Chapter 37
Madeline's arm had been injured by the explosion, and she had lost consciousness when she was sent to the hospital.
The medical team that Andy specially trained had long received the news and was already on standby. Madeline was sent to the operating room the moment she reached the hospital. Fortunately, the operation was successful, so Madeline's arm was saved.
When she woke up, Madeline realized that she was in the hospital. Feeling a little thirsty, she subconsciously reached for the cup on her side, only to discover that her arm was injured.
The scene of the flames erupting and her timely escape was still fresh in her mind.
Luckily, Madeline reacted quickly. Otherwise, she might not have been able to wake up here.
It was still scary to think about it.
The feeling of dying, accompanied by her countless past memories, made Madeline uncomfortable.
The feeling got worse when she remembered that the one who caused this feeling every time was Noah.
When Madeline used her uninjured hand to turn on her phone, she immediately saw a news pop-up window that read, "A spontaneous car explosion incident occurred in Clearwater Lane in the early morning. One should always check their vehicle's condition before going out…"
Seeing this news, Madeline was speechless.
That bastard, Noah, was really good at covering things up!
Spontaneous car explosion? Who would believe that?
"Ms. Madeline, it's good that you've woken up. I should have followed you, it's all my fault…" Albert walked into the ward while holding a kettle of warm water.
Seeing that Madeline was awake, Albert immediately poured a cup of water for her and put it on the bedside table. He then stood by her bedside anxiously.
Albert sent help the moment he received Madeline's text. However, he was still one step too late, causing her to be injured.
He blamed himself because of this.
"It's not your fault. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I'm afraid my arm won’t be the only thing injured."
"I… Ms. Madeline, you can't act on your own next time. It's my duty to protect you. If anything happens to you, it's my fault!"
"Albert, how old are you this year?"
"I'm 25, but what about it?"
"You're still young, so don't speak like an old man. It'll make me think that you're possessed by your master…"
"Ms. Madeline!"
"Alright. Now that Mr. Quincy, Imperia's richest man, is hunting for my life, let's not worry about past matters, shall we? Remember to clean up after the incident for me! I don't want to be hunted down by Noah again right after such a narrow escape!"
Madeline revealed a fake smile.
Noah, this bastard, is merciless! I went to his house at midnight, but was it necessary to attack me? Did he realize that I was the one who broke in at midnight? Is this why Noah wanted to get rid of me, avenging Angie at the same time?
Thinking of this, Madeline felt chills in her heart.
"Ms. Madeline, someone had tampered with our car, but it might not be Mr. Quincy," Albert said as he handed the tablet to Madeline.
"What?" Madeline was taken aback as she reached out to take the tablet.
The tablet was playing the car's surveillance recording.
The video was uploaded to the cloud, so even if the car was destroyed, the data could still be downloaded.
After the incident, Albert downloaded the video to grasp the situation as soon as possible and act accordingly.
In the video, a man with a black cap and face mask could be seen clearly. He had opened the door of the car that she parked on Clearwater Lane.
The man sat in the backseat for a while before getting out of the car and disappearing from the scene. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Madeline arrived there about 10 minutes later.
Noah and Wayne only found the car after Madeline hid under the car.
The surveillance video kept playing until there was no more footage when the car exploded.
"Does this means someone already tampered with my car before I arrived?" Madeline was surprised. She always thought that Noah, who wanted to get rid of her, the intruder, asked someone to tamper
with the car when she has hidden underneath.
Could it be a misunderstanding?
"From the surveillance video, the man who broke into the car at the beginning seems to be more suspicious. However, the man had covered himself from head to toe, and the car was burned beyond recognition, so we still haven't found any information about him."
Albert watched the video repeatedly. He felt that the man seemed familiar but could not remember anything. Judging from the man's behavior in the car, he did not seem like a thief but rather someone who was tampering with the car.
Based on Albert's past experiences, it was unlikely for someone to carry deflagration substances and install them in just two or three minutes.
After listening to Albert's analysis, Madeline fell into deep thought. Ever since her return, there were only two people that she had obviously offended.
"If the person who caused the explosion isn't Noah, then it's most likely Angie's men. We must find him!"
"Yes, Ms. Madeline."
……
Noah rushed back to the Quincy residence and went upstairs as soon as he entered.
Dylan had been informed long ago and had just finished checking Thomas' body. However, Dylan fell into self-doubt.
"It's indeed a fever, but this data doesn't seem right…"
Dylan did medical check-ups repeatedly on Thomas. However, he still could not find a breakthrough even after repeating the process several times.
"Colt, does your head still hurt? Are there any other discomforts?"
"Sore throat…" Thomas opened his mouth and pointed into his mouth.
Dylan was nervous and immediately used a small medical flashlight to check him in detail.
After checking Thomas, Dylan looked even worse. "Colt, can you let me check your arms?"
"Okay."
After gaining Thomas' consent, Dylan rolled up Thomas' sleeves carefully.
On Thomas' chubby arms was a dense layer of red rashes.
It was an allergic reaction!
Dylan lost his composure in an instant!
"Colt, you have an allergy! Who gave you ginger?"
Who in the Quincy family did not know Colton was allergic to ginger?
Let alone eat it, but even touching it would cause rashes and fever. It could even cause breathing difficulties if it was severe!
It was absurd for Colton to have an allergic reaction while Noah was at home.
Thomas shook his head and could not be bothered to say anything else.
He only wanted to save his mommy by making a phone call to fool Noah, but who knew he would actually catch a fever?
Thomas was also unsure of what was going on!
He never had an allergic reaction previously!
