feel a headache again. Beep, beep...â
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Dylan felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
D*mn it! What kind of abuse did I do in my previous life? Iâm too pitiful to be shown affection by Noah in the middle of the night!
