Tony hurriedly deleted the video recording online as he feared the consequences.
Although he managed to delete the video from his account, others reposted it. The news had already spread across the internet at extreme speeds. The situation was out of hand.
Tony felt as if he was about to lose his mind. He decided to tell Asher the truth over a text message. After that, he discarded his SIM card and fled back to his hometown.
……
The Golden Done International District.
When Noah woke up, he realized he was in a bed in Dylan's treatment room. He then noticed Madeline resting her head by his bedside. She fell asleep as she had been looking after him when they arrived. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Noah felt a sense of warmth. He reached out and caressed Madeline's head. He wished that this moment would last and that she would always be by his side.
Wayne showed up at the door. As he was about to speak, Noah gestured to him to not make any noise. He slowly got out of bed and covered Madeline with a blanket.
Noah walked out of the treatment room and met up with Wayne in the lounge. "What is it?" Noah asked. "Sir, we couldn't find Angie at the original location," Wayne said with a sense of guilt. He had searched the vicinity with the others but to no avail.
"She escaped?" Noah asked. "I had the same thought initially until I came across this," Wayne said as he passed the tablet in his hands. Noah tapped on the screen and watched a video recording of a woman being humiliated.
Although the video was captured from a side profile, the woman greatly resembles Angie. "You suspect that this is Angie?" Noah asked. "That's right. Judging from the background, it appears to be the location that she was previously at. The probability of it being Angie is quite high," Wayne replied.
"Locate the person in the video and uncover the truth. We must find Angie whether she's dead or alive," Noah insisted. He wanted Angie to pay the price of killing his grandfather. "Yes, sir. I'll get to work right now. However, your injuries…" Wayne was worried about Noah as his forehead was wrapped in bandages and he had been unconscious throughout the night.
"I'm fine. By the way, where's Colt?" Noah said. "Colton is upstairs. Dr. Felch had examined his body and was certain that he was well," Wayne replied. "I see," Noah said. After making sure that Noah had no other orders, Wayne left and resumed his investigation.
Noah returned to the treatment room and realized that Madeline was still asleep. He carried her to the bed carefully and tucked her in. He proceeded to step into the elevator.
On the 88th floor of the Golden Dome International District, Dylan was making breakfast for Thomas clumsily. Although he had a kitchen at home, he was not skilled at cooking as he was extremely lazy. However, he could not turn down Thomas as he had just gone through a lot and Noah was still unconscious.
Thomas woke Dylan up at 5 am as he was hungry. He was craving some pancakes. Dylan felt that it was no challenge for him. He gave Thomas a bag of chips as he waited on the sofa. Dylan put on an apron and searched for tutorials online on his phone.
Dylan swiftly came across a suitable tutorial and began to follow along. Thomas slouched on the sofa and watched Dylan as it was an open kitchen. "Colt, please be patient. I've found a tutorial and you'll get your pancakes soon enough!" Dylan said.
"Okay. I believe in you, Uncle Dylan!" Thomas uttered. Dylan felt motivated after hearing his words. He was certain that it would be a piece of cake for a scientist like him. He began preparing the ingredients stated in the tutorial which included flour, eggs, and butter.
Dylan searched the kitchen cabinets and found a similar bowl that was shown in the tutorial. He added the ingredients into the bowl accordingly and mixed them. Thomas felt at ease as he watched Dylan. Although Dylan's actions were weird, he seemed to get the hang of it.
Thomas' stomach was growling as he glared at the bag of chips on the coffee table. He refuses to eat it as he was craving pancakes instead. He could remember the process when his mother made pancakes for him. After the ingredients were prepared, he could indulge in the tasty pancakes with chocolate in no longer than ten minutes.
As Thomas was reminiscing about the past, a sudden burnt smell pulled him back into reality. He was taken aback by the scene before him. Thick smoke was spewing out from the induction stove. He could see that the pancakes that he longed for had been burnt into a piece of charcoal.
The induction stove's power supply cut off automatically. Although the smoke would be swiftly ventilated by the range hood, Dylan began coughing as he choked. "Colt, get away from here…" he muttered.
Dylan whipped out a mask and helped Thomas put it on. Dylan then carried him away from the scene. After the smoke was completely ventilated, Dylan felt relieved and put Thomas down. "That's a relief. I thought it was going to catch fire!" Dylan said.
"Uncle Dylan, you look quite experienced when fleeing the kitchen," Thomas said. "Thanks for the compliment. I work on my culinary skills from time to time whenever I'm bored." Dylan replied. Thomas was speechless as he realized that he would never get his pancakes.
Thomas would rather starve than to eat that piece of burnt charcoal. As he lay on the sofa in despair, the elevator sounded. As the doors opened, Noah's voice was heard. "What's going on here?"
