Aggressive Wife

Chapter 61

Upon regaining consciousness, Madeline found herself in Maple Forest Villa. She noticed the bandage on her wrist was reapplied and the anesthesia may have alleviated the pain of the wound. She sat up and stared confusedly at her bandage as she recognized the technique. It looked exactly the same as she had first awoken that morning! Did Noah take her back to the lab again? Madeline found it difficult to wrap her head around the situation while she was unconscious.

“Ms. Madeline, you’re finally awake!” Andy’s voice disturbed her train of thoughts and she looked toward the direction of his voice, in which she was greeted with the sight of Andy sobbing despite being a grown man.

“Uh, Andy, I know you’re concerned about me, but don’t you think it’s a bit too much for a grown man like you to be crying buckets for me?” Madeline tried to soothe him by giving him a pat on the shoulder.

“Ms. Madeline, you may not realize this but your skin was as pale as a ghost when you were brought back to the lab! I thought something terrible must've happened, but Mr. Quincy and that Felch guy kept me away from you while they stood watch, and here I was so worried about you!”Andy ranted grumpily while lying next to Madeline.

He had never felt so wronged and humiliated! Even as the best doctor in Imperia, he was not allowed to treat Madeline who was injured.

“You’re saying that Noah Quincy and Dylan Felch are here?”

“They were here, but they left five minutes ago. They probably knew you were going to wake up. Hmph, I can’t believe those grown-up men are still keeping up with the anonymous act!” Madeline felt her head spin as she listened to Andy’s grumpy yatter on what had happened. It took a long while for her to finally calm Andy down.

“Stop crying now, Andy. Take a look at the ointment on my wound if there’s anything special about it. I think it somewhat dulled the side effects of the nano ligament!!” Madeline tried to divert Andy’s attention by extending her injured arm for him to inspect.

It worked as Andy composed himself and began checking at Madeline’s wound. Madeline was surprised when Andy’s inspection confirmed her suspicions - the ointment on her wound had substances that could suppress the nano ligament’s side effects - leaving her stunned after discovering this. Did Dylan reach the pinnacle of his medical skills? Andy, on the other hand, was overexcited after learning this and begged Madeline to let him see Dylan.

“Ms. Madeline, please help me out. I would like to talk with such a talented doctor!”

“For what?”

“Naturally, we have to ask if we can work with them! It is only through mutual effort that we will finally be able to promote the nano ligaments and create a significant medical breakthrough!”

“Andy, who was the one that was screaming bloody murder while clinging onto my leg?”

“I was mistaken, Ms. Madeline! I had no idea that Mr. Quincy brought along a doctor of such caliber! If I had known about it, I would’ve given him a proper greeting!”

“……”

Andy, being the wise man, ate a humble pie after realizing his mistake.

“It’s easy to meet up with Dylan, but you may need Noah’s approval before proposing a collaboration. I’ll need some time to think of how to deal with him.”

“Ms. Madeline, the future of my career is in your hands!” Andy’s eyes lit up as he stared gratefully at Madeline. Her wrist no longer ached and she was feeling much better. After realizing that it was already

night time, she quickly took her coat and headed out.

“Ms. Madeline, where are you going? Allow me to accompany you!”

Albert felt particularly bad ever since he noticed Madeline’s wound worsened in the afternoon, so he vowed to stay by her side around the clock and refrain her from going anywhere on her own until her wrist had fully healed. That was why Madeline was quickly found out by Albert when she was about to head out. For this reason, Albert caught Madeline almost immediately as she was getting ready to leave.

Initially planning to drive herself, Madeline decided to let Albert take the wheel when she realized time was of essence and wanted to avoid any needless argument. As her wrist injury had already triggered two fever cases for her, it was best for her to be cautious and rest to get well soon. Meanwhile, Madeline also recalled that Albert was injured previously too.

“I recall that your hand was injured too. Let’s hire another driver instead…” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“It’s just a minor injury, Ms. Madeline. It’s almost healed too anyways!” Albert casually replied as he climbed into the driver’s seat. Madeline was about to persuade him when she realized the band-aid on his hand was all that covered off what looked to be an almost full recovery, making her secretly impressed by his ability to bounce back quickly.

“Where are we headed to then, Ms. Madeline?” While asking, Albert started the car’s engine and launched the navigation app.

“Old Berkeley Street, LM Boutique.”

……

Back in the garden villa, Angie, still wrapped in her bath towel, had been lying unconscious on the floor until the chill of the tile floor jolted her awake. Looking at the time, she figured she had been unconscious for about three hours, naked, and nobody had noticed her. While James undoubtedly wished for Angie to die of hypothermia so he could have one less burden, Suzette had already gone out in the morning.

Angie stood up groggily and walked back to her room, shivering in the cold. She found it ridiculous that she was mistreated, even as the eldest daughter of the prestigious Grant family. She could have died from hypothermia outside of the bathroom if not for her tenacious life force! Her predicament left her upset and frustrated. Angie felt like herself again once she changed into some warmer clothes and cuddled up under a blanket.

At the same time, Suzette finally returned home. The moment Suzette walked through the door, James rushed out of his room to assist her in setting down her bag and coat. It did not take long for the pair to start making out passionately in the living room. Their repulsive sounds drove Angie absolutely insane! She stormed out of her room, filled a large bucket with water from the bathroom, and threw it over the couple making out on the couch.

“Angie Grant, are you out of your mind?!”

In an instant, Angie was knocked off balance by a hard smack on the face. A swift kick sent her down onto the floor and she was repeatedly kicked with great force!

“You goddamn freeloader! How dare you drench me with water! Damn you, filthy woman!”
