Chapter 214: Chapter 214

Chapter 214 To keep his sanity in check, Noah removed his clothes. However, he did not get into the sheets.

He was forcing himself to stay awake by allowing the cold to linger in his body.

Although Madeline, who was just in the cold water a while ago, was still unconscious, she was visibly shivering from the cold.

Her brows were tightly knitted on her tiny face.

Noah felt sorry to see her in that state. He got up to turn up the thermostat in the room besides fetching another blanket to cover her.

By the time Noah was done with that, he heard Dylan’s anxious voice coming from downstairs.

“Noah, I’m here to save you!”

Noah let out a sigh helplessly as he turned around and stepped out of the bedroom.

He was afraid that if he was a step behind, Dylan would barge in to look for him and wake Madeline up in the process. She would definitely complain if that happened.

He was only on the second floor when he bumped into Dylan.

“Noah, why do you look so down? Hey, your wound is bleeding too!” Dylan was scared out of his wits as he carefully helped Noah along. He felt like he was holding a fragile doll right now.

Noah was not in the greatest mood at the moment. Since they were already on the second floor, he decided to let Dylan into Madeline’s room.

“Noah, why are you bringing me into Maddie’s room? We are in the dead of night now, isn’t this a little inappropriate?” Dylan reminded Noah embarrassedly.

“Quit it. She’s not here now, we can stay for a while.” Noah quickly dragged him into the room before turning around to shut the door.

“Maddie’s not here? Did she go out? Don’t you have anything to say about her going out at midnight? Wait a minute, if she has gone out, then how come you seem suspiciously exhausted as if you’ve gone at it the whole night? Dylan’s curiosity was piqued.

“You better shut your trap right now. This is all your doing!” Noah was furious at this moment, seeing that Dylan was already playing around with the thought of him cheating on his wife. He almost could not suppress his urge to strangle Dylan.

“Noah, don’t get so worked up. Be careful of your wound.”

Dylan bent down to hold Noah’s legs in an all too familiar way. He was trying to make Noah calm down.

After making sure that Noah was no longer interested in chopping him up. Dylan then carefully pulled away part of his shirt to check on his wounds.

As expected, the wound was bleeding non-stop. At the same time, since Noah was in the water for some time, it was very likely that his wound was going to be inflamed.

If the ointment that Dylan had applied earlier did not pack such a punch, the worst thing to happen right now was seeing Noah’s wound worsen It was a relief that the wound did not.

It was just that Noah had consumed his signature Blood Pill, which caused his blood to circulale even more. It was probably the reasoh his wound was bleeding at the moment.

“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 rited 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 been trying to get onto your bedtime and time agam. You aren’t even seduced in the slightest, does Maddie knew 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.”

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 lone 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 felationship 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.
