Chapter 234 At this moment, in the restaurant downstairs, Elise and Dylan had finally finished their argument and gone to rest. Madeline looked up a recipe and decided to make chicken soup to warm everyoneâs stomachs. It was for everyone to enjoy, and not just for Noah, the patient. As she was about to start cooking, she heard someone running out. She instinctively looked out the window and saw that Noah was getting ready to leave in his car. Itâs so late, where is he going? Madeline was curious and decided to follow him. However, she became anxious when she saw fear in his eyes. Why is he so frantic? Worry stirred in Madelineâs heart, and she decided to get into her car to tail him.Meanwhile, Andy remained at Thomasâs side in the ward, fearful that Annalise would return to stir trouble. He vowed never to let the woman come close to hurting the boy.When Noah burst into the room, he was relieved to see that Thomas was doing well, sitting in Andyâs lap, eating egg tarts, and drinking chocolate milk while watching a live stream of a game on the TV.âHow are you feeling, Thomas? Are you injured?â Noah rushed over to his son and inquired, concerned.Thomas was stunned as he never thought that his father would come, let alone display weakness in just half a day of departure. But his father looked worried about him.When the boy regained his senses, he responded on a whim.
âDad, Iâm okay, donât worry.â He reached out his little hand and touched Noahâs face, consoling him in a soft voice.âThomas, you spoke! Thatâs great!â Noah leaned over and hugged the boy, spinning around excitedly in the room. Thomas could feel the chill still lingering on Noahâs body from the night, but he knew that his father just wanted to hold him tightly and warm him up.âDaddy, this is the milk that Uncle Andy just heated, drink it,â the boy offered.Andy sensibly stood up and made room for Noah to sit next to Thomas. But based on his intuition as a doctor, he felt that the man did not look very well.âGood boy, Thomas.â Noah sat down on the sofa with the boy on his lap. He was overjoyed to be able to spend time drinking milk and watching television with his son.âNoah, you donât look too good. Are you feeling unwell?â Andy asked.âItâs nothing, just a slight allergy.â Noah dismissed his concern.âAllergy? Thatâs not a small matter. Since Thomas is fine now, let me take a look at you,â he offered.Noah declined, âNo need, itâs already late. Iâm here to accompany Thomas today. You can go back and rest.âAndy was a little hesitant. Noah was the boss after all, and given his current weakness, he would not be able to defend himself if something happens. But Noah had always been wary of strangers. Moreover, Andy only offered a helping hand because of Madeline. There was no point in forcing Noah if he was not willing.âI know my body best, Andy. You can go now,â Noah assured.âOkay, but if you feel uncomfortable, please let me know. I wonât go anywhere tonight, Iâll be in the office,â the man replied.âThank you,â Noah said. âYou are Ms.
Madelineâs man. Thereâs no need to be so polite with me,â Andy scratched his head and smiled.Noah had been focused on Thomas and did not pay attention to the man. But his attention was caught when he heard âMs. Madelineâs man.ââWhat did you say?â Noah asked.âHuh? I said thereâs no need to be so polite with me. Is there something wrong?â Andyâs smile turned into shock.âI meant the sentence earlier,â Noah probed.âOh, I said that you are Ms. Madelineâs man,â the man responded uncomfortably, believing he had said something incorrectly. He wanted to apologize to Noah, but the man interrupted, âThatâs correct. Please continue saying that.âNoah waved his hand and added after seeing Andyâs confused expression. âGo get some rest.â Andy sensibly stopped talking, grinning as he left the hospital room.Just then, Madeline, who had followed Noah all the way to the hospital, met Wayne in the corridor as he came out of the room.âDid something happen? Why did Noah come to the hospital?â she asked.âUh, Mrs. Quincy, why are you here so late?â Wayne had a bad feeling when he saw her approaching. He knew Noah had come to the hospital as he had asked for Thomasâ room number. However, he was sent to visit Ms. Solace first, delaying his visit to Thomas. Based on her tone, Wayne deduced that Madeline must have secretly followed Noah to the hospital. It would be disastrous if she learns that Noah had kept Thomasâ hospitalization a secret.âIs he having a severe allergy?
Let me go see him...â she asked worriedly. Seeing the awkward expression on Wayneâs face, she assumed it was because Noahâs health had deteriorated. As a result, she automatically assumed that the room behind the man was Noahâs, and she pushed the door open and walked in.âHey, Mrs. Quincy, this isnât...!â The man tried to stop her, but it was too late. Seeing the door to the hospital room open, Wayne felt like his career had come to an end.In the room, Annalise strode back and forth, her head swollen with a pigâs head. She was holding a cup of water as the doctor told her to drink plenty of fluid to rid of the bee venom. Thus, despite feeling bloated, she drank cup after cup of water, but her face showed no signs of change.Annalise was seething, vowing to find a way to get revenge. Before she could devise a plan, an unexpected guest barged into the room. As soon as she saw who it was, she was furious. âMadeline Grant? You slut, how dare you come here!â she cursed and threw the cup at the woman.Madeline was astounded to see who was in the room. She would have almost missed her enemy if it had not been for the fierce animosity of the pig-headed woman in front of her.As she watched the water glass thrown toward her, Madeline instinctively dodged, but the suddenness of the cupâs impact still left her drenched with water, causing her anger to flare up.âHi, Annalise. Weâve only parted for half a day, and your face has swollen into a pigâs head. Has your brain gone bad?â
she sneered.Madeline picked up a glass from the table, and filled it with water. Then, with swift and decisive action, she threw the glass of water directly at Annalise.âAh! Madeline Grant, you madwoman!â the woman screamed.
