Chapter 381

Chapter 381 Daddy, Why Didn’t You Rush Back to Save Us?

Madeline stayed by Xander's bed all night, and even when the bodyguards brought Thomas and Colton over the next day, she only explained a few words and did not let them enter the ward to disturb Xander.

When it was almost noon, Noah was worried about Madeline's health and wanted to enter to bring her some food. But Albert stopped him. "Mr. Quincy, you should wait a little longer."

"She has injuries and hasn't eaten for a day. I'm worried about her." Noah put his hand on the doorknob with a firm attitude.

Albert stepped back when he saw that, then said lightly, "You caused Mr. Quinn to be injured indirectly this time. Are you sure Ms. Madeline wants to see you now?"

Noah glared at Albert, but Albert was not afraid of him. Albert straightened his body and looked at him.

Before yesterday, Albert might have been happy with the reconciliation between Madeline and Noah, so he respected Noah more. But afterward, Noah completely lost credibility in his eyes.

Albert did not care why Noah could not return to save the children in time. He only knew that Noah had repeatedly promised him that the children would be fine, so he boldly followed Noah to the restaurant, but the children were in danger. It meant that Noah had no credibility with Albert.

It was the first time Noah took a closer look at Albert, who had been by Madeline's side since Madeline returned to Imperia and had won her trust and reliance. Before that, he thought that Albert and Madeline had an employment relationship, just like he and Wayne, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.

When they were in Imperia, Albert deliberately concealed his aura and acted no different from an ordinary assistant. But after yesterday's fight, and Albert displayed a strong momentum, Noah began to doubt Albert's identity.

What was his purpose in lurking beside Madeline? Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"I'll explain to Madeline what happened yesterday." Noah's tone was condensed, but he released from the doorknob.

Albert smiled but said nothing, but his expression told Noah he was satisfied with Noah's actions.

Noah felt depressed and asked impolitely, "Since when did you start working with Madeline?"

"Five years ago. I started working with Ms. Madeline when you abandoned her in the hospital to fend for herself." Albert smiled mockingly, and there was a hint of coldness.

Noah narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not explain that he did not know what happened to Madeline back then, nor did he leave her in the hospital to fend for himself, but asked, "You saved Madeline?"

Albert did not speak, and Noah continued to speculate. "If you saved Madeline, as Madeline's savior, she wouldn't let you be her assistant. Who is the person behind you?"

"It's someone you can't afford to offend. I advise you. Don't do anything wrong to Ms. Madeline, or you won't be able to afford the consequences." After Albert finished speaking, he turned and went to take care of the children for lunch.

He did not care about Noah's reaction at all.

Noah stood there to watch Albert's back without moving for a long time.

He believed that Albert was not a bluffing person, so there was indeed a strong person who saved Madeline five years ago.

What is that person's gender? What is his purpose in saving Madeline? After Madeline returned to Imperia, her news about being with me was so loud, but why didn't that person come forward? Or maybe he has been in touch with Madeline all along, and I don't know it.

From Madeline's return to Imperia until now, Noah knew Madeline had many secrets. For example, how did Madeline become the president of the Charity Association? How did she know Joseph? Who did she learn the killing tricks she showed from time to time?

Noah did not ask her because he wanted to wait for her to tell him. But now, because of his mistake yesterday, Albert could not trust him anymore. The person behind Albert might take some action because of it.

Noah's eyes turned cold. No matter who the people behind Albert were, he would not allow him to destroy the relationship between him and Madeline.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Suddenly, Madeline rushed out of the ward. Her tired face was full of joy.

Albert heard her voice and rushed over immediately. "Ms. Madeline, the doctor will be here soon. Is Mr. Quinn awake?"

"Yes, Xander is awake! He finally woke up!" Madeline finally felt relieved.

"Mommy, is Godfather awake?" Mackenzie was the one who cared about Xander the most among the three children. When she heard Madeline's voice, she stopped eating and came out.

Thomas and Colton also followed her with concerns.

Colton did not know Xander well, but yesterday Xander had saved them. Even though Trenton's men kept hitting Xander, he did not give up rescuing them. So Colton was grateful and worried about Xander.

"The doctor is here!" Albert pulled the children aside.

Then, everyone surrounded the doctor and entered the ward. The corridor suddenly became empty and quiet.

Noah stood aside silently. He pondered for a while before walking into the ward. But as soon as he reached the door, Colton stopped him. "Daddy, there are too many people inside. Let's go out first."

"Hurry up, Daddy! Or Godfather won't be able to breathe!" Mackenzie saw that Noah did not move and reached out to grab him.

It happened that Noah saw Madeline holding Xander's hands, and his expression turned cold.

Colton sensed something was wrong when he followed Noah's gaze. He worried Noah would do something Madeline hated, so he quickly dragged Noah out.

Noah lost his mind for a while but quickly regained his senses. He allowed Colton to pull him to a quiet corner.

As for Mackenzie and Thomas, they were lying on the door frame watching Xander.

Colton looked at Noah calmly with distressed and helpless eyes. He moved two small chairs over and sat with Noah as if he wanted to talk with Noah.

Noah absently turned the phone in his hand and glanced toward the ward several times.

"Daddy, why didn't you rush back to save us yesterday?" Colton asked.

Colton had already heard from Albert that Madeline ignored Noah because Noah used them to attract Trenton, but Noah did not come back in time to save them.

As for why Noah did not rush back to rescue them, Albert had already investigated it clearly, but he did not tell Colton except Madeline.

"Daddy had something to do, so it was delayed." Noah could not help but frown when he thought of what had happened yesterday. He was full of guilt and remorse.

"Is there anything more important than us?" Colton looked at him angrily.

Noah was stunned. Of course, no one is more important than my wife and children.

"In my heart, you all are always the most important. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, and I'll try to make up for it in the future and get your forgiveness."
