Chapter 439 Wait For Me

Noah managed to jump out of the truck with Madeline's help. However, before she could escape, the vehicle started to move. Noah looked anxiously as the girl tried to support herself with the iron rods.

Without hesitation, Noah started to chase the truck. Unfortunately, he soon ran out of breath and could only watch helplessly as the car disappeared from view.

Hope turned into despair as Madeline saw no chance of escape. She overheard the traffickers claiming they were pursued by the Quincy family while hiding in the cupboard boxes. Hence, they decided to accelerate their plan by punishing the boy, as they feared they could not receive the ransom. At that moment, Madeline was relieved that Noah managed to flee; or else, his life would have been in danger.

The truck spent the entire night on the road. When the kidnappers realized Noah was gone the next morning, they threatened Madeline to reveal his whereabouts. The girl bit her lip and refused to say a word. When one of the captors approached her with his leather belt, she closed her eyes and anxiously waited for the whipping pain to sear her skin.

Madeline opened her eyes after what felt like an eternity of waiting to discover all the kidnappers dead on the ground. They were moaning in pain, and their bodies were covered with bruises. A stunning woman wielding a whip stood alongside them, looking like a heroine. "How dare you attack my people?" she yelled as she trod on one of the kidnappers' chests. "Are you sick and tired of living?" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Please spare our lives! We are sorry!" the kidnappers begged. However, the woman did not show them mercy and gave them a swift kick. Madeline could almost hear the sound of the trafficker's ribs cracking.

"Are you afraid of me?" The beautiful woman kicked the human trafficker away and proudly looked at Madeline. The girl shook her head, and before she could even speak, the sound of a police siren came

from behind. Her savior immediately went into her sports car and drove off. Since then, Madeline always thought that she might have had a dream that day, dreaming that a goddess had come to rescue her.

The police rescued Madeline and brought her back to the Grant family. She saw the boy who was with her on television. His grandfather held him in his arms and cried, feeling heartbroken.

In contrast, when Madeline arrived home, she was met with derision from Suzette and pushed to do extra housework by Angie. Bruno, on the other hand, had no idea Madeline had been abducted by human traffickers. He blamed her for being too playful and escaped from home for several days.

A few months later, Suzette used the excuse of taking Madeline and Angie to a resort to leave the former alone in that seaside village. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be picked up by an old lady who lived alone by the sea and was taken care of as her granddaughter for nearly half a year.

One day, Madeline met Noah again. She saw Jasper, who always bullied her in the village, digging a hole and burying something on the beach. She thought they had buried her little dog, Little Flower, so after they left, she went to dig up the hole. To her surprise, she found a little boy buried in the sand. He did not recognize Madeline, even though she knew away that he was the boy she rescued from the human traffickers. Feeling annoyed, she also pretended not to know him on purpose.

The duo played at the beach all day, and after Noah's family took him away, she saw two people standing on a nearby reef, a man and a woman. They were very good-looking, just like heavenly fairies.

Fuzzy-headed, Madeline walked to them and asked, "Are you immortals?"

The woman smiled. "We are your parents."

"No, you aren't." The brightness in Madeline's eyes dimmed as she lowered her head to kick the sand beneath her toes.

"We've come to take you home. Will you come with us?" The woman's voice choked up.

The man next to her hugged her waist tenderly, wanting to stop her from saying those words. However, Madeline stared at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant. When she heard some villagers calling her name, saying that her grandmother had fainted at home, she no longer cared about the beautiful couple and turned to run home.

When Madeline arrived home, she saw Bruno, Suzette, and Angie standing in front of the old dilapidated house, with an unconscious old woman lying on the ground.

"Grandma!" Madeline wanted to help the old lady up. Before she could do so, Bruno grabbed her arm and shouted sternly, "She's a human trafficker, not your grandmother!"

"You're lying! She's my grandma, not a human trafficker! You're all bad people! Why don't you just die?!" Madeline, who had always been weak, glared at Bruno like a wolf cub and yelled at him. The man was infuriated by Madeline's words. He gave her a hard smack and hauled her away from the village without any reason.

Later, when the girl grew up, she returned to that village, but it had already developed into a tourist attraction and had changed beyond recognition. Even now, she did not know when her grandmother passed away or if anyone buried her.

As she thought about the past, Madeline's mood became a little low. But what was lost was lost, and she did not want to dwell on it anymore. It's just that the photo she saw in Simon's office earlier also captured the couple she once thought were gods. She had thought she was dreaming all this while until she saw that photo that day and confirmed they existed. Unfortunately, Simon's photo was a copy, and it was hard to see the appearance of those two people clearly.

Just then, Noah, who had been tirelessly calling her, made his tenth call, and she steadied her emotions and answered.

"The little girl by the sea, is that you?" Noah asked, his voice tinged with excitement despite Madeline not answering his calls.

The woman replied calmly, "Yes, can you give me the original of that photo?"

"Sure, I'll give you anything you want." The man was over the moon to hear of the confirmation.

"So, when can I get it?" Madeline asked.

"Wait for me to come back." When Noah noticed the urgency and impatience in Madeline's voice, his joy diminished. He wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he felt she probably would not tell him.

"Okay." Madeline had just remembered the couple's story and was eager to confirm their identity. Now that she had talked to Noah, her excited feelings had calmed down.

As the conversation topic had ended, Madeline was ready to hang up the phone. However, Noah did not want to end the call just like that. "Aren't you going to ask me when I'll be back?"
