Chapter 485 Madeline, I Want To See Them
Madeline sat up from Noah's embrace, and Madeline straightened out her disheveled clothes. Then, Madeline looked at the exposed wound on Noah's chest, "Take good care of your body too. You're not a young man anymore. Don't act like an 18-year-old anymore."
"Are you doubting me?" Noah said as Noah was about to prove to Madeline that he was stronger than an 18-year-old youngster.
Madeline nimbly jumped off the sofa, and Madeline said as Madeline walked out, "How would I dare? I hadn't seen what you looked like when you were 18."
"Someday, I will show you." Noad strode forward, and Noah caught up to Madeline from behind.
Madeline turned around, and Madeline warned Noah, "Don't act smugly when you head out. Lucas and Alexander are in a bad mood. You don't want to get beaten up."
Noah was still concerned about Lucas. Noah thought of Lucas' poor mental state earlier, and Noah realized that he had to attend to the company's affair personally.
What a headache.
As for Tristan, Noah would make Tristan pay for laying his hands on Lucas' woman.
"Put Tristan's matter aside. I will handle it personally. Only by doing so can I show my care for you all, and then they won't dare to mess with you. Got it?" Madeline instructed Noah with worries.
Noah frowned, seemingly disagreeing.
Madeline persuaded earnestly, "Noah, take it as a break. Rest properly to recover from your injuries, okay?'
"Bring the person back. I will handle the interrogation." Noah compromised.
Madeline gestured okay. Noah had changed a lot, and Noah listened to Madeline's persuasion. When would the Solace brothers reach the same level of tacit understanding as Madeline?
"Are you not going to ask why I brought Karen back to the country?" Noah held Madelin in his arms, and Noah asked curiously.
Madeline shrugged, "You must have your reason for doing so. I don't have the time to look into it now, but we can talk about it when we have the time, okay?"
Originally, Noah thought Madeline had misunderstood that Noah had feelings toward Karen. Madeline did not ask out of respect for Noah's reputation. After hearing Madeline's reply, Noah was dumbfounded.
"Are you aware that Karen was behind the scenes when things happened to the children when we were in Uranica?" Madeline could not help but remind Noah.
Noah nodded, "I'm already happy when you're not mad at me about this."
Originally, Noah was worried that Madeline would break up with him because of this matter. After all, Noah was aware of how important these children were to Madeline.
"Am I that petty?" Madeline snorted.
Noah complained in his heart. If you're not petty, why would I be worried for a couple of months? I am afraid of you being jealous, but I am also afraid that you won't get jealous at all.
"Why don't you ask me what the Solace brothers said?" Madeline raised an eyebrow, and Madeline asked Noah with a sly expression.
Noah was amused, and Noah pinched Madeline's nose, "Tell me when you're ready."
"Do you actually already know?" Madeline could not believe it. If Noah thought the Solace brothers were Madeline's suitors, Noah would not allow them to be near Madeline.
Given Noah's capabilities, Noah probably knew long ago that Madeline was blood-related to the Solace brothers.
Noah was aware, but Noah appeared clueless, "Know about what?"
"Keep acting." Madeline reached the door of Mia's medical room, and Madeline hinted to Noah to leave.
Coincidentally, Wayne reported that Annalise had returned home. Noah changed direction, and Noah went to Alexander's medical room to tell them the news.
Madeline was curious about the return of Annalise, and Madeline wanted to know how Annalise was kidnapped, how Annalise was tortured, and how did Annalise escape.
However, Madeline was pretty occupied at the moment.
Just now, Dylan told Madeline that Mia was in a poor mental state. Mia would break down at the sight of a man, including Lucas.
Madeline pushed open the medical room's door, and Madeline saw Lucas sitting next to the bed. In merely one day, Lucas was already haggard.
"Mr. Lucas, you should get rested." Madeline walked over to pat Lucas's shoulder.
Lucas turned his head to glance at Madeline, and Lucas asked coldly, "Have they caught the culprit?"
Lucas did not care about what happened in between or the interests involved. Lucas only wanted to know if the people who harmed Mia were caught.
"Within two hours at most, I will let you see them. You should go eat something and rest for a while now. Then, you will have the energy to deal with them later." Madeline patiently persuaded Lucas.
Lucas stood up, and Lucas staggered a few steps. Lucas looked at Madeline before saying, "We spare no one and catch them all."
"Okay." Madeline nodded firmly.
Only then did Lucas walk out hesitantly.
As soon as the door closed, Madeline sat in the spot where Lucas had sat. Madeline looked at the asleep Mia. Memories of the time they spent together flashed through Madeline's mind.
In Madeline's memory, Mia was a lively and lovely girl.
"Ms. Madeline." Mia suddenly opened her eyes, and Mia stared at Madeline calmly.
Madeline realized that Mia had actually woken up much earlier, but perhaps Mia pretended to be asleep to avoid facing Lucas. Perhaps Mia did not know how to face Lucas, so Mia could only pretend to sleep.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Madeline asked warmly with a smile.
Mia shook her head, and Mia reached out to hold Madelin's hand. Then, Mia said word by word, "Ms. Madeline, I want to see them."
Mia was referring to those who hurt her. Madeline glanced at Mia, and Madeline understood Mia's intention.
'Alright, I will take you to see them later."
There were things that the person involved had to resolve personally. Only then would the person get to move on and continue living.
"I don't want to see Mr. Lucas anymore. Can you help me resign? Don't let Lucas see those people, alright? Mia looked at Madeline, and Mia pleaded.
Madeline suddenly had teary eyes. Why are kind people always easy to get hurt?
"This is not your fault, and you don't have to shoulder the aftermath. Once you recover from your injuries, all of this will be in the past."
"Ms. Madeline, there's a great obstacle to being part of the Quincy family. I have never thought that I could be part of the Quincy family. The thing is Mr. Lucas always…" Mia did not know how to say it. Mia wanted to say she had a dream, but Mia could not bear to put it that way.
"This happens to be a good opportunity. I want to return to my hometown to live a quiet life." Mia spoke to Madeline with a confident smile instead of lowering her head.
Indeed, Mia was a nonchalant and resilient young woman.
Other women would even be attracted to Mia, not only Lucas.
"There's no barrier in love. Maybe it's not easy to be part of the Quincy family. Doesn't Lucas always think you're at a height he can't reach?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Ms. Madeline, I am not in the mood to discuss love philosophy right now. Please help me, would you?"
Madeline let out a sight in her heart before agreeing to help.
Deep down in Madeline's heart, Madeline did not want Mia and Lucas to waste time as Madeline and Noah did five years ago.
