Chapter 382 The Medicine Was Ready

"Can't you tell us why?" Colton looked at Noah, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

Noah did not want the children to be involved in this matter, but when he met Colton's eyes, he suddenly understood that the child he had raised himself was already mature enough to help him share his worries.

"Daddy, we're a family. Is there anything you can't say to us? Mommy will be very sad if you continue like this." Colton helplessly sighed when Noah did not speak.

Adults always thought he, Thomas, and Mackenzie were children, so they kept everything from the three of them, but it was clear children saw more clearly than adults.

Just like now, Colton felt that as long as Noah explained to Madeline clearly why he did not rush back to rescue them in time yesterday, Madeline would forgive Noah, but Noah did not explain. That was why Madeline was angry.

Noah glanced at Xander's ward, then saw Mackenzie and Thomas entering the room. He turned to look at Colton again and felt uncomfortable no matter what.

"I arranged for people to protect you all yesterday, but they betrayed me. When I fought with the people from Trenton, I met a woman who looked like your grandma, so I chased her..."

"Grandma? Is it your biological mother?" Colton was stunned. He had never heard Noah mention that he had a grandma.

Isn't Grandpa the only elder in the family?

"Yes, she left the Quincy family when I was four. Grandpa ordered everyone in the Quincy family not to mention her name, so you don't know her." If Noah did not have a photo of his parents together, he would forget what his mother looked like.

When he saw that woman yesterday, he was shocked and wanted to find out the cause of his father's death and why his mother left the Quincy family. But he did not expect that she had gotten shot to save him and almost died.

He sent her to the hospital and rushed back to the villa after she was out of danger, but it was still too late to save Madeline and the children.

"Can't Mommy know about this?" Colton did not understand. He thought this reason was enough for Madeline to forgive Noah. After all, Madeline was so kind. When he thought so, he completely underestimated the importance of the three of them in Madeline's heart.

"To your mommy, you all are important. No matter what reasons I give, she won't forgive me easily. This matter involves a lot, and it's better not to involve her. You have to keep it a secret temporarily, okay?"

If Noah had not been depressed in his heart, and Colton could keep secrets since he was a child, Noah would not have told him the truth.

"You must confess your mistake to Mommy and ask Mommy to forgive you sooner." Colton saw Noah's distressed expression and believed that letting Madeline know about the truth would not be good for her, so he would help Noah keep the secret.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you all." Noah patted Colton's head. "Go in and take good care of Mommy for me."

"Daddy, please settle Grandma's matter as soon as possible. After that, let's go back to Imperia." Colton stood up and walked toward the ward while talking.

When he walked to the door, he turned to see Noah still sitting on the small chair. His tall figure was slightly bent, and Noah looked desolated and pitiful.

"Colt, what are you looking at?" Thomas approached Colton while biting an apple.

Colton glanced into the ward and saw that Mackenzie had climbed onto the bed to massage Xander, and Madeline was talking to Xander and smiling. He felt more and more pitiful for Noah.

"Look at Daddy. Doesn't he look pitiful?" Colton decided to find an ally for Noah. But Thomas only took a look and answered, "I don't think so. Didn't Uncle Albert leave lunch for Daddy?"

Colton helplessly sighed as Thomas could not understand what he meant.

"Come on, don't sigh! We were talking about you just now. Come in with me to see Godfather." Thomas pulled Colton to the bed without waiting for Colton's response. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

When Madeline saw Colton, she thought of Noah and subconsciously looked at the door, but she did not see Noah. Her eyes dimmed slightly but returned to normal in an instant.

"Godfather, thanks for your help yesterday. Daddy asked me to thank you on his behalf just now." Colton looked at Xander and said half-truthfully.

As there was gauze on Xander's face, Colton could not see Xander's expression, but Xander showed gentleness when he looked at Colton. "Is Mr. Quincy okay?"

"Daddy is fine. He said what had happened yesterday was an accident, and he'll protect us in the future." When Colton said that, he turned to look at Madeline.

It was a pity that Madeline lowered her head to peel the apple and had not noticed Colton.

"It's good that everyone is fine." Xander breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Madeline tenderly while Madeline looked up and smiled at him.

Colton was anxious and wanted to mention Noah again, but Madeline got up to answer the phone.

The call was from Albert. After confirming that Xander had woken up, Albert started tracking Trenton's whereabouts.

"When our people chased Trenton to the pier, we failed to find him. He may have returned to Imperia. Several forces in Uranica are chasing and killing him. I don't think he'll ever come back to Uranica in his life."

"It's okay. Trenton absolutely can't be a coward. He will cause us trouble again when we return to Imperia." Madeline chuckled lightly. She wanted to get back from Trenton for what Xander suffered this time.

"William's medicine is ready. Do you want to come to the research center with Mr. Quincy?"

The research center that Albert mentioned was Andy's research site in Uranica. Although the equipment and the researchers were not as good as the previous research center that belonged to Trenton, it was still at the top level in the world.

Madeline and Noah would take medicine over there. If there was any problem, they could get help as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." After Madeline hung up the phone, she turned to Xander and said, "I'm going out for a while. You can rest assured here to recuperate."

"Don't worry. I'm fine. I'll talk to my mom about it." Xander respected Madeline as always.

He believed in her and never asked more about her. Because he knew Madeline had erected defense in her heart, and anyone who tried to cross the line would arouse her disgust.

"You all go back to your room to play. Don't disturb Godfather to rest." When Madeline left, she took the children out as well.

Colton snuggled up to Madeline. He tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Mommy, Daddy hasn't eaten yet. I'm afraid he'll get a stomach problem."
