Chapter 415 Blood Ties
“You can’t expect me to do nothing when someone has tried to go after my children’s lives multiple times,” Madeline said while looking straight at Noah without backing down.
It was a reckless act on her part today, but there was no reason for her to give up on finding the culprit after her children.”
“I will get to the bottom of the matter. You’re not in good health right now. You’re better off staying in the laboratory instead of running around.” Noah rushed to the scene, only to find Madeline’s life hanging by the thread, literally. His blood ran cold.
He could not believe that Madeline forgot about the danger so quickly.
Noah was furious that she took matters into her own hands, that she had no trust in him, and that she could not care less about his feelings.
Madeline looked deeply into Noah’s eyes before taking her time to ask, “Will you really find out about the whole thing, Mr. Quincy?”
Noah pulled a frown. “What are you suspecting?”
“Nothing. I’ll be waiting to get an answer since you said so.” Madeline knew that Noah would only stop her from investigating the matter from here on out.
Plus, she could feel the feebleness taking over her. Even her mind was not sharp like before. Madeline needed rest.
There was more than what Madeline was leading on. Noah ended the conversation there as Madeline accepted his notion.
“Madeline!”
“Maddie!”
Oscar and Rowan walked out of the laboratory, looking rather thrilled.
Rowan extended his arms to hold Madeline, but Noah was one step ahead and stood between them. Noah’s grimacing face was enough to ward Rowan off from embracing Madeline. He embarrassedly put down his arms.
These boys were the last people Madeline expected to see here. With awkwardness running in the air, Madeline brushed past Noah and approached Rowan. She asked, “Why are you here?
Meanwhile, Noah shot an angry look at Dylan. Dylan shrugged and pointed at Alexander.
“I heard from Alexander that you’re doing poorly. We were worried, so we came to visit you,” Rowan answered.
Madeline was touched. Although she hit it off with the Solace boys, they were merely friends. It never occurred to her that they would travel far to see her.
“Dr. Solace, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation about this!” Everybody could feel the tension coming from Noah.
Noah only agreed for Alexander to come along with Dylan because of Alexander’s expertise in the medical field. Besides, Noah trusted Alexander would not do anything to harm Madeline.
Nevertheless, it did not mean that Alexander could bring any Tom, Dick, or Harry to the place.
Did Alexander not know the importance of the drug for Noah and Madeline? There were lives at stake the more people knew about it. Noah believed Alexander was aware of the risk.
Alexander understood the fact. However, he had taken Madeline’s hair follicles for a DNA test against his blood. The test results showed that they were related by blood.
The test confirmed the family’s suspicion, and Alexander immediately told his brothers about it. The other Solace boys wanted to rush here right away.
Considering the confidentiality of the drug, Alexander did not say yes.
Nevertheless, Rowan told him something yesterday which made Alexander link to Noah’s behavior in the past few days. Worried about Madeline’s safety, he agreed to let his brothers come along and stick up for Madeline.
“The Solaces possessed the most advanced medical apparatus and drugs to help you bounce back,” Alexander answered.
Noah looked at Dylan, and the latter bobbed his head. The Solace family specialized in pharmacy and health care, and their stuff produced great results. Dylan would not have believed it if he did not see it with his own eyes.
Alexander kept everything under wraps and was only willing to show his hand now.
“Even so, you have no right to bring outsiders here without authorization.” Noah gave Alexander the stink eye.
Alexander replied with a smile, “I have asked Mr. Jones, but he’s fine with it. I believe the laboratory belongs to Mr. Jones.”
Everybody turned their attention to Andy. With a poker face, Andy faintly nodded. “The two gentlemen are friends of Ms. Grant. They can provide us with medical tools and drugs. Plus, they have the matching blood type with Ms. Grant, so I made the call to invite them here.”
“Blood type? Do we do blood transfusions?” Madeline inquired.
She had heard that they were going to have surgery. Could the problem not be solved with drugs?
Andy explained, “It’s a last-minute decision that Dr. Felch and I have made. We will cut into you to remove the cyst when you take the drugs.”
Madeline furrowed her brows. It appeared things were more complicated than she thought.
Feeling a heaviness in his chest, Noah worriedly looked at Madeline. Madeline noticed his gaze and gave a relaxed smile. “I shall leave my life in your hands.”
Noah gave the Solace brothers a dirty look, disapproving of Rowan and Oscar’s presence here. Madeline pulled Noah to the side and whispered, “They are here anyway. What’s the point of you driving them out? Just let them stay.”
“Don’t you think the Solace brothers are cozying up to you a little too much?” Noah could not stand the sight of anybody by the last name, Solace.
Madeline found Alexander’s excuse a little far-fetched too since for someone of status like the Solace family in Uranica, how could they possibly come all this way to give her blood?
Still, she did not believe they carried any ill intentions toward her.
Madeline tried to convince Noah, “Just let them stay and see what they are up to. It will be fine since Andy is here.”
Noah stared at Andy with a complicated look on his face. Like Albert, Andy had been by Madeline’s side for the last five years. He had the utmost loyalty for Madeline, but why did he agree to let the Solace brothers join the experiment at a crucial moment like this?
Despite racking his brains, Noah only came to one conclusion, and that was Andy did not trust him. The Solace brothers were only here to back Madeline up.
The notion did not sit well with Noah.
Andy made no attempts to hide his thoughts. Noah had to share a room with Madeline while taking the drug because there was only one medical device. Now that they had two apparatuses in possession, a shared room was no longer required.
Hence, Andy happily assigned Madeline and Noah in the furthest rooms away from each other.
Besides, Madeline’s ward was heavily guarded.
Noah had not seen her since Madeline stepped into the ward. He could only get updates on Madeline’s health and the Solace brother’s fawning behavior from Dylan.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
