Chapter 231 âWhy are you blaming me, Noah Quincy? I didnât ask you to flirt around. Why are you so shameless?â Madeline retorted.
âIt isnât surprising for women to fall in love with a charming man like your husband. It doesnât matter anyway. I have eyes for no one but my wife!â the man said sweetly.
âYou...â The woman almost burst out laughing at his overflowing confidence.
Seeing that his ploy was working, Noah continued, âYou laughed, my wife. Since you arenât angry, can you accept my friend request on Instagram?â
âNo!â Madeline rejected.
âWhy not?â he inquired.
â
She hissed, âYou donât need an explanation for everything.â
Noah chose to accept fate because he could never outwit Madeline. Moreover, he was willing to accept his wifeâs unique quirks wholeheartedly. Hence, he opted not to probe anymore and continued to skin the crayfish for Madeline silently. She did not turn down his offer and saw it as an opportunity for him to atone for his mistakes âCan you accompany me home later, my wife? I feel a little giddy, Noah said weakly.
âTsk! I just ate a small portion of the crayfish. Youâre going to skive so soon? Youâre not even attempting to make an effort,â she jeered âI think Iâm having an allergy,â he replied.
Madeline was startled by his response and turned to check on him right away. Red rashes had formed over Noahâs body, much to her horror. His hands, which had direct contact with the crayfish, had turned painfully swollen.
âYou are allergic to crayfish?â Madeline said in confusion. She had no idea Noah had an allergy the entire time she had been with him.
âI wasnât allergic to it in the past. It may be the recent medications Iâm taking... it could have caused a chemical reaction,â Noah said shakily, his face turning paler by the second. Despite his discomfort, he did not stop peeling the crayfish for Madeline.
The woman was enraged by his foolish antics. She promptly cleansed his hand with a tissue and instructed, âStop the peeling. Letâs head home!â
âDonât worry. Dylanâis around to take care of me. Iâll just pop a pill when I get home,â Noah assured.
âHow am I supposed to stay calm? Take a look at how pale you are. Youâre a grown man; why canât you look after yourself?â
Madeline nagged before walking to Dylan and Elise and updating them on the situation âNoah is having an allergic reaction? Did he secretly eat the crayfish?â Dylan asked in surprise.
âHe didnât eat the crayfish, but he peeled some for me though,â Madeline replied.
Dylan wondered to himself, doesnât Noah know how to wear a glove when -skinning the crayfish? He knows he is allergic to it. Is he planning to sacrifice himself to make his wife happy?
From a young age, the man was aware that his best friend was allergic to crayfish. As a result, he hardly had the opportunity to taste seafood in the past twenty years. He was exhilarated when he saw the women enjoying the delicacy, and planned to enjoy some delicious crayfish. Unfortunately, his friend fell ill before he even had the chance to taste it.
Everyone arrived back at Maple Forest Villa in fifteen minutes. Madeline quietly entered the home passcode to keep Noah in the dark. Her acts dissatisfied the sick man.
The villa was located a short distance from the market. While they were on their way home, Madeline had instructed Andy to pick up some antihistamines. Hence, Noah was able to be injected with the medication once they arrived at their destination.
Dylan followed Noah into the room and glanced at him spawning limply on the bed. âDidnât you know that you are allergic to crayfish, Noah? Why are you so careless? Luckily you didnât catch a fever, or your existing injuries would worsen. Arenât you aware of the dangers?â
âIâm not worried because you are around,â Noah replied.
âIâm not invincible! You need to take care of your health. Donât you dare risk my reputation,â Dylan warned. Even though he was outraged at Noahâs recklessness, he was more concerned about his health. After all, his friend had sustained multiple injuries and could not risk hurting himself further.
ww âIâm aware of my condition. Donât worry, there wonât be a next time,â Noah coaxed.
âNice try. You said the same words previously, liar!â Dylan snarled.
âIâm a patient. Are you planning to argue with me?â his friend protested.
âOkay, you win. I know that you are willing to risk your life for Maddie. But I have to warn you that the injury in your abdomen is very serious. It may impact your male performance for the rest of your life if you arenât careful. I wonât be able to help you with that, mate,â Dylan reminded.
âIâm fine. Thanks for the concern,â
Noah answered.
âWhatever you say. You are the patient, so you know yourself best,â Dylan replied nonchalantly. Noah became irritated by his snarky demeanor.
Elise bad just arrived, looking for Dylan. She came to a halt when she overheard their conversation about male performance.
She covered her mouth in surprise and dashed down the stairs.
âOh my gosh! Maddie, I heard a huge secret!â she said urgently.
âWhat can be so shocking? Have you seen a ghost?â Madeline queried.
âItâs more terrifying than that! I heard Dylan and Noahâs conversation. Noah is...â she stuttered, trying to find the right words.
âWhat happened to Noah? Is it serious? Let me take a lookâ Madeline said worriedly, âItâs not that. Noahâs male performance might be affected. Maddie, this is a serious matter. I heard Dylan say so himself upstairs!
Hold on a minute. How would he know Noahâs performance? Did they... this is insane!â Elise gasped in horror and covered her mouth in disbelief.
Madeline was amused by her friendâs dramatic play. In an attempt to calm her down, she coaxed, âHmm... Elise, please donât let your imagination run wild. Iâm worried that you might hurt the feelings of the lovely soft-hearted man, the one you like.â
âWhile I adore Dylan, I will never be a third wheel. Tell Noah not to be concerned.â Elise made an exaggerated sigh.
Madeline rolled her eyes and lamented, âPlease mind your words, Ms. Elise.â
Suddenly, their dramatic conversation was interrupted by a familiar voice. âWho do you like?â
Elise turned to look at Dylan, who was waiting for her with a blank expression while holding a cup of chocolate milk. She was so startled that she let go of the Baymax plush toy she was holding, and it fell to the ground.
âW-When did you come down?â Elise demanded.
âA few moments ago. You havenât answered my question. Who were you interested in?â Dylan asked Annalise grabbed Thomasâ collar and gave him a sinister look. As she walked to the ward, she realized the truth.
